Patent number: 7866475Abstract: A child-resistant multi-step tear-access blister package having at least one product well containing a product. The product is accessed by tearing the blister package from a peripheral edge toward the product well. A step in addition to tearing is required to access the product, thereby elevating the cognitive skill necessary to access the product above those of a typical small child. In the disclosed exemplary embodiment, the additional step involves weakening a tear-resistant channel blocking a tear path from the peripheral edge of the package to the product well. More particularly, initial tearing of the package toward the product well is interfered with by the presence of the tear-resistant channel interrupting the tear path. The tear-resistant channel may be bent or snapped to permit tearing therethrough and to permit continued tearing of the blister package toward the product well to access the product.Type: GrantFiled: June 12, 2006Date of Patent: January 11, 2011Assignee: McNeil-PPC, Inc.Inventors: William Doskoczynski, Steven Ginsberg, Barry G. Seelig, Anne Carls, Karel Golta

Patent number: 7357255Abstract: A packaged supply of individual doses of a personal care product, e.g., strips of a water-soluble film that contains a pharmaceutically active material, comprises the combination of a) a tray; b) a plurality of substantially identical packets uniformly stacked in the tray, each packet having a pouch portion that holds a single dose of the product and a tab portion releasably connected to the pouch portion; c) retention means for holding the tab portions of the stacked packets in the tray; and d) a cover that is movably connected to the tray, the cover being movable between a closed position in which the stack of packets is enclosed within the tray and an open position in which the pouch portion of the topmost packet on the stack is sufficiently exposed that its front edge can be gripped, allowing the pouch portion to be pulled away from the restrained tab portion to which it is connected, thereby releasing that pouch portion from the tray.Type: GrantFiled: February 5, 2004Date of Patent: April 15, 2008Assignee: McNeil-PPC, Inc.Inventors: Steven Ginsberg, Bradford S.
