Definitions

  • An outer sleeve of substantially rectangular cross-section has at least one open end.
  • An inner receptacle is slidably received in the outer sleeve and comprises a first member which has a side provided with at least one open recess, and a second recess which overlies this side and is sealin-gly connected to the first member so as to define with this open recess a sealed chamber within which an article to be packaged is to be accommodated.
  • the present invention relates to packages in general, and more particularly to packages for discrete articles.
  • the present invention provides a package for discrete articles which is subject to the disadvhntages outlined above.
  • the package in accordance with the present invention is extremely simple to manufacture and requires no complicated machinery.
  • our novel package permits removal of any and all articles contained in the inner receptacle, and it further permits all articles which remain after such removal to be stored in the inner receptacle and, furthermore, within the protection of the outer covering which surrounds the inner receptacle.
  • This novel package comprises an outer sleeve which has two spaced opposite ends at least one of which is open.
  • An inner receptacle is slidably received within the outer sleeve and comprises a first member and a second member.
  • the first member has one side which is provided with at least one open recess and the second member overlies this one side and is sealingly connected with the first member so as to define with the open recess provided in the one side thereof a sealed chamber adapted to accommodate an article to be packaged.
  • a plurality of such recesses can be provided and they can be of identical or of non-identical configuration and can contain identical or non-identical articles or, if desired, identical or non-identical quantities of such articles.
  • the second member may be a foil which is rupturable in response to pressure exerted on a side of the first member which is opposite the one side, whereby the articles are pressed against the inwardly directed side of the second member, rupturing the latter, and can then be removed from the one side of the first member.
  • our invention contemplates providing the sleeve with openings corresponding to the outline of the chamber or chambers in the inner receptacle, such openings being in registry with the outline of the chamber or chambers when the inner receptacle is received within the outer sleeve so that, when pressure is exerted as discussed before, and when accordingly the second member is ruptured, the article or articles can be removed from the thus-exposed chamber or chambers without necessitating sliding of the inner receptacle out of the sleeve.
  • FIG. 1 is a perspective view of one embodiment of the invention, showing the inner receptacle partly withdrawn from the outer sleeve;
  • FIG. 2 is a section taken on the line A-B of FIG. 1, but showing the inner receptacle received within the outer sleeve;
  • FIG. 3 is a view similar to FIG. 1, but showing the package from below, that is, from a side opposite that which is shown in FIG. 1;
  • FIG. 4 is a perspective view of another embodiment of the invention.
  • FIG. 5 is a section taken on the line C-D of FIG. 4;
  • FIG. 6 is a perspective view of a further embodiment of the invention with the inner receptacle partly withdrawn from the outer sleeve;
  • FIG. 7 is a section taken on the line E-F of FIG. 6.
  • FIG. 8 is a perspective view of yet a further embodiment of the invention.
  • FIG. 9 is a sectional view taken on line GH of FIG. 8;
  • FIG. 10 is a schematic detail view illustrating retaining means provided on the outer sleeve and to the inner receptacle
  • FIG. 11 is a sectional view taken on the line K-L of FIG. 10, illustrating an outer sleeve incorporating the retaining means illustrated in FIG. 10-;
  • FIG. 12 is a fragmentary longitudinal sectional view of a further embodiment of the present invention.
  • FIG. 13 is a longitudinal section through a package according to the present invention illustrating an auxiliary element received in the package, such as a perspectus;
  • FIG. 14 is an end view of yet a further embodiment of the present invention.
  • FIGS. l-3 illustrate a package comprising an outer sleeve 3 which may consist of cardboard, synthetic plastic material, or a similar shape-retaining material.
  • this sleeve 3 has two spaced open ends 1 and 2.
  • An inner receptacle 4 is received within the sleeve 3 and is longitudinally slidable in the direction from one to the other of the ends 1, 2, as indicated by the doubleheaded arrow shown in FIG. 1.
  • the inner receptacle may be manufactured by deep-drawing from a suitable foil of synthetic plastic material and in this embodiment the inner receptacle consists of a first member 5 which is provided, for example by the aforementioned deep-drawing process, with a plurality of recesses 6 which are open at one side of the member 5. These recesses 6 each accommodate a tablet 7.
  • the essential fact is that the member 8 thus defines with the recesses 6 sealed chambers each of which contains one of the tablets 7.
  • the foil member '8 is provided (see FIG. 3) with weakened zones 9 each of which corresponds to the open side of one of the recesses 6.
  • the latter is provided with one or more openings 10 (see FIG. 1) whereas one or more of the projections in the member 5, which projections are hollow on the other side and each constitute a depression, is provided with a tip 11 which, when the inner receptacle is placed into proper registry within the outer sleeve, will engage in a corresponding opening 10 and will thus prevent sliding movement of the inner receptacle 4 within the outer sleeve 3 until enough pressure is inserted from one of the ends 1, 2 towards the other end to dislodge the tip 11 from the opening 10-. It is advantageous to provide cutouts 13 at the axial ends of the outer sleeve 3, as illustrated in FIG.
  • the inner receptacle 4 is withdrawn from the outer sleeve to the extent necessary to expose a requisite number of the chambers 6, whereupon pressure exerted on the thusexposed projections forces the tablets 7 in the respective chambers against the weakened zones 9 which are ruptured by this pressure, so that the tablets can then be removed from that side on which the member 8 is provided. Thereupon, the inner receptacle is simply returned into the outer sleeve and the remaining tablets continue to be reliably protected until they are needed.
  • FIGS. 4 and 5 dilfers from that of FIGS. 1-3 in that it makes provision for circumstances where it may be desired to be able to remove the contents of the chambers without having to withdraw the inner receptacle from the outer sleeve.
  • the outer sleeve is again identified with reference numeral 3 and it will be seen that it is provided in the wall portion 12 thereof which overlies the member 8 of the inner receptacle with a plurality of openings 14- which, when the inner receptacle is received within the sleeve 3, are each in registry with one of the weakened portions 9 in the member 8.
  • FIGS. 6 and 7 illustrate a one-chamber embodiment, namely a package where the inner receptacle defines a single chamber which can accommodate one large article or a plurality of smaller ones.
  • This embodiment illustrates the provision of retaining means other than that shown in FIGS. 1-3.
  • a marginal zone of the inner receptacle which here is identitled with reference numeral 15, is provided with one or more recesses or cutouts 16 (one illustrated) whereas the interior of the sleeve, here designated with reference numeral 18, is provided with one or more inwardly projecting ridges 17 (see also FIG.
  • FIGS. 8 and 9 illustrate an embodiment of the invention wherein the inner receptacle is identified with reference numeral 19 and defines two discrete chambers each of which accommodates an ampul, tube or similar member 20. Other than in this respect the embodiment of FIGS. 8 and 9 differs from that in FIGS. 6 and 7 in the retaining means which is provided.
  • FIGS. 8 and 9 clearly illustrate that the inner receptacle 19 is arrested against sliding movement within the outer sleeve 21 by the inwardly projecting ridges 22 which are provided at both opposite ends of the sleeve 21, and, in the illustrated embodiment, at opposing sides of each end.
  • the inner receptacle 19 is of an overall length substantially corresponding to the distance between the ridges 22 at the opposite ends of the sleeve 21 so that, when it is fully introduced into this sleeve, it will be located inwardly of these ridges and will thus be confined against movement unless a pressure is exerted from one towards the other end of the sleeve 21 which is sufiicient to cause slight deformation of the material, for instance of the inner receptacle 19, thereby permitting the latter to move beyond the ridges 22 provided at that end which is opposite the one from which the pressure is exerted.
  • FIG. 8 illustrates another possibility, namely the provision of a cutout 23 in the margin of the inner receptacle 19, such cutout 23 being so located as to be adapted to accommodate one of the ridges 22 when the inner receptacle 19 is in the position relative to the outer sleeve 21 in which it is intended to be arrested.
  • a cutout 23 in the margin of the inner receptacle 19
  • such cutout 23 being so located as to be adapted to accommodate one of the ridges 22 when the inner receptacle 19 is in the position relative to the outer sleeve 21 in which it is intended to be arrested.
  • FIGS. and 11 illustrate a variation of the retaining means.
  • one or both inner side walls (only the side wall 24 shown) of the sleeve 25 is provided with a cutout.
  • the side wall 24 is of double thickness because of the overlapping necessary to permit adhesive or other securing of the overlapped portions.
  • the innermost portion of the side wall 24 is that which is provided with the cutout 26 and the inner receptacle is provided with a projection 27 which, as the receptacle slides within the sleeve 25, engages in the cutout 26 and thus provides the desired arresting effect.
  • FIG. 12 shows yet a further embodiment of the retaining means.
  • the embodiment shown in FIG. 12 corresponds substantially to that shown in FIGS. 1-3 with the deepdrawn projections each of which defines one recess 6.
  • One wall of the outer sleeve is provided with one or more inwardly projecting bulges 28 and it is clear that, as the inner receptacle 4 slides in the direction of the doubleheaded arrow, the bulge or bulges 28 will successively engage between longitudinally adjacent projections within which the recesses 6 are defined, and will thus serve to arrest the inner receptacle 4 in a plurality of positions relative to the outer sleeve 3.
  • a perspectus 29 is introduced into the outer sleeve 31 together with the inner receptacle 30 and it is clear how this perspectus will slide in the sleeve 31 together with the inner receptacle 30 and can thus be withdrawn from and reintroduced into the sleeve 31 whenever this is desired.
  • FIG. 14 finally, shows another embodiment in which the two side walls 32, 33 of an outer sleeve are provided with longitudinally extending ribs 34 which serve to guide the inner receptacle 35 whose lateral margins 36 slide between the respective ribs 34 and the bottom wall of the outer sleeve. If the space between the ribs 34 and the bottom wall of the outer sleeve is slightly smaller than the thickness of the margins 36 of the inner receptacle 35, the friction thus achieved will provide sufiicient resistance to sliding to prevent undesired sliding in the absence of a pressure adequate to overcome this resistance.
  • Similar longitudinally extending ribs 37 are spaced from the top wall of the sleeve so as to permit insertion and longitudinal sliding of an auxiliary member, for instance a prescription card 38, an information carrying table, or the like.
  • a prescription card 38 for instance, an information carrying table, or the like.
  • Such a card can, for instance, bear the name of the user and the address and telephone number of his physician in case accident or illness should occur to the user under circumstances Where he might not be able to identify himself or contact his physician.
  • the margin of the inner receptacle can be provided with a longitudinal extension which, when the inner receptacle is properly received within the outer sleeve, can be folded upwardly and tucked into the outer sleeve, thus closing the open end thereof.
  • a longitudinal extension which, when the inner receptacle is properly received within the outer sleeve, can be folded upwardly and tucked into the outer sleeve, thus closing the open end thereof.
  • an extension can also be provided on the outer sleeve for the same purpose.
  • the present invention provides significant advantages over the type of packaging outlined earlier.
  • the outer sleeve can be made from a single strip of material of very simple outline, rather than of the complexly-configuration pre-cut members required previously. Equally clearly, this strip-shaped outline eliminates the waste of material which herebefore was unavoidable.
  • Folding and securing, for instance adhesive securing, of the overlapping portions of the strip constituting the outer sleeve are the only functions necessary, and equipment for these purposes is very much simpler and therefore less expensive than the equipment necessary for the type of packaging known from the prior art. Any desired number of articles can be removed from a package in accordance with the present invention and all remaining articles will be properly stored and protected within the outer sleeve which, unlike the prior-art constructions, is not destroyed and discarded when the package is opened for the first time to remove the first article therefrom.
  • a package for discrete articles comprising, in combination, an inner receptacle comprising a first member having one side provided with at least one open recess, and a second member overlying said one side connected with said first member so as to define with said open recess thereof a chamber adapted to accommodate an article to be packaged, said second member being rupturable in response to application of pressure to another side opposite said one side; and an outer sleeve surrounding said inner receptacle, said outer sleeve comprising a peripheral wall including one wall portion overlying said second member and an opposite wall portion overlying said other side of said first member and said one Wall portion being provided with a cut-out corresponding substantially to the outline of said chamber so that the packaged article may be removed through said cut-out from said chamber in response to rupture of said second member resulting from application of pressure on said opposite wall portion and thereby on said other Side of said first member.
  • said retaining means comprising cooperating male and female coupling portions provided on said outer sleeve and said inner receptacle.
  • said outer sleeve comprises at least one cut-out for facilitating grasping of said inner receptacle when the same is received within said outer sleeve, and for sliding withdrawal of said inner receptacle.
  • said second member is a foil rupturable in response to application of finger-pressure on another side of said inner receptacle which is opposite said one side whereby, in response to such rupture, the packaged article may be removed from said chamber at said one side.
  • a package for discrete articles comprising, in combination, an inner receptacle comprising a first member having one side provided with at least one open recess, and a second member overlying said one side, sealingly connected with said first member so as to define with said open recess thereof a sealed chamber adapted to accommodate an article to be packaged, said second member being a foil rupturable in response to application of finger-pressure to another side opposite said one side; and an outer sleeve of shape-retaining but yieldable material having at least one open end and surrounding said inner receptacle with the latter having freedom of sliding movement therein, said outer sleeve comprising a peripheral wall including one wall portion overlying said second member and an opposite wall portion overlying said other side of said first member, and said one wall 8 portion being provided with a cut-out corresponding substantially to the outline of said chamber so that the packaged article may be removed through said cut-out from said chamber in response to rupture of said foil resulting from application of finger-pressure on said opposite wall portion and thereby on
