Abstract
Description
- The present invention relates to packaging, and more specifically but not exclusively to a secondary package including a security feature for controllably accessing the contents of a primary package which is housed within the secondary package.
- There are numerous types of secondary packages used to store and display a variety of products housed within a primary package. Some conventional secondary packages include clam shells, cardboard boxes, paperboards, containers, shrink wraps, combinations thereof, and the like. Generally, the secondary packages, containing both the primary package and the product, are stored and displayed on a shelf or a rack of a store.
- Often consumers wish to have immediate, even if limited, access to the product they just purchased. For example, a consumer that stops at a pharmacy to purchase a topical ointment for immediate use wants instant access to the product, even if just for one or two doses. One problem associated with conventional secondary packages, particularly plastic secondary packaging with a high child resistance, tamper evident feature or theft resistance device, such as a clam shell package, is that the plastic packages do not allow a user to gain immediate access to the contents or product housed within the package. Hence, a tool such as a knife or scissors must be located and used to puncture, sever, or otherwise cut open the secondary package to completely remove the primary package before being able to access and dispense the product.
- Accordingly, there remains in the art a need for a secure secondary package that remains easy to open and that provides immediate access to at least a portion of the product within a primary package, without necessarily requiring a complete removal of the primary package from the secondary package. There is also a need for a secure secondary package that includes one or more security features for controllably restricting access to the primary package or to the product itself.
- The present invention seeks to avoid or at least mitigate the problems of the known art by providing a secondary package that allows the purchaser readily to have access, even if limited, to the contents of a primary package preferably such that product may be dispensed from the primary package without first having to remove the primary package from the secondary package.
- According to a first aspect, the invention provides, a secondary package for containing a primary package, the primary package for containing a product and the primary package having a dispensing element, the secondary package being structured and arranged to house the primary package and having an access means for providing access to the dispensing element such that product can be dispensed from the primary package without removal of the primary package from the secondary package.
- Preferably, the secondary package is structured such that the dispensing element is confined by a compartment, the compartment being structured such that operation of the access means opens the compartment and exposes only a dispensing portion of the primary package.
- Preferably the compartment is formed within the secondary package such that a recessed void is exposed when the compartment is opened.
- Preferably wherein the primary and secondary packages are, at least in part, of similar configuration such that a force applied to the secondary package readily is transferred to the primary package thereby to facilitate dispensing of the product.
- Optionally the access means comprises a severance line, and/or a tear strip, and or a removable section.
- Preferably the secondary package comprises supporting means to support at least a portion of the primary package.
- Preferably the supporting means is formed integrally within the secondary package.
- Optionally operation of the access means creates an aperture configured to receive said dispensing element.
- Optionally comprising means for securing said primary package within said recess. Preferably the primary package is completely removeable from said secondary package.
- Preferably the access means is re-sealable to recluse the primary package within the secondary package.
- According to a second aspect the invention provides a blank for forming a secondary package, the blank comprising a plurality of panels for forming an outer sleeve for housing a primary package, and the blank comprising an access means defined in said outer sleeve, the outer sleeve and access means being arranged such that access to a dispensing element of the primary package can be obtained such that product can be dispensed from the primary package when the primary package remains within the secondary package.
- Preferably the blank comprises panels for forming a compartment in which compartment a dispensing portion of an article can be held.
- Optionally the compartment is formed within the secondary package such that a recessed void is exposed when the compartment is opened.
- Preferably the secondary package formed from the blank is, at least in part, of similar configuration to a primary package to be contained therein such that a force applied to the secondary package readily is transferred to the primary package thereby to facilitate dispensing of a product.
- According to a third aspect the invention provides a method for dispensing product from a primary container containing product, the method comprising:
- (i) providing a secondary package, the secondary package being structured and arranged to house the primary container;
- (ii) housing said primary container within said secondary package such that an access means of the secondary package is configured for providing access to a dispensing element of the primary container;
- (iii) deploying said access means to expose said dispensing element and
- (iv) dispensing the product from the primary package without removal of the primary package
- Preferably comprising at least partially deforming said outer sleeve. Additionally or alternatively comprising at least partially severing said outer sleeve.

- Detailed embodiments of the present invention are disclosed herein with reference to the drawings. FIGS. 1 through 4, illustrate an exemplary
secondary package 10 for housing one or moreprimary packages 12 that contain product, according to a first embodiment. Thepackage 10 comprises anouter sleeve 14 including apanel 16 having ahang tab 18 for storing or displaying thepackage 10 on a rack. - The
package 10 further includes anaccess window 22 formed within theouter sleeve 14. Theaccess window 22 extends laterally from one or more sides of theouter sleeve 14, and in this illustrated embodiment runs partially parallel with thebase 31. Theouter sleeve 14 includes anaccess aperture 24 that extends within the body of theouter sleeve 14, and is defined at least in part by theaccess window 22. Theaccess aperture 24 is dimensioned to receive thedispenser end 26 of theprimary package 12, illustrated here as a tube with a removable cap and best shown in FIG. 4. - The
outer sleeve 14 includes arecess 28 configured to house one ormore products 12. Here, therecess 28 correspondingly aligns with theaccess window 22 and theaccess aperture 24 so that the dispending element such as acap 26 oftube 12 extends partially within theaccess aperture 24. In another exemplary embodiment, one ormore tubes 12 may be disposed onto a tray, and the tray is inserted or encapsulated within theouter sleeve 14 so that thecap 26 of at least onetube 12 protrudes through acorresponding access aperture 24. - The illustrated
outer sleeve 14 includes afront panel 30 andback panel 32. Thefront panel 30 and theback panel 32 are each attached to atop panel 34 and adistal bottom panel 36. Theoptional panel 16 is foldably attached to or integrally formed with any of theother panels front panel 30 and theback panel 32 are attached together to form therecess 28 and encapsulate one ormore tubes 12 within thepackage 10. Thetop panels 34 and thebottom panel 36 are folded to form a top wall and a bottom wall of thepackage 10. Aseverance line 38 is formed within the substrate of theouter sleeve 14 to form atear strip 40 that overlays theaccess window 22 and restricts access to thetip 26 of thetube 12. - In practice a user can have immediate, limited access to the contents of the primary package, as best illustrated in FIG. 3 without having first completely to remove the primary package. First, the user initiates a separation of the
severance line 38 to remove thetear strip 40 from theouter sleeve 14. In alternative embodiments atear strip 40 per se is not provided, rather the tearing of severance lines allow creation of theaccess window 22 or removes a section of the secondary package. In these embodiments, separating theseverance line 38 exposes thecap 26 of thetube 12, which allows the user to remove thecap 26. Thereafter, the user squeezes or otherwise applies an initial pressure to theouter sleeve 14 so that thepanels panels - This compression of the
panels primary package 12 by having thepanels panels primary package 12. The subsequent pressure applied to theprimary package 12 is sufficient only to release a single dose or limited amount of content from theprimary package 12. In this regard, the user gains immediate relief of his or her needs by gaining immediate, albeit limited, access to the contents of theprimary package 12. - Thereafter, when the consumer has access to a tool such as a knife or scissors, he or she can gain complete access to the
primary package 12 by cutting or severing theouter sleeve 14. In this manner, theprimary package 12 is removed from theouter sleeve 14, as best shown in FIG. 4. In alternative embodiments, additional severance lines are located on the outer sleeve to allow complete access to theprimary package 12 without the use of a tool. - Advantages of the embodiment illustrated in FIGS. 1-4 include tamper evidence such as when a
severance line 38 is ruptured or atear strip 40 is removed, and a child resistant feature in that only a limited amount of the product is accessible without removing thesecondary package 14. - Exemplary alternative embodiments of the present invention are also shown in FIGS. 5 through 7. FIG. 5 shows a
package 100 comprising anouter sleeve 114 including anoptional panel 116 having a hangtab oraperture 118 for storing or displaying thepackage 100 on a rack. At least oneaccess window 122 is formed within theouter sleeve 114. The illustratedaccess window 122 extends completely through theouter sleeve 114, and may comprise any size, shape or dimension. Theouter sleeve 114 includes anaccess aperture 124 that is formed within the inner surface of theaccess window 122, and extends at least partially within the body of theouter sleeve 114. As explained below, in some embodiments the size or configuration of the access aperture can control or further limit the user's access to the product. Not shown here is a tear strip, similar to the one described above, that defines theaccess window 122 and covers theaccess aperture 124. - At least one primary package or
product 112 with adispenser tip 126, such as a tube, squirt bottle, pump bottle, and the like is disposed or housed within theouter sleeve 114. Theproduct 112 is orientated such that thedispenser tip 126 protrudes into theaccess aperture 124. To access thedispenser tip 126, the user removes the tear strip to expose theaccess aperture 124 and then removes, opens, or otherwise manipulates thedispenser tip 126 to allow dispensing of the contents of theproduct 112. - With regard to
primary packages 112 that require external pressure to dispense the contents, such as a tube or squirt bottle, the user squeezes theouter sleeve 114 and a limited amount of content is dispensed as described above. Some alternative embodiments can be designed so that the user inverts thepackage 100 in order to dispense a limited amount of content. - With regard to
primary packages 112 that provide integral mechanical means for dispensing, such as the illustrated pump handle, the size and position of theaccess aperture 124 can help control the user's access to the product. For example, an access aperture with a high floor (very close to the external pump arm) and high roof (allows a user's finger on the pump arm), best shown in FIG. 5, permits the user to only press the pump slightly to dispense a small amount of product. Alternatively, an access aperture with a low floor and low roof, best shown in FIG. 6, permits the user to exert initial pressure on the top of panel 134 to partially depress the extended pump handle 126 with a subsequent pressure to dispense some amount of content. - In some embodiments, the top panel 134 and/or top portion of the
package 100 is permanently deformed and does not allow release or further compression of thepump arm 126. Similarly, otherouter sleeves 114 can be configured to permanently deform and not permit further subsequent pressure to be transferred to theprimary package 112. - Thereafter, when the consumer has access to a tool such as a knife or scissors, he or she can gain access to the
primary package 112 by cutting or severing theouter sleeve 114. In this manner theprimary package 112 is removed from theouter sleeve 114 as best shown in FIG. 7. In other exemplary embodiments, a severance line is provided that allows the consumer to separate or otherwise dismantle theouter sleeve 114, such as by completely removing a top portion or a bottom portion to gain partial or complete access to theprimary package 112. - A further embodiment of the present invention is shown in FIGs. 8 through 11. FIG. 8 shows a
package 200 comprising anouter sleeve 210 for housing one or moreprimary packages 218. Anaccess window 214 is formed within theouter sleeve 210. In this illustrated embodiment, theaccess window 214 begins at the base of theouter sleeve 210, and extends partially upwards in a longitudinal direction forming a first side "a", a second side "b", and a third side "c", as best shown in FIG. 11. - At least one
primary package 218, here illustrated as asquirt bottle 218 is housed within thepackage 200. Thesquirt bottle 218 is oriented within thepackage 200 so that thedispenser end 220 of thetube 218 protrudes into theaperture 216, as best shown in FIG 10. - A
severance line 222 is formed within the substrate of theouter sleeve 210 to form atear strip 224. Thetear strip 224 overlays or completely covers theaccess window 214, thereby selectively restricting access to thedispenser 220 of thesquirt bottle 218. As shown in FIG. 9, a user peels thetear strip 224 from theouter sleeve 210, along theseverance line 222, to expose thetip 220 of thebottle 218. As demonstrated in FIG. 10, a user dispenses a limited amount of content by properly orienting thepackage 200, and applying pressure or squeezing the sides of thepackage 200 in the manner described above. In alternative embodiments theseverance line 222 is substantially parallel to the bottom 31, best shown in FIG 1, and circumvents theouter sleeve 210 to permit the removal of the entire end of thepackage 200. - In alternative exemplary embodiments a
tear strip access aperture package - The present invention is applicable to the packaging, storing, and dispensing of various products. For the purposes of teaching and not as a limitation, the illustrated embodiments are directed to packages for dispensing pharmaceutical products. Accordingly, the terms "unit", "dose", "article", "item" or "product" as used herein include pharmaceutical preparations, as well as all manner of small and portable items or products. Further, the terms, "top", "bottom", "face", "back" "first" and "second" as used herein, are merely directional in order to distinguish one surface from another, and are not limitations. In addition, terms used to refer to a severed line of any kind, terms such as "cut", "notch", "tear notch", "frangible line", "severance line", "tear line", includes but is not limited to perforations, a line of perforations, a line of short slits, a line of half cuts, a single half cut, a single slit, any combination of perforations, slits, and half cuts, short score lines, and the like or the equivalent.
- It is also envisaged that in another embodiment a syringe may be comprised within the outer sleeve, removal of a detachable portion of the sleeve facilitates access to the variations, modifications, and combinations may be made to the above-described embodiments without departing from the scope of the claims. All such variations, modifications, and combinations are included herein by the scope of this disclosure and the following claims.
- In an exemplary embodiment, the secondary package comprises an outer sleeve for housing one or more primary packages, such as a squeeze tube, pump container, squirt bottle, and the like. One or more primary packages are housed within the outer sleeve, or one or more primary packages are disposed onto a tray and the tray is inserted within the outer sleeve. The outer sleeve includes an access window and access aperture adjacent to the access window. The one or more primary packages are positioned within the outer sleeve so that a tip, spout, or dispenser end of at least one primary package protrudes through a corresponding access aperture.
- In some embodiments, pressure is applied to the sides of the secondary and/or primary packages and the content is forced through the end of a tube. Alternatively, in other embodiments, a dispenser end in the form of a pump handle is exposed and the contents released via the pump handle. In still other alternative embodiments, the package is inverted and an amount of product is dispensed. Other alternative embodiments provide a sample apart from the primary package, accessible through the access aperture.
- In some embodiments, the primary package is held within the recess of the secondary package by features associated with the secondary package, such as ribs, tabs, straps, wings, panels, and the like.
