Definitions

  • the present invention relates generally to a consumable product package assembly according to the preamble of claim 1, comprising a flexible package supporting a plurality of consumable products. More particularly, the present invention relates to a consumable product package assembly comprising a soft, flexible blister package and to a method of forming a product package.
  • blister packages to support and house a plurality of consumable product such as candy, gum, mints, as well as pharmaceutical products such as capsules, tablets and the like.
  • Conventional blister package assemblies of this type include a thermal- formed blister tray having a plurality of upwardly opening compartments which support the consumable products therein.
  • a blister cover or sheet encloses the open upper end of the blister tray to sealably cover each of the compartments.
  • the blister cover may be formed of a wide variety of materials including metal foil, plastic film or combinations thereof.
  • the blister tray is then supported in a paperboard sleeve in a slidable fashion.
  • the blister tray When it is desirable to dispense one of the products contained within the blister tray, the blister tray is slid out from the blister sleeve and the blister cover is removed from over one of the compartments to dispense the product.
  • Various techniques are known to dispense the individual product from the compartments.
  • the blister cover could be formed of a rupturable material which allows manual depression of the product through the cover.
  • the blister cover may be peeled back at selected locations over the compartment to open the compartment to dispense the product.
  • EP 1120355 discloses a package having a removable peelable cover.
  • the cover comprises a weakly sealed portion having a grip flap to assist in the removal of the weakly sealed portion from the remainder of the packaging in order to dispense the sealed product.
  • the blister tray and sleeve combination serves adequately for its intended purposes, certain attributes are not readily achieved with this arrangement.
  • the blister tray and sleeve combination is a relatively rigid structure. As successive products are dispensed from the assembly, the user must maintain possession of the entire assembly, in tact, until the last product is dispensed. Thus, when only a small amount of product remains, the user still must carry the entire assembly.
  • the blister tray is removed from the blister sleeve, the products cannot be viewed. Thus, the user has no idea of how many products remain in the assembly. Furthermore, even when the tray is removed from the sleeve the product can only be viewed from one side as the blister cover is typically formed of a nontransparent material.
  • a consumable product package assembly as defined in claim 1. Further optional features of the assembly of the first aspect of the invention are set out in the claims dependent on claim 1.
  • the present invention provides a flexible soft-sided blister package for accommodating one or more consumable products such as candy, gum, mints, as well as pharmaceutical products such as capsules, tablets and the like.
  • the present invention also provides for ease of dispensing of the products from the blister package.
  • Blister package 10 is formed from a pair of flexible sheets 12 and 14.
  • Sheets 12 and 14 may be formed of a wide variety of material including plastic films and the like.
  • the plastic films may include films formed of polyvinyl chloride (PVC), polyester, polyethylene or laminates and combinations thereof.
  • the films may be formed of cellulose and/or other degradable or biodegradable materials.
  • the film sheets are transparent enabling visualization of the products contained therein.
  • the sheets support therebetween a plurality of spaced apart products, which in the present illustrative embodiment are gum pellets 16.
  • the gum pellets may be arranged in spaced apart orientation defining plural rows and/or columns. While in the preferred embodiments shown herein, a plurality of gum pellets are shown, it is of course understood that it is within the contemplation of the present invention that a single product may be contained between the sheets 12 and 14.
  • the sheets 12 and 14 are provided, preferably, from a roll.
  • the sheets 12 and 14 are placed in intimate contact around the array of gum pellets 16.
  • the sheets may be secured together at locations between and around the gum pellets 16.
  • various heat seal techniques are used to secure the sheets 12 and 14 together around the gum pellets 16.
  • perforation lines may be included to allow severing of the sheets between the pellets.
  • the assembled sheets may cut to the desired configuration to form package 10. While the sheets 14, 16 conform about the pellets 16 to form a pellet or pocket 15, it is contemplated that the pockets or pouches for the pellets may be provided by vacuum forming techniques.
  • Package 20 is formed of a pair of film sheets 22 and 24 which are sealed together about a plurality of spaced apart gum pellets 26.
  • a plurality of spaced apart gum pellets 26 In the present illustrative embodiment, an arrangement of gum pellets in a 2 x 3 orientation is shown. However, it can be appreciated that any arrangement of rows and columns is within the contemplation of the present invention.
  • the sheets 22 and 24 are sealed together perimetrically around each pellet 26.
  • the perimetrical seal is a four sided seal on each side of the rectangular gum pellet 26.
  • the present invention employs a combination of a permanent heat seal and a pealable releasable seal.
  • the permanent heat seal 30 is applied to three sides of the pellet 26 and a peelable releasable seal 34 is applied to the remaining sides.
  • the peelable releasable seal 34 of one column of gum pellets is aligned along one edge 20a of the package 20.
  • the peelable releasable seal 34 of the second column is aligned along the opposite edge 20b of the package 20.
  • the peelable releasable seal area 34 is openable under manual squeeze pressure.
  • the user may dispense an individual pellet 26 from the package 20 by squeezing the pellet through the adjacent peelable releasable seal area 34. Such manual pressure opens the seal and allows dispensing of the pellets.
  • a further feature of the present invention includes the ability to provide perforations along the permanent heat seal area 32.
  • Such perforations 36 allow the package to be separated between the gum pellets 26 so as to provide separate sealed packages. Any arrangement of individual package configurations may be achieved by the arrangement and location of the perforations 36.
  • the package 20 can be severed into smaller units such as columns or rows or can be severed to provide individual sealed pellets.
  • the arrangement of the perforations 36 allow the package to be separated into any number or configurations of gum pellets 26.
  • the package 20 can be separated both prior to dispensing the gum pellets 26 or after dispensing the gum pellets 26. Thus, as each gum pellet is used from the assembled packet, the dispensed portion of the package can be removed from the remainder. This allows the package to be made smaller as the pellets 26 are used.
  • the sheets 22 and 24 may be formed of a wide variety of material.
  • the sheets may be formed of transparent, translucent or similar tear-opaque materials which would allow visualization of the pellets 26 contained therein.
  • the consumer would know the type of pellets contained within the package as well as know how many pellets remain in an assembled package.
  • Package 30 is shown in a single column arrangement including a plurality of gum pellets 36 therein. While a single column is shown, it is understood that the arrangement of Figure 4 could be employed in a multiple column orientation.
  • a permanent heat seal 50 is applied about three sides of the pellet 46.
  • the upper side as viewed in Figure 4 includes the peelable, releasable seal 54.
  • the arrangement of Figure 4 allows dispensing in vertical sequence of each individual pellet 46. Perforations are provided between the vertically arranged pellets where the perforation 60 is next adjacent the peelable release seal 54, but is wholly contained within the heat seal 50.
  • the package may be severed at any of the perforation locations to define smaller units. In fact, the package can be severed at each perforation location to define individually packaged and sealed pellets.
