Encapsulated blister package

Abstract

The invention relates to an encapsulated blister package, which is especially a medicine package containing tablets ( 8 ) or pills. The package has the flat outer casing ( 1 ), most preferably made of cardboard, and the inner part ( 2 ) partly extractable from it, the inner part comprising the disc ( 7 ) formed as a blister package moutned rotatably onto the base ( 5 ). The base has an outlet opening or similar so that the tablet that has been brought to the opening by rotating the disc, can be pressed out of the disc and removed from the package through the opening.

       12 . Package according to one of the claims  1 - 10 , characterised in that the extractable inner part ( 2 ) comprises a base ( 5 ) and a projection ( 20 ) extending from its side ( 10 ) above the disc ( 7 ) for keeping the disc in place on the base.  
   
   
       13 . Package according to  claim 12 , characterised in that the disc ( 7 ) rests freely on the base ( 5 ) so that it can be rotated by fingers.
