Definitions
- US 2001/0017273 Al upon which the preamble of claim 1 is based, discloses a child-resistant unit dose holder comprising a blister pack and a sleeve for slidably receiving said blister pack.
- the sleeve comprises a base provided with two base openings and is arranged to permit movement of said blister pack between a first position and a second position, in which first position the base openings are displaced from the cavities and the base blocking the cavities, and in which second position the base openings are aligned with the cavities, the base openings being sized to permit passage of an article contained in the cavity.
- the article contained in a cavity of the blister pack comprises a dose of medicament, e.g. a pill.
- the device can be adapted to various kinds of blister packs having different kinds of patterns for the array of cavities.
- the device can be provided with an inserted blister pack and ready to use, and be a disposable article, but can also be re-filled and re- used after a blister pack has been emptied.
- Figs. 6-10 are cross sectional views of the locking arrangement of the embodiment of Fig. 1, where the operating member is in different positions
- Fig. 11 is an illustrative view illustrating the different steps of the method for opening a cavity in a blister pack placed in a device according to the present invention
- the housing 8 is arranged to permit movement of said blister pack between a first position and a second position, in which first position the base openings 10 are at least partially displaced from the cavities of the blister pack and the base 9 blocking the cavities, and in which second position the base openings 10 are aligned with the cavities.
- the housing 8 comprises spacing means, provided inside the housing 8 at the base 9, for providing a space between the foil side of the blister pack and the base 9, in order to allow the blister pack to slide smoothly between said first position and said second position, especially after the removal of several articles from the cavities when ruptured foil portions may extend from the foil side of the blister pack.
- the base openings 10 are sized to permit passage of the article, contained in the cavity, therethrough.
- the housing 8 comprises an entry portion 41, which will be discussed in more detail in connection to Fig. 2, via which the blister pack is inserted into the housing 8.
- the device comprises a locking arrangement 12 comprising an operating member 13 operable by a user using one single hand or two hands, between a locking position and a non-locking position, in which locking position the blister pack is locked in said first position, and in which non-locking position the blister pack is movable to said second position.
- the locking arrangement 12 comprises second retaining means 31 for preventing the second operating means region 22 to pass its resting position against the second direction of movement 20, the resting position of the second operating means region 22 being the position of the second operating means region 22 when there is no action on the operating member 13 and it is in the locking position.
- the locking arrangement 12 comprises first blocking means 32 for blocking the movement of the second operating means region 22 from its resting position in a direction transverse to the second direction of movement 20.
