Abstract
Apparatus for limiting access to items only during pre-determined times, a lockable container system includes a lockable container assembly and a remote control unit. The remote control unit includes an input keypad, a display, a processor, and a transmitter. The lockable container assembly includes a receiver, a locking mechanism, and an indicator. The pre-determined time that the lockable container assembly is able to be unlocked is entered on the keypad. When the predetermined time arrives, the remote includes an operator that, when actuated, sends an unlock signal to the lockable container assembly. At other times, the lockable container assembly remains locked, thereby limiting access to its contents. In one embodiment, the container includes perforations that ensure the inside environment matches the environment outside the container.
