  • Patent number: 11738918
    Abstract: The present invention is a scalable, lockable container designed to prevent children from accessing the contents in the container. It includes an inner tray that is slidably mounted within an outer sleeve in releasable locking engagement. The lock mechanism includes a lock tab carried at one end of the inner tray that engages an engagement edge formed inside the outer sleeve. When so engaged, the inner tray is locked within the outer sleeve and cannot be removed from the outer sleeve. The lock tab is released by applying pressure to the outer sleeve, adjacent the lock tab, to disengage the lock tab from the engagement edge in the outer sleeve. This allows the lock tab to move past the outer sleeve engagement edge so the inner tray can be withdrawn from the outer sleeve, providing access to the contents of the box.
