Sharp medical utensil container

摘要

The present invention relates to a sharp utensil container and, more particularly, to a sharp medical utensil container. The container includes first and second top flaps which can be selectively rotated to provide an entrance to a containment area into which the utensil is deposited. The container also has a pair of side flaps which partially extend over the containment area against which the top flaps are biased to close the entrance. A key feature of the present invention are the upwardly projecting tab members which occur on the top surface of the top flaps which serve to limit the lateral movement of the utensil as it is being inserted into the container.
