Container with tamper-evidence, reclosure feature

摘要

A container formed from an integral blank with a configuration having a top section and a bottom section attached to each other by a first line of weakness such that upon the application of sufficient pressure, the first line of weakness breaks the attachment of the top section from the bottom section. Upon breaking the attachment, a cover is formed from the top section that is hingedly attached to the bottom section at the rear wall panel. A releasable locking device having a first locking member on the cover is attached by a second line of weakness to a second locking member on the front wall portion. The first locking member and second locking member is in an aligned relationship such that when the second line of weakness is broken, the cover pivotally moves to the open position and a recess is formed between the front panel and side panels and the inner body portion. When the cover pivotally moves from the open position to the closed position, the first locking member and the second locking member engage to secure the inner body portion with cover in a closed relationship. Optionally, an audible sound is emitted when the first locking member engages with the second locking member.
