Abstract
The technology disclosed herein includes methods and apparatus of a childproof storage container, which includes a lid and a base portion with seesaw-style latches. The seesaw-style latches are configured to unlock a childproof storage container in a locked position upon simultaneously release. Each seesaw-style latch may include a flared end. In a locked position, the childproof storage container may be unlocked and opened upon depression of the flared end of the seesaw-style latch, which rotates the seesaw-style latch from the lid. Each seesaw-style latch may include a standing rib to prevent over-rotation of each seesaw-style latch and/or a chamfer to facilitate closure. The base portion may include a base portion flange, which includes a plurality of female recesses to receive the plurality of male teeth of a lid flange. The base portion and the lid may include opposing walls that interlock during a closed position and/or a gasket for sealing.
