  • Patent number: 5339960
    Abstract: A child-resistant package for tablets, capsules and the like includes a plurality of bubble chambers; a rupturable barrier bonded to each bubble chamber to seal the tablet in the bubble chamber. A top layer covers the rupturable barrier and defines an access panel which may be peeled away along first score lines to a first access position. An intermediate layer is sandwiched between the rupturable layer and the top layer and includes second score lines which define a breakaway panel. The bubble chamber, access panel and breakaway panel are aligned and operable such that a tablet in the bubble chamber may be extricated by first peeling back the access panel to the first access position to reveal the breakaway panel, and then pushing against the bubble chamber to force the tablet against the rupturable layer until the rupturable layer ruptures and the breakaway panel breaks away to expose the tablet.
