- The disclosed subject matter is in the field of child-resistant lids for canned beverages and storage units.
- With the increased sale and use of cannabis related products, there is an increased need for child-resistant packaging, lids, containers, and storage units for such products. As medicinal and recreational use of cannabis and cannabis related products increases, there are more requirements that these cannabis products be stored in child-resistant containers and packaging. For example, the state of California requires that all cannabis flower, pre-rolls, and cannabis products sold within California be in child-resistant packaging. One type of product that is becoming increasingly popular are cannabis infused beverages. Accordingly, the cans for beverages containing cannabis substances should be sealed with a child-resistant lid. One efficient method of providing child-resistant cans is to secure a child-resistant lid onto a common beverage can.
- Child resistant lids are also desirable for other types of beverages that may be toxic or harmful if consumed by a child. Accordingly, a need exits for a child-resistant lid that can be secured to the existing beverage can design, so that cannabis related beverages may be child-resistant when stored.
- In view of the foregoing, an object of this specification is to disclose a lid that is child-resistant.
- It is another object of this specification to disclose a multi-use child-resistant lid that can be secured to the top of a beverage can.

In a preferred embodiment, the lid is secured to the top of a lip of a can. When the lid is secured to a can, the can becomes child-resistant, the pop-tab and mouth opening of the can are concealed, and the contents of the can become more difficult to access. - As shown in
FIG. 1 , thecover 20, which prevents access to the opening of the can, features atab 30, alock 40, and ahinge 50. Thetab 30 protrudes from thecover 20, whereby a user may grab thetab 30 to lift/open and lower/close thecover 20 over the top of the can. Thehinge 50 attaches thecover 20 to the body of the lid, so that thecover 20 may be open and closed without removing the child-resistant lid from the can. SeeFIGS. 11-14 . Thelock 40 is hingedly connected to the body and provides the child-resistant properties of the lid, wherein thelock 40, is a locking mechanism that latches over a notch on the edge of thecover 20 and can be pulled back to release the locking mechanism and allow thecover 20 to move upward. That is, in a preferred embodiment, thelock 40 provides an interference lock that secures thecover 20 in place until thelock 40 is pulled away from thecover 20. In another embodiment, thelock 40 may be a latch that features a tongue that is snapped over a groove on the top of thecover 20. In another embodiment, thelock 40 may be a latch that features a groove that is snapped over a tongue or lip on thecover 20. In each preferred embodiment, thelock 40 is aligned with the corresponding receiving locking mechanism on the cover 20 (i.e., a notch, tongue, or groove). -
FIG. 2 is a front view of one embodiment of the child-resistant lid.FIG. 30 is a side view of one embodiment of the child-resistant lid.FIG. 4 is a side view of one embodiment of the child-resistant lid.FIG. 5 is a back view of one embodiment of the child-resistant lid. Referring toFIGS. 2-5 , in one embodiment, thelock 40 is attached to the base of the lid, wherein thelock 40 can be pulled and pushed back and forth without being removed from the lid. In a preferred embodiment, the child-resistant lid may be comprised of plastic. In an alternative embodiment, the lid may be comprised of aluminum, or other rigid material known to one of skill in the art. -
FIG. 6 is a top view of one embodiment of the child-resistant lid.FIG. 7 is a bottom view of one embodiment of the child-resistant lid. Referring toFIG. 7 , the inside of the base 10 may feature a snap-fit mechanism that is defined by an annular crevice with a protrudingledge 60, or protrudingledges 60, that form a snap-fit over the lip edge of the top rim of a can whenever the lip of the can is inserted into the annular crevice. This feature of the lid allows the lid to be snapped in place and secured over the top of a can to form a child-resistant seal. See alsoFIGS. 9 & 10 . This allows the lid to be snapped in place and secured over the top rim of a can once the rim is inserted into the annular crevice. -
FIG. 8 is a perspective view of one embodiment of the child-resistant lid.FIG. 9 is a bottom perspective view of one embodiment of the child-resistant lid.FIG. 10 is a bottom perspective view of one embodiment of the child-resistant lid.FIG. 11 is an environmental view of one embodiment of the child-resistant lid. - Referring to
FIGS. 9 and 10 , the inside of the base 10 may feature an annular crevice with a protrudingledge 60, or protrudingledges 60, that form a snap-fit over the lip edge of the top of a can whenever the lip of the can is inserted into the annular crevice. This feature of the lid allows the lid to be snapped in place and secured over the top of a can. -
FIG. 11 is a perspective view of one embodiment of the child-resistant lid in an open configuration.FIG. 12 is a perspective view of one embodiment of the child-resistant lid in an open configuration.FIG. 13 is a bottom perspective view of one embodiment of the child-resistant lid in an open configuration.FIG. 14 is a bottom perspective view of one embodiment of the child-resistant lid in an open configuration.

Once the lid is secured over the top of a can, referring toFIGS. 11 and 12 , a user may access the top of the can by pulling back on the lock 4 and releasing it from locking thecover 20 in place. Once thelock 40 is pulled back, a user may grab thetab 30 and pull up on the tab to lift thecover 20 up, exposing the top of the can. Since thecover 20 is connected to the body of the lid by a hinge 5, the cover 2 is not removed from the lid. When thecover 20 is in an open configuration, a user may close and lock the lid by pushing thecover 20 down and then push thelock 40 back over the top edge of thecover 20, whereby a child-resistant seal is formed via a locking mechanism. The lock can be pushed outward and inward numerous times over the lifetime of the lid, so this lid is suitable for multi-use applications where a user desires to form a child-resistant seal each time the cover of a lid is open and closed over a can. - Referring to
FIG. 14 , the locking mechanism may be a lock 4, which is a latch or tongue, and a corresponding notch or groove 70 on the cover, wherein when in a closed configuration, to lock the cover, thelock 40 is moved over the cover so that it latches on and over the notch orgroove 70. - Although the method and apparatus is described above in terms of various exemplary embodiments and implementations, it should be understood that the various features, aspects and functionality described in one or more of the individual embodiments are not limited in their applicability to the particular embodiment with which they are described, but instead might be applied, alone or in various combinations, to one or more of the other embodiments of the disclosed method and apparatus, whether or not such embodiments are described and whether or not such features are presented as being a part of a described embodiment.
