Description
CHILD DETERRENT PACKAGE
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a package with locking system designed to deter children from opening the package.
BACKGROUND TO THE INVENTION
House hold products are provided to the consumer in containers with an opening and, generally with a closure mechanism. Depending on the product form the container may be for example a bottle, box or tub. The present relates to packages with wide openings, in the forms of tubs and boxes, suitable for allowing entry of a hand to retrieve product inside. The containers are thus suitable for containing products such as unitary doses or powders for example.
Recently unitary dose products, such compressed powder tablets and water-soluble film pouches have become more popular as they offer consumers a convenient dosage size avoiding mis-dosing and mess. Such containers and closures preferably comprise a locking mechanism, to increase the complexity of opening the container so as to deter children from gaining access to the product within. Containers on the market today comprise locking systems on the front face of the container and closure. However it has been an object of the present study to identify further ways of securing the closure to the container.
Particularly, the Applicant has found, that if the materials used are able to flex, then a closure may be seen as being too easy to open, even by a child. The applicants have thus sought to redesign the package container and closure or lid assembly to improve child deterrence.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
According to the present invention there is provided a child deterrent package comprising a container, and a lid assembly having front and back edges and a left and right side, and comprising at least three locking devices wherein at least one of said locking devices is located on the front edge and at least a second locking device is located on either the left and/or right side, wherein at least one locking device is located within proximity of a corner intersection of a front or back edge with a left or right sides.
