Abstract
A reclosable blister package wherein the top planar surface of the blister package assembly is divided into first and second portions by a transverse concave indentation formed integrally therein. The first or lower portion of the blister package assembly is permanently attached to a planar base backing surface, with the second or upper portion being attached to the backing at its flanges by a resealable adhesive and a tab and slot, or a "button" and "hole", or a reusable attachment label. Tamper indication is provided by a tamper evident lable which is damaged upon opening, and which may have an easy-open pull string, or is provided by spot seals in the flanges in the second or upper portion.
Claims10
A reclosable package comprising:
- a planar base surface without any hinges;
- a top planar surface having opposing sides and opposing ends, said top planar surface further having a concave indentation formed therein and extending transversely across said top planar surface from side to side so as to form a first portion of said top planar surface on one side of the concave indentation and a second portion of said top planar surface on the other side;
- a pair of first portion opposing side walls and an interconnecting end wall, for holding the top planar surface in spaced relationship to the planar base surface, and for attachment to the planar base surface, extending out from the sides and end of the first portion of the top planar surface;
- means for permanently attaching said first portion side walls and end wall to the planar base surface;
- a pair of second portion opposing side walls and an interconnecting end wall, for holding the top planar surface in spaced relationship to the planar base surface and for attachment to the planar base surface, extending out from the sides and end of the second portion of said top planar surface;
- means for removably attaching said second portion opposing side walls and end wall to the planar base surface which comprises:
- an attachment flange circumvolving said second portion opposing side walls and end wall, having a tab portion;
- and
- a slot in said planar base surface, able to receive said tab portion;
- and
- tamper evident sealing means, sealing said planar base surface to said means for removably attaching said second portion opposing side walls and end walls thereto, which is permanently altered when the package is first opened.
