Abstract

There is provided herein a dispenser formed of card-based or paper-based material for a product in stick form. The dispenser includes a product stick carrier, an outer sleeve, a product concealing sleeve, a first proximal facing edge, a second proximal facing edge, a first distal facing edge, and a second distal facing edge. The product stick carrier is in the form of a cylindrical tube and includes a product stick support for supporting a product stick in use. The outer sleeve is in the form of a cylindrical tube disposed radially outwardly of the product stick carrier. The product stick carrier is fixed relative to the outer sleeve. The product concealing sleeve is in the form of a cylindrical tube disposed radially inwardly of the outer sleeve and radially outwardly of the product stick carrier. The product concealing sleeve is retractable from a first, fully extended axial position relative to the outer sleeve and product stick carrier for concealing a product stick supported by the product stick support in use in order to expose the product stick. The first and second proximal facing edges and the first and second distal facing edges are disposed radially outwardly of the product stick carrier and radially inwardly of the product concealing sleeve. The first proximal facing edge is fixed with respect to the first distal facing edge and the product stick carrier. The second proximal facing edge is fixed with respect to the second distal facing edge and the product concealing sleeve. The first proximal facing edge and the second distal facing edge cooperate with one another to prevent advancement of the product concealing sleeve relative to the outer sleeve and product stick carrier beyond a set point so as to define the first, fully extended position. The first distal facing edge and the second proximal facing edge cooperate with one another to selectively prevent or allow retraction of the product concealing sleeve from the first, fully extended position, wherein the selection of preventing or allowing retraction is determined by a rotational position of the product concealing sleeve with respect to the product stick carrier.

Abstract

A package includes an outer sleeve and a slider for holding a blister pack slidably mounted within the outer sleeve. The outer sleeve has a locking edge. The slider has a locking flap extending in a direction away from the closed end of the outer sleeve for engagement with the wall of the outer sleeve. The flap has a free edge which provides a pair of locking edges for engagement with the locking edge of the outer sleeve wall. The outer sleeve has a release button which may be pressed to deflect the slider flap away from the wall of the outer sleeve and enable the free edge of the slider flap to slide past the locking edge to allow the slider to be withdrawn from the outer sleeve.

Abstract

A carrier for a blister pack includes a first panel having an opening for movably receiving a blister of the blister pack, and a second panel having one or more dispensing openings aligned with the first panel opening. The first panel and the second panel slidably receive the blister pack there between. The carrier includes a blocking tab between the first and second panels that is selectively moveable between a blocking position and a dispensing position. When the blocking tab is in its blocking position it prevents movement of the blister in the first panel opening into alignment with a dispensing opening, thereby preventing dispensing of the blister's contents through the dispensing opening. When the blocking tab is in the dispensing position, it permits the blister to be moved into alignment with a dispensing opening for dispensing the blister's contents. The blocking tab is connected to a free edge of one of the first and second panels about a fold line, and one of the first and second panels of the blister pack carrier is connected to a panel of a slider.

Abstract

The present invention relates to improved processes for applying barrier coatings for paper substrates, and to paper substrates made by such processes. The processes of the present invention use modified gravure printing to apply coatings comprising polyvinyl alcohol and inorganic particulate material. The barrier coatings help to prevent substances from leaching through to spoil the decorative surfaces of the paper substrates, and/or mitigate the effect of any substances that may leach from the paper substrate.
