Abstract

The technology disclosed herein includes a storage apparatus comprising an inner sleeve, including a first tab including memory-inducing laminated material, a second tab including memory-inducing laminated material, and an inner sleeve storage compartment; and an outer sleeve encompassing the inner sleeve when the storage apparatus is locked, and including a first aperture for receiving the first tab in a first locking mechanism, and a second aperture for receiving the second tab in a second locking mechanism.

Claims (33)

1. A storage apparatus comprising:

an inner sleeve, including:

a first tab including memory-inducing laminated material;

a second tab including memory-inducing laminated material, wherein the first tab and the second tab are located proximate to each other and fold against a first panel of the inner sleeve wherein the second tab is configured to locate between the first tab and the first panel of the inner sleeve; and

an inner sleeve storage compartment; and

an outer sleeve to receive the inner sleeve in an open outer sleeve compartment inside the outer sleeve, the open outer sleeve compartment adjacent to a closed outer sleeve compartment inside the outer sleeve, the outer sleeve including:

a first aperture for receiving the first tab in the closed outer sleeve compartment which together form a first internal locking mechanism; and

a second aperture for receiving the second tab in the closed outer sleeve compartment which together form a second internal locking mechanism.

2. The storage apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the outer sleeve further comprises a third aperture for accessing the first locking mechanism.

3. The storage apparatus of claim 1 , further comprising:

a glue lap layer in the inner sleeve.

4. The storage apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the storage apparatus is relockable.

5. The storage apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the second locking mechanism is not accessible from an exterior surface of the storage apparatus.

6. The storage apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the first tab and the second tab fold against at least one layer of laminated material.

7. The storage apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the inner sleeve storage compartment is configured to receive a plurality of configurable inserts to hold items of predetermined sizes.

8. The storage apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the inner sleeve storage compartment includes a folding lid.

9. The storage apparatus of claim 8 , wherein the folding lid folds into an inner sleeve end compartment in the inner sleeve storage compartment.

10. A child-resistant carton, comprising:

an inner sleeve including:

a first tab including memory-inducing laminated material;

a second tab including memory-inducing laminated material;

a folding lid; and

an inner sleeve storage compartment; and

an outer sleeve to receive the inner sleeve in an open outer sleeve compartment inside the outer sleeve, the open outer sleeve compartment adjacent to a closed outer sleeve compartment inside the outer sleeve, the outer sleeve including:

a first aperture for receiving the first tab which together form a first internal locking mechanism;

a second aperture for receiving the second tab which together form a second internal locking mechanism, wherein the first tab and the second tab fold against a first panel of the inner sleeve and wherein the second tab locates between the first tab and the first panel of the inner sleeve; and

a third aperture for accessing the first internal locking mechanism.

11. The child-resistant carton of claim 10 , further comprising:

an inner sleeve end compartment formed from the folding lid.

12. The child-resistant carton of claim 10 , further comprising:

a perforated pull tab located on the inner sleeve and configured to tear off the inner sleeve.

13. The child-resistant carton of claim 10 , further comprising:

a flap located on the outer sleeve to depress through the third aperture into the closed outer sleeve compartment for access to the first internal locking mechanism.
