  • Each tablet or pill is individually packaged.
  • the above mentioned blister packages are usually in turn packaged in a protective casing or case.
  • the blister packages can be easily folded and damaged, thereby contaminating the contents or loosing it.
  • the aim of the present invention is to provide such a portable casing, specifically designed for blister packages containing drug tablets or pills, confectionery products and other like products, and adapted to prevent the blister packages from being accidentally damaged.
  • a main object of the invention is to provide such a portable casing which is compact and light, to be easily transported even in a pocket.
  • Another object of the present invention is to provide such a casing allowing to easily and quick taking single tablets or pills.
  • a portable casing specifically designed for blister packages containing drug tablets, confectionery products and other like products, characterized in that said casing comprises two half-shelves hinged to one another and including closure means, thereby defining at least an open position and at least a closed position.
  • At least one of the mentioned half-shelves comprises a plurality of recesses provided for receiving therein the product containing blister capsules, as the casing is arranged in its closed or closure condition.
  • the casing or case according to the present invention which has been generally indicated by the reference number 1, comprises a top half-shelf 2 hinged or pivoted to a bottom half-shell 3, through a hinge 4.
  • the half-shelves comprises closure means which, for example, can be constituted by a button element or pin element 5, designed for snap engaging in a seat 6.
  • the two half-shelves 2 and 3 comprise facing substantially flat surfaces, adapted to hold, at a closed condition of the casing, a bottom 7 of a blister package 8 comprising a plurality of capsules 9 formed in said bottom 7 for holding therein each a tablet, pill or other like product, in a per se known manner.
  • the top half-shelf 2 comprises openings or ports 10, adapted to provide corresponding seats or recesses for receiving therein the blister package capsules 9, as the blister package is enclosed inside the casing.
  • the openings 10 could be also replaced by contoured or shaped recesses formed in one of the two half-shelves 2 or 3.
  • the casing 1 according to the present invention has a thin and contoured configuration, thereby it can be easily stored in a pocket.
  • the accompanying figures show a casing comprising elongated recesses or openings, each designed for receiving at least two capsules 9 arranged on a same row.
  • a programmable device for indicating a set time to take a given drug.
  • the invention provides a portable casing specifically designed for blister packages holding drug tablets or pills, confectionery products and other like products, which casing provides the blister package with a good protection against impacts and damages, owing to the stiffening provided by the half-shelves.
  • a further advantage of the invention is that the inventive casing protects the blister package while allowing to take tablets by performing a like operation to that performed by the single blister package and, accordingly, without the need of opening the casing.
  • the casing moreover, is very light, has a very small size, good aesthetic properties, and one of this characteristics or all said characteristics can be stressed by suitably selecting the casing materials.
  • the casing can constitute an unexpensive and practical product, or it can be provided with a comparatively high value characteristics.
