Abstract

A storage unit including a storage sheet having a plurality of compartments for storing a component therein, each compartment having a length and a first tear guide line located on the storage sheet. The storage unit further includes a second tear guide line located on the storage sheet. The first and second tear guide lines each have a length greater than a length of each compartment, and the first tear guide line is more easily torn than the second tear guide line.

Claims (20)

1. A storage unit comprising:
a storage sheet having a plurality of compartments for storing a component therein, each comportment having a length;
a first tear guide line located on said storage sheet; and a second tear guide line located on said storage sheet, said first and second tear guide lines each having a length greater than a length of each compartment;
and wherein said first tear guide line is more easily torn than said second tear guide line.
2. The storage unit of claim 1 wherein said first tear guide line and said second tear guide line are both perforation lines.
3. The storage unit of claim 2 wherein a ratio of cut-to-land of said first tear guide line is greater than a ratio of cut-to-land of said second tear guide line.
4. The storage unit of claim 3 wherein said cut-to-land ratio of said first tear guide line is at least about twice as large as said cut-to-land ratio of said second tear guide line.
5. The storage unit of claim 1 wherein said plurality of components are medication units.
6. The storage unit of claim 1 wherein said first tear guide line is a perimeter tear guide line forming a generally closed shape, and wherein said components are located inside of said generally closed shape.
7. The unit of claim 1 said second tear guide line is an interior tear guide line extending between at least two of said components.
8. The storage unit of claim 7 including a plurality of second tear guide lines located between each adjacent one of said plurality of components such that each component can be separated from the other components of said storage sheet.
9. The storage unit of claim 1 wherein said storage sheet includes an outer perimeter and has an access edge formed therein and at least partially spaced apart from said outer perimeter, and wherein said access edge intersects at least one of said first or second tear guide lines such that said access edge provides access for manually tearing said perimeter tear guide line.
10. A storage unit comprising:
a storage sheet having a plurality of compartments for storing a component therein, said storage sheet having an outer perimeter and an access edge formed therein that is at least partially spaced apart from said outer parameter; and a tear guide line located on said storage sheet and wherein said tear guide line intersects said access edge such that said access edge provides access for tearing said tear guide line.
11. The storage unit of chum 10 wherein said access edge is entirely spaced apart from said outer perimeter.
12. The storage unit of claim 10 wherein said access edge defines as opening large enough that a user can insert at least a tip of a finger into said opening to tear said tear guide line.
13. The storage unit of claim 10 wherein said access edge is located generally above said plurality of components and is generally horizontally centered on said storage unit to provide a hanger opening.
14. The storage unit of claim 10 said storage sheet includes an access opening formed therethrough which defines said access edge.
15. The storage unit of claim 10 wherein said tear guide line is a perforation line having a plurality of slits and wherein said access opening is larger than a slit of said tear guide line.
16. The storage unit of claim 10 wherein said storage sheet lacks any tear guide lines that intersect said outer perimeter.
17. The storage unit of claim 10 wherein said tear guide line is a perimeter tear guide line which forms a generally closed shape and said plurality of components are located inside of said generally closed shape.
18. The storage unit of claim 17 further including an interior tear guide line located on said storage sheet and extending between at least two of said components, and wherein said perimeter tear guide line is more easily torn than said interior tear guide line.
19. The storage unit of claim 10 wherein said storage sheet includes a containment sheet and a rupture sheet, and wherein each component is located between said containment sheet and said rupture sheet, and wherein component can be separated from said storage sheet by manually pressing each component through said rupture sheet.
20. The storage unit of claim 10 wherein said containment sheet includes a plurality of storage compartments, each storage compartment generally closely receiving a medication unit therein.
