Abstract
A device for pressing of tablets from a blister pack. The device has a base plate and a cover plate. When closed, the two plates connected to each other by a hinge are superimposed in such a manner that openings in the cover plate are arranged substantially over openings in the base plate. The base plate is arranged using fins at a distance from a datum plane. Supporting bumps and embossed edges form a support plane on which the blister pack rests with the cover film thereof, for facilitating punching through the cover film when pressure is exerted on bumps of the deep-drawn plastic film of the blister pack. Tabs with corresponding locking noses lock the device. The device also allows disabled patients to remove the tablets required from the blister pack without further assistance.
