Child-resistant closure mechanism and packaging

摘要

A child-resistant packaging comprises a packaging container having a mouth and a drawstring positioned along the mouth for selectively opening and closing the mouth. A first cord lock is adapted to receive first and second ends of the drawstring. Actuation of the first cord lock enables the first cord lock to slidably engage the drawstring. In one aspect of the invention, a second cord lock has first and second lobes. The first lobe is adapted to receive the first end of the drawstring while the second lobe is adapted to receive the second end of the drawstring. Simultaneous actuation of the first and second lobes enables the second cord lock to slidably engage the drawstring.
