The embodiment illustrating comprises for the batch package to user's delivery of solids peroral dosage form.Solid oral dosage form can include but not limited to: edible diaphragm, tablet, rhombus agent and capsule.In one embodiment, product is edible diaphragm.In another embodiment, edible diaphragm is regular shape; General size can be to be for example of a size of 25mm * 35mm.The batch package of the embodiment illustrating can be essentially regular parallelepiped, for example: the embodiment illustrating is the rectangular parallelepiped protrusion part with rounded edges and turning, and relative thin, so that this packing can easily be contained in pocket or hand baggage.Edible film sheet is stacked on the pallet that is arranged in batch package.Batch package comprises two pallets, in every one end of packing, arranges one.
Pallet skids off from every one end of packing.In one embodiment, each pallet splendid attire is the edible diaphragm of 25 nearly, more preferably approximately 10 every pallets of edible diaphragm.Batch package shown in Figure 21 can have 20 edible diaphragms alternatively: 10, each pallet.
In order to unpack, with two buttons 376 and 378 that are arranged in the middle part of pack, a pallet is skidded off.Button is attached to controls the breech lock 342,344 that prevents child mechanism.Press and hold button, a pallet (or drawer) is pushed to approximately 1 inwards simultaneously and unpack to 2mm.When promoting inwards, pallet discharges, and pallet is outwards moved from batch package housing.When pallet discharges, user manually slide tray further opens, to take product.
Package design becomes once only can touch a pallet.When a pallet is opened to user, another pallet lock fixes in packing.
When pallet is opened, user can discharge two buttons 376 and 378.When discharging, due to the elastic-restoring force of elasticity (compliant) packing ring, button outwards moves breech lock, turns back to its reference position.For closed package, user can slide into the pallet of opening in case lid.In the illustrated embodiment, when being placed in packing completely, pallet can be concordant with case lid.Pallet pushing can be exceeded to concordant 1 to 2mm.When in the close position, pallet locks onto in packing again, and can not again open, until repeat above-mentioned steps order.
In the illustrated embodiment, batch package comprises five parts: case lid, two identical sidepiece buttons with breech lock, and two identical product trays.
Batch package is designed to protect product, avoids it and is exposed to moisture.Batch package as shown in the figure can have the sealing member being formed between product tray and case lid, and can have the sealing member being formed between button and case lid alternatively.Batch package (at pallet after open and close) in service life process can re-establish these sealings.This resealable is designed to up to 50 ON/OFF every pallet that circulates.In one embodiment, under the condition of 22 ℃/80%RH (relative humidity), sealing member has and was less than for 2000 microgram every days, preferably be less than the moisture ingress rate of 1500 microgram every days---by test method below, determined: (a) molecular sieve of approximately a gram is placed in container, and records weight; (b) closed resealable mechanism; (c) container of sealing is placed in the environmental chamber under the condition of 80% relative humidity and 22 ℃; (c) after one day, the container that holds molecular sieve is weighed; (d) after about two weeks, this container is weighed; (e) from institute's value, deduct the sample of first day, and divided by number of days, carrying out unit of account is the microgram water moisture that enters container of every day.
Pallet component comprises three parts: (1) product tray, and (2) elastomeric gasket material (also as button) at one end, and (3) take the product lid of product for part restriction.
Product tray is as storing gas, the edible diaphragm of arranging with stack manner with splendid attire.Product tray can have tilting zone alternatively, so that take out a slice edible diaphragm from described stacking diaphragm.Tilting zone is auxiliary separated with described stacking diaphragm by top membrane.Conventionally, user is placed on finger on the top of edible film sheet pile, and towards the tilting zone described top membrane of sliding.Product tray can only consist of a kind of material (being polyethylene or polypropylene), maybe can be combined with living polymer (being desiccant plastic), to control the moisture grade in product.In one embodiment, product tray is manufactured with double injection molding technique: outside by thermoplastic base resin (being polypropylene or polyethylene) moulding, inner (tilting zone) is molded and shaped by desiccant plastic.Desiccant plastic material is for example in U.S. Patent No. 5,911,937; No.6,080,350; No.6,130,263; No.6,174,952; No.6,214,255; No.6,486,261; And No.7, to describe to some extent in 005,459, described patent is incorporated herein by reference.
Elastomeric gasket material is arranged on one end of product tray.Existence is positioned at two protrusions on gasket materials opposite side.With reference to Figure 24, shorter protrusion can have slit at the middle part of this protrusion alternatively.Longer protrusion can have fish prong like along a side of protrusion alternatively.Shorter protrusion and bolt lock mechanism interact.Longer protrusion extends in relative pallet, and prevents that two pallets from opening simultaneously.
Product tray can have lid alternatively, and its part extends in tray top top.Lid can be independent parts manufacture, or manufacture integratedly with product tray.As a body component, this can be hinged to product tray.In one embodiment, product tray and lid are with the moulding of injection forming process.Before filling product, lid is not assemblied in the over top of pallet.Lid can hingedly connect at open position.After product is filled in pallet, cover rotatable closure and locks in place.When closure, lid can not be removed.
Packing ring plays two effects: (1) provides sealing between case lid and product tray, and (2) provide screen resilience when user pushes inward moving product tray.In packaging operation process, user applies power inwards to the pallet in gasket materials.
Packing ring can be independent parts or manufacture in the mode of one with product tray.In one embodiment, packing ring is with the moulding together with product tray of double injection molding technique.Packing ring can consist of thermoplastic elastomer (TPE).Suitable TPE is the material with good moisture transmission rates, and is the material that is easy to be combined with the thermoplastic base resin for product tray (compatible with it).
Push-button latch and product tray are assembled in case lid.Each push-button latch has hook structure feature at its far-end.When button is assembled in case lid, hook is interlocked, and prevents that push-button latch is from this packing removal.Button is for preventing the integral type parts of child mechanism in packing.In make position, when button is not pressed, breech lock prevents that product tray from opening.Slit lug shorter in product tray can have along far-end and be assemblied in the protrusion on breech lock alternatively.Interaction between protrusion and breech lock prevents that product tray from opening.
Case lid can consist of a kind of material.In a preferred embodiment, case lid can be used injection molding technique with a parts manufacture.Material for case lid can provide the good barrier to moisture and UV light alternatively, to protect the product in packing.The size of described material also can be stablized alternatively, because there is the architectural feature that interacts auxiliary package operation with other aspects of batch package in case lid.Suitable material comprises polypropylene (PP), high density polyethylene (HDPE) (HDPE), cyclic olefine copolymer (COC) etc.
The interior bottom surface of case lid can have two passages alternatively, and described two passages are outwards outstanding from this surface.These passages are for catching the shorter lug with slit of product tray.
The lug with slit of product tray can be alternatively has one group of bolt (cleat) along the centre of top surface.When pressing push-button latch inwards, described bolt rides along breech lock.Meanwhile, press inwards a product tray.Breech lock lower surface can have corresponding bolt alternatively, so that have the lug of slit, deflects down approximately 2 to 3mm.When button lug is depressed completely, the lug with slit deflects down, so that lug is aimed at one of passage in case lid.When product tray discharges, product tray outwards slides from this packing; In this outside motion process, catch for one in the passage of the lug with slit in case lid.
Then, product tray can be pulled out to this packing, until the longer lug on product tray arrives end of travel.When the fish prong like contact of the harpoon shape architectural feature of a product tray and relative product tray, arrive end of travel.The ultimate range that product tray can be opened is limited by the position of fish prong like.
Push-button latch can comprise two parts: (1) forms with lid housing the button sealing, and (2) movable breech lock, and it is for release products pallet.Push-button latch can be formed by two parts, and assembling.In a preferred embodiment, push-button latch forms with double injection molding technique.Button by have with product tray on the thermoplastic elastomer that requires of packing ring similar material make.
Push-button latch is pushed together inwards.In the present embodiment, breech lock moves about 4mm inwards.One group of bolt in breech lock lower surface and the corresponding one group of bolt on the lug with slit on product tray close, and the lug with slit is deflected down.This is assembled in the passage in case lid the lug with slit, and can make one in product tray outwards to open.
It should be noted, term " comprises " does not get rid of other elements or step, and " one " or " one " does not get rid of a plurality of.
