Container with Security Lock

Abstract

A container with a security lock is provided. The container may have a lid (or “top”) portion and a bottom portion. The lid may have a hinge which allows the lid to rotate with respect to the bottom portion. A unique locking mechanism on the lid locks onto a locking receiving mechanism of the bottom portion to safely lock the lid onto the bottom portion. The bottom portion may receive contents such as medication which may be securely stored and protected from children who might otherwise access an unprotected and unsecured container.

I claim: 
     
         1 . A container comprising:
 a lid having a front, a back, a first side, a second side, a top and a bottom;   a bottom unit having a front, a back, a first side, a second side, an open top and a sealed bottom;   a locking mechanism located on the front of the bottom unit wherein the locking mechanism comprises an indented area;   an extended bump on the front of the lid wherein the extended bump has a top surface and a bottom surface;   wherein the top surface of the bump is flat and wherein the bottom surface of the bottom surface of the bump is curved; and   wherein the locking mechanism locks the lid to the bottom unit.   
     
     
         2 . The container of  claim 1  wherein the first side and the second side of the bottom unit are flexible. 
     
     
         3 . The container of  claim 2  wherein the lid is not flexible. 
     
     
         4 . A method of opening a locked container comprising:
 providing a lid having a front, a back, a first side, a second side, a top and a bottom;   providing a bottom unit having a front, a back, a first side, a second side, an open top and a sealed bottom;   providing a locking mechanism located on the front of the bottom unit wherein the locking mechanism comprises an indented area;   providing an extended bump on the front of the lid wherein the extended bump as a top surface and a bottom surface;   wherein the top surface of the bump is flat and wherein the bottom surface of the bottom surface of the bump is curved;   wherein the bump of the lid is locked into the locking mechanism; and   squeezing the first side and the second side of the bottom unit while simultaneously pushing the front of the lid toward the back of the bottom unit to release the bump from the locking mechanism.   
     
     
         5 . The method of  claim 4  further comprising the step of providing a flexible material as the first side and the second side of the bottom unit. 
     
     
         6 . The method of  claim 5  further comprising the step of providing a non-flexible material as the lid.
