Abstract
Abstract A child-proof container consisting of a casing (2) and a box (3) displaceably arranged therein, whereby the side walls (2a) of the casing at the interior are provided with locking members (4, 5) located diagonally to each other and intended to cooperate with recesses (6) in the side walls of the box, whereby the locking members are arranged to be able to be moved away from locking position in the recesses by means of external forces (A, B), which can be applied with two fingers diagonally on the casing to give this a rhomboidic shape, whereby at the same time a pressure force (C) exerted by a third finger can push the box out of the container. (FIG. 3)

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim
175 words
A child-proof container of the type comprising a box, which is displaceable in a casing and with locking members adapted to lock the box to the casing in the position where the box is entirely pushed into the casing said locking members being releasable from their locking positions, characterized thereby that the casing at the inner side of its long side walls is provided with projections, projecting inwards and forming said locking members, which are arranged to engage under locking into rcesses in the long side walls of the box in the position where the box is entirely pushed into the casing, whereby said projections in the two opposite casing long sides are located mainly diagonally opposite to each other, whereby the casing is arranged, under influence of external pressure forces (A,B) to be given a mainly rhomboidic cross-section, at least in the area of said projections in the purpose of releasing said projections from said recesses during the time of action of said pressure forces and thereby to allow the opening of the box.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
175 words
A child-proof container of the type comprising a box, which is displaceable in a casing and with locking members adapted to lock the box to the casing in the position where the box is entirely pushed into the casing said locking members being releasable from their locking positions, characterized thereby that the casing at the inner side of its long side walls is provided with projections, projecting inwards and forming said locking members, which are arranged to engage under locking into rcesses in the long side walls of the box in the position where the box is entirely pushed into the casing, whereby said projections in the two opposite casing long sides are located mainly diagonally opposite to each other, whereby the casing is arranged, under influence of external pressure forces (A,B) to be given a mainly rhomboidic cross-section, at least in the area of said projections in the purpose of releasing said projections from said recesses during the time of action of said pressure forces and thereby to allow the opening of the box.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
28 words
A container as claimed in claim 1, wherein each projection is formed with ramp-like surfaces inclined in a direction away from the adjacent short side of the casing.
Claim 4

A container as claimed in claim 3, wherein the recesses are open against the upper sides of the box walls.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
23 words

Claim 7
Dependent Claim
30 words
A container as claimed in claim 5, wherein the box is provided with walls which extend below the bottom whereby said recesses are located in the walls below said bottom.
