Abstract: The present invention is embodied in a protective surround in combination with an “internal ejector punch.” The internal ejector punch is either integral to an upper membrane of the protective surround, or is simply disposed within a dome or bubble of a conventional blister-pack type container. For example, given a protective surround such as a blister pack, the internal ejector punch provides the capability to safely protect items within the blister pack such as medication in solid, soft or semi-solid, powder, or liquid form, while allowing such items to be easily and rapidly dispensed from the blister pack by a user. Further, the internal ejector punch is designed to be substantially stronger than the relatively soft blister-pack type container, thereby providing the added benefit of protecting items stored within the internal ejector punch in a manner that would not be possible using only a conventional blister-pack type container.

Abstract: A blister pack includes a die cut tab intermediate one edge of the blister pack and the medicament contained therein such that the tab is removed by tearing away from the medicament to define two spaced-apart legs which subsequently provide readily accessible gripping legs for subsequently tearing apart and opening the blister pack for accessing the medicament contained therein. In a preferred embodiment, the die cut tab is a generally V-shaped notch formed with the apex of the notch directed toward the medicament and which can be deflected from the plane of the blister pack and removed to define the spaced-apart legs subsequently employed for the opening of the blister pack.

Abstract: A process for producing uniform small doses of finely divided substances that consists of forming a well mixed dispersion of a finely divided substance in a liquefied gas and then metering precise quantities of the mixture onto the surface of a containment vessel. A major application involves the packaging of fine pharmaceutical powders into small unit doses for inhalation therapy. Liquid nitrogen is the preferred liquefied gas. A liquefied noble gas may be employed as a dispersing medium for sensitive or highly reactive substances. Powder particle size reduction may be carried out in the liquid nitrogen medium with little or no damage to sensitive pharmacological materials. The atmosphere of the seated containment vessel is easily pressurized with nitrogen. The containment vessel may be seated prior to the total evaporation of the liquefied gas dispersing medium.

Abstract: A child-resistant blister package for unit dose products, e.g., medicaments, composed of a blister layer and a cover layer. The blister layer formed of a planar material, e.g., thermoformable or cold-formable webstock, and has plural intersecting perforated line to form plural cells contiguous with the perforated lines. Some or all of the cells of the blister layer have a peripheral planar flanged portion and a blister portion projecting from the flanged portion to form a cavity in which the unit dose product is located. The cover layer is formed of a planar material, e.g., aluminum or other metal foil in either a single layer or laminated, and has plural intersecting perforated line to form plural cells contiguous with those perforated lines. Each cell of the cover layer is the same shape and size as a corresponding cell of the blister layer. The cover layer is fixedly, e.g.

Abstract: A non-through score line is made in the exposed surface of the blister sheet of a blister package. The non-through score line extends from one edge of an individual blister unit to an opposite or adjacent edge, i.e., across the corner of the blister unit. When the blister unit is angulated or flexed back at the non-through score line, the blister sheet will fracture. The smaller portion of the fractured blister sheet, still bonded to a backing sheet, acts as a tab for peeling the backing sheet from the blister sheet exposing the blister contents. Camouflage lines on the blister sheet help hide the score line, thereby rendering the package highly child-resistant.

Abstract: A child-resistant, adult friendly package is disclosed.

Abstract: An aperture forming structure, which when attached to or integrally formed in dispenser packages for flowable substances allows reclosure and single or multiple uses. The aperture forming structure includes a break away tip member of thermoformable plastic. The break away tip includes a hollow protrusion from a surface. The intersection of the hollow protrusion and the surface is a fault line. Rupturing of the fault line creates an aperture from which the contents of the dispenser package may exit. A cap may be integrally formed with the aperture forming structure and detached for protecting the hollow protrusion or for closing the aperture created when the fault line is ruptured. The aperture forming structure can be made by heating a relatively stiff substantially flat thermoformable sheet of and then stretching the sheet to create a first and a second hollow protrusion in a tiered configuration. A rupture line is placed at the intersection of the first and the second protrusions.

Abstract: A retail package for round cell batteries is a transparent single sheet thermoformed clamshell having a cover connected along a hinge to a base which receives an array of upwardly extending batteries. The base has a side wall which extends upwardly from a flat bottom wall. The side wall has a lower section which is substantially perpendicular to the bottom wall and has a zero degree draft angle. Semicylindrical pockets are defined by the base wall lower portion and batteries are positioned in the pockets two abreast. Thus, each battery is engaged by a portion of the side wall and another battery. Hence, a partially emptied container will still retain most of the batteries upright. The cover has a downwardly extending skirt with an inwardly extending semicircular closure tab which engages beneath a lip formed on the base side wall. The lid closure may be released by pressing the base side wall.

Abstract: A multi-chamber dispensing container for storing at least two substances in an impervious and sterile environment. The container has a tubular body, with a bottom end and an end having an opening. At least one means of occlusion having a continuous outer edge is disposed in an oblique position inside the body between the ends prior to activation of the container. The means of occlusion seals the body imperviously and divides it into two chambers, each containing a substance. The container further has a means for dispensing the substances contained in the body, these means being disposed near the end presenting the opening and sealing this end imperviously. The means of occlusion has two different areas, one of which is partially tearable under the effect of activating pressure from the fingers, the other being designed so as to not tear under the effect of the pressure. This second area maintains the means of occlusion in place within the body after activation.
