Definitions
- the present invention relates to display packages for consumer goods, and more particularly to display packages for consumer goods having a ring member covering the exposed peripheral edges of the front and back members.
- Blister-type packages are popular for storing and displaying articles for sale.
- the primary components of a blister-type pack are the outer shells made from a formable transparent material, e.g., plastic, and the cavity or pocket created between the outer shells.
- the formed cavity or pocket contains the product and the outer shells seal the product within the cavity.
- the consumer can easily examine the product through the transparent plastic.
- the plastic shell is vacuum-formed around a mold.
- the pre-formed plastic shells are affixed to another using heat and pressure to activate an adhesive. The adhesive is strong enough so that the package may hang on a peg to be displayed.
- Blister packs are typically thermoformed. Thermoforming is a manufacturing process where a plastic sheet is heated to a pliable forming temperature, formed to a specific shape in a mold, and trimmed to create a usable product.
- the sheet (or film when referring to thinner gauges and certain material types), is heated in an oven to a high-enough temperature that it can be stretched into or onto a mold and cooled to a finished shape.
- very large production machines are utilized to heat and form the plastic sheet and trim the formed parts from the sheet in a continuous high-speed process, and can produce many thousands of finished parts per hour depending on the machine and mold size and the size of the parts being formed.
- Blister packs have the advantage of offering a very attractive solution to display a package allowing the consumer to view the product within the package. While the ability to view the product within the blister pack is attractive to the consumer, the overall acceptance of the blister pack is limited by the negative aspects attributed to the peripheral plastic edge that is created when the outer shells are sealed together. Not only is the peripheral plastic edge unattractive it can also be rather uncomfortable to handle.

Abstract
Description
- The present invention relates to display packages for consumer goods, and more particularly to display packages for consumer goods having a ring member covering the exposed peripheral edges of the front and back members.
- Blister-type packages are popular for storing and displaying articles for sale. The primary components of a blister-type pack are the outer shells made from a formable transparent material, e.g., plastic, and the cavity or pocket created between the outer shells. The formed cavity or pocket contains the product and the outer shells seal the product within the cavity. The consumer can easily examine the product through the transparent plastic. The plastic shell is vacuum-formed around a mold. The pre-formed plastic shells are affixed to another using heat and pressure to activate an adhesive. The adhesive is strong enough so that the package may hang on a peg to be displayed.
- Blister packs are typically thermoformed. Thermoforming is a manufacturing process where a plastic sheet is heated to a pliable forming temperature, formed to a specific shape in a mold, and trimmed to create a usable product. The sheet (or film when referring to thinner gauges and certain material types), is heated in an oven to a high-enough temperature that it can be stretched into or onto a mold and cooled to a finished shape. For high-volume applications, very large production machines are utilized to heat and form the plastic sheet and trim the formed parts from the sheet in a continuous high-speed process, and can produce many thousands of finished parts per hour depending on the machine and mold size and the size of the parts being formed.
- Blister packs have the advantage of offering a very attractive solution to display a package allowing the consumer to view the product within the package. While the ability to view the product within the blister pack is attractive to the consumer, the overall acceptance of the blister pack is limited by the negative aspects attributed to the peripheral plastic edge that is created when the outer shells are sealed together. Not only is the peripheral plastic edge unattractive it can also be rather uncomfortable to handle.
- Thus, there is a desire to overcome the problem associated with the exposed peripheral plastic edge.
- The present invention relates to a package. The package comprises a front member and a back member. The front member comprises a first surface and an opposing second surface. A front sealing surface surrounds the second surface and a front flange extends from the front sealing surface. The front flange comprises an inward facing surface and an outward facing surface. The back member comprises a first surface and an opposing second surface. The back sealing surface surrounds the second surface and a back flange extends from the back sealing surface. The back flange comprises an inward facing surface and an outward facing surface. A joint secures the front sealing surface to the back sealing surface. A cavity is located between the second surface of the front member and the second surface of the back member. A ring member is positioned adjacent the outward facing surface of the front flange and the outward facing surface of the back flange to cover the joint.
- The ring member may be a unitary one-piece member or a one-piece member.
- The ring member may be secured to the outward facing surface of the front flange and the outward facing surface of the back flange. The front member and back member may be formed of transparent material. The ring member may be formed of opaque material.
- The package may comprise a secondary back flange extending from the back flange with the secondary back flange comprising a forward facing surface, a rearward facing surface and a length dimension. The ring member preferably has a thickness dimension greater than the length dimension of the secondary back flange.
- The package may comprise a secondary front flange extending from the front flange with the secondary front flange comprising a forward facing surface, a rearward facing surface and a length dimension. The ring member preferably has a thickness dimension greater than the length dimension of the secondary front flange.
- The front flange has an end edge and the back flange has an end edge, the ring member has a first edge and an opposing second edge, the first edge of the ring member extends beyond the end edge of the front flange and the second edge of the ring member extends beyond the end edge of the back flange.
- While the specification concludes with claims particularly pointing out and distinctly claiming the subject matter which is regarded as forming the present invention, it is believed that the invention will be better understood from the following description which is taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in which like designations are used to designate substantially identical elements, and in which:
