Novel lockable safe containers for dispensing valuable, dangerous and potentially dangerous goods via a main opening that is easy for adults to open and difficult for children or elderly or other frail adults to open, using a finger pressure on a sliding closure with a deflectable extension operable by finger pressure to enable. The novel safe containers have many additional advantages including human factors, ergonomics, manufacturing, supply chain and distribution, warehousing, retail, tamper resistance advantages, and labeling. The slidable closure exits the main opening zone via an auxiliary opening but wholly without exiting the container in normal usage. |

1. A child protective hand-holdable container for solid articles, fluids, or other contents with safe closure comprising:
a container defining an interior, a main fixed opening for access to contents in the interior, and a fixed auxiliary opening, and comprising
a slide track for receiving a sliding closure through the fixed auxiliary opening, the slide track extending from a distal side to a proximal side of the main fixed opening, the slide track defined bya horizontal ledge protruding from an interior wall and extending about a perimeter of the main fixed opening, andat least one surface protruding from the interior wall of the container in spaced apart opposition to the horizontal ledge, the at least one surface sloping proximally toward the horizontal ledge;a sliding closure for preventing access to the container interior by blocking the main opening with an inner surface relative to the container interior and an opposite outer surface, slidingly translatable through the fixed auxiliary opening and along the slide track to clear the main fixed opening and exit the container partially or completely and translatable reciprocally back along the slide track for re-blocking the main opening and further comprising;a depressible extension of cantilever form on the closure with a proximal end, fixed on an outer surface of the closure and an unfixed free distal end, the closure itself blocking the main opening without the extension, and constructed and arranged so that vertically depressing the extension enables horizontal sliding closure movement through the auxiliary opening, and translation back through the auxiliary opening, the extension being free of the auxiliary opening when the sliding closure fully blocks the main opening;a flexible seal disposed around or adjacent the inner surface and having a footprint corresponding to the horizontal ledge,at least one rail disposed on the outer surface, each rail having a proximally sloping surface configured for compressive slidable contact with the sloping surface protruding from the interior wall of the container, such that when the sliding closure is fully slidingly translated to block the main opening, the flexible seal is compressed against the horizontal ledge forming a tight seal. |
