Abstract: A medication-dispensing card having a plurality of sealed compartments for holding single doses of medication. An inner pack, which provides a moisture and oxygen barrier to preserve the medication, comprises a blister sheet having a plurality of pockets for receiving the individual doses and a frangible lidding sheet laminated to the blister sheet for sealing the pockets. The inner pack is supported between front and back panels which are fastened to each other but not to the inner pack. The panels form a relatively rigid card which may be stored in the file drawer of a mobile medication cart. The structure allows unused medication in the inner pack to be recovered from the card without breaking the seal of an individual compartment permitting reuse. The blister sheet of the card is specially adapted so that the sheets may be stacked without adjacent sheets adhering to each other.

Abstract: A foil-backed blister sheet is sandwiched between upper and lower sheets formed by folding a single die-cut card having a heat-sealable adhesive coating on one side. Blisters project through holes in the upper sheet, and the blister contents are removed by pushing them through the foil backing and through holes in the lower sheet. The lower sheet is smaller than the upper one, and the upper and lower sheets are connected together by narrow hinge sections so that a margin area coated with heat-sealable adhesive is presented on the underside of the upper sheet. A third card having a tear strip, which must be removed to gain access to the blister contents, is heat-sealed to the upper card at the margin area. The upper surface of the third card is uncoated paperboard, which readily adheres to the margin area when sealing heat is applied.

Abstract: A contraceptive containing device including a contraceptive gel having a pH of less than 3.0; an elongated casing containing the gel and having an insertion end extending beyond the gel; and a hygenically sealed pouch enclosing the casing. The seal at one end of the pouch overlaps the insertion end of the casing to secure the casing to the pouch and close the insertion end of the casing. The casing is weakened in a region near where it is secured to the pouch for tearing when the pouch is opened to expose the casing and the casing is pulled with respect to the overlapping end of the pouch so as to provide a shearing stress in the casing near the insertion end, for thereby separating the casing from the pouch.

Abstract: A device for dispensing materials such as insecticides or repellents within a container includes an elongated enclosed member in which the materials are placed, which is attached to a surface of the container. A pull tab is provided to rupture the enclosed member releasing the materials.

Abstract: A repetitive combustion system for coating a work piece with particulate material is disclosed which utilizes an encapsulating tape having a plurality of discrete capsules each containing a predetermined quantity of the particulate coating material. The capsules are sequentially fed into a stripping chamber where the tape is clamped between inlet and outlet manifolds which provide a circumferential seal around the respective capsules so that pressure can be applied to an inlet face of the capsule. The inlet face is so configured as to admit air into the interior of the capsule which then swells and bursts the outlet face or otherwise passes through the outlet faces. The air pressure then injects the particulate material into the combustion chamber while the pressure in the combustion chamber is near the peak produced by combustion.
