More specifically, the present invention is concerned with a multifunctional child resistant packaging system.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION In the pharmaceutical industry, many types of packaging have been developed for unit doses such as pills, capsules, chewable tablets, and the like. A type of packaging is the conventional bladder package. In a typical bladder package or vesicular packing, a thermoforming technique is used to make a plastic cover containing individual chambers to contain small consumable items such as pills. Then, a support or reinforcement is fixed to the back of the cover, thus enclosing each pill in its own chamber. The individual pills are released from the bladder by applying pressure to the pill through the plastic cover. The pill chamber collapses as the pill is driven through the pill compartment base reinforcement or support.
That portion of the support is broken and the pill is released from the bladder through the resulting opening. Because of its combination of drug therapy products, a pharmaceutical company may wish to place more than one medication in a bladder package. In a certain situation, it may be desirable to pack together in the same bladder pack, a first medication that requires a child resistant container and a second medication that does not require a child resistant container. However, a study of the packaging technique does not reveal an apparatus that provides access, resistant to children and free access to the respective portions of the same bladder package. Thus, there is a need for the technique of a system and methods for distributing drug combinations while restricting access to some medications.

Figures 3-6 show a series of perspective views illustrating the operation of the hinged lid of Figures 1 and 2. Figures 7-9 show a series of perspective views illustrating an alternative embodiment of the present invention.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION As required, embodiments of the present invention are disclosed herein; however, it will be understood that the disclosed embodiments are only exemplary of the invention that can be implemented in various alternative ways and forms. The Figures are not necessarily to scale and some elements may be exaggerated or minimized to show details of particular components. Accordingly, specific structural and functional details revealed in. the present will not be interpreted as limiting, if not only as a basis for the claims and as a representative basis to teach the one with skill in the technique to be used in a varied way, I presented it invention. For purposes of teaching and not of limitation, the illustrated modalities are concerned with pharmaceutical packaging. Turning now to the Figures, where like numbers represent similar elements from beginning to end, Figures 1 and 2 show - detailed perspective views, from above and below, of one embodiment of a packaging system 10 in accordance with the present invention. The packaging system 10 comprises three components: a bladder pack 100, a tray 200 to which the bladder pack is slidably mounted and a bladder retention cap 300 which is used to mount the bladder pack 100 to the tray 200 In the illustrated embodiment, the bladder pack 100 is manufactured using a thermoforming technique and the tray 200 and bladder retention cap 300 are fabricated using an injection molding technique. As will be understood by those skilled in the art, other manufacturing techniques may be used without departing from the scope of the claims. In the illustrated embodiments, the bladder pack 100 is mounted to the tray 200 by the manufacturer, distributor or pharmacist before the final user's package is offered for sale. Thus, a customer is provided with a package assembled, in which the bladder pack 100 has been mounted to the tray 200. It is contemplated that this assembled package will be slidable. In other embodiments, the packaging system 10 is modified in such a way that the tray 200 and bladder retention cap 300 are reusable because a used bladder package 100 can be replaced with a new one. The bladder pack 100 includes a plurality of chambers 102 and 104 and a support 106. An item such as a pill (not shown) contained in one of the chambers 102, 104 is released from the chamber by applying a downward pressure. on the outer housing of the selected chamber causing the camera to collapse and the item contained therein to be urged against the portion of the support 106 at the base of the chamber. That portion of the support 106 breaks and allows the pill to pass through the resulting hole. The bladder chambers are divided into two groups. A first group of general access cameras 102 contains general access unit doses and a second group of restricted access cameras 104 contain unit doses of restricted access. For educational purposes and not limitation, the illustrated mode includes a 6 x 2 matrix of general access cameras 102 and a 1 x 2 matrix of restricted access cameras 104. It will be understood that the dimensions of those matrices can be modified freely without deviating from the scope of the claims.
The region of the bladder pack 100 containing the general access chambers 102 is referred to herein as the general access zone and the region of the bladder pack 100 contains the restricted access chambers 104 is referred to herein as the "access zone". restricted access. As shown further in Figures 1 and 2, the bundle of bladders 100 further includes a region 108 between the general access zone and the restricted access zone in which there is no camera. This region 108 is referred to herein as a "camera free zone". The camera-free zone 108 includes a slot 110. Here, the slot 110 is located at least partially in both the restricted access zone and the access zone of. Chambers 108 for defining a path having a predetermined length for sliding bladder pack 100 between a first position and a second position. Tray 200 includes a frame 202 with end walls 204 and 206 and side walls 208 and 210. Tray 200 includes a pair of general access windows 212 and 214 corresponding in position to the general access chambers' 102 of the assembled package. . The tray 200 further includes a pair of restricted access windows 216 and 218. As described hereinafter, when the bladder pack 100 is slid to a second position, the restricted access cameras 104 are aligned with the windows of Restricted access 216 and 218. As shown in Figures 1 and 2, the pack of bladders 100 is oriented in the tray 200 such that the bladder support or bracing 106 is positioned between the pill cameras 102 and 104 and the access windows 212, 214, 216 and 218. An item is released from a camera by exerting pressure on the outer housing of the camera in the direction of the access window corresponding to that camera, which causes the item to be driven to through the bladder booster 106 and the corresponding access window 212, 216, 216 and 218. It will be seen from Figure 2 that the tray frame 202 provides structural support that facilitates the dose boost. This is an aspect of this modality that can be useful for users with impaired skills. As discussed hereinafter, the restricted access cameras 104 are aligned with the restricted access windows 216 and 218 where the pack of bladders 100 is slid to a second position. The pack of bladders 100 is retained in the tray 200 by the bladder retention cap 300. As shown in Figures 1 and 2, the bladder retention cap 300 includes a base 302 and three walls 304, 306 and 308 that together form a bell. This bell is part of a compartment - which houses the restricted access cameras 104 when the bladder pack 100 is in a first position. The bladder retention cap 300 further includes a center guide post 310. In the illustrated embodiments, this center guide post 310 is hollow and fits onto a corresponding mounting post 220 on the tray 200. The center guide post 310 it can be permanently attached to the mounting post 220 using an adhesive or other suitable technique. If desired, the center guide post 310 can be slidably mounted to the mounting post 220. This latter arrangement will allow the tray 200 and bladder retention cap 300 to be reused with replacement bladder packs. The center guide post 310 is mounted to the mounting post 220 with the center guide post 310 which extends through the bladder guide slot 110. When assembled together, the top edges of the retainer cover walls of bladders 304, 306 and 308 maintain the free portion of bladders 108 of bladder 100 against the surface. of the tray 200. After the bundle of bladders 100 is mounted to the tray 200, the bundle of bladders 100 is slidable in a longitudinal direction. The longitudinal movement of the bundle of bladders 100 within the tray 200 can be determined by the cooperation of the central guide post 210, and the guide slot 110. When the bundle of bladders 100 is in a first position, the central guide post 310 is spliced against a first end of the guide groove 110. When the bladder 100 is in a first position, the guide post 310 is spliced against a second end remote from the guide slot 110. Lateral movement of the bladder pack 100 within the tray 200 can be determined by the side walls 208 and 210. Figures 3-6 are a series of perspective views of the packaging system 10, illustrating the structure and operation of a child-resistant casing lid 250. In the illustrated embodiments, the hinged lid or hinged lid 250 is formed as an integral part of the Tray 200 during the manufacturing process. However, it is possible to form the child resistant hinged lid 250 as a separate unit that is subsequently mounted to the tray 200. Figure 3 shows the hinged child resistant lid 250 in a closed position and Figure 4 shows the lid engoznada resistant to children 250 in an open position, with bladder 100 in a first position. Figure 5 shows the hinged child resistant lid 250 in an open position, with the bladder pad 100 slid to a second position. Figure 6 shows a perspective view from below of the packaging system 10 with the child resistant hinged lid 250 in an open position. As shown in Figures 3 and 4, the child-resistant hinged cover 250 includes a flap 252 that is attached to an end wall 204 of the tray 200 by a hinge or hinge 254. When the hinged cover 250 is in the form closed position, it forms a flat surface that is substantially continuous with the base 202 of the bladder retention cap 300. As best shown in Figure 4, this hinged child-resistant cap 250 includes a pair of ribs 256 and 258 that protrude from the inner surface of the fin 252. The ribs 256, 258 are formed in such a manner that they are connected to the restricted access chambers 104 when the hinged cover 250 is in the closed position. In this way, even only one of the ribs 256, 258 blocks the bladder 10U to a first position when the hinged child-resistant lid 250 is closed. When the hinged child-resistant lid 250 is opened, the ribs 256, 258 are cleared from the restricted access chambers 104, allowing the bubble 100 to be slid to a second position. As further shown in Figures 3 and 4, this hinged child-resistant lid 250 includes a pair of buttons 260 and 262 projecting outwardly from a pair of resiliently deformable uprights 264 and 266. The buttons, 260 and 262 are dimensioned and positioned to fit closely within a pair of stirrups 268 and 270 formed in the side walls of the tray. When the hinged child-resistant lid 250 is in a closed position, the buttons 260 and 262 protrude outwardly through the abutments 268 and 270, engaging the edges thereof and blocking the hinged lid 250 in a closed position. As best shown in Figure 4, the hinged child-resistant lid 250 is opened by pressing buttons 260 and 262 inward in the direction of arrows 262 and 264 until they are sufficiently clear of abutments 268 and 270 to allow the hinged lid 250 is swingably opened in the direction of the arrows 266. It is contemplated that the user of the package will use the thumb and index of a first hand to press the two buttons 260 and 262 inward and use the second hand to swing the hinged lid 250 to open it. In order to facilitate gripping, hinged cover resistant to children 250 by the second hand, a semicircular cavity 312 is provided in the base 302 of the bladder retaining cap 300. The hinged cap 250 includes an ear 278 corresponding to position to the semicircular cavity 312 of the bladder retention cap 300. The hinged cap 250 can be closed again by swinging it downwards so that the buttons 260 and 262 are again engaged with the abutments 268 and 270. The buttons 260, 262 have a rounded surface pretending that the buttons 260, 262 slide into position without having to use the thumb and index finger to deflect the buttons 260 and 262 inwardly. As illustrated in Figures 5 and 6, the pack of Bladder 100 is slid below the direction of arrow 280 to a second position. In the second position, the restricted access cameras 104 have slid out from under the protective retaining cap 300 and are now visible and accessible. Further, when the bladder pack 100 is in the second position, the restricted access cameras 104 are aligned with the restricted access windows 116 and 118, as best shown in Figure 6. The unit dose in the restricted access cameras 104 can now be released from the bundle of bladders 100 by applying pressure to the restricted access chambers 104 in the direction of the arrows 282. As discussed above, the application of pressure in this manner causes the restricted access cameras 104 are crushed, driving the unit dose contained therein through the reinforcement 106 and out through the window 216 and 218. It will be appreciated that the hinged cover resistant to children 250 is resistant to children because it requires the. use of both hands and a hand-eye coordination developed to open the cover of engozne 250, which children under certain ages generally lack. Even if a child opens the hinged lid 250 it may be difficult to slide the bladder pack 100 to the second position to align the restricted access chamber with the restricted access windows 216 and 218 and then successfully drive a unit dose of this bladder 104. Figures 7-9 show a series of diagrams illustrating a further aspect of the invention in which the packaging system 10 is enclosed in an outer sleeve 400. As shown in Figure 7, the outer sleeve 400 includes a first open end 402 and a second open end 404 and is formed to fit closely around the entire packing system 10. The packing system 10 can slide out either from one end or the other of the outer sleeve 400. As shown In Figure 7, when the packaging system 10 is slid out of the first open end 402, the hinged child-resistant cover 250 is exposed without having to remove it. ompletely the packing system 10 of the outer sleeve 400; As shown in Figure 8, the hinged lid 250 can be opened to provide access to the restricted access chamber 104 of the bladder 100. As shown in Figure 9, when the packaging system 10 is slid out of the second open end 404, the general access chambers 102 of the bladder 100 are accessible without having to completely remove the packing system 10 from the outer sleeve 400. With respect to a method for packing items according to the invention, in one stage the items they are 'packed into a bladder package. The bladder package includes a general access area containing at least one general access chamber and a restricted access area containing at least one restricted access chamber, the general access zone and the restricted access zone are separate by a free zone of cameras. In another step, the bladder pack is loaded onto a tray, in another step, a bladder holding cap is used to retain the bladder pack in the tray. The bladder retention cap and the tray include between them a central guide post that fits a guide groove in the free zone. cameras in the bladder pack. The central guide post and the guide groove are placed in the tray in such a way that when the bladder pack is held in the tray by the bladder retainer lid, the bladder pack is slidable between a first position in the bladder. only the general access area of the bladder package is accessible and a second position in which both the general access zone and the restricted access zone of the package. Bladder are accessible. The bladder pack is retained in the first position by a hinged cap resistant to children and mounted loosely to the tray, such that when the hinged lid is in a closed position, it blocks the bladder pack in a first position and when the hinged lid is in an open position, allowing the bladder pack to slide to a second position. While the above description includes details that will allow those skilled in the art to practice the invention, it should be recognized that the description is illustrative in nature and that many modifications and variations thereof will be apparent to those skilled in the art. who have the benefit of those teachings. Thus, it is intended that the invention be defined herein only by the claims appended hereto and that the claims be interpreted as widely as permitted by the prior art.
