ABSTRACT:
A container closure and locking system, for selectively allowing access to a container having a lip, comprising a container cap, and a key. The key further comprises a magnet. The container cap further comprises an upper cap, a lower cap, a latch mounted between the upper cap and lower cap, and a center spring. The upper cap and lower cap are rigidly attached to one another. The latch has a lower latch, which grasps the lower cap and the lip. The latch has an upper latch and a fulcrum. The fulcrum attaches to a pivot point on the upper cap. The center spring is mounted between the upper cap and lower cap. The center spring presses against the upper latch, to bias the fulcrum against the pivot point, to maintain the lower latch in position grasping the lip. The magnet acts upon the latch, pulling the lower latch away from the lip to release the container cap from the container.
