Abstract
The cover is made with two parts that close on each other over a cap on a drug product bottle. Each cover part has a semi-cylindrical periphery, a semi-circular lid and a radially inwardly directed ledge along a bottom edge of the semi-cylindrical periphery to fit under the cap of a bottle in a closed position. The cover parts snap together to lock in place. In one embodiment, the cover cooperates with a handle assembly having a handle of U-shape that is disposed over the cover to prevent separation of the two parts from each other.
Claims23
In combination,
- a drug product bottle having a neck and a screw cap threadably secured to said neck;
- and
- a cover mounted over said screw cap and resting on said neck, said cover having a pair of parts hingedly secured together to move between an open position and a closed position in facing relation to each other to form a cup shape in said closed position;
- each said part having a semi-cylindrical periphery, a semi-circular lid and a radially inwardly directed ledge along a bottom edge of said semi-cylindrical periphery to fit under said screw cap in said closed position.
In combination,
- a drug product bottle having a neck and a screw cap threadably secured to said neck;
- and
- a cover mounted over said screw cap and resting on said neck, said cover having a pair of parts hingedly secured together to move between an open position and a closed position in facing relation to each other to form a cup shape in said closed position;
- each said part having a semi-cylindrical periphery, a semi-circular lid and a radially inwardly directed ledge along a bottom edge of said semi-cylindrical periphery to fit under said screw cap in said closed position;
- and
- a handle assembly including a disc-shaped plate fitted over said neck of said bottle and having a pair of tabs slidably receiving said ledge of one of said parts of said pair of parts to fix said one part in said open position to said plate and a U-shaped handle secured to said plate for movement between a first position extending radially from said plate and a second position extending perpendicularly from said plate.
A cover for mounting over a screw cap on a neck of a drug product bottle, said cover comprising:
- a pair of parts hingedly secured together to move between an open position and a closed position in facing relation to each other to form a cup shape in said closed position;
- each said part having a semi-cylindrical periphery, a semi-circular lid and a radially inwardly directed ledge along a bottom edge of said semi-cylindrical periphery to fit under the cap of the bottle in said closed position;
- a lip projecting from said periphery and said lid of one of said pair of parts for slidable reception within the other part of said pair of parts in said closed position to seal said pair of parts together in face-to-face manner;
- and
- a handle assembly including a disc-shaped plate having a pair of tabs slidably receiving said ledge of one of said parts of said pair of parts to fix said plate to said one part in said open position and a U-shaped handle secured to said plate for movement between a first position extending radially from said plate and a second position extending perpendicularly from said plate.
