- the container is adapted to receive a security device inserted therein to lock the container in the closed position. Examples of such a device are disclosed in WO02/39451.
- Such devices can be very effective but the security device may secure a base and lid portion of the container together only in a localised area. The container may thus remain vulnerable to being prised open at positions away from the area in which the security device engages the lid and base portions.
- lid and base portion of a container are secured together along the length of one side thereof, typically the side opposite a hinge portion joining the lid and base portions.
- the present invention seeks to enhance the security provided by a security device such as that described in WO02/39451 referred to above.
- a container comprising a base portion and a lid portion moveable between open and closed positions, a pair of locking members located within the container each movable between a locked position in which it engages part of both the base portion and lid portion, when in the closed position, so as to prevent them being moved to the open position and an unlocked position in which it does not prevent the base and lid portions being moved to the open position, the locking members each having an actuating portion for interacting with an actuating device inserted into the container through an aperture therein, said interaction causing both of the locking members to move from the unlocked position to the locked position, the actuating portions being located within the container adjacent opposite sides of said aperture.

- the container shown in FIGS. 1-5 has holding means 4 for holding discs, the holding means 4 comprising an upstand which is provided with overhanging portions 4 A, 4 B under which the periphery of a disk can be slid.
- This type of holding means is described further in WO2006/134383.
- similar holding means 4 may be provided in both the base portion 1 and the lid portion 2 of the container.
- FIG. 1 also shows one of a pair of locking members 5 (which will be described further below) and an actuating member 6 inserted into the container.
- the actuating member 6 is very similar to the insertable security device described in WO02/39451 referred to above and the description thereof is incorporated herein.
- the actuating member 6 comprises a first long arm 6 A and a second short arm 6 B each extending from a head portion 6 C.
- the actuating member is insertable into a container through apertures or slots therein so that the long arm 6 A engages the base portion 1 and the short arm engages the lid portion 6 with the head portion 6 C lying adjacent an outer surface of the container (typically within a finger recess).
- the long arm 6 A carries a magnetic locking device (not shown) in the region indicated by reference numeral 7 which locks the long arm 6 to the base portion 1 once the long arm 6 A has been fully inserted into the container.
- the member 6 When the member 6 is inserted into a closed container it thus serves to lock the lid and base portion 1 , 2 in the closed position and can only be released upon application of the container to a special magnetic release device which releases the magnetic lock so the member 6 can be withdrawn from the container.
- the member 6 is inserted into the container through an aperture or slot 1 A positioned midway along a side wall of the base portion 1 opposite the spine portion 3 . Whilst this can be very effective in locking the container in the closed position, due to the position of the engagement between the arms 6 A, 6 B of the member 6 and the container, the corners 8 A, 8 B of the container remote from the spine portion 3 remain vulnerable to being prised open, e.g. by insertion of a knife blade between the base portion 1 and lid portion 2 in the vicinity of these corners.
- each of the locking members 5 comprises a rod 5 A extending from adjacent the aperture 1 A in the base portion to one of the corners 8 A, 8 B.
- Each rod 5 A is also provided with a curved resilient arm 5 B extending from part way along the length of the rod 5 A, the outer end 5 C of the resilient arm 5 B being located within a mounting 1 B upstanding from the base portion 1 .
- the inner ends 5 D of the locking members 5 form actuating portions which are located adjacent opposite sides of the aperture 1 A as shown in FIG. 3 .
- the ends 5 D are spaced from each other by a distance less than the width of the aperture 1 A and the outer ends 5 E of the rods 5 A are retracted within a slot of an upstand 1 C provided on the base portion.
- the locking members 5 do not engage the lid portion 2 so do not prevent the lid portion 2 from moving between the open and closed positions.
- the sides of the long arm 6 A thereof engage the inner ends 5 D of the rods 5 A and so push the rods 5 A outwards towards the respective corners 8 A, 8 B.
- the outer ends 5 E of the rods 5 A then each engage with an aperture 2 A adjacent each corner of the lid portion 2 (see FIG. 5 ).
- the rods 5 thus act as bolts securing the corners of the base and lid portion 1 and 2 in the closed position.
- the arms 6 A and 6 B of actuating member 6 serve to secure the lid and base portion 1 , 2 together in the central region of the side of the container opposite the spine portion 3 and the locking members 5 are pushed outwards by the actuating member 6 so as to secure the lid and base portions 1 , 2 together in the vicinity of the corners 8 A, 8 B.
- the security of the locking arrangement is thus enhanced.
- side walls of the base and lid portions 1 , 2 overlap each other when in the closed position so that the apertures 2 A in the side walls of the lid portion 2 are aligned with the outer ends 5 E of the locking members 5 whereby they are engaged by the locking members 5 when these are pushed outwardly by insertion of the locking member 6 .
- locking member and/or apertures in the lid portion may be provided to ensure the corners of a clam-shell container in which the side walls of the lid and base portion abut each other (rather than overlap each other) can be locked in a similar manner.
- a pivotable blocking member 4 C is provided on the upstand.
- the blocking member 4 C lies adjacent the edge of a disk retained by the upstand 4 so as to block sliding movement of the disk out from beneath the overhanging portions 4 A, 4 B in a similar manner to the locking device shown in WO2006/134383 referred to above. This can be arranged so that, when it is desired to slide a disk out, it is pivoted upwards away from the edge of the disk so the disk is free to be slid out.
- the blocking member 4 C may be arranged to pivot downwards, towards the bottom of the base portion 1 (and not upwards) to move it away from the edge of the disk.
- This has the advantage that when the activating member 6 is inserted into the apparatus, the long arm 6 A thereof automatically lifts the blocking member 4 C to the locked position. Furthermore, the activating member 6 thus holds the blocking member 4 C in the locked position so it cannot be pivoted to an unlocked position until after the activating member 6 has been unlocked and withdrawn from the apparatus.
- the blocking member pivots downwards to an unlocked position by its own resilience or the resilience of its connection to the upstand 4 .
- FIGS. 1-5 The apparatus shown in FIGS. 1-5 is arranged to hold two disks which are slid out in opposite directions: both being slid towards the centre of the base portion.
- the blocking means preferably lies adjacent the edges of both disks and so prevents both from sliding out inadvertently.
- FIG. 6 shows a similar arrangement of side bolts which are arranged to be actuated by insertion of an actuating member, such as the removable security device described in WO02/39451, but in a container having holding means arranged to hold a disk by means of a hub 9 which engages a central aperture of the disk (as also described in WO02/39451).
- an actuating member such as the removable security device described in WO02/39451

- the apertures 2 A are thus provided on projecting portions which overlap with the sides of the base portion 1 in the closed position.
- the actuating member 6 preferably serves to lock the lid and base portions 1 , 2 together itself (either by having two arms which respectively engage the lid and base portion as illustrated or by having one or more arms which fit within aligned apertures in the base and lid portions, e.g. in overlapping side walls thereof).
- the actuating member may not provide this locking function although it is still arranged to actuate locking members in the form of side bolts such as those described above.

Abstract
Description
- This application claims the benefit of priority of Great Britain patent application serial number 0804733.4 filed on Mar. 14, 2008, which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety.
- This invention relates to a container and, more particularly, a container for securely housing goods in a retail outlet. The invention also relates to such a container in combination with an actuating device insertable therein.
- A variety of security devices are known for securing containers, such as those used for housing CDs or DVDs, in a closed position are known. In some cases, the container is adapted to receive a security device inserted therein to lock the container in the closed position. Examples of such a device are disclosed in WO02/39451. Such devices can be very effective but the security device may secure a base and lid portion of the container together only in a localised area. The container may thus remain vulnerable to being prised open at positions away from the area in which the security device engages the lid and base portions.
- Other security devices are known in which the lid and base portion of a container are secured together along the length of one side thereof, typically the side opposite a hinge portion joining the lid and base portions.
- The present invention seeks to enhance the security provided by a security device such as that described in WO02/39451 referred to above.
- According to a first aspect of the present invention, there is provided a container comprising a base portion and a lid portion moveable between open and closed positions, a pair of locking members located within the container each movable between a locked position in which it engages part of both the base portion and lid portion, when in the closed position, so as to prevent them being moved to the open position and an unlocked position in which it does not prevent the base and lid portions being moved to the open position, the locking members each having an actuating portion for interacting with an actuating device inserted into the container through an aperture therein, said interaction causing both of the locking members to move from the unlocked position to the locked position, the actuating portions being located within the container adjacent opposite sides of said aperture.
- Preferred and optional features of the invention will be apparent from the following description and from the subsidiary claims of the specification.
- The invention will now be further described, merely by way of example, with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which:
-
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of part of a container according to a first embodiment of the invention showing a locking member and an actuating device inserted into the container; -
FIG. 2 is a plan view of the part of the container shown inFIG. 1 and of the locking member showing the actuating member prior to insertion into the container; -
FIG. 3 is a perspective view of part of the container shown inFIGS. 1 and 2 showing an aperture therein, actuating portions of a pair of locking members and the actuating member prior to inserting into the container; -
FIG. 4 is a plan view corresponding toFIG. 2 but showing the actuating member inserted into the container; -
FIG. 5 is a perspective view of the container shown inFIGS. 1-4 in an open position; and -
FIG. 6 is a perspective view of a container according to a second embodiment of the invention in an open position. - The containers shown in the drawings are designed for holding one or more discs, e.g. CDs or DVDs and comprise a
base portion 1, alid portion 2 andspine portion 3 connecting thebase portion 1 and the lid portion 2 (seeFIGS. 5 and 6 ). - The container shown in
FIGS. 1-5 has holdingmeans 4 for holding discs, theholding means 4 comprising an upstand which is provided with overhangingportions FIG. 5 , similar holding means 4 may be provided in both thebase portion 1 and thelid portion 2 of the container. -
FIG. 1 also shows one of a pair of locking members 5 (which will be described further below) and an actuating member 6 inserted into the container. The actuating member 6 is very similar to the insertable security device described in WO02/39451 referred to above and the description thereof is incorporated herein. - The actuating member 6 comprises a first
long arm 6A and a secondshort arm 6B each extending from ahead portion 6C. The actuating member is insertable into a container through apertures or slots therein so that thelong arm 6A engages thebase portion 1 and the short arm engages the lid portion 6 with thehead portion 6C lying adjacent an outer surface of the container (typically within a finger recess). Thelong arm 6A carries a magnetic locking device (not shown) in the region indicated byreference numeral 7 which locks the long arm 6 to thebase portion 1 once thelong arm 6A has been fully inserted into the container. When the member 6 is inserted into a closed container it thus serves to lock the lid andbase portion - As shown in
FIG. 5 , the member 6 is inserted into the container through an aperture orslot 1A positioned midway along a side wall of thebase portion 1 opposite thespine portion 3. Whilst this can be very effective in locking the container in the closed position, due to the position of the engagement between thearms corners spine portion 3 remain vulnerable to being prised open, e.g. by insertion of a knife blade between thebase portion 1 andlid portion 2 in the vicinity of these corners. - To counteract this, the present invention provides a pair of
additional locking members 5. In the embodiment shown, each of thelocking members 5 comprises arod 5A extending from adjacent theaperture 1A in the base portion to one of thecorners rod 5A is also provided with a curvedresilient arm 5B extending from part way along the length of therod 5A, theouter end 5C of theresilient arm 5B being located within amounting 1B upstanding from thebase portion 1. - The
inner ends 5D of thelocking members 5 form actuating portions which are located adjacent opposite sides of theaperture 1A as shown inFIG. 3 . In the unlocked position (shown inFIGS. 2 and 3 ), theends 5D are spaced from each other by a distance less than the width of theaperture 1A and theouter ends 5E of therods 5A are retracted within a slot of anupstand 1C provided on the base portion. In this position, thelocking members 5 do not engage thelid portion 2 so do not prevent thelid portion 2 from moving between the open and closed positions. - When the actuating member 6 is inserted into the container through the
slot 1A, the sides of thelong arm 6A thereof engage theinner ends 5D of therods 5A and so push therods 5A outwards towards therespective corners outer ends 5E of therods 5A then each engage with anaperture 2A adjacent each corner of the lid portion 2 (seeFIG. 5 ). Therods 5 thus act as bolts securing the corners of the base andlid portion - Thus, the
arms base portion spine portion 3 and thelocking members 5 are pushed outwards by the actuating member 6 so as to secure the lid andbase portions corners - In the embodiments shown, side walls of the base and
lid portions apertures 2A in the side walls of thelid portion 2 are aligned with theouter ends 5E of thelocking members 5 whereby they are engaged by thelocking members 5 when these are pushed outwardly by insertion of the locking member 6. - Other forms of locking member and/or apertures in the lid portion may be provided to ensure the corners of a clam-shell container in which the side walls of the lid and base portion abut each other (rather than overlap each other) can be locked in a similar manner.
- When the
locking members 5 are pushed outwardly, thecurved arms 5B thereof are flexed so that when the actuating member 6 is withdrawn, thelocking members 5 automatically move back to their unlocked positions as the resilience of thearms 5B causes them to move back to an unstressed position. Other forms of resilient means may be used to provide a similar function. - As indicated above, disks are installed and removed from the
upstand 4 by sliding beneath overhangingportions pivotable blocking member 4C is provided on the upstand. In the position shown inFIG. 1 , the blockingmember 4C lies adjacent the edge of a disk retained by theupstand 4 so as to block sliding movement of the disk out from beneath the overhangingportions - Alternatively, the blocking
member 4C may be arranged to pivot downwards, towards the bottom of the base portion 1 (and not upwards) to move it away from the edge of the disk. This has the advantage that when the activating member 6 is inserted into the apparatus, thelong arm 6A thereof automatically lifts the blockingmember 4C to the locked position. Furthermore, the activating member 6 thus holds the blockingmember 4C in the locked position so it cannot be pivoted to an unlocked position until after the activating member 6 has been unlocked and withdrawn from the apparatus. Preferably, when the activating member is withdrawn, the blocking member pivots downwards to an unlocked position by its own resilience or the resilience of its connection to theupstand 4. - The apparatus shown in
FIGS. 1-5 is arranged to hold two disks which are slid out in opposite directions: both being slid towards the centre of the base portion. As in WO2006/134383, the blocking means preferably lies adjacent the edges of both disks and so prevents both from sliding out inadvertently. -
FIG. 6 shows a similar arrangement of side bolts which are arranged to be actuated by insertion of an actuating member, such as the removable security device described in WO02/39451, but in a container having holding means arranged to hold a disk by means of ahub 9 which engages a central aperture of the disk (as also described in WO02/39451). It will be appreciated that, in this type of container, thelong arm 6A of the actuating member may fulfill a further function, namely to fit beneath thehub 9 so that thehub 9 cannot be depressed to release the disk until the actuating member has been withdrawn. Again, this is described in greater detail in WO02/39451). - In
FIG. 6 , the lid andbase portions apertures 2A are thus provided on projecting portions which overlap with the sides of thebase portion 1 in the closed position. - As described above, the actuating member 6 preferably serves to lock the lid and
base portions - As mentioned above, the actuating member is preferably secured within the container by means of a locking device which can be deactivated by applying one or more magnetic fields in appropriate positions. However, other forms of locking device may be used, e.g. a mechanical lock requiring a special mechanical tool to be applied to the container, e.g. to release one or more detents.
- A similar arrangement of side bolts which are arranged to be actuated by insertion of an actuating member of the type described may be used to lock containers for other articles, e.g. other forms of data storage media or healthcare products.
- Whilst the embodiments described above use a direct mechanical interaction between both the actuating member and the locking members to move the latter to their locked positions, other forms of interaction may be used (e.g. magnetic or a more complex mechanical mechanism).
