Zusammenfassung:The present invention relates to a child-resistant container and more specifically to a child-resistant container for storing a blister pack having an arrangement of blisters each of which contains a tablet or capsule. A child-resistant container for holding an item includes a housing and a tray that is pivotably connected to the housing for pivotable movement between a closed position in which the tray is in the housing for preventing access to the item and an open position in which the tray extends out of the housing for exposing the item. A latch in the form of a flexible member is connected to the tray and is biased to engage the housing when the tray is in the closed position. A lock assembly is connected to the housing and is engageable with the tray when the tray is in the closed position. In use, the tray is secured in the closed position by the latch and the lock and is angularly displaceable from the closed position to the open position upon the simultaneous application of a first force to the latch, a second force to the lock and a torque to the tray.
