Abstract
Abstract A resealable blister package wherein the top planar surface of the blister package assembly is divided into first and second portions by means of a transverse concave indentation formed integrally therein. The first or lower portion of the blister package assembly is permanently attached to a planar base surface, with the second or upper portion being attached at its flanges by use of a resealable adhesive.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 11
Claim 1
Independent Claim
188 words
A resealable package comprising: a planar base surface; a top planar surface having opposing sides and opposing ends, said top planar surface further having a concave indentation formed therein and extending transversely across said top planar surface from side to side so as to form a first portion of said top planar surface on one side of the concave indentation and a second portion of said top planar surface on the other side; a pair of first portion opposing side walls and an interconnecting end wall, for holding the top planar surface in spaced relationship to the planar base surface, extending out from the sides and end of the first portion of the top planar surface; means for permanently attaching said first portion side walls and end wall to the planar base surface; a pair of second portion opposing side walls and an interconnecting end wall, for attachment to the planar base surface, extending out from the sides and end of the second portion of said top planar surface; and means for removably attaching said second portion opposing side walls and end wall to the planar base surface.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
188 words
A resealable package comprising: a planar base surface; a top planar surface having opposing sides and opposing ends, said top planar surface further having a concave indentation formed therein and extending transversely across said top planar surface from side to side so as to form a first portion of said top planar surface on one side of the concave indentation and a second portion of said top planar surface on the other side; a pair of first portion opposing side walls and an interconnecting end wall, for holding the top planar surface in spaced relationship to the planar base surface, extending out from the sides and end of the first portion of the top planar surface; means for permanently attaching said first portion side walls and end wall to the planar base surface; a pair of second portion opposing side walls and an interconnecting end wall, for attachment to the planar base surface, extending out from the sides and end of the second portion of said top planar surface; and means for removably attaching said second portion opposing side walls and end wall to the planar base surface.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
48 words
The resealable blister package assembly of claim 1 wherein the means for attaching the first portion side walls and end wall to the planar base surface further comprises a first attachment flange circumvolving the first portion side walls and interconnecting end wall, attached to the planar base surface.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
58 words
The resealable blister package assembly of claim 1 wherein the means for removably attaching said second portion opposing side walls and end wall to the planar base surface comprises: a second attachment flange circumvolving said second portion opposing side walls and end wall; and a reusable adhesive for attaching said second attachment flange to the planar base surface.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
58 words
The resealable blister package assembly of claim 2 wherein the means for removably attaching said second portion opposing side walls and end wall to the planar base surface comprises: a second attachment flange circumvolving said second portion opposing side walls and end wall; and a reusable adhesive for attaching said second attachment flange to the planar base surface.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
44 words
The resealable blister package assembly of claim 1 wherein said first and second portion opposing side walls each have notches formed therein in juxtaposed relationship to each other and adjacent to the side edges of the concave indentation formed in the top planar surface.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
37 words
the resealable blister package assembly of claim 1 wherein said second portion opposing side walls each have arcuately shaped slits formed therein adjacent to the side edges of the concave indentation formed in the top planar surface.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
37 words
The resealable blister package assembly of claim 1 wherein said top planar surface, said first and second portion end and side walls, and first and second attachment flanges are formed of a glycol modified polyethylene terephthalate material.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
214 words
A resealable package comprising: a planar base surface; a top planar surface having opposing sides and opposing ends, said top planar surface further having a concave indentation formed therein and extending transversely across said top planar surface from side to side so as to form a first portion of said top planar surface on one side of the concave indentation and a second portion of said top planar surface on the other side; a pair of first portion opposing side walls and an interconnecting end wall for holding the top planar surface in spaced relationship to the planar base surface extending out from the sides and end of the first portion of the top planar surface; a first attachment flange circumvolving the first portion side walls and interconnecting end wall, attached to the planar base surface; means for permanently attaching said first attachment flange to the planar base surface; a pair of second portion opposing side walls and an interconnecting end wall for attachment to the planar base surface extending out from the sides and end of the second portion of said top planar surface; a second attachment flange circumvolving said second portion opposing side walls and end wall; and a reusable adhesive for attaching said second attachment flange to the planar base surface.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
214 words
A resealable package comprising: a planar base surface; a top planar surface having opposing sides and opposing ends, said top planar surface further having a concave indentation formed therein and extending transversely across said top planar surface from side to side so as to form a first portion of said top planar surface on one side of the concave indentation and a second portion of said top planar surface on the other side; a pair of first portion opposing side walls and an interconnecting end wall for holding the top planar surface in spaced relationship to the planar base surface extending out from the sides and end of the first portion of the top planar surface; a first attachment flange circumvolving the first portion side walls and interconnecting end wall, attached to the planar base surface; means for permanently attaching said first attachment flange to the planar base surface; a pair of second portion opposing side walls and an interconnecting end wall for attachment to the planar base surface extending out from the sides and end of the second portion of said top planar surface; a second attachment flange circumvolving said second portion opposing side walls and end wall; and a reusable adhesive for attaching said second attachment flange to the planar base surface.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
37 words
The resealable blister package assembly of claim 7 wherein said top planar surface, said first and second portion end and side walls, and first and second attachment flanges are formed of a glycol modified polyethylene terephthalate material.
