Child-Resistant Container for Housing a Blister Card

Abstract

A child-resistant container for housing a blister card includes a top section and bottom section with an opening on one side for a blister card to be moved from a stored position to a dispensing position, partially removed form the container. A blister card sits against the inner surface bottom section and is held there by a trap arm molded into the top section. The trap arm has a plate that presses down on the blister holding it in place. The blister card is unreachable, except via an opening in the bottom of the container. The user pushed on the blister card through the thumbhole causing the blister into a dispensing position. As the blister moves out of the container a notch in the blister card catches on a hook molded into the trap arm not permitting the card to completely leave the container.
