  • Patent number: 5894930
    Abstract: The invention is a child resistant and easy to use blister package for containing a solid medicament that utilizes a push and peel mechanism as an opening feature. The multi-section blister card package has an opening mechanism which features a pre-formed second cavity in the blister container sheet which is adjacent to the cavity containing the product and a corresponding full score or cut in both the backing closure sheet and the container sheet. A land area or notch of material that is not cut through is maintained in the score area to add break away resistance for hindering child access. An unsealed area in the closure sheet encompasses the pre-formed second cavity and score area allowing for easy separation of materials.

  • Patent number: 5878888
    Abstract: The invention is a child resistant and easy to use blister package for containing a solid medicament that utilizes a push through and peel mechanism as an opening feature. The multi-section blister card package has an opening mechanism featuring a cut-out in the blister container sheet which is adjacent to the cavity containing the product and a corresponding weakened area such as a perforation or score in the closure sheet positioned slightly inside and adjacent to the edge of the cut-out in the container sheet. The blister is opened by pushing through the closure sheet at the perforation to form a pull-tab which can be used to peel the closure sheet from the container sheet towards the product cavity thereby exposing the product cavity to remove the product.

  • Patent number: 5862915
    Abstract: The invention is a child resistant and easy to use blister package for containing a solid medicament that utilizes a dual compartment cavity assist mechanism as an opening feature. The multi-section blister card package has an opening feature comprising a pre-formed dual compartment cavity in the blister container sheet which is adjacent to the cavity containing the product and a corresponding weakened area such as perforation or score in the backing closure sheet in the area covering the dual compartment cavity. The blister is opened by applying pressure on the dual compartment cavity at the underside of the backing score line. The pre-formed second cavity assists in forming a pull tab on the opposite side of the blister, allowing for easy access to separate and pull the backing material towards the product cavity and thus exposing the product cavity for product removal.
