Publication number: 20220315272Abstract: A latchable package comprises: a structure; and a support for supporting one or more items, the support being movable in an opening direction between a first position in which the structure blocks access to the one or more items and a second position in which the one or more items are accessibly clear of the structure. The structure and support comprise complementary latch members configured to engage when the support is arranged in the first position to prevent movement of the support in the opening direction. The latch member of the support is moveable in a latching direction transverse to the opening direction to engage with the latch member of the structure.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 17, 2020Publication date: October 6, 2022Inventor: Dane Whitehurst

Publication number: 20210347520Abstract: A package including a support for supporting items, a primary structure for selectively blocking access to the items, and a secondary structure for covering at least some of the primary structure. The support is movable from a first position, whereat the primary structure blocks access to the items, to a second position, whereat the items are accessible. The support and primary structures comprise latch features designed to engage when the support and primary structures are in the first position to prevent movement of the support in the opening direction, and to disengage on moving at least one latch feature in an unlatching direction to accommodate movement of the support from the first position. The secondary structure comprises a disengagement region that cooperates with the latch features when the support and primary structure are in the first position to disengage the latch features.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 23, 2021Publication date: November 11, 2021Inventor: Dane Whitehurst
