ABSTRACT:
A blister type container of the type generally intended for a single dispensing use, the container having a reclosable, securable lid which reinforces the container against accidental dispensing of the contents both before and after an initial use. The invention comprises a blister container including a nozzle portion having a frangible segment for forming a nozzle opening and a lid, wherein the nozzle portion is surrounded by an integrally formed flange member sealingly engaged to a flexible backing strip and having (1) a transverse weakened segment aligned with the frangible segment of the nozzle portion for forming a finger tab for facilitating the breaking of the frangible nozzle segment; and (2) an arcuate cross section in the vicinity of the transverse, weakened segment which cooperates with the flexible backing strip to exert a sealing force on the lid when the lid is placed over the nozzle opening. A substantially flat, rigid element is pivotally connected on a point on the flange for pivotal movement into either a (i) lid securing position for rigidifying the transverse weakened segment of the flange and securing the lid over the nozzle opening; or (ii) a lid opening position away from the transverse weakened segment. When the pivotal element is pivotally connected onto the finger tab portion of the tab, it operates to extend the length of the tab, thereby facilitating the exertion of a shear opening force on the frangible segment of the nozzle portion of the container during an initial use.
