Patent ID: 8777041

Claim:
A container assembly comprising: a container having an open end and outwardly directed threads extending from an outer exterior wall surface of the container, and at least one stop located below the threads and extending upwardly relative to a satellite ring at least substantially circumnavigating the container with the at least one stop being upwardly directed relative to the satellite ring and the satellite ring extending radially outwardly beyond the outer exterior wall surface of the container above and below the satellite ring; a lid having a downwardly extending wall having inwardly directed threads configured to cooperate with the outwardly directed threads of the container to secure the lid relative to the container in a closed configuration; and a locking mechanism connected to the downwardly extending wall of the lid from above the locking mechanism and biased downwardly by a spring, said locking mechanism having at least one engagement member; wherein the container assembly has a locked and an unlocked configuration, and when in the locked configuration, the at least one engagement member is prevented from rotation in a first direction with the at least one engagement member prevented from turning by engaging the at least one stop in the container, and movement of the at least one engagement member a predetermined amount disengages the at least one engagement member from the at least one stop thereby transitioning the container assembly to an unlocked configuration to allow rotation in the first direction and the spring biasing the locking mechanism towards the locked configuration.
