Replacement Lid Converting a Lysol Bottle to a Sharps Receptacle

For personal home use only - not medically approved

A replacement lid for an empty Lysol container (95 wipes size) that can be utilized for hypodermic syringes / needles collection before disposal. The outer seal rotates from its closed position to reveal a port to dispose of any sharps into the container. The seal is held in the closed position by a small sliding pin that uses opposing pole magnets to push the pin into a locked position. The magnets are 4mm x 2mm. A total of 4 magnets are used - 2 each in the lock pin and the pin housing. The like poles of each magnet pair face each other and act as a spring.

Post-Printing =============

See video link for assembly sequence.

The inner seal is a press fit onto the main body, note the indents in each piece and the position of the port opening and press the parts firmly together. Insert 2 joined magnets into the hole located in the lock pin slot in the outer seal. The pole orientation does not matter yet. They should be a press fit. Take 2 other joined magnets and identify their orientation so that they are repelled by the first 2. Insert (press fit) those magnets into the lock pin hole. If installed correctly, both sets of magnets will repel each other and act as a spring. Check the lock pin moves freely in its slot. Hold the lock pin in place in the slot in the outer seal and attach it to the main body / inner seal, check it rotates freely 90 degrees and the lock pin functions. Insert and tighten the threaded bolt to hold it in place (use a small amount of lubricant on the threads if needed). Do not over tighten the bolt - the outer seal must rotate freely. Attach the knob to the lock pin by pressing the parts together.

The main body is attached to the empty Lysol container with a firm press - it can be removed with a firm pull.
