Abstract

See full text

A tamper-resistant, refillable paint container featuring a double tamper-evident A locking system. The container includes an inverted frustum conical liquid receptacle with external threading and male locks. A tamper-resistant lid with internal threading, a first tamper-evident locking ring with internal female ratchet locks, and break-off fingers engages the receptacle. A hollow neck extends from the lid, with external threading and male locks. A cap with internal threading, a second tamper-evident locking ring with internal female locks, and break-off fingers engages the hollow neck. The cap is installed onto the lid prior to filling, and the lid with the locked cap is secured onto the receptacle after filling. Removal of the cap or lid causes the break-off fingers to detach, providing tamper evidence. The container enhances user convenience, reduces spills, and provides cost savings through efficient nesting during shipping and storage.
