  • Patent number: 4169531
    Abstract: This package has a main panel with a plurality of sockets formed by displacing material of the panel in a direction to form sockets with closed ends within the package and the sockets opening through the bottom of the package. A thin and easily tearable film is adhered to the bottom of the package in position to close the lower ends of the sockets so that products do not fall out. The sockets can be collapsed by finger pressure against the upper ends of the sockets, and a pill pushed from a collapsed socket tears the film as it is pushed out. The package is made child-proof by adhering a strong film over the bottom of the thin film, and this strong tough film can be peeled off when a pill is to be removed from the package by an adult. A cover hinges over one end of the main panel and covers the closed ends of the sockets.
