Abstract: The present invention is directed toward a child resistant locking slide box that is opened by deforming a locking tab on the slide box drawer that positively engages the surrounding cover. There are tracks on the inside surfaces of the cover side walls that positively engage and slide along tracks positioned on the outside surfaces of the drawer side walls. The engagement of the cover and draw tracks allow only for the respective lateral movement of the cover across the drawer. The lateral movement of the cover allowed by the tracks is restricted in one direction by the cover end tabs, and in the other direction by the drawer locking tab.The drawer locking tab has a step that overlaps the cover surface. To open the slide box the cover tab must first be deformed backward, removing the step from above the cover, and then downward so that the whole locking tab is beneath the cover. Once the draw tab is below the cover, the drawer can be pushed past the cover, exposing the contents of the drawer.

Vertical and horizontal rails are provided on the interior of the sidewalls of the cover which cooperate with laterally extending lugs on the sidewalls of the tray to preclude movement of the tray relative to the cover unless the cover is bowed by utilizing a vertical force to it to flare the vertical rails away from the lugs, enabling the tray to slide relative to the cover without interference of the lugs with the vertical rails. The horizontal rails contact the lugs and retard sliding movement of the tray relative to the cover when the box is opened to keep the tray and cover assembled. Lateral flanges are also provided on the cover for frictional engagement with the bottom of a track on the tray to impede flexing of the cover unless a substantial force is applied to the cover.

The hinged lid of the tape recorder cassette container is kept somewhat depressed by the hook-like broadened end section which end section simultaneously engages over the adjacent side wall of the contained wherewith the container of the cassette and the casing are interlocked. In order to unlock the connection the interconnection between the locking bodies and the base disk resting against the outside of the casing is ruptured by means of a special tool.

Abstract: A device to render articles such as disposable lighters resistant to unauthorized use including a body which slidably receives the lighter. In the normal protected position, the lighter is within the housing and is restricted from extension from the body to a use-position by a locking pin carried on a rocker arm. The rocker arm controls the position of the locking pin and may not be released unless the lighter is inverted releasing a tumbler freeing the rocker arm and thus permitting depression of the rocker arm to disengage the locking pin from the lighter. In the disengaged position, the user may slide the lighter relative to the sleeve to a use-position in which the lighter may be actuated. The safety device may be applied to other articles to make them child-resistant such as medicine containers.

Abstract: A child resistant box which is composed of a base, a lid and a hinge connecting the base and lid together.
