Abstract: Embodiments of a holder for a blister sheet used to manage prescription pills are described herein. The holder solves the problem of limited space in filled blisters of a blister sheet during visual verification of the contents thereof by including a frame to receive the sheet in such a way that at least some of the blisters are positioned in close proximity to verification receptacles also provided on the holder to temporarily receive part of the blisters' content.
Abstract: The possibility that a child inadvertently unlocks a child-resistant vial by triggering the latch with his teeth is avoided by preventing access to the latch from under the cap. This is achieved by covering all sides of the latch with the exception of the front face thereof intended to be used to trigger the latch while the cap is lifted. Improvement of the humidity barrier in such a vial is achieved by closing the vial container with a cap including a recess that defines inner and outer peripheral walls in the cap. The inner and outer walls together define an annular gap that is configured to complementary receive the peripheral flange of the container. Both the edge of the inner wall of the cap and the inner peripheral wall of the container are provided with sealing rings that are axially distanced when the cap closes the vial container.
Abstract: Embodiments of a blister sheet used to manage prescription pills are described herein and include a plurality of spaced-apart cavities, each surrounded by a flange on an open side of each cavity. The flanges together defining a top surface of the blister sheet. Two adjacent cavities are attached by adjacent sides of their respective flanges. Each of the adjacent sides having two longitudinal ends, each having a notch. When a sealing sheet is secured onto the top surface, the notches define unattached portions of the sealing sheet that can be used to grip onto the sealing sheet for its detachment from the top surface. The flanges of two adjacent individual blisters are joined by a tearing line that is weaker at the longitudinal ends thereof.
Abstract: The convertible child-resistant vial includes a container having an aperture and a peripheral wall and being provided with a first connection element in the form of contiguous locking and freeing housings provided in a collar extending from the peripheral wall; and a cap hingedly mounted to the container integrally thereof and including a second connection element for cooperating with the first connection element to close the vial in a child safe-manner. The second connection element is in the form of a tooth which is easily removable to convert the child-resistant vial into a non-child-resistant vial. The vial can be molded in a one piece body. The integral mounting of the cap to the container allows easing the distribution and handling of the vial.
