Abstract: A childproof covering of a blister pack, e.g., one used to contain and vend tablets of medication, is heat-sealed to an element containing recesses for containing the tablets. The heat sealing disposes a frangible foil over the tablets, and provides two successive peelably adhered layers, preferably of a transparent plastic material, thereover. These two layers are each provided with a series of perforations in respective different patterns. Such a structure prevents a young child from biting through to the medication yet enables an older child or adult to successively peel away portions of the two plastic films to, thereafter, apply a force to the medication to rupture the foil in known manner. The adhesive layers by which the two plastic films are adhered to the frangible foil may include an ingredient which is harmless but will taste unpleasant to a young child and discourage further efforts to access the medication.

Abstract: A device (2) used to transfer the liquid contents (156) of a glass ampule (8) to a vial (10) includes a telescoping ampule body (12, 14) defining a collapsible, substantially air-tight region (22) within which the ampule is housed, which collapses when one part (12) is threaded onto the other part (14). This collapse increases the pressure within the collapsible region housing the ampule. The ampule is broken within the region, such as at the end of the collapsing of the telescoping members by snapping off the tip (64) of the ampule and breaking the base (48, 53) of the ampule. When used with a vial, a vial (10) is mounted to the ampule body via a vial body (80, 92). A vial spike (120) passes through the vial septum (128). The ampule body and the vial body defines a flow path (74, 100) between the vial spike and the ampule region. Once the flow path is open, the liquid from the ampule within the region flows along the flow path and into the vial because of the pressure created within the region.
