Definitions
- the present disclosure relates generally to lockable packaging. More specifically, the present disclosure relates to adjustable mechanisms for use with a selectably lockable case.
- Child-resistant or lockable containers wherein multiple movements are required to open the container, have many uses.
- One use for a lockable container is to control the dispensing of medicine and medicaments in the form of pills and tablets.
- locking caps on medicine bottles are well known.
- the typical locking cap mechanism requires a coordinated alignment and tipping, or axial pressure, or inward radial squeezing while turning the cap to remove it from its container in order to access the medicaments.
- medicines are packaged in convenient flat boxes, which are difficult to secure with child-resistant features.
- Many medicaments in the form of tablets are sold in blister packs - blisters formed on a sheet sealed by a barrier that is punctured when extracting a tablet from a blister.
- a typical cardboard flat box holding one or more blister packs is opened the entire contents of the package is exposed, making all of the tablets immediately available.
- the dangers posed by children with access to a large quantity of tablets not intended for their consumption is self evident.
- the illustrated embodiments of the present disclosure are directed to a child-resistant lockable container for storage and dispensing of medications packaged with a slideable member that holds items, for example, a tray, a drawer with compartments, a blister card, a blister pack, or the like ("slideable card").
- the slideable card is illustrated as a conventional blister package, but the slideable member can be a tray, a slideable package, or any other packaging, as is known to those skilled in the art.
- the lockable container is illustrated as a two-piece molded plastic container closed on three sides to form a void that receives the slideable card.
- the slideable card slideably translates through the open fourth side of the lockable container. Posts molded on one piece of the lockable container are connected, and in some embodiments sealed or welded, with the corresponding hollow cylinders molded on the other piece of the lockable container. Other attachment mechanisms can be used, and use of such other mechanisms is contemplated.
- the lockable container can include one or more locking features.
- the locking features can include engagement mechanisms formed on one or both of the two pieces of the lockable container.
- the engagement mechanisms can include, for example, one or more posts, apertures, catches, lips, hooks, adhesives, metallic and/or magnetic surfaces, VELCRO ® fasteners, or other mechanisms ("post").
- post When the slideable card is inserted into the container, the engagement mechanisms can engage receiving mechanisms formed on or in the slideable card.
- the receiving mechanisms can include, for example, one or more apertures, posts, catches, lips, hooks, adhesives, metallic and/or magnetic surfaces, VELCRO ® fasteners, or other mechanisms ("aperture").
- a release button is located on the lockable container, and is positioned proximate to the post.
- a means for biasing such as ribs and/or springs, can be located proximate the engaging or receiving mechanisms to exert a compressive force upon, and thereby urge, the engaging mechanism to engage the receiving mechanism. Pressing the release button manipulates the slideable card to disengage the engaging and receiving mechanisms so that the slideable card can be slideably removed.
- the lockable container is equipped with a lock deactivation feature, several embodiments of which are herein disclosed and described.
- the lock deactivation feature can be integrated or can be attached to the lockable container.
- a slideable spacer can be included in the lockable container.
- the slideable spacer can include a lock release that is slideable into a position adjacent the locking post. When the lock release is in this position, the locking aperture of the slideable element is prevented from completely engaging the locking post.
- a slideable locking post is included in the lockable container. When the slideable locking post is placed into a first position, the locking aperture of the slideable element can engage the slideable locking post. When the slideable locking post is placed into a second position, the locking aperture of the slideable element cannot engage the slideable locking post. As such, when the slideable locking post is in the second position, the locking feature of the lockable container is effectively disabled.
- a slideable composite locking mechanism in another embodiment, includes a biasing element and a locking post.
- the locking aperture of the slideable element can engage the composite locking mechanism.
- the locking aperture of the slideable element cannot engage the slideable locking post of the slideable composite locking mechanism.
- a storing and dispensing system can include a case and a sliding element.
- the sliding element can include a first locking element.
- the case can include a first side and a second side matingly connected to form a void for receiving the sliding element.
- the case can include an open end to permit the sliding element to translate between a first position and a second position.
- the case can also include a channel to receive a slideable spacer associated with an internal locking mechanism and an access port proximate to the channel configured to allow access to the slideable spacer.
- the case can also include a release proximate to the internal locking mechanism.
- the first locking element includes at least one locking aperture.
- a slideable spacer can be positioned within the channel and can extend therefrom.
- the sliding element can further include a hinge.
- at least one of the sides includes a second locking element configured to releasably engage the first locking element.
- the sliding element further includes a spacer aperture.
- the slideable spacer further includes at least one locking post.
- the slideable spacer further includes a locking post and a biasing element configured to urge the sliding element against the locking post.
- the second locking element includes at least one locking post.
- At least one of the sides includes a biasing element proximate the at least one slideable locking post and configured to urge the sliding element against the at least one slideable locking post.
- At least one of the sides includes a biasing element proximate to the at least one locking post, and configured to urge the sliding element against the at least one locking post.

- the present disclosure is not limited to the pharmaceutical-related goods referenced with the illustrated embodiments, but is applicable to any small, delicate, sensitive, or portable item.
- examples of such items include all manner of consumable products such as candy, food, vitamins, and the like; all manner of personal care products such as contact lens, birth control devices, smoking cessation patches, hearing aid batteries, and the like; and any item that can fit within a portable container.
- the present disclosure is not limited to the trays and blister packs referenced with the illustrated embodiments, but is applicable to any slideable tray, card, rack, pack, pouch, and the like to or within which an item of any sort may be held, stored, attached, secured or otherwise associated.
- FIG. 1 there is shown an exploded view of an exemplary lockable package 10 (also referred to as a "lockable container”).
- the lockable package 10 holds a sliding element 12 within a selectively lockable case 14 ("case").
- the sliding element 12 can be a tray, a blister pack, a pouch, a drawer, a card, a rack, or the like ("slideable element,” “card,” or “tray”)
- the case 14 comprises a base 16 and a top 18.
- a release button 20 is defined by an aperture 22.
- the aperture 22 surrounds the release button 20, except for a hinge 24 that connects the release button 20 to the base 16.
- the portion of the release button 20 that is moveable i.e., the portion of the release button 20 that is opposite the hinge 24 and bound by the aperture 22, is referred to as the free end 26.
- the inside edge of the free end 26 includes an extended rim 28. Pushing inwardly on the free end 26 of the release button 20 pushes the extended rim 28 inwardly to free an engaged tray 12, as explained in detail below.
- the case 14 can have at least one open end 29 through which the sliding element 12 can move.
- the base 16 includes internal elements that form an internal locking mechanism.
- a locking post 30 with an engaging edge 32 is located proximate the release button 20.
- a spacer channel 36 Positioned along a base end wall 34 is a spacer channel 36, configured to slideably receive a slideable spacer 38.
- Integral to both the base 16 and top 18 are means for attaching 40, explained in detail below. Also integral to the base 16 and/or the top 18 is an optional end cap 42.
- the base 16, the top 18, or both, can include means for attaching 40.
- the base 16 and top 18 can be permanently or temporarily attached by cylinders 44 that matingly engage pins 46 (not shown), base side walls 48 that engage top side walls 50, combinations thereof, or the like. More specifically, the side walls 48 can include engaging tabs 52 that connect to tab apertures 54 located on the top side walls 50. In this manner, the base 16 and top 18 can be snapped together to form a case 14. After or during assembly, the base 16 and the top 18 that form the case 14 can be permanently welded together.
- the illustrated sliding element 12 may be a tray or a blister card, including blisters, configured to hold items.
- the sliding element 12 includes a locking post receiver or locking aperture 56, a spacer aperture 58, and an optional hinge 60.
- the locking aperture 56 is configured to cooperatively engage the sliding element 12 to the base 16 to prevent removal of the tray 12 from the case 14.
- the locking aperture 56 is positioned to cooperatively engage the post 30 to prevent movement or translation of the card 12 until the card 12 is released by pressing or otherwise manipulating the release button 20.
- the hinge 60 if included, provides additional flexibility to the engaging end of the sliding element 12.
- the slideable spacer 38 can include a lock release 62.
- the lock release 62 is located in the spacer aperture 58.
- the locking aperture 56 is allowed to interface with and engage the locking post 30, thereby locking the slideable element 12.
- FIG. 3 Also illustrated in FIG. 3 (using phantom lines), is a configuration in which the lock release 62 is not located in the spacer aperture 58.
- the lock release 62 is offset from the spacer aperture 58 and interferes with the locking post 30 by preventing the locking post 30 from interfacing with and engaging the locking aperture 56.
- the lock release 62 thereby prevents the card 12 from being locked into position.
- the lock release 62 can release the card 12 from a locked position by lifting the end of the card 12 to disengage the locking aperture 56 from the locking post 30.
- the lock release 62 is in this orientation, the sliding element 12 is not attached to the base 16 because the locking aperture 56 is prevented from engaging, or is disengaged from, the locking post 30.
- a biasing element 64 is visible in FIG. 4.
- the biasing element 64 provides a means for urging the locking aperture 56 to mount the locking post 30.
- the illustrated biasing element 64 is a rib. Additional means for biasing 64 include leaf springs, dagger springs, and similar configurations that exert a compressive force on the card 12 to engage or remain engaged with the locking post 30.
- the means for biasing 64 does not have to be opposite the locking post 30. Instead, the means for biasing 64 and the locking post 30 are merely configured to cooperatively engage the locking aperture 56 of the sliding element 12.
- the release button 20 is pressed into the case 14.
- the rim 28 lifts the end of the card 12 until the locking aperture 56 is lifted over the locking post 30.
- the opposite or free end of the card 12 can be grasped and pulled to access at least the first item.
- the card 12 can continue to be fully extracted, or indexed, or otherwise metered as taught in other application filed by the present applicant.
- the locking post 30 includes an engaging edge 32 that engages the locking aperture 56 when the card 12 is fully inserted within the case 14, and holds the tray 12 to prevent outward movement until the release button 20 is pressed and the rim 28 disengages the aperture 56 from the post 30.
- the card 12 can be slid inwardly and returned within the sleeve 14. Reinserting the card 12, the sloping upper face 66 of the post 30 lifts and urges the engaging end of the card 12, optionally along the hinge 60, if included, so the aperture 56 can receivingly mount the post 30 as the card 12 is fully reinserted in the case 14. When fully inserted, the aperture 56 substantially surrounds and engages the post 30.
- the illustrated embodiments and description presented above include the advantages of a lockable container 10.
- the locking feature isn't desired.
- a lockable container 10 holds medication in blister packs there may not be children in the vicinity to access the lockable container 10.
- children may be in the vicinity of the lockable container 10 only during limited times. In these circumstances it may be desirable to deactivate the locking or child resistance features so that the user, presumably an adult who owns the lockable container 10 and its contents or for whom the contents are intended, can access the contents without repeatedly manipulating the child-resistant features.
- the slideable spacer 38 can be manipulated from the access port 68 to activate or deactivate the internal locking mechanisms. With a small tool such as a paper clip, pen, or similar protruding element, the user can engage the slideable spacer 38 through the access port 68. By sliding the slideable spacer 38 away from the locking post 30 and aligning the slideable spacer 38 with the spacer aperture 58, the case 14 is lockable because the locking aperture 56 of the sliding element 12 is not prohibited from engaging the locking post 30. To disengage the locking feature of the container 10, the slideable spacer 38 can be moved into a position close to the locking post 30, and not aligned with the spacer aperture 58, as illustrated in FIG. 6 with phantom lines. In this position, the case 14 is not lockable because the locking aperture 56 of the sliding element 12 is prohibited from engaging the locking post 30.
- FIG. 4 best illustrates a sliding element 12 being withdrawn or reinserted into an assembled case 14. After removing an item from the tray or card 12, the sliding element 12 is fully reinserted, whether the internal locking mechanisms are activated or deactivated, and the end cap 42 can be closed.
- FIGS. 5 and 6 there is shown an alternative embodiment of a lockable package 10, according to the present disclosure. Elements present in this illustrated embodiment that are substantially similar to the elements present in the embodiments illustrated in FIGS. 1-4, have the same element numbers and so unnecessary repetition of the teaching is avoided.
- the slideable locking post 70 provides the same result as described above, but functions differently by providing an engaging element that can be selectively positioned, depending on whether the user desires an activated or deactivated locking mechanism.
- the sliding element 12 is engaged and received within the selectively lockable case 14.
- the locking post 70 is not aligned with the locking aperture 56, as illustrated in FIG. 6 with phantom lines, the sliding element 12 is neither engaged nor secured within the selectively lockable case 14.
- FIGS. 7-10 illustrate an alternative embodiment of the present disclosure. This embodiment will be described with collective reference to FIGS. 7-10, though it should be appreciated that FIG. 8A illustrates this embodiment with a first means for attaching 40, and FIG. 8B illustrates the embodiment with a second means for attaching 40. To avoid unnecessary repetition, where substantially similar elements have been described above, the same numerals are used in conjunction with the similar elements in the illustrated embodiments.
- a slideable composite locking mechanism 72 includes a locking post 74 and a biasing element 76.
- the top 18 includes the additional elements of a lock signal 78, while the base 16 includes the additional elements of a support rib 80 and a receiving element 82.
- the sliding element 12 includes the additional element of a receiving aperture 84.
- FIGS. 8A and 8B operation of the locking mechanism 72 is illustrated.
- the sliding element 12 is illustrated in a partially inserted configuration.
- the locking aperture 56 has not yet engaged the locking post 74.
- the locking aperture 56 will eventually engage the locking post 74.
- the slideable element 12 will contact the biasing element 76.
- the biasing element 76 will urge the slideable element 12, or a portion thereof, toward the locking post.
- the biasing element 76 will hold the locking aperture 56 in a locked position whereat the locking aperture 56 engages the locking post 74, as illustrated in FIG. 8B.
- FIG. 8B the sliding element 12 has been locked into position.
- the release button 20 can be manipulated in a manner substantially similar to that explained above with respect to FIGS. 1-6.
- the locking feature of the package 10 can be selectively deactivated.
- the locking mechanism 72 is moved into the position illustrated in FIG. 8A and illustrated in phantom lines in FIG. 8B. In this position, the locking aperture 56 can no longer be engaged by the locking post 74. Therefore, the slideable element 12 can be translated into and out of the case 14 as desired without any manipulation of the release button 20.
- the slideable locking mechanism 72 is accessible through the access port 68, and can be slid between activated and deactivated positions.
- the mechanism 72 is positioned so that the locking aperture 56 is mounted to the locking post 74 and held in that position by a biasing element 76, here illustrated as a spring. As shown in FIG.
