Definitions

  • U.S. Patent No. 2,708,026 is directed to a container for tablets comprising a slidable cover for a box and a plurality of spaced pockets in the bottom wall of the box, for holding the tablets.
  • the pockets are arranged in diagonal rows across the box. This arrangement enables dispensing the tablets one by one upon progressive opening movement of the cover in each direction.
  • U.S. 4,593,819 discloses a compartmented pill-tray assembly having a molded plastic tray with open-top compartment arranged in a uniform array of columns and rows, a column being provided for each day of the week, and a row being provided for each interval at which the medication is to be taken.
  • the assembly may be received by a case including a rear cover and may be supported by a base for holding the tray.
  • the container has at least one slot extending longitudinally in one of the bottom, top or side walls of the container, with the user accessible member being a member having a portion which is accommodated within the slot and which is attached to or integral with the said gripping member.
  • the container may comprise a single gripping member for gripping either a blister pack or a drawer-like receptacle, or may comprise several gripping members, each of which serves for independent gripping of a blister pack or a drawer-like receptacle.
  • the present invention provides a container for dispensing unitary medicaments having a dispensing front face and being compartmentalized by a plurality of dividing walls extending longitudinally in a rear-front direction, each compartment comprising a slot extending longitudinally in one of the bottom, top or side walls of the container, each compartment slidably accommodating a piston for pushing the unitary medicaments within the compartment through said opening, the movement of each piston within the compartment being controlled by a member attached to or together with the piston accommodated within a slot.
  • the containers are provided with means for engagement with one another to form an assembly of such containers or an assembly with containers such as those mentioned above.
  • a container having a front face for dispensing the unitary medical formulation therethrough, at least one slot extending longitudinally in one of the bottom, top and side walls of the container, the slot being in a rear-front direction; and at least one gripping member slidable within the container between the rear wall and the front face, each of said at least one gripping member, having a gripping unit for releasably holding an end of a matrix containing a plurality of unitary medicaments and having a handle protruding out of said at least one slot.
  • the matrix may be a commercially available blister pack or a drawer-like slot receptacle containing loose unitary medicaments.
  • Each container may also comprise a cavity for holding an instruction sheet of the medicament as provided by the manufacturer, so that the original cardboard box in which the unitary medicinal formulation was purchased can be disposed.
  • Fig. 11A and 11B are isometric views showing the general manner of attachment of these two gripping members, whereas Figs. 11C-11F are cross sections showing various gripping mechanisms;
  • Fig. 14 and 15 show embodiments for engagement of the two members;
  • Fig. 16 is another embodiment of an assembly in accordance with the invention.
  • Fig. 18 demonstrates schematically the fact that a container of the invention may be used in a variety of different assemblies; and Fig. 19 shows a medicament holding container according to another embodiment of the invention.
  • the container further has a rear partition wall 56, defining together with rear wall 32 a cavity 58 having an opening 60 in the side wall 28.
  • This cavity is intended to accommodate, if necessary, the manufacturer's instructions sold with the original purchased medicament box.
  • Side wall 26 further comprises protrusions 27 and side wall 28 comprises recessions 29.
  • Protrusions 27 of one container is capable of engaging with recessions 29 of another container, for example, in a dovetail engagement, in order to form together the modulatory assembly of the invention composed of several detachably engaged containers.
  • Figs. 3 and 4 showing another embodiment of the invention.
  • the container according to this embodiment, generally designated 70 is similar to that shown in Figs. 1 and 2 and the reader is referred to these figures for explanations of the different parts.
  • Gripping unit 150 of the embodiment shown in Fig H E has a narrow space 152 adapted to receive an end of a blister, which is then secured in position by means of a pin 154 which can penetrate through the blister's matrix.
  • Gripping unit 156 of the embodiment shown in Fig. 11F is in essence similar to that of Fig. 11C with a difference being that rather than having blocks 132 and 134, unit 156 according to this embodiment has two resilient clamping members 158 and 160, holding the end of the blister by pressure therebetween.
  • each adapter can engage with three individual containers.
  • the adapter 212 in this case is a four walled construction wherein each wall is slightly slanted towards a central void 214.
  • Fig. 17 shows another assembly of the invention 252 suitable for holding a large number of individual containers, typically for institutional— ized use, e.g. in a hospital ward.
  • the individual containers are engaged by their bottom wall to a graduated rack 254 holding the containers.
  • Fig. 18 shows schematically the modulatory nature of the assembly of the invention.
  • the individual container 256 drawn in the center of the figure is adapted for engagement by its side or back walls, to other containers to form various types of assemblies.
  • the container may be engaged with other such containers, by the aid of a foldable adapter to form assembly 258, as described in Fig. 13, useful for carrying it around.
  • the container may form part of an assembly 260, as specified in Fig. 14.
  • the container may form a part of a still larger assembly 262, as described in Fig. 17.
