Abstract:
A multi-compartment package for dispensing plural items is disclosed. The package includes plural individual sealed compartment units which are releasably secured to each other. Each compartment unit includes a flanged base from which a chamber depends. The chamber serves to hold an item to be dispensed and is surrounded by a flange. A closure member, in the form of a respective portion of a frangible cover sheet, is adhesively secured to the flange of each compartment unit. Each compartment unit includes at least one foldable tab in a corner of its flange, which can be folded down to enable the closure member to be removed from the compartment unit after the compartment unit is separated from other compartment units of the package.

Claim (Index 1):
A dispensing package for holding an item therein, said package being of square profile and comprising:\n a) a cover sheet comprising a plurality of closure members disposed in an array of at least two rows and two columns, said closure members being releasably secured to one another along first frangible separation lines and being of a square profile; and b) a base member having a plurality of individual compartment units releasably secured to one another and disposed in an array of at least two rows and two columns of compartment units, each compartment unit being of a square profile and comprising a flange and a chamber, said chamber being configured to hold an item therein and having an opening in communication with said chamber, said flange lying in a plane extending around the periphery of said chamber and having four corners, adjacent ones of said compartment units merging together at a respective cruciform shaped frangible separation line extending through said planar member, said cruciform shaped frangible separation line including respective portions of a selected corner of each of said compartment units, said selected corner of each of said compartment units including a fold line contiguous with said cruciform shaped frangible separation line, said flanges of said multi-compartment base being detachably connected along second frangible separation lines connecting said corners so that each compartment unit may be separated from the other compartment units, said cover sheet being configured to be releasably secured to said base member whereupon said first frangible separation lines of said cover sheet are coincident with said second frangible separation lines of said base member and respective ones of said closure members are releasably secured to respective ones of said compartment units to form respective sealed compartment units with an item disposed therein, each of said sealed compartment units being configured to be detached from said other sealed compartment units, whereupon the selected corner of the sealed compartment unit detached from said other sealed compartment units can be folded to enable said closure member to be grasped and removed from said sealed compartment unit to expose the item.
