Description

The invention relates to a device for opening a container arranged in a shell comprising a material to be dispensed. The same devices are used in particular in medicine. For example, as a material to be dispensed a wound adhesive is conceivable, which can serve in particular for closing wounds. Furthermore, the invention relates to an assembly comprising an apparatus and a shell described above and a method for opening a container arranged in a shell using an input called device.

Such devices are basically known in the art. That's how it shows US2002 / 0018689A1 an applicator unit comprising a shell containing a vial of glass with a wound adhesive and a porous applicator attachment. By pressure on the outer wall of the shell, the ampoule can be broken and an output of the wound adhesive is possible via the applicator attachment. The application unit is disposed of completely after use.

In addition, the shows US2003 / 0015557A1 For example, a sleeve-shaped device enclosing a space in which there is an ampoule containing a wound adhesive. The sleeve-shaped device is designed to be open on one side and can be closed there by means of different applicator tips. By pressing on the outer wall of the device, the ampoule can also be broken here and an output of the wound adhesive is possible via the respectively selected applicator tip. The problem here is in particular that it can lead to contamination of the room due to the unilaterally open device, which may affect the quality of the wound adhesive.

A similar system also shows the US2008 / 0167681A1 whose sleeve-shaped device has projecting engaging arms for the user to selectively apply pressure to the device to open the ampoule disposed within the device and to dispense the adhesive.

Furthermore, the shows US2013 / 0131720A1 a similar device. Here, a pen-shaped dispensing aid is disclosed, which also serves to receive an ampoule containing a wound adhesive. By means of an opening device, the ampoule can be opened within the dispensing aid by a similar mode of action as in the abovementioned publications, wherein in addition an application of the wound adhesive is to be made possible. This device is extremely complex and consists of a variety of items, which makes the device expensive and prone to errors, especially as a result of manufacturing tolerances.

The object of the invention is therefore an alternative device to provide an alternative assembly comprising a device and a shell and an alternative method for opening a container arranged in a shell.

This object is solved by the features of independent claims 1, 7 and 10, respectively.

Advantageous developments of the invention are indicated by the respective dependent claims.

The basic idea of the invention is to provide a device for opening a container, which is preferably made of a flexible material and is preferably closed, and comprises a material, preferably an adhesive, more preferably a wound adhesive, and furthermore it may be advantageous to use the device as well or alternatively to dispensing the material, from the container and out of the envelope, preferably by means of an applicator molded or mounted on the envelope. Said device according to the invention has on a proximal side on a bottom on a proximal side, which may be designed flat, but in particular may consist of only one edge. Furthermore, the device has a jacket region which at least partially surrounds and thus defines a space for accommodating the shell, wherein the shell region extends from said bottom towards a distal side of the device opposite the proximal side. Furthermore, the device has a corresponding to the space and / or communicating opening on the distal side to allow access to the room, and at least two substantially opposite cutouts in the shell region, both of which open in said opening, that two each other form opposite and extending in the distal direction wing at least one facing in the direction of the distal side of the jacket portion. Thus, the cutouts separate the wings from each other in such a way that the wings protrude freely in the distal direction. In addition, the wings of the device according to the invention by force on their outer surfaces are pivotable or deflectable to each other, or whereby the distance between the wings to each other and thus the cross section of the space in this area can be reduced to a force on the shell and the container disposed therein to exercise and so an opening of the container arranged in the shell, in particular by breaking or crimping of the container and / or to allow an output of the material contained in the envelope.

In principle, the use of the device according to the invention with different casings comprising a container with a material to be dispensed is conceivable. The casings are flexible, in particular designed to be elastically and / or plastically deformable, so that a deformation of the shell by means of the wings is possible. Preferably, such a shell is made of a plastic material. The container is again made of a material that allows opening of the container, in particular by breaking or crimping by means of the wings. In particular, a brittle material is suitable, for example glass. Preferably, the materials of shell and container are tuned such that any opening of the container any parts of the opened container, such as splinters do not destroy the wall of the shell. On the one hand, the device provides a handling aid for such casings, in that the device provides the user with a grip possibility or holding possibility of the casing. In particular, the device is designed such that a pin-like guidance can be made possible. Furthermore, it is possible to achieve an opening of the container within the envelope via the vanes, in which the user, as described at the beginning, pivots or moves the vanes relative to one another. Furthermore, an output of the material via said opening, in particular via an integrally formed with the shell or integrally molded on the applicator from the shell is possible by the user, for example, the wings further pivoted or moved to each other and so further reduces the distance. Further, other possibilities are conceivable by the user brings the wings back to their original position and with a suitable position of the device such that the material is moved in the direction of opening or the wings flows again pivoted or moved. In this case, the user can, for example, also make a pumping movement of the wings. Thus, a simple application of the material is guaranteed, so that the device can represent both an opening aid, on the other hand, but also an applicator for the material. The cut-outs also provide the user with a view of the envelope. Thus, for example, the user can read operating instructions or content information provided on the sleeve and / or check the position of the container arranged inside the sleeve when using a transparent sleeve, in order then to be able to correct the position of the container within the sleeve before the opening.

In one embodiment, the device may be used to dispense multi-component materials. In this case, a component may for example be provided in the container, the further component in turn in the space of the shell in which the container is also included. By opening the container through the wings, the user can merge and mix both components. In an alternative embodiment, it is further conceivable that only a one-component material should be dispensed, which are contained in the container in particular because of its high reactivity or due to hygiene regulations. For application and processing of the material, the container can be opened by means of the device and the material can be dispensed.

Preferably, the shell 20 closed and can be opened to the output of the material in particular by a suitable applicator or applicator attachment. It is also conceivable to provide the envelope with a dividing surface or dividing wall, which may, for example, have a weakening line and which, for example, can be opened by the action of force on the outer surfaces of the wings and a further pivoting of the wings in order to be able to dispense the material.

In principle, all possible materials can be contained in the container and / or the casing. However, such devices may be used in conjunction with, for example, a container having, for example, a wound adhesive, particularly in conjunction with medical envelopes.

In particular, the use of the described device in conjunction with a sheath as an assembly or as a kit or modular system for topically and / or internally applying a polymerizable adhesive composition to mammalian tissue containing a disinfectant composition comprising at least one component selected from the group Group of polymerization initiators, which is suitable for initiating and / or accelerating the polymerization of the polymerizable adhesive composition on the fabric surface, and a polymerizable adhesive composition. In this regard, in particular, a kit and a related adhesive composition, as described in the DE102007019 are disclosed, the disclosure of which complements the present disclosure.

Further, it is advantageous to employ a cyanoacrylate-based polymerizable adhesive composition, which has already found wide use in both industrial and medical applications because of its high rate of cure and strength of the resulting adhesive bond. These are particularly suitable for packaging in the above Containers because, for example, monomeric forms of cyanoacrylates are extremely reactive and rapidly polymerize in the presence of even minute amounts of a polymerization initiator, including airborne or surface moisture.

In particular, a polymerisable adhesive composition containing as at least one component a cyanoacrylate component which contains a cyanoacrylate of the formula (I) or a mixture of a cyanoacrylate of the formula (I) with further cyanoacrylates of the formula (I) and the cure of the sterile or not sterile cyanoacrylate component without addition of a polymerization initiator or polymerization accelerator on an ABS surface, determined by applying a tensile force of 1 kg for at least 5 s, in less than 80 s, the proportion of cyanoacrylate according to formula (I) being at least 90% by weight to the total amount of cyanoacrylate component and R is a substituted or unsubstituted, straight, branched or cyclic alkyl group comprising 5 to 18 carbon atoms and / or containing an aromatic group or acyl group.

In this regard, in particular, such a polymerizable adhesive composition, as used in the WO2008 / 128888A1 is disclosed, the disclosure of which complements the present disclosure.

In an advantageous development of the invention, at least one wing has a proximal swivel area with a narrow design and a distal attack area with a broader design with regard to the design of the swivel area. Preferably, both wings are designed in this form. The proximal swivel area, which is provided on the side of the wing pointing in the direction of the ground, is preferably so narrow that with the swivel area a preferred deformation area of the wing can be provided for the above-described deflection or movement of the wing. In addition, the wing may be formed alternatively or additionally thin at this area. In view of the described narrow design of the pivoting range, the distal engagement area on the opposite side is preferably made wider, in particular in order to provide the user with a good possibility of attacking ergonomic work. In addition, the proximal engagement region corresponding to the above-described thin formation of the pivoting region may in turn be additionally or alternatively thick and thus more resistant to deformation or contain reinforcing elements to achieve this property, in particular ribs, in order to achieve a higher strength.

In an advantageous development, at least one wing on a distal attack area, which is equipped on its outside with a grip aid to facilitate operation by the user around in particular a force by the fingers of a hand by the user. This grip aid can be embodied, in particular, by anti-slip formation of the surface, for example by nubs, notches or other protruding or introduced into the surface elements. Also, the use of a coating of the surface is possible or a coating of the attack area, which respectively causes these desired properties. Preferably, both wings are designed in such a way, it may be appropriate to make the attack areas of the two wings differently, for example, to provide the user with preferred attack options for example, his index finger on one wing and his thumb on the opposite wing to a particularly ergonomic working to enable.

A further advantage is the use of a substantially circular opening, wherein the space defined by the jacket area has a corresponding cross-sectional area. With this embodiment, for example, the use of envelopes is conceivable, which only need to have a size corresponding to the diameter of the opening. However, a prescribed positioning with respect to the opening or the space of the device is not absolutely necessary to allow insertion of the shell, so that the filling and thus the work with the device can be substantially facilitated.

Another advantage is the use of at least one connecting web between the wings, which divides the corresponding cutout. Preferably, a cutout is subdivided such that a distal portion is open in the direction of the opening and a proximal portion in the form of a window is framed by the connecting web, the two wings and the bottom of the device. Preferably, two preferably opposite connecting webs are provided on both sides of the wings. By using two connecting webs, it is possible, for example, to provide a section of the space in which the dimension of the space does not impair or at least diminish or at least reduce it, in particular in the case of an above-described movement of the wings is because a support option can be provided by the connecting webs.

Furthermore, it is preferred that a connecting web is used in conjunction with a wing described above having a proximal swivel area with a narrow design and a distal engagement area with a broader design with regard to the design of the proximal swivel area, wherein in the distal direction the connecting web before the proximal swivel area is arranged. On the design variants of the wing with such a design, reference is made to the above statements. Accordingly, the pivoting region of the vane essentially adjoins the connecting web substantially directly, so that here a preferred deformation region of the vane is provided for deflecting or moving the vane described above, wherein strengthening of the adjacent region can be provided by using the connecting web. Preferably, again as described above, two opposite connecting webs with the above-described advantages, in particular with regard to the provision of a portion of the space whose dimensions in a above-described movement of the wings is not or less affected or reduced, are used.

Another advantage is the formation of the device from a plastic material, in particular a thermoplastic material. Particularly suitable is the use of a polypropylene or a polyethylene as a plastic material. As polyethylene, in particular HDPE, LDPE, or LLDPE or a mixture of those mentioned is conceivable. Preferably, the device is in one piece, so that no assembly must be made. It is particularly conceivable to manufacture the device in an injection molding process.

A further basic idea of the present invention is the provision of an assembly comprising a device described in the introduction and a case having a container. With regard to the design of the device and the shell and the container and its preferred embodiments, reference is made to the above detailed description, inasmuch as the disclosure supplemented at this point. Furthermore, possible further details beyond the above description in turn supplement said description.

In an advantageous development of the assembly, the design of the shell and the device, in particular the opening and the space-defining jacket area, selected and matched to one another that an outer or outer surface of the shell in the inserted state of the shell within the space at least partially in Contact with adjacent or opposite portions of the inside of the jacket portion of the device is such that a captive can be provided. This can preferably take place in such a way that a simple position fixing or captive securing of the envelope is provided even without a force acting on the outer surfaces of the wings, which is preferably chosen such that a particular gravity-related sliding out of the envelope from the room can be avoided at any change in position. This can be done on the one hand by suitable surfaces of the shell and the shell region, so that corresponding coefficients of friction are achieved, which allow a positional fixation. Another possibility is the choice of the dimensions of the elements of the assembly such that the sheath is clamped in the space of the shell region, so that said positional fixation can be achieved. A third possibility is in turn the provision of ribs or nubs or other prominent features of the devices, which can engage in the assembled state, for example, in accordance with the shell formed recesses and other conceivable corresponding mounting or Fixierbereiche to the elements of the assembly.

In an advantageous embodiment of said assembly corresponds to the shape of the wings on the interior determining the space substantially or at least partially the outer shape of the shell.

Another advantage is the design of the assembly in such a way that the sheath consists of a preferably transparent polymer material, preferably a polyester, in order to give the user, in particular through the cutouts of the device, a view of the container arranged inside the sheath, in particular to reach over the latter To inform location within the shell and to be able to correct, for example, the position of the container within the shell before the opening can. The container is preferably made of a brittle material, which is chosen such that it can be broken by means of force on the wings on the shell. Preferably, the container is made of glass. It is particularly preferred that the sheath consists of such a material and is designed such that a destruction of the shell by fractions of the container in a proposed use of the assembly can be substantially excluded. Preferably, therefore, the shell is made of said polyester.

The sheath may have an opening for dispensing the material within the container, but also completely at the beginning be closed, with a preferred opening area for dispensing the material located within the container can be provided. In particular, above-described separating surface can be provided. It is also conceivable to use within the envelope, in particular in the region of the opening or the opening region, a filter element or sieve or a similar suitable separating means, which deposits possible fragments of the container, so that a material dispensing without fragments is possible. In an advantageous development, the shell has an applicator, which can be molded onto the shell, in particular. Alternatively, it is conceivable that the applicator is attachable to the shell or the corresponding connection means are provided for an applicator. The applicator can be part of the assembly. The applicator can be designed in particular in the form of a pencil, a sponge, a brush, a brush or in another suitable form. In particular, the shape of an applicator, as it is for example in the WO2008141881A1 is described, the disclosure of which complements the present disclosure.

In an advantageous further development, the assembly can also be designed as a modular system comprising a described device and one or more cases each having one or more containers, optionally also comprising one or more applicators, wherein a receiving means, in particular a box, a cardboard or a similar means may be provided for storing and / or storing the elements of said modular system, which may also be part of the modular system.

• – Bewegung der gegenüberliegenden Flügel der Vorrichtung zueinander, um eine Verringerung des Abstandes der Flügel zueinander zu ermöglichen, vorzugsweise durch Krafteinwirkung durch die Hand des Anwenders, bis eine Öffnung des in der Hülle angeordneten Behälters eintritt.

Another basic idea of the present invention is a method for opening a container arranged in a casing using a described device, characterized by the steps:

• - Providing a device for opening the shell, wherein the opening and the space is suitable for receiving the shell;
• Inserting the envelope containing the container through the opening into the space preferably until one side of the container contacts the bottom of the device or at least in close proximity to the bottom, alternatively until the container provided within the envelope is between the wings of the device;
• Movement of the opposing wings of the device towards each other to allow a reduction in the distance between the wings to each other, preferably by the action of force by the hand of the user until an opening of the container arranged in the shell occurs.

In a further development, when using a container that can be displaced within the envelope, it may prove expedient to insert the following method step before the step of moving the wings toward one another: moving, in particular pivoting the device with the inserted envelope, the container being displaceable within the envelope is until the container is in such a position between the opposed wings that an impact on the container is possible via the wings.
