Packaging containers for ampules or the like
FIG. 1 is a front perspective view of a packaging container for ampules or the like showing my new design;
FIG. 2 is a front perspective view of another embodiment of my design wherein the only change is the provision of a single tear strip as shown;
FIG. 3 is a perspective view of the embodiment of FIG. 2 in open condition;
FIG. 4 is a perspective view showing another embodiment of my new design wherein the only change from the embodiment of FIGS. 2 and 3 is in the location of the crease line on the rear panel; and
FIG. 5 is a perspective view in open condition similar to the embodiment of FIG. 1 except for the provision of sharp rather than rounded corners on the tongue, tear strip areas and adjacent backing panel.
In all embodiments, the rear, top and bottom surfaces are plain and unornamented, except for creased hinge lines along the back surfaces wherein the lid is pivotable in a hinge-like manner. In all embodiments, the adjacent compartments are separated by the peaks of the continuous corrugated member, the valleys of which are adhered to the inner backing panel, the laterally outermost peaks forming the ends of the package. Apart from the tongue and separate tear strips, the embodiment of FIG. 1 in the open state is as shown in FIG. 3 or FIG. 4.
