Novel lockable safe containers for dispensing valuable, dangerous and potentially dangerous goods via a main opening that is easy for adults to open and difficult for children or elderly or other frail adults to open, using a finger pressure on a sliding closure with a deflectable extension operable by finger pressure to enable. The novel safe containers have many additional advantages including human factors, ergonomics, manufacturing, supply chain and distribution, warehousing, retail, tamper resistance advantages, and labeling. The slidable closure exits the main opening zone via an auxiliary opening but wholly without exiting the container in normal usage.

1. A child protective hand-holdable container for solid articles, fluids, or other contents with safe closure comprising: a container defining an interior, a main fixed opening for access to contents in the interior, and a fixed auxiliary opening, and comprising:a slide track for receiving a sliding closure through the fixed auxiliary opening, the slide track extending from a distal side to a proximal side of the main fixed opening, the slide track defined by:a horizontal ledge protruding from an interior wall and extending about a perimeter of the main fixed opening, andat least one surface protruding from the interior wall of the container in spaced apart opposition to the horizontal ledge, the at least one surface sloping proximally toward the horizontal ledge;a sliding closure for preventing access to the container interior by blocking the main opening with an inner surface relative to the container interior and an opposite outer surface, slidingly translatable through the fixed auxiliary opening and along the slide track to clear the main fixed opening and exit the container partially or completely and translatable reciprocally back along the slide track for re-blocking the main opening and further comprising:a depressible extension of cantilever form on the closure with a proximal end, fixed on an outer surface of the closure and an unfixed free distal end, the closure itself blocking the main opening without the extension, and constructed and arranged so that vertically depressing the extension enables horizontal sliding closure movement through the auxiliary opening, and translation back through the auxiliary opening, the extension being free of the auxiliary opening when the sliding closure fully blocks the main opening;a flexible seal disposed around or adjacent the inner surface of the closure and having a footprint corresponding to the horizontal ledge; andat least one rail disposed on the outer surface of the closure, each rail having a proximally sloping surface configured for compressive slidable contact with the sloping surface protruding from the interior wall of the container, such that when the sliding closure is fully slidingly translated to block the main opening, the flexible seal is compressed against the horizontal ledge forming a tight seal. 2. The safe closure container of claim 1, wherein the flexible seal comprises a crab's claw. 3. The safe closure container of claim 1, wherein: the horizontal ledge is configured with one or more grooves extending along the slide track; andthe inner surface of the sliding closure is configured with one or more corresponding grooves for riding along the one or more grooves of the horizontal ledge. 4. The safe closure container of claim 1, further comprising: at least one lodging bump incorporated into the container extending into the auxiliary opening; andat least one corresponding lodging bump disposed on a distal end of the outer surface of the sliding closure such that, when the sliding closure is fully slidingly translated to block the main opening, contact between the respective lodging bumps of the container and of the sliding closure result in a force that compresses the flexible seal against the horizontal ledge. 5. The safe closure container of claim 1, wherein: the slide track is further defined by a surface protruding from the interior proximal side of the container in spaced apart opposition to the horizontal ledge; andthe sliding closure is configured with a sloping proximal end, such that when the sliding closure is fully slidingly translated to block the main opening, the sloping proximal end of the sliding closure mates with the protruding surface on the interior proximal side of the container so as to compress the flexible seal against the horizontal edge. 6. The safe closure container of claim 1 wherein the translation motion is linear along a planar or curved path to exit or enter via the auxiliary opening. 7. The sate closure container of claim 1 constructed and arranged to produce an audible, tactile and/or visible signal upon a full coverage of the main opening by retraction of the closure using the relaxation of the cantilever distal end of the depressible extension upon such retraction from a compressed state while passing through the auxiliary opening. 8. The safe closure container of claim 1 further comprising one or more buttons on the sliding closure to prevent the sliding closure from wholly escaping the container via the auxiliary opening in normal use. 9. The safe closure container of claim 1, with separate multiple depressible extensions of the sliding closure to require operation by a single adult finger, but not operable by a single child's finger. 10. The safe closure container of claim 1, with finger grip sections to stabilize a hand grasping the container as a base for thumb depressing and pushing or pulling of the sliding closure. 11. The safe closure container of claim 1, comprising a secondary fixed closure inward of the sliding closure with one or more shaped openings to receive correspondingly shaped contents. 12. The safe closure container of claim 1, with a cuboidal form. 13. The safe closure container of claim 1, with a truncated cuboidal form. 14. The safe closure container of claim 1, with a cuboidal or truncated cuboidal form of an upper portion of the container and a cylindrical form for a lower portion of the container. 15. The safe closure container of claim 1 further comprising: two spaced buttons provided on the outer surface of the sliding closure and configured to be stopped by a container wall structure near the auxiliary opening, but adjustable selectively but not in normal usage of main opening uncovering and covering, to clear the auxiliary opening for full removal of the closure from the container.
