Definitions
- THIS INVENTION relates to enhancing the stiffness of a blister package and is more specifically concerned with stiffening a blister package having sealed blisters between which air can pass by way of ducts extending between them.
- a blister package containing the doses.
- the package is constructed from a transparent blister sheet having blisters which individually contain the medication which the patient is required to take at a particular time on a particular day.
- the medication doses are held in the blisters by a frangible backing sheet, such as a thin metal foil.
- the blisters are transparent and have a relatively flexible front face so that finger pressure applied to the front face of a selected blister presses the doses inside it downwardly and against the backing sheet with sufficient force to cause the backing sheet to rupture. Such rupturing allows the doses to be released from the blister so that they can be collected for subsequent administration to the patient.
- a blister package comprising a blister sheet having an array of manually-depressible blisters on one face, and a planar stiffening panel formed with cuts extending through its thickness, the cuts framing windows through which the blisters of the blister sheet protrude, characterised in that the blister sheet is formed with channel-shaped ducts each connected at each of its two ends to respective adjacent blisters; pairs of opposed spaced fingers are provided in the stiffening panel that define openings between respective windows receiving the channel-shaped ducts of the blister sheet, and the stiffening panel is adhesively attached to coplanar lands of said one face of the blister sheet.
- the windows are arranged in perpendicular columns and rows to provide a rectilinear array of windows.
- the face of the panel destined to lie flush against said one face of the blister package is covered with an adhesive layer protected by a flexible cover slip which can be manually peeled off the panel prior to it being placed in its operating position against the blister package.
- the cuts extending through the panel do not pass through the cover slip so that when it is peeled off, portions of the panel remain adhering to the cover slip to expose the windows and openings in the panel.
- the panel may be made from card or board or even plastics. Being planar it allows legend or other markings to be provided on its exposed face. As the panel can now lie flush against the sheet it can be firmly secured to it throughout its area. Contact between the panel and the sheet is thus uniform and not impaired in any way by the existence of the ducts extending between the blisters.
- the windows are rectangular and the openings are formed between the shorter sides of the blisters flanking the two sides of the strip.
- Figure 1 shows a rectangular stiff card 1 backed by a layer of a pressure-sensitive adhesive (not shown) which is covered by a protective cover slip (also not shown).
- the adhesive layer is pressure sensitive in the sense that when it is exposed to air by peeling off the slip, it will adhere to virtually any surface onto which it is pressed without being heated.
- the card alone is cut by slits through its thickness along closed outlines 3 which define separate portions 4 of the card which are not required.
- the remainder 5 of the card 1 provides the stiffening panel 6 of the combination of blister sheet and stiffening panel shown in figure 4 .
- the stiffening panel has the shape illustrated in figure 2 .
- the portions 4 comprise closed bodies and remain adhering to the protective slip when it is peeled off the back of the card 1.
- the panel 6 is formed with a rectilinear array of windows 4 as shown in figure 4 . These windows are arranged in horizontal rows separated from one another by thin unbroken strips 8. the windows are also arranged in vertical columns separated from one another by interrupted strips 9. These provide two opposed and spaced strip portions or fingers between each pair of windows in each horizontal rows extend from the strips 9. The ends of the fingers are spaced from one another to provide between them a gap 10.
- one end-portion 11 of the panel is formed with a large window 11 for displaying personal details of a patient together with details of the medication doses which a doctor has prescribed and which are contained in the cavities of blisters of a blister sheet 20 shown in figure 3 and which is to be stiffened by an adhering panel 6 as shown in figure 4 .
- the end portion 11 of the panel 6 is marked with a line 14 of small slits shown in figure 2 to facilitate its folding into two parts 15 and 16 which can be folded together beyond the end of the blister sheet to bring two holes 13 on each of the parts 15 and 16 into registration with one another.
- Slits 17 extending between the registering holes enable the panel with an adhering blister to be easily hung and removed from hooks (not shown).
- the unloaded blister sheet is shown in figure 3 . It has a rectilinear array of rectangular blisters 21 positioned to match the positions of the windows of the panel and so shaped that each blister can protrude through a respective window of the panel. Each pair of blisters in a horizontal row have their cavities interconnected by a pair of parallel and relatively narrow ducts 22 as shown in figure 4 . These ducts are conveniently of the design described and claimed in our above-mentioned Australian co-pending patent-of-addition application. Likewise the blister sheet may also be of the design described and claimed in said patent-of-addition application.
- the stiffening panel 6 with exposed adhesive layer is placed over the face of the blister sheet from which the blisters protrude, and pressed down so that it adheres to the coplanar lands of the blister sheet.
- the gaps 10 in the vertical strips 9 provide channels through which the ducts 22 in the blister sheet can pass in an unobstructed manner and without spoiling the flush adherence of the stiffening panel 6 to the blister sheet 20.
- the thickness of the stiffening panel and the cross-sectional shape of the ducts 22 are such that the ducts do not extend above the upper surface of the stiffening panel 6 and are therefore, at least to some extent, protected by the thickness of the panel.
