  • Publication number: 20230406580
    Abstract: A locking assembly for releasably-locking a lid to a container so that the lid covers an opening of the container, the locking assembly including: shaped portions disposed on the lid and container that are configured to allow slidable engagement of the lid relative to the container along a movement axis between a first configuration in which the lid covers the opening in to a second configuration in which the lid does not cover the opening; a locking nub disposed on a wall of the container; a nub receiving portion disposed on the lid; and wherein when the lid and container are slidably engaged together in the first configuration, the locking nub disposed on the container is received within the nub receiving portion disposed on the lid so as to restrict sliding movement of the lid relative to the container along the movement axis from the first configuration in to the second configuration, and, wherein the wall of the container is inwardly depressible so as to move the locking nub outwardly of the nub receivin

  • Publication number: 20210253316
    Abstract: A locking assembly for releasably-locking a lid to a container, the locking assembly including: a locking nub disposed on the lid; and a lock maze disposed on the container; wherein, the lid is configured for arrangement in to a closed configuration with the container so as to releasably lock the lid to the container and to allow the lid to be coaxially rotatable relative to a neck the container between at least one of a first rotational position in which a barrier disposed on the container is configured for abutting against the locking nub of the lid so as to restrict movement of the lid away from the container, and, a second rotational position in which the locking nub of the lid is able to be maneuvered through an opening in the barrier and along a release pathway within the lock maze to release the lid from container.
