  • Publication number: 20240158138
    Abstract: A container and methods of manufacturing and operating the same are provided where the container has a cap that is removable yet childproof. The cap is positioned in a tubular body, and the cap has a generally smooth or continuous upper surface to reduce or eliminate surfaces or edges for a child to grasp. To operate the cap, a disc in the center of the cap is pushed below a lip, and a user grasps the lip to pull the cap from the tubular body. The force needed to press the disc away from the lip is low enough for an adult but too high for a child. Moreover, the cap forms an interference fit with the tubular body with enough friction force to prevent the cap from falling out of the tubular body but is low enough that the cap can be pulled from the tubular body.

  • Publication number: 20160368429
    Abstract: Systems for mounting an object within a vehicle are disclosed. One system includes a housing, a pair of rotatable objects, a pair of locking elements, and at least one handle. Each rotatable object is at least partially received within a respective end of the housing. Each locking element is movable within the housing between a locked position in which the locking element exerts a locking force against a respective rotatable object, and an unlocked position in which the locking element does not exert the locking force against the respective rotatable object. The handle extends from the housing. The handle is coupled to one or both of the locking elements. The handle is configured to be actuated to move the one or both of the locking elements between the locked and unlocked positions.
