Definitions

  • Figure IA is a perspective view of a package according to a preferred embodiment of the invention.
  • well 16 is dimensioned to substantially center lens 20 therein while at the same time provide a configuration which intuitively informs a user how to slide the lens 20 from well 16. More particularly, well 16 is substantially symmetrical about the x axis and the perimeter 16a tapers inwardly about axis x from the center of the well 16 (where x and y intersect) towards front portion F to create a narrowing slope and an overall egg-shaped appearance to well 16. A user seeing this narrowing slope will intuitively slide lens 20 along the slope and out of the well 16.
  • the egg-shaped bottom of the well is slightly flattened and the radius of curvature of the sidewall is substantially the same completely around the perimeter.
