         [0003]    b. Description of Related Art 
         [0004]    The following patents are representative of the field pertaining to the present invention: 
         [0005]    U.S. Pat. No. 6,964,336 B2 to John E. Harrold describes a child resistant container for stick applicators is described that is directed to keeping children out of the container prior to use, and to secure the container and its contents after use. In one embodiment, the container includes a combination cap and plug. The plug has a first and second position relative to the cap, and the cap is not removable when the plug is in its first position and pulled, and is removable when the plug is in its second position and pulled. In another embodiment, a plug cap cannot be removed from the container unless a bottom cap is rotated to go radial position and pushed in. When it is pushed into the tube container, the applicator functions as a push rod to open the top cap. The used applicator may be reinserted in an altered orientation, e.g., shortened or turned upside down and inserted, with the bottom cap pushed in, and the top cap reinserted into the top, access to the used applicator is inhibited. 
         [0006]    U.S. Pat. No. 6,880,729 B2 to Gene Stull et al describes a secure lock for container packaging with a flexible retaining lip of various formations for sealing against material product flow distributions with the secure seal preventing tampering of, for example, a flexible walled container of material such as a medication, food stuff or art material. A resistant secure lock is provided which in one embodiment meets Federal Child Safety Standards providing a seal of flexible locking and unlocking which is resistant to a child&#39;s tampering. In one embodiment, a tamper resistant seal is formed for a squeezable container cap with a flexible hinging structure connecting a cap to a cap receptor base structure of a container to prevent a material product such as medicine from dispensing without disengaging the seal selectively to allow access to an aperture, yet with a directed flexion of a lip or head, the seal simply unsnaps from a tamper resistant state to release the flow of product through an aperture from a container. 
         [0007]    U.S. Pat. No. 6,032,811 to Anthony Marconi describes a child resistant cap assembly that includes an outer cap member having a top wall and a substantially cylindrical side wall depending therefrom. On the exterior surface of the top wall is a key slot and an alignment aperture. An inner cap member for threadedly engaging a container neck is concentrically received within said outer cap member has a mark and key slot on its top wall. The outer cap member normally rotates independently of the inner cap member. When the outer cap member&#39;s alignment aperture registers with the mark on the inner cap member, the key slots are aligned allowing a key member to be inserted therethrough. Accordingly, the inserted key member is then rotated to simultaneously rotate the inner and outer cap. The top wall of the outer cap member also includes means for removably retaining the key thereon. 
         [0008]    U.S. Pat. No. 6,029,835 to Stuart DeJonge describes a child resistant safety cap for containers that includes an outer cap, an inner cap, at least one retractable-extendable key arm and a biasing spring. The outer cap has a top and a sidewall with a plurality of openings for retraction and extension of the key arms therethrough, and the top has an engaging mechanism for engaging and disengaging the key arms. The inner cap is contained within the outer cap, has a sidewall and a top, with a slide mechanism for slideably attaching a plurality key of arms. The inner cap is a predetermined height less than the inside vertically slidable within the outer cap. The inner cap has a first vertical position away from the top of the outer cap wherein said engaging mechanism of the outer cap and the connecting mechanism of the plurality of key arms are disengaged, and the inner cap has a second vertical position, toward the top of the outer cap wherein the engaging mechanism and the connecting mechanism are engaged. The inner cap also has threading on its inside for screwing onto and off a threaded container. 
         [0009]    U.S. Pat. No. 5,749,484 to Stanley D. Trout describes a child-resistant, tamper-evident closure for a container having an externally threaded neck finish includes a combination of inner and outer caps. The inner cap includes a tamper-evident band which is connected to the inner cap by frangible elements. The inner cap includes folded ratchet-like tabs which are locked in position behind an annular bead. The tabs are arranged so as to engage an annular lip on the neck finish. The outer cap snaps over the inner cap and includes a series of ratchet-like lugs which are directed toward the inner cap. The top surface of the inner cap includes a series of cooperating ratchet-like lugs. So long as a downward force is not excreted on the outer cap, the child-resistant arrangement permits the outer cap to turn relative to the inner cap in a counterclockwise direction. However, when a sufficient downward force is applied, the lugs of the outer cap are drawn into abutment with the cooperating lugs of the inner cap and the outer cap is used to remove the inner cap. In the clockwise direction, the lugs cooperate such that turning of the outer cap advances the inner cap into threaded engagement. In another embodiment, removal of the inner cap from the neck fish is achieved by ovalizing the outer cap so as to bring into engagement ribs on the inner cap with ribs on the inside surface of the sidewall of the outer cap. 
         [0010]    U.S. Pat. No. 5,732,836 to Allan Barker et al. describes a closure for a container, including means for counting and indicating the number of times the closure has undergone a cycle of closing and opening the container, and further including means for incorporating the closure into means for resisting the opening of the container by a child. In a preferred embodiment, the closure includes an outer cover having an indicator symbol window an indicator symbol carrier rotatably mounted in the outer cover with indicator symbols visible through the indicator window, tooth and pawl means for allowing one-way rotation of the outer cover relative to the indicator symbol carrier to allow the advancement of the window and an audible click as the pawl passes over a tooth to confirm proper advancement, lost motion means for positively assuring the advancement of the window by one and only one indicator symbol upon each cycle, and a closure mechanism requiring the application of an axial force urging the closure toward the container while applying a rotational force to disengage the closure from the container. 
         [0011]    U.S. Pat. No. 5,509,550 to Stuart DeJonge describes the child resistant cap device for containers with a threaded neck openings. It includes an inner cap, an outer cap and a key bar. The inner cap has a top and a sidewall having threads on its inside. The sidewall has on its outside, one of a male attaching mechanism and a female attaching mechanism for receiving and attaching the outer cap onto the inner cap so as to be rotatably fixed thereon. The top of the inner cap has a release key engagement on its outside, and the outside of the inner cap also has one way ratchets or ratchet blocks to permit engagement of the outer cap for rotating thereon, in a single, closing direction and preventing engagement of them for rotating them in a single, opposite, opening direction. The outer cap has a top and a sidewall having on its inside the other of a male attaching mechanism and a female attaching mechanism. The top of the outer cap has a release key bar with a key which is pivotable for 180° rotation so as to be engageable with the key arrangement of the inner cap so as to permit opening of the inner cap by rotation of the outer cap when the release key is engaged in the release key engagement. 
         [0012]    U.S. Pat. No. 5,381,912 to Linda A. Walker describes an improved child-resistant package allowing improved access and closure by the user is provided. The improved package is of the press-and-turn type and features ramped gripping portions on the perimeter of the side of the press-and-turn cap and on the bottle. 
         [0013]    U.S. Pat. No. 4,854,459 to Antonia DeJonge describes the present invention involves a container and cap which is generally childproof and may be rendered non-childproof permanently. The invention involves a container having a cylindrical neck at the top and threads molded about the exterior of the neck as well as an inner cap and outer cap. The inner cap has a top and a cylindrical side wall with threads molded on the inside of the side wall so as to mate with the threads of the container. The top or side of the inner cap has ratchet type segments on its outside and the outer cap has ratchet type segments on the inside of its top or side. The outer cap has a cylindrical side wall and is usually freely rotatable about the inner cap so as to be childproof. When in the childproof configuration as described, downward pressure is required by the user so as to engage the two ratchet type segments and thereby engage the two caps to permit opening. Further, the outer cap has an opening in its side wall at a lever near the bottom of the side wall of the inner cap and also has integrally attached thereto a flexible connector and stop. The flexible connector and stop are located so as to permit insertion of the stop into the opening so as to extend beyond the opening and push up the inner cap so as to permanently lock it into a position wherein the inner cap and outer cap ratchet type segments are permanently engaged. This renders the cap permanently non-childproof. 
         [0014]    U.S. Pat. No. 4,555,035 to Eugene Davis describes a closure for a container. The closure is provided with a tunnel member into which any appropriate implement such as the handle of a teaspoon can be inserted when it is desired to manipulate the closure e.g. for opening. The provision of the tunnel member is of great assistance to people lacking in manual dexterity. 
         [0015]    U.S. Pat. No. 4,333,589 to Randall Bush describes a child-resistant overcap for a pressurized container, such as an aerosol can, having a valve with an axially protruding discharge nozzle which must be depressed to actuate the valve for discharging the contents of the container. The overcap includes a valve guard moveable between an outer position in which a portion of the guard overlies the nozzle for preventing actuation thereof and an inner position in which the nozzle can be depressed. The overcap includes a resilient portion of the guard which biases the guard toward outer position and which must be overcome in order to move the guard to inner position and which returns the guard to outer position when the guard is released. 
         [0016]    U.S. Pat. No. 4,325,497 to Ronald Ewald describes a child resistant spray through cover assembly for aerosol and similar containers. The cover assembly is adapted to be applied to a container having a conventional actuator button with a discharge outlet in which the actuator button discharges when it is moved axially toward the container. The cover assembly includes a housing which is adapted to fit over the actuator button and to be securely attached to the container. An opening is formed in the housing to allow the passage of spray discharge through the discharge outlet of the actuator button. A moveable flap is mounted on the housing and extends over the actuator button. The flap is moveable upon the application of force thereto by a finger of a user between a first position in which it is located out of actuating engagement with the actuator button and a second position in which it is in actuating engagement with the actuator button. A locking mechanism is provided to retain the flap in its first position. A finger engaging mechanism is provided for releasing the locking mechanism to permit the flap to be moved to its second position. A mechanism is provided on the flap for depressing the actuator button when the flap is moved to its second position. A spring arrangement is provided to return the flap to its first position and the locking mechanism to locking engagement with the flap when the application of force to the flap is discontinued so that the child resistant features of the cover assembly are automatically restored after the use and without any active participation of the user. 
         [0017]    U.S. Pat. No. 3,831,804 to John Richard Focht describes an aerosol safety cap for an aerosol container including inner and outer telescoping members. The outer member includes dependant resilient locking means which snap under the interior of the annular bead of the mounting cup of the aerosol container to affix the outer member to the container. When the inner member is telescoped into the outer member, it prevents the resilient locking means from being inwardly deflected thereby preventing removal of the cap assembly from the container. Withdrawal of the inner telescopic member permits deflection of the depending locking means to permit removal of the cap from the container. The inner membrane cannot be withdrawn without the aid of a prying instrument such as a coin. The cap can be doubly locked by rotating the inner member with respect to the outer member with an instrument such as a coin into a position in which it can be pried upwardly. 
         [0018]    Notwithstanding the prior art, the present invention is neither taught nor rendered obvious thereby.

     DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS 
       [0049]    The invention relates generally to a child resistant container that is adapted to receive and to lock in a vertical dispensing container, e.g., a sprayer container, with a top-positioned vertically reciprocating dispensing actuator. The device is particularly beneficial as a retrofit child resistant container for potentially dangerous spray products to children, e. g., medicines, oven cleaners, etc. The device has a container main body for receiving the sprayer container, a top cap to lock in the spray container and to allow the spray actuator of the spray container to rise up and down. In the up position, the spray actuator may be used to activate a spray, and in the down position, the spray actuator cannot be activated successfully. The top cap thus has a top orifice that lets the spray actuator be moved up and down through it, yet its opening is small enough to inhibit removal of the spray container itself. A cap acts as an overcap and can be removed and inverted to expose lift rod(s). The lift rod(s) are fitted upwardly on the underside of the container main body bottom in the lift rod slots that geometrically correspond to and receive the lift rod(s). When the cap is thus inverted and bottom inserted, it is merely pushed upwardly to expose the spray actuator for use. 
         [0050]    Referring now to the drawings wherein like reference numerals designate corresponding parts throughout the several views, the present invention is exemplified as follows: 
         [0051]      FIG. 1  illustrates a front view of a typical vertical nozzle spray container  10  with a push mechanism for which the present invention child resistant container with inverting cap bottom lift may be used. It includes a container housing  3  for the liquid, foam or gel content that is to be dispersed, typically materials that may be harsh or harmful to children, e.g. adult dosage medicine. The vertical nozzle spray dispenser  10  also has a cap  5  with a vertical motion, reciprocating, upwardly biased, spray actuator  7 , and a vertical nozzle  9  with vertical release orifice  11 . Although these containers are herein sometimes referred to as “spray” containers; the word “spray” is intended to be exemplary and not restricting. Any container with a push down vertical actuator may be included in the present invention devices without exceeding its scope, e.g. a vertical actuator liquid or gel release that creates a stream rather than a spray, is included. 
         [0052]      FIG. 2  shows the front, exploded, cut view of a present invention child resistant container  20  with inverting cap bottom lift with a separate main body top. There is a main housing that consists of a main body component  22  and a separate, force fit top  42 . The main body component  22  has finger grip  29 , sidewall  23 , bottom  27 , and open top area  25  and grip protrusion(s)  29 . Bottom  27  has one or more, in this drawing, three lift rod slots  31 ,  33 , and  35  for receiving corresponding lift rods on the cap. Inside sidewall  23  is a first locking mechanism  15  (a protrusion) for locking top  42 . Lock  42  has a sidewall  17  with second locking mechanism, namely, recesses  17 , to snap onto first locking mechanism  15 . The top  42  also has a top area with an orifice  47  (for nozzle  9  of container  10  of  FIG. 1  to protrude from) and a spray container actuator flange  19 , as well as optional rod-receiving orifices such as orifice  41  and  49 . 
         [0053]    Cap  52  of  FIG. 2  has a sidewall  53  and lift rods  51 ,  57 , and  59 . In this embodiment, the lift rods are guides and the sidewall acts as the direct lift rod (in some other embodiments, such as further described below, the lift rods are direct purchases and/or guides and/or keys.) 
         [0054]      FIG. 3  illustrates a front, exploded, cut view of a present invention child resistant container  60  with inverting cap bottom lift with a separate main body bottom. The cap  52  is the same as described above for  FIG. 2  and is likewise the same in FIGS.  4 , 5 , 6 , 7 , and  8  and identical parts are identically numbered and not otherwise repeatedly described below. Here the main body component  62  has an integral top  65 , grippers  69 , and an open area bottom for receiving a spray container therethrough and permanently attaching separate bottom  72  thereto after the spray container has been inserted therein. As in  FIG. 2 , the bottom  72  has lift rod rod-receiving slots  79 ,  81 , and  83 . Bottom  72  also has an open top area  79  and a stop  77  for efficient filterage to main body component  62 . The functionality of this  FIG. 3  embodiment is described in conjunction with  FIG. 5 through 8  below and is equally applicable to the other embodiments set forth in  FIGS. 2 and 4 . 
         [0055]      FIG. 4  illustrates a front, exploded, cut view of a present invention child resistant container  90  with inverting cap bottom lift with two separate main body sections  102  and  109 . In this embodiment, top  93  is an integral part of body upper section  102  and bottom  109  is an integral part of main body lower section  112 . Upper section  102  has a sidewall  91 , or nozzle orifice  97 , push rod orifice  97  and  99  and open bottom area  101 , with stop ledge  103  and first locking mechanism  105 . Lower section  112  includes lift rod slots  111 ,  113  and  115  at its bottom  109 , finger grips  119  and second locking mechanism  121  for interaction with first locking mechanism  105 . A vertical actuator dispenser container is placed n one of the upper section  102  and lower section  112  and the two sections are filtered together in ten locking mechanisms. 
         [0056]      FIG. 5  shows a fully assembled present invention child resistant container  62  with inverting cap bottom lift in a child resistant mode with a vertical nozzle push container enclosed therein, for subsequent use by a knowledgeable user. This illustrates the present invention  FIG. 3  device in its rest state as it would be when first obtained by a user. 
         [0057]      FIG. 6  illustrates a front cut view of the present invention device shown in  FIG. 5 , but with the cap removed.  FIG. 7  shows the present invention device shown in  FIG. 6 , but with the cap inverted and inserted into the bottom.  FIG. 8  shows the present invention device shown in  FIG. 7  with the inverted cap fully pushed up to cause the top of the present invention device to create relative movement between the vertical nozzle push container and its actuator to release content. The material released may be any flavorable material and the duration of release is equal to the full depression time of the user (when the user releases pressure from the inverted cap  52  at the bottom  72 ), or until the supply of material and/or propellant is exhausted. Typically, a user will be directed by the manufacturer as to depression (actuator) time to control dosage, e.g. three second burst. 
         [0058]      FIG. 9  shows an exploded cut front view of another present invention child resistant container  200  with inverting cap bottom lift features and also shows an uncut front view of a sprayer container with a top-mounted spray actuator and nozzle. These are collectively shown as loaded present invention device  200 . The present invention child resistant container includes a container main body component  210 , a separate top component  230  and a cap  240 . The container main body component  210  has an open top area  205  (for receiving the top component  230 ), a circular sidewall  203  and a bottom  207 . Although sidewall  203  has a circular top view footprint, it could take any shape that would receive a spray container. Further, it need not have the same footprint shape as a spray container. For example, a circular spray container would readily fit into a hexagonal or octagonal container main body. 
         [0059]    Container main body component  210 , in this example, has two symmetrical lift rod slots  209  and  211  in its bottom  207 . These are to receive lift rods from cap  240 , as more fully described below. Although this  FIG. 9  shows an exploded view,  FIG. 10  illustrates a fully assembled view of the same elements. Thus, in  FIG. 10 , the loaded device is also collectively shown as present invention device  200 . The following and foregoing discussion is in reference to both  FIG. 9  and  FIG. 10 . 
         [0060]    Spray container  220  has sidewall  204  and a top-positioned vertical spray actuator  208  and a vertical spray nozzle  206 . Preferably, container main body component  210  is designed to receive spray container  220  with slight friction to prevent rattling. On the inside of sidewall  203  of container main body component  210 , near the open area top  205 , is a first locking member  213  for receiving and locking top  230  thereto. Thus, spray container  220  is inserted into container main body component  210  and then top  230  is permanently attached to open area  205 . 
         [0061]    Top  230  has a sidewall  215  and a top portion  217  with spray actuator orifice  223 . Top  230  also has a flange  217  to catch vertical spray actuator  208 , and has a second locking member  219 . When top  230  is pushed into container main body component  210 , the male locking track, also known as second locking member  219 , snaps into female receiving first locking member  213  of container main body component  210  with flange  217  fitting atop sidewall  203 . Orifice  223  is large enough in its opening to permit spray nozzle  206  of spray container  220  to pass therethrough, but small enough to prohibit actuator  208  of spray container  220  from passing therethrough. As can be seen in both Figures, the spray nozzle is narrower than the main body&#39;s top orifice  223 , enabling spray actuator to function as described above, i.e., allowing the spray nozzle to pass therethrough but otherwise restraining the spray container actuator. The device is very child resistant as shown in  FIG. 10 , yet is easily activated by an adult following the steps described below. 
         [0062]    Cap  240  has a top  241  and a sidewall  243 , as shown. Cap  240  has an open bottom  249 . The inside  253  of sidewall  243  of cap  240  is, in this embodiment, adapted to fit over top  230  and to snuggly fit onto container main body component  210 . Extending downwardly from the inside of top  241  of cap  240  are two push rods  245  and  247 . These have the same footprint and are positioned to fit into push rod slots  209  and  211  when outer cap  40  is inverted and positioned as discussed below. Also, push rods  245  and  247  are of sufficient length such that when they are inserted into push rod slots  209  and  211 , they will lift up spray container  220  to expose spray nozzle  206  and depress actuator  208  for use. As mentioned above,  FIG. 9  is an exploded partially cut view and  FIG. 10  shows the same partially cut elements fully assembled. 
         [0063]      FIG. 11  shows a bottom view,  FIG. 10  shows a front view and  FIG. 13  shows a top view of the preferred present invention device illustrated in the preceding figures. Identical parts in these figures are identically numbered as presented in the previous drawings. These are also true of the subsequent  FIGS. 14 through 17  below and, hence, are not necessarily repeated further herein.  FIGS. 12 and 13  show a vertical guide track that extends vertically as first track  263  on container main body component  210  and as second track  261  on cap  240 . It is not shown, but on container main body component  210  track  263  extends vertically upwardly to the top edge of container main body component  210  so that it partially nests under track  261 . 
         [0064]      FIG. 14  shows a present invention device  200  of  FIG. 10  with the present invention container cap  240  lifted off the main body component  210  and one removing the outer cap  240  therefrom. 
         [0065]      FIG. 15  shows the present invention device of  FIGS. 10 and 14  but with the removed cap  240  now inverted and moving toward the underside (bottom  207 ) of the container main body component  210  for subsequent push up of the spray container  220 . 
         [0066]      FIG. 16  shows a cut view of the present invention device illustrated above, but partially pushed up with the push rods  245  and  247  significantly into push rod slots  207  and  209 , as shown, so as to lift the spray container  220  to expose the vertical nozzle  206  and touch the spray actuator  208  to the underside of flange  217 . 
         [0067]      FIG. 17  shows a person&#39;s hand (two fingers and a thumb shown) using the present invention device wherein full upward thumb force depresses actuator  208  to release container  220  content (as spray  250 ). After use, the cap  240  is removed from the bottom  207  and replaced on top  230  as shown in  FIGS. 10 and 12 . 
         [0068]    Although particular embodiments of the invention have been described in detail herein with reference to the accompanying drawings, it is to be understood that the invention is not limited to those particular embodiments, and that various changes and modifications may be effected therein by one skilled in the art without departing from the scope or spirit of the invention as defined in the appended claims.
