Abstract:
A child proof container or article dispenser resistant to accidental opening is provided. The container is comprised of an outer housing and a sliding tray or reservoir included in the housing and locking means for locking the tray in a first position in the housing. Guide means control the sliding movement of the tray. The locking means comprises a locking member of the sliding tray disposed for locking reception in a locking member receiving port of the housing upon sliding of the reservoir to the first position. The locking member is resiliently urged towards the receiving port. The receiving port preferably comprises an extended sleeve sized to preclude deflection of the locking member by the finger of a child. Simultaneous deflection of the locking member for the locking member receiving port and operation of a tray handle allows unlocking of the container and movement of the tray to a second position for dispensing of articles contained therein.
