Abstract:
A child-resistant container for holding at least one item, the container comprising:a housing having upper and lower walls and at least one open side between the upper and lower walls; a tray adapted for holding at least one item, the tray being pivotably connected to the housing at a pivot joint for movement between a first position in which the tray is in the housing for preventing access to the at least one item and a second position in which the tray extends through the at least one open side of the housing for exposing the at least one item; a first locking mechanism comprising a flexible member connected to the tray, the flexible member being biased into engagement with the housing when the tray is in the first position; and a second locking mechanism separate from the first locking mechanism and engageable with the tray when the tray is in the first position; wherein the tray is secured in the first position by the first locking mechanism and the second locking mechanism and is angularly displaceable from the first position to the second position upon the simultaneous application of a first force to the first locking mechanism, a second force to the second locking mechanism and a torque to the tray.
