Abstract: A singulating apparatus is therefore provided that utilizes a plurality of singulating cavities, each singulating cavity having a plurality of movable wall segments enabling the size and shape of the singulating cavities to be changed to correspond to the size and shape of the object being singulated.

Abstract: A sealed blister assembly is made tip of a blister sheet, a lid sheet, and a label sheet. The plastic sheet and plastic lid are joined together to form a substantially impermeable seal. The seal is formed by engagement of an undercut in the plastic sheet and a shoulder in the plastic lid. A plastic sheet and/or plastic lid are made from a polymer such as low density polyethylene to obtain the impermeable seal. The label sheet is secured directly to the blister and lid sheets.

Abstract: A package assembly for dispensing pharmaceutical medications comprises a plurality of individually sealed blisters and a relatively stiff frame having a plurality of apertures through which the blisters protrude. The blisters are made up of a plastic sheet having a medication receiving recess and a substantially planar shoulder portion. Sealed to this planar shoulder portion is a lidding sheet. The blisters each further comprise a ridge or other releasable interengagements that are engageable with the portion of the frame defining the apertures through which the blisters protrude.

Abstract: The present invention includes a package assembly which comprises a blister package and a surrounding frame having a child resistant feature. The blister package includes a blister sheet having blisters that form recesses adapted for receiving medications and a lidding sheet overlying the face of the blister sheet for enclosing medications in the blister recesses. The surrounding frame is designed for receiving and supporting the blister package and is made up of first and second panels. The apertures in each panel are correspondingly arranged so as to overlap in an opposing face-to-face relation. The apertures in the second panel are configured to partially obstruct the corresponding aperture in the first panel. The partial obstruction thereby forming a protective device to impede unwanted removal of medication from the blister package in a child resistant fashion.

Abstract: The present invention includes a package assembly for dispensing pharmaceutical medications, and a method of manufacturing the same. The package assembly comprises a blister sheet having blister recesses and substantially planar shoulder portions located between the recesses and coated with a cohesive composition, and a lidding sheet having one surface entirely coated with a cohesive composition having affinity for the cohesive that is coated on the shoulder portions of the blister sheet, but having no affinity for pharmaceutical medications positioned in the blister recesses. A relatively stiff plastic frame having top and bottom panels is positioned on opposite sides of the blister sheet and lidding sheet in a sandwich relationship, thereby giving support to the entire package assembly. The present invention, therefore, allows for customized prescription packaging to be economically handled by a patient's pharmacist.
