Abstract
A child-resistant unit does holder includes a blister pack having a plurality of protrusions formed in a sheet and a unit dose disposed in each of the protrusions. The pack is slidably received in a sleeve which covers the protrusions to prevent a unit dose being dispensed from the pack. A releasable detent mechanism prevents slidable removal of the pack from the sleeve, and at least one of the protrusions forms a detent of the detent mechanism.

A child-resistant unit dose holder comprising:
- a pack having a plurality of protrusions formed in a sheet and a unit dose disposed in each of the protrusions,
- a sleeve for slidably receiving the pack, the sleeve covering the protrusions to prevent a unit dose being dispensed from the pack, and
- a releasable detent mechanism preventing slidable removal of the pack from the sleeve, at least one of the protrusions forming a detent of the detent mechanism.
A child-resistant unit dose holder comprising:
- a pack having a plurality of protrusions formed in a sheet, each of the protrusions containing a unit dose and being spaced inwardly from opposed edges of the sheet,
- a sleeve for slidably receiving the pack, the sleeve comprising a flexible planar member having a pair of opposed inwardly extending flanges forming a slot for receiving the opposed edges of the strip, and
- a releasable detent mechanism preventing slidable removal of the pack from the sleeve, the detent mechanism being released in response to flexing of the planar member in a predetermined direction.
