Definitions

  • This invention relates to a package that houses portable items on a tray configured to be inserted into an outer sleeve.
  • This package may have one or more internal or external locks that prevent the tray from being pulled out of the sleeve.
  • This package provides a child-resistant, senior-friendly package that can be opened and closed numerous times to access the items held by the tray.
  • Conventional pharmaceutical packaging has shortcomings with regard to drug delivery devices, which create problems for both the manufacturer and end user. For example, it is known to distribute syringes, vials, inhalers, patches, test kits, or parts thereof in packaging that incorporates foam elements to separate and pad the product. Such conventional packaging normally holds the product in a vertical position; however, where conventional packaging holds the product in a horizontal position, the products are typically layered on top of each other. It is also known to distribute drug delivery devices loose - or loose, but individually wrapped - in conventional boxes without any means for holding or protecting the products.
  • the conventional manufacturer that incorporates form or plastic elements in its packaging to protect the product carries an increased inventory and employs a more complicated manufacturing system to produce its packaging. Further, the conventional manufacturer typically produces one kind of package to be filled by automated means and another kind to be filled by hand, which also increases inventory and the number of product lines.
  • the present invention fulfills the needs identified above by providing packaging comprising an inner slide card/tray that is inserted within an outer sleeve.
  • the outer sleeve and inner slide card/tray both comprise elements configured to cooperatively engage the other to create a means for locking, means for releasing, and means for stopping.
  • the means for engaging include panels, tabs, catches, ribs, catches, abutments, edges, cutouts, apertures, and like elements, integral to or attached to either the card or tray, configured to connect with similar elements associated with the outer sleeve, and referred to herein as the means for locking.
  • the means for releasing include panels, tabs, ribs, abutments, edges, cutouts, catches, apertures, and like elements, integral to or attached to the outer sleeve, configured to uncouple engaged or locked elements.
  • the present invention provides an optional child-resistant feature.
  • a means for stopping comprise panels, tabs, ribs, catches, abutments, apertures, edges, cutouts, and like elements, integral to or attached to either the card or tray, configured to matingly engage similar elements associated with the outer sleeve.
  • the present invention provides an optional spill-resistant feature to prevent the user from pulling the tray completely away from the outer sleeve.
  • Alternative embodiments include an apparatus and method for holding and storing drug delivery devices by providing an inner tray configuration that, by way of example and not limitation, protects a plunger from inadvertent activation; shields a needle from inadvertent exposure; allows easy access to a drug-filled container for removal and replacement; and collects and stores the spent devices.
  • embodiments of the present invention provide an apparatus and system that is able to safely ship drug delivery devices for trans-epidermal, oral, or hypodermic administration, including pre-filled syringes, needles, vials, ampoules, protective shields, patches, inhalers, and parts thereof, and like devices, safely store the unused devices, and safely store the used devices until all can be safely disposed as unit.
  • Embodiments include a pre-formed tray attached to a paperboard card, and a monolithically formed card/tray combination. Compliance information or general information related to the medication or therapy may be positioned on or with the slide card, tray, or outer sleeve in a manner easily visible by the user.
  • indicia ⁇ such as, but not limited to, time of day, days of the week, numerical sequence, or dosage amounts ⁇ are positioned adjacent to the devices.
  • Another embodiment of the present invention comprises a slide card with an engaging tab and a tray receiving area. At least one pre-formed tray, configured to receive and hold at least one portable item, may be attached to the tray receiving area.

Abstract

La présente invention concerne un emballage de transport ou de rangement pour divers types d'articles portables. Un tiroir préformé est configuré pour recevoir et garder des articles portables de toutes dimensions et formes. Le tiroir est solidaire d'une carte coulissante, chargée des articles, et s'insérant dans un manchon extérieur. Des évidements du tiroir permettent d'accueillir les articles. Une butée faisant partie intégrante de la carte ou du tiroir vient s'enclencher dans des éléments de verrouillage et des éléments de butée faisant partie intégrante du manchon extérieur. Ces enclenchements réciproques confèrent à la boîte une résistance aux enfants et aux liquides. Un dispositif de déclenchement libère le dispositif résistant aux enfants.
