Package with lockable lid
A package having a tray and a lockable lid is disclosed herein. The lid may be removed by applying a user input so that, for example, the package is child resistant. The lid is movable between a closed position and an open position. The package may include grinders to grind contents in the package.
1. A package, comprising:
a container, a tray, and a lid, wherein the tray is removably attachable to the container to define a first product storage region and the lid is removably attachable to the tray to form a second product storage region;
wherein the tray is movable by a user input between an open container position in which the tray is at least partially removed from the container and a closed container position in which the tray is blocking access to the first product storage region;
wherein the tray is lockably attachable to the container in a locked position to prevent rotation of the tray relative to the container in at least one rotational direction, and wherein the tray is selectively movable by a user input in an axial direction transverse to the at least one rotation direction between the locked position and a released position;
wherein the tray is free to rotate in the at least one rotational direction in the released position; and
wherein the lid is movable relative to the tray between a closed lid position in which the lid substantially blocks access to the second product storage region and an open lid position in which the second product storage region is accessible by a user.
2. The package of claim 1 , wherein the tray is lockably attachable to the container by one or more closure mechanisms that each include a tray projection and a cooperating container projection.
3. The package of claim 2 , wherein at least one of the one or more closure mechanisms includes a bayonet and a cooperating lug.
4. The package of claim 3 , wherein the bayonet is coupled to the container.
5. The package of claim 3 , wherein the cooperating lug is coupled to the tray.
6. The package of claim 3 , wherein the bayonet includes a leading tip having an angled surface oppositely disposed a blunt surface, wherein the angled surface allows rotation of the cooperating lug into the bayonet and the blunt surface inhibits rotation of the cooperating lug out of the bayonet in the locked position.
7. The package of claim 6 , wherein the container includes an upper side wall that forms an angled interface with a lower side wall of the tray, and wherein the angled interface biases the tray away from the container in a first direction.
8. The package of claim 7 , wherein the bias of the angled interface of the container upper side wall and the tray lower side wall may be overcome by a user push input, wherein the user push input may move the tray lower side wall relative to the container upper side wall from the locked position to the released position in which the cooperating lug may be rotated out of the bayonet.
9. The package of claim 3 , wherein the cooperating lug in the container is formed adjacent a slot in the tray.
10. The package of claim 2 , wherein the one or more closure mechanisms includes at least three closure mechanisms.
11. The package of claim 10 , wherein the at least three closure mechanisms each include a bayonet and a cooperating lug.
12. A package, comprising:
a container, a tray, and a lid, wherein the tray is removably attachable to the container to define a first product storage region and the lid is removably attachable to the tray to form a second product storage region;
wherein the tray is movable by a user input between an open container position in which the tray is at least partially removed from the container and a closed container position in which the tray is blocking access to the first product storage region;
wherein the tray is lockably attachable to the container in a locked position to prevent rotation of the tray relative to the container in at least one rotational direction, and wherein the tray is selectively movable by a user input in an axial direction transverse to the at least one rotation direction between the locked position and a released position;
wherein the tray is free to rotate in the at least one rotational direction in the released position;
wherein the lid is movable relative to the tray between a closed lid position in which the lid substantially blocks access to the second product storage region and an open lid position in which the second product storage region is accessible by a user; and
wherein the lid includes a plurality of downwardly projecting upper grinders and the tray includes a plurality of upwardly projecting lower grinders, wherein the upper grinders and lower grinders are arranged to pass without contact when the lid is rotated relative to the tray when the lid and tray are in the closed lid position.
13. The package of claim 12 , wherein the lid includes a radially inwardly projecting bead configured to selectively removably attach to a corresponding radially outwardly projecting bead on a tray upper side wall.
14. The package of claim 12 , wherein the lid and tray are configured to be removable by a user lid removal input, wherein the tray and container are configured to be removable by a user container removal input, and wherein the lid and tray are configured to remain attached through the user container removal input.
15. The package of claim 14 , wherein the container removal input includes a rotational movement of the tray relative to the container in a rotational direction and an axial movement of the tray relative to the container in a first axial direction transverse to the rotational direction.
16. The package of claim 15 , wherein the user lid removal input includes a movement of the lid relative to the tray in a second axial direction opposite the first axial direction.
17. A package, comprising:
a container and a lid, wherein the lid is removably attachable to the container to form a product storage region;
wherein the lid is movable by a user input between an open container position in which the lid is at least partially removed from the container and a closed container position in which the lid is blocking access to the product storage region;
wherein the lid is lockably attachable to the container in a locked position to prevent rotation of the lid relative to the container in at least one rotational direction, and wherein the lid is selectively movable by a user input in an axial direction transverse to the at least one rotation direction between the locked position and a released position;
wherein the lid is free to rotate in the at least one rotational direction in the released position;
wherein the lid and container have a substantially uniform and equal outer perimeter and a substantially uniform height around the outer perimeter circumference;
wherein the lid is lockably attachable to the container by one or more closure mechanisms that each include a lid projection and a cooperating container projection;
wherein a bayonet is coupled to the container;
wherein a cooperating lug is coupled to the lid;
wherein the bayonet includes a leading tip having an angled surface oppositely disposed a blunt surface, wherein the angled surface allows rotation of the cooperating lug into the bayonet and the blunt surface inhibits rotation of the cooperating lug out of the bayonet in the locked position;
wherein the container includes an upper side wall that forms an angled interface with a lower side wall of the lid, and wherein the angled interface biases the lid away from the container in a first direction;
wherein the bias of the angled interface of the container upper side wall and the lid lower side wall may be overcome by a user push input, wherein the user push input may move the lid lower side wall relative to the container upper side wall from the locked position to the released position in which the cooperating lug may be rotated out of the bayonet;
wherein the lid includes a plurality of downwardly projecting upper grinders and the container includes a plurality of upwardly projecting lower grinders, wherein the upper grinders and lower grinders are arranged to pass without contact when the lid is rotated relative to the container when the lid and tray are in the closed container position.
