ABSTRACT:
A sharps container having a receptacle, cover and tray and providing an improved locking mechanism to resist unauthorized tampering. The locking mechanism also incorporates a means to rotate the tray into a locking position thereby closing the container. When the locking mechanism is actuated, the container is permanently closed and the locking mechanism itself is displaced into the container interior so that the top surface of the locking mechanism is flush with the adjacent exterior container surface. The present invention also provides for hands-free disposal of sharps through the use of an offset balanced tray biased into an open, receiving position. The receptacle section is designed to be stackable for more efficient packaging and shipment. The container also incorporates viewing windows to permit visual inspection of the container interior to properly determine when the container full and ready for disposal. The container is also designed to be attached to a wall through the use of mounting brackets.
