Abstract

The invention relates to a container (1) for medicines or foodstuffs which has an insert for desiccants (3) which is positioned in the container opening and secured against being moved further into the container. In an initial state, i.e. before use of the container, the container opening is sealed by a foil (17). After removal of said foil, the closing device (7) is moved in the direction of the desiccant insert, for example by rotating a screw cap as far as a stop end, so that the coupling means (11, 18) of the closing device and the insert engage, thus producing a non-positive connection between each other in an axial direction.

Description

Container

The present invention relates to a kind of container, particularly relate to and a kind ofly be used for it and be shaped as flat, dragee, capsule, bead or the medicine of analogue or the container of food, this container comprises a closing appliance and an embolus, and the latter comprises desiccant and absorbs the moisture that enters internal tank together with air.

Said vesse can have the shape of the bottle that comprises bottleneck, perhaps for example has the shape of tubule, and can use plastics, glass manufacturing, perhaps even for example as the situation of making the tubule that is used for tablet sometimes, makes with sheet metal.

Known that the desiccant embolus is the bottom that is contained in closing plug securely.When the inclusion of container must be when can prevent to practise fraud, this stopper can be provided with the ring of tearing that clings around container neck, and this needs sizable expense.

In addition, know that the desiccant embolus is housed in the container as an independent framing member.This conventional practice has such shortcoming, promptly the desiccant embolus be placed on the inclusion of container be flat, dragee etc. above, and the medicine and the food that are located immediately near the desiccant can be by over-drying.

Purpose of the present invention especially for the container of medicine or food, wherein, prevents that in gentle mode the inclusion of container from making moist for a kind of container is provided, and makes the inclusion of container can prevent to practise fraud with simple measure before using container for the first time.

According to the present invention, this purpose realizes by the feature described in the claim 1.

In addition, in the dependent claims useful improvement of the present invention is limited.

According to the present invention, closing appliance is preferably the capping of spiral cover type, but also can have on the edge of the vessel port of being buckled in can axially movable lid shape, this closing appliance and desiccant embolus comprise the combining device that matches, and the desiccant embolus can be fastened on the closing appliance by this combining device before using the first time of container.

In a kind of improved type that is highly profitable, closing appliance and desiccant embolus separate with a paillon foil or an analogue that has sealed the opening of container under initial condition, after removing paillon foil, closing appliance is moved towards the desiccant embolus that is contained in the container, until combining device be engaged with each other and the desiccant embolus when being fastened on the closing appliance till.

Like this, can be as described below the inclusion of container be made and to be prevented to practise fraud that promptly the paillon foil of good seal has sealed the opening of container, and vessel port can not be opened in the mode of not noted for the inclusion of using container with a kind of very simple means.Term " paillon foil " is appreciated that a very generalized concept herein, because for example the vinyl cover that can tear also can be used as anti-fraud device, but this may not be very suitable.

Under the initial condition before taking out for the first time flat or analogue, closing appliance and desiccant embolus are thus by being used to guarantee that the device that anti-fraud is handled separates.This device can be removed by the user before using, and therefore, under the situation that is spiral cover, rotates closing appliance forward until stopping along the direction of desiccant embolus, thereby two members are combined.When closing appliance is a lid on the edge of fastening in vessel port, vertically towards the desiccant embolus move forward this lid, be engaged with each other until combining device, in the case, lid and embolus will form a stopper jointly.

In addition, the desiccant embolus can comprise one and be essentially columniform desiccant chamber, wherein puts the desiccant that is preferably granular, and desiccant chamber can closely be located in the vessel port by the annular, peripheral support ring of a so-called olive hat (olive).Desiccant chamber advantageously constitutes with plastics and shrinks in slightly tapered mode in its lower end, thereby it can easily be inserted in most cases in the vessel port of bottleneck.

For the desiccant embolus is combined with closing appliance, the desiccant embolus must so be located and remain in the vessel port, that is, combining device is run into reliably each other or engaged.For this reason, desiccant embolus or desiccant chamber should have one be bearing in the vessel port or opening in holding device, enter in the container further to prevent the desiccant embolus.For reaching this purpose, the upper end wall of desiccant chamber can have the molded annular wall that comprises a flange that outwards is orientated thereon, and described flange can be located on the shoulder of vessel port upper limb.Thus, can guarantee that desiccant chamber can not be closed device and be pressed in the container, thereby can not form being connected of required and closing appliance.

In a further improved form of the present invention, closing appliance should keep under bonding state and can rotate with respect to the desiccant embolus.This is that to be located in the container under the situation with airtight container closely securely be indispensable for spiral cover and desiccant chamber at closing appliance.

This rotatable connection can for example be finished with such measure, that is, elastic arm is stretched out from the top of desiccant chamber or from the bottom of the closing appliance of band locking bail, described locking bail in conjunction with the time fastened by the circular protrusion of another framing member from behind.Thus, set up non-imposed being connected vertically with circular protrusion, but this circular protrusion rotatably fasten elastic arm around or engage.

This integrated structure has constituted a kind of favourable improved type, and it can replace with other suitable combining device.

When closing appliance is lid on axially displaceable, the wall of fastening in vessel port, can be provided with one and be buckled in backwards position on respect to desiccant chamber lid in a kind of segregative mode and be buckled in device on the binding site that moves forward.For this reason, the interior annular lip of lid can for example enter in two annular grooves that separate vertically on the wall of container.Lid and desiccant chamber can link together in this case, so that common rotation.

With reference now to accompanying drawing, describe one embodiment of the present of invention in greater detail, among the figure:

Fig. 1 shows the container of the present invention before using for the first time;

Fig. 2 shows the container that is in running condition;

Container when Fig. 3 shows closing appliance and is removed; And

Fig. 4 is the birds-eye view of the desiccant chamber of container.

Container 1 has the shape of bottle, it comprises a container neck 2, this neck is provided with one therein and is roughly columniform desiccant chamber 3, the wall of this desiccant chamber have one ringwise around the reinforcement 4 of flange shape, this reinforcement closely leans against on the inwall of container neck 2.The end portion 5 of desiccant chamber 3 shrinks in slightly tapered mode, so that desiccant chamber 3 is inserted in the container neck 2.
