Abstract (en)
A latch mechanism for a child-resistant storage case has a seal bead between the lid and body of the storage case. The latch mechanism includes a latch tab extending downward from the lid that must be simultaneously pivoted inward and pressed upward to release the lid. The latch tab acts as a lever arm to locally deform the adjacent portions of the lid and seal, and thereby more easily release the seal when the latch tab is pressed upward.
