1. A child-resistant compact for dispensing product on blister cards, which includes:
- a first portion having a first panel hinged to a first clamp for capturing an end of a first blister card, a base wall, sidewalls extending along the base wall, and an endwall extending between said sidewalls,a second portion having a second panel hinged to a second clamp for capturing an end of a second blister card,means connecting said first and second clamps to each other such that said first and second panels form a closable cavity for enclosing the blister cards,at least one child-resistant latch on peripheries of said first and second panels for opening one or both of said panels with respect to said clamps for access to blister cards captured by said clamps, wherein said at least one child-resistant latch includes a first latch opposite said clamps including a latch arm extending from said base wall of said first portion and disposed in a gap in said end wall;
a reinforcing wall integral with said base wall and said end wall and spaced from said end wall adjacent to said latch arm to strengthen said first panel against bending upon activation of said latch arm; and
at least one reinforcing rib extending between said latch arm and said reinforcing wall to strengthen said latch arm.

Abstract
A child-resistant compact for dispensing product on blister cards includes a first portion having a first panel hinged to a first clamp for capturing an end of a first blister card, and a second portion having a second panel hinged to a second clamp for capturing an end of a second blister card. The first and second clamps are connected to each other such that the first and second panels form a chamber for enclosing the blister cards. At least one child-resistant latch is on the periphery of the panels for opening one or both panels with respect to the clamps for access to the blister cards.
