Abstract

Disclosed is a child-resistant container with a notch and peg locking mechanism for storing cannabis flowers, edibles, concentrates, substances, pre-rolls, and vape cartridges.

I claim: 
     
         1 . A container comprising:
 a body with a neck, wherein the neck is further defined by a thread, wherein the thread is further defined by an inlet, a track, and a notch; and,   a cap, wherein the cap is further defined by at least one peg located on the inside wall of the cap and a cap membrane in communication with the inside base of the cap.   
     
     
         2 . The container of  claim 1 , wherein body is a tube. 
     
     
         3 . The container of  claim 2 , wherein the cap features a housing that is located within the end wall of the cap. 
     
     
         4 . The container of  claim 3 , wherein the housing is further defined by a slot, whereby a pre-roll or vape cartridge may inserted. 
     
     
         5 . The container of  claim 1 , wherein the body features four threads. 
     
     
         6 . The container of  claim 5 , wherein the cap features four pegs. 
     
     
         7 . The container of  claim 6 , wherein the pegs are equidistant from each other within the cap. 
     
     
         8 . The container of  claim 7 , wherein the threads are equidistant from each other on the next of the body. 
     
     
         9 . The container of  claim 1 , wherein the track of the thread travels down and away from the inlet. 
     
     
         10 . The container of  claim 1 , wherein the track of the thread has a terminal end wall that leads up to the notch. 
     
     
         11 . The container of  claim 1 , wherein the container is shaped like a cube. 
     
     
         12 . The container of  claim 1 , wherein the container is shaped like a cylinder. 
     
     
         13 . The container of  claim 1 , wherein the body is composed of glass. 
     
     
         14 . The container of  claim 1 , wherein the body is composed of plastic. 
     
     
         15 . The method of storing a substance in a container comprising the steps of:
 obtaining a container with a body with a neck, wherein the neck is further defined by four threads, wherein the thread is further defined by an inlet, a track, and a notch and a cap that features four pegs on the inside walls of the cap and a cap membrane;   pushing the cap down, whereby the pegs travel down and out of the notch and into the track;   twisting the cap counter-clockwise, wherein the pegs  50  travel along the track and out of the inlet;   removing the cap by pulling it off of the body;   inserting a substance into the body;   placing the cap onto the neck of the body;   aligning the pegs with the inlet of the threads;   twisting the cap clockwise, wherein the pegs travel along the track until they hit the terminal end wall of the track; and,   releasing the cap, whereby the decompression of the cap membrane allows the pegs to lock into a secured position in the notches.   
     
     
         16 . The method of storing a vape cartridge in a container comprising the steps of:
 obtaining a container with a body and a cap, wherein the body is in the shape of a tube and has a neck with four threads that are further defined by an inlet, a track, and a notch notch, and wherein the cap features four pegs on the inside walls of the cap, a cap membrane, and a housing;   pushing the cap down, wherein the pegs travel down and out of the notch and into the track;   twisting the cap in a counter-clockwise manner, wherein the pegs travel along the track and out of the inlet;   removing the cap by pulling it off of the body;   inserting a pre-roll or a vape cartridge into the housing in the cap;   placing the cap onto the neck of the body, whereby the vape cartridge is stored inside the body;   aligning the pegs with the inlet of the threads;   twisting the cap in a clockwise manner, wherein the pegs travel along the track until they hit the terminal end wall of the track; and,   releasing the cap, whereby the decompression of the cap membrane allows the pegs to lock into a secured position in the notches.
