Abstract
A packaging for a product comprising a support having a first side and a second side and a first edge and a second edge, the support defining one or more indents; and a retainer extending from the support and including an engagement surface, the retainer having a first position wherein the engagement surface cooperates with the one or more indents to define a cavity between the retainer and the first side of the support and a second position wherein the engagement surface is withdrawn from the one or more indents, and the retainer is configured to engage the product within the cavity in the first position and disengage the product within the cavity in the second position.
Claims19
A packaging for a product comprising:
- a support having a first side and a second side, the first and second sides extending laterally between a first edge and an opposing second edge and longitudinally between a proximal end and a distal end, the support defining a first indent and a second indent, the first indent extending inwardly from the first edge toward a first shoulder and the second indent extending inwardly from the second edge toward a second shoulder, wherein the first shoulder opposes the second shoulder;
- and
- an elastomeric retainer formed continuously with and connected to and extending from the support at two separate locations and including an engagement surface, the retainer configured to adopt a first position wherein the engagement surface cooperates with the first shoulder and the second shoulder to define a cavity between the retainer and the first side of the support and a second position wherein the engagement surface no longer cooperates with the first shoulder and the second shoulder, the retainer configured to hold the product within the cavity in the first position and release the product from the cavity in the second position,
- wherein the retainer includes a base affixed to the support and a band extending from the base, the band being configured to press the product against the first side of the support.

- a retainer extending from the support and including an engagement surface, the retainer configured to adopt a first position wherein the engagement surface cooperates with the one or more indents to define a cavity between the retainer and the first side of the support and a second position wherein the engagement surface no longer cooperates with the one or more indents, the retainer configured to hold the product within the cavity in the first position and release the product from the cavity in the second position,
- wherein the retainer includes a base affixed to the support and a band extending from the base, the band being configured to press the product against the first side of the support, and
- the base includes an engagement surface and the band is configured to pass over an end of the support thereby transitioning the retainer between a first position in which the engagement surface cooperates with the one or more indents and the support engagement surface to define a cavity between the retainer and the first side of the support and a second position in which the engagement surface no longer cooperates with the one or more indents and the support engagement surface.
