Embodiment Construction

[0012] As used herein, the statement that two or more parts or components are "engaged" with each other shall mean that the parts exert a force on each other, either directly or through one or more intervening parts or components. As used herein, the term "number" shall mean one or an integer greater than one.

[0013] figure 1 is a front isometric view of a container assembly 1 according to one non-limiting embodiment of the disclosed concept. The container assembly 1 includes a container 2 and a device 100 coupled to the container 2 (shown in simplified form in phantom). The container 2 may be used to store pharmaceuticals or diagnostic items, such as and without limitation, pharmaceuticals or diagnostic test strips (eg, for testing a patient's blood glucose level). In one exemplary embodiment, the device 100 is a test strip meter adapted to read a sample sample provided on a diagnostic test strip stored in the container 2 . In another exemplary embodiment, the device 100...

Abstract

A container (2) includes a container body (10) having a base (12), a sidewall (14), and a body extension portion (16), the body extension portion terminates at a body extension outer surface; a lid (40) connected to the container body and that is pivotable to move the container between a closed position and an open position, the lid comprising a cover portion (42) and a lid extension portion (44)extending therefrom and terminating at a lid extension outer surface, the lid extension portion having an underside. The body extension outer surface and the lid extension outer surface are generallyco-planar when the container is in the closed position. The body extension portion has a window (24) configured to provide access to the underside when the container is in the closed position to enable a user to apply upward pressure on the underside to move the container from the closed position to the open position.

Description

technical field [0001] The disclosed concepts relate to containers, such as and not by way of limitation, for storing pharmaceuticals or diagnostic items. The disclosed concepts also relate to container assemblies that include a container and a device coupled to the container. Background technique [0002] Containers are often used to store pharmaceuticals or diagnostic items such as drugs or test strips). For example, flip-top containers typically include a container body containing a pharmaceutical or diagnostic item and a lid connected to the container body by a hinge. Such flip-top containers typically include protrusions extending outwardly from the body of the lid. This protrusion, often referred to as a "thumb tab," aids in opening the container (eg, a patient can grasp the tab or otherwise apply an upward force to the tab to allow the lid to open). However, this feature may be troublesome for the user since the protrusions may potentially be caught by objects when...
