Patent number: 7494012Abstract: A lockable pill container includes a main body defining a plurality of compartments, and a plurality of lid members that are moveable relative to the compartments between a closed position at least partially covering an opening into the compartments and an open position. Each lid member includes a first engagement member that extends into the main body when the lid member is in the closed position. The container also includes an elongate second engagement member configured to move between a first position engaging the first engagement members and a second position disengaged from the first engagement members. A biasing member is positioned between a first end of the second engagement member and the main body to provide a biasing force that biases the second engagement member into the first position. The second engagement member also includes a contact surface at a second end thereof for engagement by a user to move the second locking member against the biasing force.Type: GrantFiled: February 25, 2005Date of Patent: February 24, 2009Assignee: Apothecary Products, Inc.Inventors: Robert N.

The container also includes an inner slide that is a snug sliding fit within the outer sleeve and has a base, first and second opposing side walls and first and second opposing end walls. The base, the side walls and the end walls define an interior space of the inner slide. An interior wall of the inner slide divides the interior space of the inner slide into first and second compartments. A panel that is hingedly attached to the interior wall and is movable between an open position, in which the interior space of the first compartment is exposed, and a closed position, in which the interior space of the first compartment is concealed.Type: GrantFiled: May 25, 2005Date of Patent: December 16, 2008Inventors: Donald T.

Patent number: 7458241Abstract: A theft deterrent device includes first and second jaws pivotally connected to one another and pivotally movable between open and closed positions. The jaws form in the closed position an interior chamber and a through passage for receiving therethrough a portion of an article of merchandise. A lock slide is slidable within the interior chamber between locked and unlocked positions and lockable by a lock in the locked position to secure the first and second jaws together in the closed position. The lock slide includes lock hooks which lockably engage lock hooks of the second jaw. The lock slide includes locking and unlocking ledges which a resilient, magnetically attractable lock finger of the lock respectively engages in the locked and unlocked positions. An externally accessible thumb grip operatively engages the lock slide to move it between the locked and unlocked positions. An EAS tag is disposed within the device.Type: GrantFiled: September 10, 2007Date of Patent: December 2, 2008Assignee: Checkpoint Systems, Inc.Inventor: Dennis D. Belden, Jr.

Publication number: 20080283434Abstract: A lockable package can include a case and an insert. The case and insert can collectively include engagement and receiving mechanisms to provide the lockable package with a locking feature. When the engagement and receiving mechanisms are engaged, the insert can be substantially immobilized, and access to the items stored in or on the insert can thereby be limited. The case can include a lock deactivation feature for disabling the locking feature of the lockable package. The receiving or engagement mechanisms can be included on a slideable insert for moving the mechanisms in and out of a functioning position. If the mechanisms are out of position, then the receiving and engagement mechanisms can not engage, thereby preventing the insert from being locked into the case.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 15, 2008Publication date: November 20, 2008Inventor: John A.

Publication number: 20080257773Abstract: An insert package includes an insert and a container. The container is formed by assembling an upper housing member and a lower housing member, thereby creating a void bound by side walls and a closed end. The container includes rails or channels, and an open end with an engageable cover. When the cover is open, the open end provides access to the void. An insert can be passed into container through the open end. The insert is a package for storing and dispensing items, such as a blister card. The insert includes wings and the wings can include lugs or detents. The wings are designed to interface with the rails, to align the insert with the container during storage and dispensing of the items. A retainer in the container, and a retainer receiver on the insert (or vice versa) can selectively immobilize the insert. A release can disengage the insert and allow slideable movement of the insert into and out of the container.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 3, 2008Publication date: October 23, 2008Inventor: John A.
