Child-proof package for tablets

Abstract

A form of child-proof package for tablets and the like pharmaceutical products, features a blister pack with at least one blister which is closed off by a push-through type lid foil, the blister serving the purpose of accommodating the tablets. For the purpose of removing the tablets, the push-through type lid foil of the blister pack lies against a wall part and with respect to that can be displaced by sliding from a closed position to an open position so that, when in the open position, the blister with the tablets lie in line with openings in the wall part and the tablets can be pushed through the openings. The blister pack is arranged between a rear wall part and a front part, and the wall part with the openings lies between the rear wall part and the lid foil. The blisters can be displaced by sliding from the closed position to the open position into opening slits and the openings in the inner wall part are covered over by a tear-off strip which is arranged in the rear wall part and can be separated from it along a line of weakness forming a longitudinal slit.

What we claim is:  
     
         1 . A child-proof package for tablets and similar pharmaceutical products, comprising a blister pack with at least one blister which is closed off by a push-through type foil lid, said blister serving the purpose of accommodating the tablets, the packaging being such that, for the purpose of removing the tablets, the push-through type foil lid of the blister pack lies against a wall part with respect to which the blister pack can be displaced by sliding from a closed position to an open position so that, when in the open position, the blister with the tablets lies in line with openings in the wall part and the tablets can be pushed through the openings, wherein the blister pack is arranged between a rear wall part and a front part and the wall part with the openings is an inner wall part lying between the rear wall part and the foil lid, whereby said at least one blister can be displaced by sliding from the closed position to the open position into opening slits and the openings in the inner wall part are covered over by a tear-off strip which is arranged in the rear wall part and can be separated from it along a line of weakness thereby forming a longitudinal slit.  
     
     
         2 . The package of  claim 1 , wherein the opening slits exhibit narrow regions between the closed position and the open position in order to increase the resistance to displacing the blister by a sliding action.  
     
     
         3 . The package of  claim 1 , wherein the openings in the inner wall part are covered over by a closure means that can be pushed through.  
     
     
         4 . The package of  claim 1 , wherein the inner wall part is covered over by a protective layer made of a plastic material.  
     
     
         5 . The package of  claim 1 , wherein the tear-off strip exhibits a gripping flange that terminates in an edge part of the rear wall part and on bending the edge part is freed from it, and can be gripped by two lingers.  
     
     
         6 . The package of  claim 1 , wherein the package comprises a strip-shaped card that can be folded together, whereby in the folded state one end part is folded along a first folding axis onto a middle part and is covered by a lid part folded along a second folding axis.  
     
     
         7 . The package of  claim 6 , wherein a blister pack is arranged in the middle part and a blister pack is arranged in the end part.  
     
     
         8 . The package of  claim 1 , wherein the opening slits are arranged perpendicular to the tear-off strips.  
     
     
         9 . The package of  claim 1 , wherein the opening slits are arranged parallel to and over the tear-off strips.  
     
     
         10 . The package of  claim 1 , wherein the line of weakness provided in the rear wall part to delimit the tear-off strip is a line of perforations.  
     
     
         11 . A child-proof package for tablets and similar pharmaceutical products, comprising a blister pack with at least one blister which is closed off by a push-through type foil lid, the blister serving the purpose of accommodating the tablets, the packaging being such that, for the purpose of removing the tablets, the push-through type foil lid of the blister pack ties against a wall part with respect to which the blister pack can be displaced by sliding from a closed position, where the foil lid lies adjacent to a solid region of the wall part, to an open position in which the blister with the tablets lies in line with a tear-off strip in the wall part; such that when the tear-off strip is removed to create an opening in the wall part, the tablets can be pushed through the foil lid and the opening in the wall part.
