Description
Tamper Evident Closure Container Background of the Invention Success rates with respect to action taken in response to an emergency situation almost always improve with proper preparation, access to the proper equipment, and speed. This could not be more true than in the case of providing a dose of fluid (e.g., epinephrine to a patient experiencing a severe or life-threatening allergic reaction (anaphylaxis)). According to the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, early treatment with epinephrine is beneficial to patients having an anaphylactic episode because the patient could experience a rapid decline in health or death within 30 to 60 minutes.
Such early treatment may also be beneficial in patients experiencing seizure activity.
In addition to quick administration of treatment, accurate dosing is crucial because not enough medicine may be ineffective and too much may cause health risks, such as dangerously high blood pressure, stroke, or death. During an anaphylactic event, for example, a health provider may need a larger or smaller dose depending on the size or age of the patient and fumbling with a vial and a needle may add precious seconds before treatment and potential dosing errors.
Further, sterilization is important whenever it
Such early treatment may also be beneficial in patients experiencing seizure activity.
In addition to quick administration of treatment, accurate dosing is crucial because not enough medicine may be ineffective and too much may cause health risks, such as dangerously high blood pressure, stroke, or death.

instead being configured simply to cover the other casing member 200,100.
Looking back to Figure 1 and also to Figures 4-9, the closure container 10 is depicted in from various views with the syringe 50 positioned within the container 10 and the fastener 118 engaged with the second casing member 200. As shown, when the container 10 is in a closed position, the fastener 118 preferably resides substantially within the recess 262, with the barb 128 received within the slot 268.
The material from which the closure container 10 is formed is preferably initially transparent. The window 110 is preferably formed by covering the area in which the window 110 will be located, treating at least the outer surfaces 106,206 of the first casing member 100 and the second casing member 200, respectively, to decrease the transparency of those surfaces, and removing the covering to reveal the window 110. The treatment may be performed by any process now known or later discovered, including but not limited to, chemical etching, mechanical etching (e.g., sand blasting), or during the molding process using textured dies.
Continuing to look at Figure 1, a syringe 50 can be viewed through the window 110 in a pre-set dosage configuration, ready for use. The window 110 is preferably located at least radially outward from the barrel 64 of the syringe 50 to provide a care provider with a view of the

The treatment may be performed by any process now known or later discovered, including but not limited to, chemical etching, mechanical etching (e.g., sand blasting), or during the molding process using textured dies.
Continuing to look at Figure 1, a syringe 50 can be viewed through the window 110 in a pre-set dosage configuration, ready for use. The window 110 is preferably located at least radially outward from the barrel 64 of the syringe 50 to provide a care provider with a view of the
- 11 -syringe 50 and preferably the dosage amount provided in the barrel 64 without having to open the closure container 10.
Directing attention to Figures 16-19, the installation of the syringe 50 into the container 10 is shown. Figure 16 illustrates the syringe 50 with a predetermined dosage provided in the barrel 64 prior to placement within the second casing member 200; however, the syringe 50 may be placed within the first casing member 100 as well, as shown in Figure 17.
Looking to Figure 17, with reference to Figure 16, the flange 60 of the syringe 50 is placed within the retainer 140 of the first casing member 100 with a portion of the barrel 64 received by the notch 144 of the first wall 142 and another portion of the barrel 64 received by the notch 138 of the bridge 136. Preferably, the distance 150 between the first and second walls 142,146 of the retainer 140 (Figure 10) is preferably slightly greater than the thickness 62 of the syringe flange 60.
The top 54 of the plunger 52 has a topside surface 56 and an underside surface 58. When installed within the container 10, the underside surface 58 of the syringe top 54 preferably resides against or near the outermost side 158 of the respective dosing rib 152. The placement of the flange 60 within the retainer 140 and the top 54 against the dosing rib 152 reduces the likelihood that the syringe 50 will be accidentally discharged prior to use.
Figure 18 illustrates the closing of the container 10 with the first and second casing members 100,200 rotating about the hinge 12 (Figure 17) and adjoining the first casing member peripheral edge portion 116 (Figure 17) with the second casing member peripheral edge portion 216 (Figure 17). The barrel 64 of the syringe 50 is thereby also received within the bridge notch 238, the retainer 240, and the respective dosing rib notch 254

The barrel 64 of the syringe 50 is thereby also received within the bridge notch 238, the retainer 240, and the respective dosing rib notch 254
- 12 -of the second casing member 200 (see Figure 17).
Looking to Figures 19 and 20, the engagement of the fastener 118 is shown. The fastener 118 is wrapped around the outside surface 206 of the second casing member 200 within the recess 262. The barb 128 is engageably received within the slot 268 to retain the fastener 118 in the engaged position.
When the time comes for the syringe 50 to be removed from the container 10, the health care personnel will pull the tamper-evident pull-tab 130 away from the container 10 which will tear through the fastener 118 and sever the fastener's connection between the first and second casing members 100,200, thus allowing the container 10 to be opened and the syringe 50 to be removed.
Removal of the tamper-evident pull-tab 130 permanently detaches at least a portion of the fastener 118 from the first casing member 100 when pulled to gain access to the syringe 50. Therefore, tampering with the fastener 118 or the tamper-evident pull-tab in an attempt to gain access to the syringe 50 will be visibly noticeable by a tear in the fastener 118.
Figures 21 and 22 demonstrate how multiple containers 10A,10B,10C may be stacked one on top of the other.
As shown in greater detail in Figure 22, a mateable stacking interaction between a catch 112A and a hole 260B is shown. The interaction allows the containers 10A, 10B to be removably interlocked. The catch 112A, along with the other three catches (not shown), of the first container 10A are inserted within the holes 260B of the second container 10B and the containers 10A,10B, are slid in opposite directions relative to one another to place the arm 114A of the first container 10A adjacent to the inner surface 232B of the second container second casing member 200B.

Figure 23 illustrates a second embodiment 20 of the closure container according to the present invention.
The closure container 20 has tabs 470 projecting from the planar portion 408 of the second casing member outer surface 406 and apertures 390 (Figure 24) provided through the planar portion 308 of the first casing member outer surface 306. The apertures 390 are alignable and mateable with the tabs 470 of a corresponding closure container 20.
Each tab 470 has a width 472 (Figure 24), an inward face 476, and an outward face 480. The tabs 470 preferably extend substantially perpendicular away from the outside surface planar portion 408 and comprise a protuberance 478, or similarly shaped protrusion, on the inward face 476 at or near the distal end portion 482 (Figure 25) of each tab 470. Alternatively, it is contemplated that the protuberance 478 may protrude from the outward face 480.
The apertures 390 have a width 392 and an abutting surface 396. The width 392 of the apertures 390 is preferably slightly greater than the width 472 of the tabs 470.
Figures 24 and 25 demonstrate how multiple containers 20A,20B,20C may be stacked by inserting the tabs 470B of a second container 20B within the apertures 390A
of a first container 20B. This action is depicted by the dashed lines in Figure 24. In this fashion, stacking of these embodiments 20 require only a singular directional movement, rather than the compound movement that may be utilized to stack cases according to the first embodiment 10.
