Embodiment Construction

[0005]FIG. 1 shows an exemplary embodiment of an expandable sample tray 100 according to the present invention. The tray 100 may be sized and shaped to contain boxes, blister packs, medicament delivery devices, test strips, literature, or any other item which might be provided by a healthcare provider to a patient or a physician.

[0006]In an exemplary embodiment, the tray 100 comprises a base 105, a first sidewall 110, a second sidewall 115, and a rear wall 120. Disposed on the first sidewall 110 is a notch 125. The notch 125 may have at least one recess portion 130. Disposed on the second sidewall 115 is a latch 135. The latch 135 may have at least one flange portion 140 adapted to releasably engage the at least one recess portion 130 on an adjacent tray. Thus, the notch 125 and the latch 135 provide a mechanism to releasably link adjacent trays. While the notch 125 and the latch 135 are shown in the exemplary embodiments on a top portion of the sidewalls 110 and 115, those of skill...

Abstract

Described is a sample tray comprising a first sidewall, a first rearwall section coupled to the first sidewall, a first base section coupled to the first sidewall, the first base section disposed approximately perpendicular to the first sidewall, a second sidewall, a second rearwall section coupled to the second sidewall, and a second base section coupled to the second sidewall, the second base section disposed approximately perpendicular to the second sidewall. The first rearwall section is telescopically coupled to the second rearwall section, and the first base section is telescopically coupled to the second base section.

Description

BACKGROUND[0001]Healthcare providers typically provide sample medicaments, delivery devices, literature, etc. for patients and physicians. However, physicians' office facilities are generally ill-equipped to store the samples in an easily accessible and organized manner.[0002]Therefore, there exists a need for an expandable sample tray and storage system to provide a scalable means for organizing samples.SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION[0003]In an exemplary embodiment, a sample tray according to the present invention comprises a first sidewall, a first rearwall section coupled to the first sidewall, and a first base section coupled to the first sidewall, wherein the first base section disposed approximately perpendicular to the first sidewall, in combination with a second sidewall, a second rearwall section coupled to the second sidewall, and a second base section coupled to the second sidewall, wherein the second base section disposed approximately perpendicular to the second sidewall. The...
