Disposable covers for articles including stethoscopes are configured in such a way as to reduce the likelihood of the transmission of microbes among the patient; the stethoscope, medical device or other article; and the user/care-provider.

A transparent container for holding an article made of a precious metal is disclosed. The container includes a body made of a transparent material. The body includes an interior. The body comprises a closure mechanism sealed with heat to the body to prevent air from entering the body. The body includes a first section and a second section. The first section is wider and positioned above the second section. The second section becomes narrower as it goes down towards the bottom of the body. The interior receives an article made of precious metal. The closure mechanism closes and prevents air from entering the interior and keeps the article from getting tarnished. In one example, edges of the body are sealed with heat to form the body as a single unit.

Aspects of the present disclosure involve packaging and methods of producing a package for a circular disc. In a first embodiment, the flat, semi-rigid, circular material may be folded to encase the storage disc. One or more flaps of the circular packaging may be folded to encase the storage disc within the packaging. In another embodiment, the foldable flaps of the circular packaging may create a hexagon base to provide six points of contact with the encased storage disc to retain the disc securely within the packaging. The packaging may be constructed from such materials as cardboard, paper, semi-rigid plastic, or the like. In some implementations, the packaging material may be rigid and include one or more hinges to allow the flaps to fold over the storage disc to protect a storage disc through packaging of various shapes.

A process for making a puzzle includes the step of cutting puzzle pieces from a sheet of material and subsequently printing an image on the cut pieces. The resulting puzzle is far more durable than a conventional jigsaw puzzle and because of the process used to make it also benefits from the ability to replace individual pieces if lost. The puzzle is packaged intact in a packaging sleeve assembly designed to durably and aesthetically package the puzzle.

A container for a tab lead includes a main body part configured to contain a plurality of tab leads and a cover part configured to cover the main body part. The main body part has a pocket that has an inverted quadrangular pyramidal trapezoid shape having a bottom surface and four side surfaces, in which an area of an opening at an upper end of the pocket is larger than an area of the bottom surface. The pocket is configured such that a volume of a region occupied by portions, which are below an upper end of an insulating films of the plurality of tab leads, of the plurality of tab leads in a state in which the plurality of tab leads are contained in the pocket is included within a range of 70% to 90% of a volume of the pocket.

A packaging system for the storage of an ophthalmic device is disclosed. The packaging system includes a sealed container containing one or more unused ophthalmic devices immersed in an aqueous packaging solution that includes ectoine or an ophthalmologically acceptable ectoine derivative. The aqueous packaging solution has an osmolality of at least about 150 mOsm/kg, a pH of about 6 to about 9 and is sterilized.

The present invention relates to improved contact lens packages and methods of use and manufacture/assembly. A contact lens package houses a contact lens and packaging solution and is configured to lift the contact lens out of the packaging solution when force is applied to a lever of the package and/or when the package is squeezed by the user.

A method of selectively controlling movement of a contact lens in blister packaging comprising a cavity, the method comprising depositing an electric charge at a location in the cavity, securing the contact lens to the blister packaging at the location with the electric charge, and after the step of securing the contact lens, injecting a lens hydrating liquid into the cavity whereby the lens is hydrated and the securing terminated. A method of selectively controlling movement of a contact lens in blister packaging comprising a cavity, the method comprising depositing a droplet of a first lens hydrating liquid in the cavity, securing the contact lens to the blister packaging with the droplet, and after the step of securing the contact lens, injecting a second lens hydrating liquid into the cavity whereby the lens is hydrated.

A funnel storage system includes a housing which defines a funnel storage chamber with an access opening, a cover, a funnel retention mechanism, and a containment tray. The cover is detachably coupled to the housing across the access opening. The funnel retention mechanism is coupled to the housing in the funnel storage chamber and is configured to detachably retain one or more funnels within the funnel storage chamber in the housing. The containment tray is slidably engaged within another opening to the housing adjacent a floor of the funnel storage chamber.

A packed roof window product wherein a plurality of diferently sized window product related components are packed in a box and one of the components is carried by a side wall of the box.
