  • Publication number: 20160083157
    Abstract: A lockable cap, is a security feature for a medical prescription bottle. There is a dial locking mechanism that is attached to the cap. The dial locking mechanism and the cap can be attached or removed from the bottle only when the user has the correct combination on the dial lock. When the combination is incorrect a mechanism, including a dog plate within a housing, is disengaged and the inner cap cannot be removed from the bottle. The housing has pieces that snap together for a tamper proof connection between the inner components and the housing. The dog plate has a flat circular set of gear teeth, each of which allows for a single point of contact to exert enough tension to apply and remove the cap. These teeth are set away from a side wall with a gap that allows the dog plate to spin freely within the housing. Above the dog plate is the dial lock including a set of dial lock wheels containing both numeric cogs and standard cams each having one flat secant section.
