Den foreliggende frembringelse angår et beholderlukke af plast til aflukning af mundingen på en flaskelignende beholder til opbevaring af medicin- eller vitaminpræparater, fortrinsvis på pille-, tablet- eller kapselform og omfattende et ydre skørt, hvis nedre ende via overriv-ningsdele er forbundet med et rundtgående forseglingsring, såsom et garantibånd, som i den monterede, forseglede tilstand af lukket fastholdes i indgreb under radiale dele, som rager ud fra den flaskelignende beholders halsdel.The present invention relates to a plastic container closure for sealing the mouth of a bottle-like container for storing medicinal or vitamin preparations, preferably in pill, tablet or capsule form, and comprising an outer skirt, the lower end of which is connected via a tear-off portion. circumferential sealing ring, such as a guarantee band, which in the assembled, sealed state of the closure is held engaged under radial portions extending from the neck portion of the bottle-like container.

Ved de kendte beholdere til opbevaring af medicin- eller vitaminpræparater er informationer eller instruktioner vedrørende indholdets indtagelse eller anvendelse, ofte påtrykt beholderens yderside, og er især ofte påtrykt en label, som er påklistret beholderens yderside. Det sker ofte, at denne vigtige information for forbrugeren dækkes på uønsket måde ved en efterfølgende prismærkning. Når der er tale om beholdere til opbevaring af særlige medicinske præparater medfølger der i de fleste tilfælde en separat brugsvejledning trykt på et løst stykke papir, og som er alt for omfattende til at vejledningen kan påtrykkes beholderens yderside. En sådan løs brugsanvisning foldes ofte flere gange og holdes sammen med beholderen ved hjælp af et gummibånd eller lignende og emballeres sammen med beholderen i en lille papæske eller tilsvarende.In the known containers for storing medicinal or vitamin preparations, information or instructions regarding the ingestion or use of the contents are often printed on the outside of the container, and in particular are often printed on a label affixed to the outside of the container. It often happens that this important information for the consumer is undesirably covered by a subsequent price tag. In the case of containers for storage of special medical preparations, in most cases a separate instruction manual printed on a loose piece of paper is included, which is too extensive for the instructions to be printed on the outside of the container. Such loose instructions for use are often folded several times and held together with the container by means of a rubber band or the like and packaged together with the container in a small cardboard box or similar.

Der har derfor længe eksisteret et behov for at tilvejebringe et beholderlukke til en beholder til opbevaring af medicin- eller vitaminpræparater, og hvor en brugsvejledning på sikker måde kunne opbevares i forbindelse med selve beholderen.Therefore, there has long been a need to provide a container closure for a container for storing medicinal or vitamin preparations, and where a instructions for use could be safely stored in connection with the container itself.

Beholderlukket til beholderen til opbevaring af medicineller vitaminpræparater er ifølge den foreliggende frembringelse ny ved, at det ydre skørts øvre ende strækker 2 2DK 93 00503 U3 sig ind over beholdérmundingen og forløber over i et ned-ragende, indre skørt, som fra mundingen strækker sig i det mindste ned i beholderens halsdel og hvis nedre ende er aflukket, og at beholderlukket endvidere omfatter en øvre lågdel, som fastholdes ved et område rundt langs en ydre periferi i indgreb med det ydre skørts øvre ende. Herved opnås, at en brugsvejledning kan opbevares på sikker måde sammen med den beholder og dennes indhold, som brugsvejledningen giver instruktioner vedrørende.According to the present invention, the container lid of the container for storing medicinal or vitamin preparations is new in that the upper end of the outer skirt extends over the container mouth and extends into a downward inner skirt which extends from the mouth into the at least down to the neck portion of the container and the lower end of which is closed, and the container lid further comprising an upper lid portion which is retained at a region around an outer periphery in engagement with the upper end of the outer skirt. This provides that a user manual can be stored securely together with the container and its contents provided by the user manual for instructions.

Beholderlukkets indre skørt har nærmest karakter af en brønd som tilvejebringer et hulrum til opbevaring af brugsvejledningen og som opadtil er aflukket af den øvre lågdel. Hulrummet kan både anvendes til opbevaring af brugsvejledningen i den forseglede tilstand af beholderlukket og kan efter at forseglingen er brudt anvendes til opbevaring af en forudbestemt dagsdosis af beholderens indhold af piller eller lignende.The inner skirt of the container lid is almost the nature of a well which provides a cavity for storing the instructions for use and which is closed upwards by the upper lid part. The cavity can both be used to store the instructions for use in the sealed state of the container lid and can, after the seal is broken, be used to store a predetermined daily dose of the container contents of pills or the like.

Det skal også nævnes at ved den foreliggende frembringelse vil beholderens samlede højde i hovedsagen ikke forøges, set i forhold til en beholder som er forsynet med et lukke, som ikke omfatter et hulrum til opbevaring af en brugsvejledning.It should also be noted that, in the present invention, the overall height of the container in the main proceedings will not increase, as compared to a container provided with a closure which does not include a cavity for storing an instruction manual.

Ifølge frembringelsen kan det indre skørts nedre aflukkede ende omfatte en vandret, i hovedsagen pladeformet bund.According to the invention, the lower closed end of the inner skirt may comprise a horizontal, generally plate-shaped bottom.

Endvidere kan ifølge frembringelsen den pladeformede bund omfatte en central, opadragende udsparing indrettet til fastholdelse af løse del såsom en tørstofbeholder eller en beholder til opbevaring af en dagsdosis af piller eller lignende fra den flaskelignende beholders indhold af disse.Furthermore, according to the invention, the plate-shaped bottom may comprise a central, upwardly extending recess arranged for holding loose parts such as a dry container or a container for storing a daily dose of pills or the like from the contents of the bottle-like container.
