Abstract
Description
- The present invention relates to a contact lens package and, more particularly, to a screw cap package adapted for improved accessibility.
- Typically, contact lenses have been packaged in blister packs. Each blister pack is equipped with a single lens and has a concave-shaped receptacle for receiving the lens and a cover removable attached to the receptacle for enclosing the lens in the receptacle. While conventional blister packs provide a convenient means for shipping and storing contact lenses, they are not designed to consistently provide easy access to the contact lenses. Such a contact lenses package is known from
EP223581 - The present invention overcomes the disadvantages and shortcomings of the prior art discussed above by providing a new and improved contact lens package which includes a holder having a receptacle formed in one end of the holder, the receptacle being sized and shaped so as to hold a contact lens. The package also includes a cap attached to the holder such that the cap is movable from the end of the holder where the receptacle is formed toward an opposite end thereof. The cap has a seal positioned adjacent the end of the holder where the receptacle is formed for sealing the contact lens within the receptacle. The cap is movable from a first position, in which the cap is proximal to the end of the holder where the receptacle is formed, to a second position, in which the cap is intermediate the ends of the holder. As the cap moves from its first position to its second position, the end of the holder where the receptacle is formed ruptures the seal.
- For a more complete understanding of the present invention, reference is made to the following detailed description of an exemplary embodiment considered in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, in which:
-
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a screw cap package constructed in accordance with an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, showing the screw cap package in its closed position; -
FIG. 2 is a perspective view of the screw cap package ofFIG. 1 , showing the screw cap package in its open position; -
FIG. 3 is an exploded perspective view of the screw cap package shown inFIG. 1 ; -
FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional view, taken along section lines 4-4 and looking in the direction of the arrows, of the screw cap package shown inFIG. 1 in its closed position; and -
FIG. 5 is a cross-sectional view, taken along section lines 5-5 and looking in the direction of the arrows, of the screw cap package shown inFIG. 1 in its open position. -
FIGS. 1-5 show a screw cap package 10 (or contact lens package) which includes aholder 12 and ascrew cap 14 adapted to be moveable relative to theholder 12. Theholder 12 has amain section 16 and abase 18 attached to themain section 16. Themain section 16 of theholder 12 has a series ofexternal threads 20 adapted to mate with thescrew cap 14 for purposes to be discussed hereinafter. - With particular reference to
FIG. 3 , themain section 16 of theholder 12 includes anannular rim 22, an opening 24 and a concave-shaped receptacle 26, all of which are formed in one end of theholder 12. Thereceptacle 26 is sized and shaped so as to receive acontact lens 28 and a conventional contact lens solution 30 (seeFIGS. 4 and 5 ), such as saline solution, for maintaining thecontact lens 28 in a hydrated state. Theholder 12 has an internal bore 32 (seeFIGS. 4 and 5 ) formed within anopposite end 34 of theholder 12. Alternatively, theholder 12 can be completely solid. - Referring to
FIGS. 1-3 , thescrew cap 14 includes a cylindrically-shapedexternal wall 36 having anannular edge 38 and a center opening 40 (seeFIG. 3 ). Theexternal wall 36 has a plurality of longitudinally extendinggrooves 42 spaced along an outer surface thereof. Thegrooves 42 are designed for allowing a user to attain a firm grip on thescrew cap 14 and to make it easier to rotate thescrew cap 14. Abreakable seal 44 is affixed to theannular edge 38 of thescrew cap 14 so as to cover the center opening 40. Theseal 44 can be made from any suitable material (e.g., a clear high barrier polymer laminate or a clear high barrier coextrusion) adapted to provide a reliable liquid-tight seal and to break in response to the application of a predetermined force. - Referring again to
FIG. 3 , thescrew cap 14 also includes a series ofinternal threads 46 adapted to threadedly engage and mate with theexternal threads 20 on themain section 16 of theholder 12. Theinternal threads 46 and theexternal threads 20 cooperate with each other so as to allow thescrew cap 14 to be securely connected to theholder 12 and also to allow relative movement between thescrew cap 14 and theholder 12, as thescrew cap 14 is rotated relative to theholder 12. - With reference to
FIG. 4 , thescrew cap 14 is attached to theholder 12 such that theinternal threads 46 of thescrew cap 14 mate with theexternal threads 20 of theholder 12 and thebreakable seal 44 is positioned above the opening 24 of theholder 12. In this position, theseal 44 of thescrew cap 14 covers thereceptacle 26 formed in theopening 24 of theholder 12 to thereby enclose and seal thecontact lens 28 stored within thereceptacle 26. Thescrew cap package 10 is assembled and delivered to the user in this closed position, as shown inFIG. 1 . - Referring to
FIG. 5 , thescrew cap package 10 is opened as follows. A user grips thescrew cap 14 with his or her fingers and then rotates thescrew cap 14 relative to theholder 12. In this manner, thescrew cap 14 is screwed (threaded) down over theholder 12. As a result, thebreakable seal 44 on thescrew cap 14 is forced against theannular rim 22 of theholder 12, thereby rupturing theseal 44 so as to expose the contact lens 28 (seeFIG. 2 ) stored within thereceptacle 26. Thecontact lens 28 can then be removed from thescrew cap package 10. - It should be appreciated that the present invention provides a number of advantages and benefits. For instance, the present invention provides a
screw cap package 10 adapted for improved accessibility. - It will be understood that the embodiment described herein is merely exemplary and that a person skilled in the art may make many variations and modifications without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention. For example, although the
internal threads 46 and theexternal threads 20 cooperate with each other so as to allow relative movement between thescrew cap 14 and theholder 12, other mechanisms can be utilized to allow relative movement between thescrew cap 14 and theholder 12. All such variations and modifications are intended to be included within the scope of the invention as defined in the appended claims.
