  • Patent number: 11564866
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to wireless medication blister pack assembly and to a blister pack attachment to be secured to a blister pack assembly. The attachment an electronic card housing for receiving an electronic card which includes electronic components such as card connectors, and a locking system which is configurable between a locked configuration and a releasing configuration. In the locked configuration, the blister pack assembly and the electronic card are connected, with sheet connectors provided on the blister pack assembly and the card connectors being in electronic communication. Such electronic communication allows the electronic components to detect whether a given blister has been detached from the blister pack assembly. In the releasing configuration, the electronic card and the blister pack assembly can be removed from the blister pack attachment, so as to allow the electronic card to be reused with a replacement blister pack assembly.

  • Patent number: 10529166
    Abstract: A pill manipulating system for filling a packaging with pills is provided, as well as a corresponding method. The system comprises a vacuum pump, a pill manipulator including a hose connected to the vacuum pump, and at least one prong. The prong(s) has/have an opening at one end sized to retain a pill when the pill manipulator is in a retain configuration and suction is applied, and to release the pill when the pill manipulator is in a release configuration and suction is reduced. The system includes a vacuum pump controlling assembly including a variable frequency drive, for adjusting an air flow of the vacuum pump based on a selected input, which is representative of a size of the pills being manipulated, thereby reducing the likelihood of having the at least one prong retaining more than one pill at a time.

  • Patent number: 10351270
    Abstract: A system for loading items into a container-defining sheet. The system includes a support for receiving the container-defining sheet, the support having a top surface provided with a number of apertures equal to the number of cavities embossed in the container-defining sheet. A support illumination board is positioned on a back portion of the support. The illumination board includes a plurality of evenly-spaced-apart support light indicators, each support light indicator being positioned substantially centrally with respect to a corresponding aperture of the support and adapted to back-illuminate one of the containers of the container-defining sheet upon placement of the container-defining sheet into the support. An illumination board controller controls operation of the support light indicators to indicate into which container of the container-defining sheet each item is to be loaded. An enclosure includes drawers holding items to be put into the container-defining sheet.

  • Patent number: 8757381
    Abstract: A sealing sheet for closing a container-defining sheet having a top surface comprising a given number of spaced apart cavities embossed therein, each of the cavities being upwardly opened and defining a container surrounded by a flange. The sealing sheet includes a top layer having a lower surface covered with pressure sensitive adhesive glue, and a bottom layer having an upper surface detachably fixed to the lower surface of the top layer by pressure sensitive adhesive glue. The bottom layer being peelable from the lower surface of the top layer to allow fixation of the sealing sheet onto the top surface of the container-defining sheet in order to close the containers defined in the same. The sealing sheet also includes an additional layer that is tearable into additional elements that are foldably attached on top of each of the containers and on which additional information may be printed.

  • Patent number: 8181784
    Abstract: Disclosed is a sealing sheet for use to close a container-defining sheet having a top surface comprising a given number of spaced apart cavities embossed therein, each of the cavities being upwardly opened and thus defining a container that is surrounded by a flange that is part of the top surface of the container-defining sheet. This sealing sheet has a top layer which can be glued to the flanges surrounding the containers of the container-defining sheet in order to close said containers. The top layer is advantageously made of a water-proof material such aluminum, in order to make the closure of the container-defining sheet moisture proof once such a closure has been completed. This top layer advantageously also has a top surface that is printable to ensure that relevant information as to the content of each container being made available on it if desired.

  • Publication number: 20100194129
    Abstract: Disclosed is a separator devised to separate packaging sheets that are stacked on top of each other and are each provided with cavities embossed therein, the cavities of each packaging sheet being arranged in multiple rows of a given length and fitting into the cavities of neighbouring packaging sheets that are stacked therewith. This separator basically comprises a handle to which are attached at least two rigid blades which are parallel to each other and each provided with a bevelled end opposite to the handle in order to be easily insertable between two stacked packaging sheets in order to facilitate their separation. The blades are spaced in such a manner as to be displaceable between two parallel rows of cavities in order to separate those of the packaging sheet under which the blades are inserted from those of the neighbouring packaging sheet located thereunder. Such facilitates the requested separation with risk of damaging the packaging sheets.

  • Patent number: 7543709
    Abstract: Disclosed is an improved sealing sheet for use to close a container-defining sheet having a top surface comprising a given number of spaced apart cavities embossed therein, each of the cavities being upwardly opened and thus defining a container that is surrounded by a flange that is part of the top surface of the container-defining sheet. This improved sealing sheet has a top layer with tearing lines punched therein in such a manner and position as to extend from one side of each cover piece that may be splitted from the sealing sheet to cover one of the cavities up to at least the adjacent corners of the bottom piece left on the corresponding cover piece. Such facilitates peeling of the bottom piece and of the corresponding part of the cover piece from the corresponding container to have access to the element(s) stored in it while preventing glue to be left on the flanges that surround the top opening of the container since such flanges are then still covered by non splitted parts of the sealing sheet.
