Abstract: The present invention relates to medication containers configured to detect and/or monitor dispensation of a medicament from the medication container. Each medication container comprises a medication tray comprising a plurality of sealed vessels, each containing a medicament; a cover member covering the sealed vessels and adapted to permit dispensing of individual medicaments and/or vessels therethrough; wherein the cover member is associated with an electrical detection means configured to automatically produce an electrical response to a medicament and/or vessel being dispensed through the cover member.

Abstract: A system for discretely packaging liquid or solid medication, or other substances, comprising a tray (10) with individual compartments (12) each containing a removable pot (17) and a perforated sealed sheet (21) enabling individual pots to be removed from the tray (10) for dispensing of its contents. The system also includes a computer and printer with software to create printed matter for the sheet (21) representative of the contents of the individual pots (17). An outer container (24) may receive several such filled and sealed trays (10) and an information sheet (28). One or more windows (30) in the container (24) provide a visual display of the contents. The system enables safe, accurate and easy packaging and dispensing of medication or other substances.

Abstract: In a system for discretely packaging liquid or solid medication or other substances comprising a compartmented tray (10) with a perforated sealed sheet (21) attached thereto and individual removable pots (17) to which the sealed sheet is also sealed, a heat sealing machine to cause the sheet (21) to be sealed to the individual pots (17) and to the tray (10) whist simultaneously folding and sealing a front flap (29) of the film (21) to an end face (15) of the tray, comprising a heated plate (30) and a spring loaded pressure plate (32) with a supplementary heated member (36) and adjustable spot- sealing pins (37) pivotally mounted on the machine such that as the heated plate (30) seals the top of the film (21) so the pins (37) fold the front flap (29) of the film (21) down over the end of the tray and seal it thereto. Thus, the film (21) is sealed to the tray on two planes substantially simultaneously.

Abstract: A container for discretely packaging liquid or solid medication, or other substances, comprising a tray (10) with individual compartments (12) each containing a removable pot (17) and a perforated sealed sheet (21) enabling individual pots to be removed from the tray (10) for dispensing of its contents The perforated sealed sheet (21) is of laminated construction and comprises an upper layer (30) of CPET which is surface-treated to be ink jet printable, an intermediate layer (33) bonded to the layer (30) and sealingly attachable to the tray (10). A removable paper backing layer (34) provides sufficient structural rigidity to enable the flexible laminated sheet (21) to pass through an ink yet printer whereby details of the intended contents of the pots (17) may be printed on the sheet (21).

Abstract: A medication temporary storage and transporting carrier comprising a tray (30) with a hinged and closable lid (31), preferably made as one piece from moulded plastics, the tray (30) defining a number of side-by-side apertures (32) adapted to receive individual sealed containers (17) of liquid or solid medication or the like each with a flange (18) resting upon the tray and retained therein by the lid (31) when closed. Each container (17) may be individually removed from the tray whereupon its contents may be dispensed after removal of its individual sealed film (23). The carrier provides a convenient means of transporting small numbers of medication containers as may be required during short periods.

Abstract: A container for dispensing pills, tablets or capsules and comprising a box (10) having hinged lid (16). The box (10) contains a removable compartmented tray (21) having, in the example illustrated, seven rows each of six compartments (22) for containing items to be dispensed, and representing the days of the week and six periods during each day. The compartments (22) may be viewed through a like number of windows (17) in the hinged lid (16), each row being occluded by a transparent sliding shutter (18) which may be slid open progressively to permit the contents of each compartment (22) to be discharged. The entire container may be filled without removing the tray (21) from the box (10), and information such as medicines and patient details, is visible through windows (28) on the underside of the box (10) and through a window (29) on one side wall (12) thereof.
