A child-resistant blister package. The package has a top face, a bottom face, and a periphery. The package also has a protection layer with a top face, a bottom face and a periphery; a blister layer with one or more cavities; and an access layer with a top face, a bottom face, and a periphery. The bottom face of the access layer has a line of weakness that allows the unit dose to be removed from the cavity in one-step by applying a force to the top of the cavity and pressing the unit dose through the line of weakness. The bottom face of the protection layer and the top face of the access layer are permanently joined along substantially the entire periphery of the package. The blister package can also contain a tear resistant layer.

A dispensing device for dispensing dry bait includes a first tube that comprises a top, a bottom and a wall. The top is open and the bottom is closed. The wall extends from the bottom to the top defining an interior space. An opening is positioned in the wall proximate to the bottom. A closure is coupled to the wall and is positioned to reversibly cover the opening. A partition is positioned in the interior space and coupled to the wall proximate to a lower edge of the opening. The device comprises a plug that is complementary to the top. The top is configured such that items are insertable into the interior space. The plug is insertable into the top to contain the items. The closure is positioned in the wall such that the items are accessible to a user through the opening.

Implementations described and claimed herein involve systems and methods for facilitating coin hopper maintenance. In one implementation, a top plate is received in a bucket assembly of the coin hopper at a proximal end. The top plate seals one or more coins in an interior of the bucket assembly. The coin hopper is positioned in an inverted orientation by meeting a target surface with the top plate. The inverted orientation positions the bucket assembly at a distal end near the target surface and a base assembly at the proximal end. A hopper dispenser is disengaged from the base assembly of the coin hopper.

A packaged product including a container, wherein the container includes an internal compartment and an opening and at least two flexible water-soluble unit dose articles held within the internal compartment, wherein the unit dose articles are positioned side-by-side to form a single row of unit dose articles within the container, and wherein the container includes a gripping means located between the internal compartment and the opening and wherein the gripping means is suitable to grip one unit dose article at a time and move it from the internal compartment to the opening when the gripping means is activated by a user.

A packaged product including a container, wherein the container includes a first compartment, a second compartment and an external opening, wherein the container includes at least two flexible water-soluble unit dose articles, wherein the first compartment and the second compartment are connected via an internal opening, wherein the internal opening includes a first removable blocking means between the first and second compartments; and a second removable blocking means is located between the second compartment and the external opening; wherein the first blocking means is sufficient to prevent a water-soluble unit dose article from passing through the internal opening and the second blocking means is sufficient to prevent a water-soluble unit dose article from passing through the external opening.

A pill dispenser is provided with a floor, a rotor rotatably coupled adjacent the floor, a base coupled to the rotor, and an indexing mechanism coupled to the rotor to index the rotor in a rotational direction relative to the base to a plurality of index positions. The floor is adapted to be coupled to a shell to define an inner cavity for receiving pills. The floor has a funneled opening extending therethrough. The rotor has a plurality of pill receptacles extending from a top surface to a bottom surface and a plurality of corresponding separation ramps. Each separation ramp extends from the top surface downward to connect with one side of the corresponding pill receptacle. In each of the index positions, one of the pill receptacles aligns with an exit of the funneled opening and another of the pill receptacles aligns with a pill-dispense opening of the base.

A medication storage and dispensing device having a biometric sensor to restrict access to the medication stored within. The device is locked to prevent access and includes tamper resistance features to prevent unauthorized access to the medication stored within. The device has wireless connection features that allow monitoring by medical professionals.

A solid dosage preparation is provided with a bottle of water. The solid dosage preparation is contained in a safe and sanitary blister package and attached by means of a shrink band to the closure of the bottle. The shrink band provides a tamper-indicating seal for the both the bottle and blister contents. An advantage of the design is that it does not require customization of bottle and closure tooling, and thereby provides a simple and cost-effective means for combining solid and liquid materials in a unitary package. An additional advantage is the robustness of the tamper-indicating system and methodology.
