Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method and a device for packaging containers filled with products, and in particular to ampoules filled with products, pharmaceutical or other, and the packages thus obtained.
  • these bulbs are most often packaged in boxes by means of cardboard easels arranged in the boxes, which receive the tips of the bulbs. This type of packaging is relatively expensive and inconvenient to implement.
  • the object of the invention is to provide a method and a device for packaging containers, such as ampoules filled with pharmaceutical products, as well as a packaging for these containers or ampoules, which do not have these various drawbacks.
  • the method according to the invention therefore allows a laboratory to avoid all the problems of building up and managing a large stock of different bulbs previously engraved by the bulb manufacturer.
  • said sheaths are formed by means of two sheets of heat-shrinkable plastic material which are welded to each other on either side of each bulb, and a treatment is then carried out. heat shrinking of said sheets.
  • the invention also relates to a device for carrying out this method, characterized in that it comprises means for bringing two sheets of heat-shrinkable material one above the other, means for bringing between the two sheets of containers or ampoules separated from each other by a predetermined distance, means for welding together the two sheets of heat-shrinkable material on each side of each container or bulb, to form a sheath surrounding each container or bulb, a heating tunnel to heat shrink the sheaths around the containers or bulbs, as well as means for print on one of the sheets, before forming the sheath, the necessary inscriptions identifying the container and its contents.
  • the invention also provides a packaging for containers such as ampoules filled with pharmaceutical products, characterized in that it consists of a series of sheaths of plastic material each immovablely surrounding a container and joined together in the form of a chain , the receptacles being devoid of any inscription, and the sheaths presenting the necessary inscriptions identifying the receptacles and their contents.
  • FIGS. 1 and 2 representing a series of glass ampoules, filled with pharmaceutical products, which have been packaged according to the invention.
  • the packaging of the ampoules 10 comprises a series of cylindrical sheaths 11 open at their ends and each closely surrounding a bulb 10, so that the bulbs 10 cannot be withdrawn from their sheaths 11.
  • the sheaths 11 are formed by superposition of two sheets 12 and 13 of heat-shrinkable plastic material, advantageously transparent, between which the bulbs 10 are placed, at regular intervals.
  • the sheets 12 and 13 are joined together by a weld line 14.
  • the packaging thus takes the form of a string of sheaths 11, surrounding each bulb 10 closely, and a precut line 15 is formed between two sheaths 11 consecutive.
  • each bulb 10 is devoid of any inscription, which prevents the laboratory responsible for filling and packaging the bulbs 10 from having a large stock of various bulbs previously engraved by a bulb manufacturer and comprising indications different product name and lot number for the same product.
  • the string 17 of bulbs, as shown in Figure 1, and comprising a predetermined number of bulbs, is then simply placed in a box, possibly being folded back on itself to form several superimposed rows, without having to use a special cardboard device for the individual positioning of the bulbs in the box. ''
  • the sheaths 11 have a length less than that of the bulbs, the tips of which protrude outside the sheath. It is of course possible to provide a packaging according to the invention, in which the bulbs are contained entirely inside the sheaths 11, so that the tips of the bulbs are also protected by the ends of the sheath. For this, it suffices to use sheets 12 and 13 of heat-shrinkable material having a width at least equal to the length of the ampoules.
  • FIG. 3 schematically shows, in side view, a packaging device according to the invention.
  • This device firstly comprises a hopper 20 containing the ampoules 10 which have just been filled with pharmaceutical product, for example, candled and which have been sealed.
  • a device (not shown) deposits the bulbs 10 one by one on a horizontal conveyor 21 transporting the bulbs in the direction indicated by the arrow 22.
  • This conveyor 21 comprises means for positioning the bulbs at a predetermined distance from each other, and production of an alarm in the event of an incorrect positioning of a bulb or absence of a bulb.
  • These positioning and signaling means may consist of V-shaped notches formed on the projecting edges of the conveyor 21 and intended to receive the tips of the bulbs 10.
  • At the bottom of each notch is provided an electrical contact closed by the tip of the bulb placed correctly on the conveyor 21. In the case where a bulb is not positioned correctly, or in the case of the absence of a bulb, the opening of the contact results in la.production de alarm and stop of the conveyor.
  • the ampoules packaging station itself is at the end of the conveyor 21, and comprises two cylindrical rollers 23 and 24, superimposed and substantially tangent, with transverse horizontal axis 25 and 26 respectively.
  • the cylindrical peripheral surfaces of the rollers 23 and 24 are formed with elongated cavities 27 and 28 respectively, of semi-cylindrical shape, intended to receive the bulbs 10 and having a shape combined with that of said bulbs.
  • the upper roller 23 also includes heating wires 29, disposed on either side of each semi-cylindrical cavity 27, along the edges thereof.
  • the rollers 23 and 24 are brought two sheets 30 and 31 of heat-shrinkable plastic material, unwound from reels 32 and 33 respectively and passing over guide and tension rollers 34.
  • the sheets 30 and 31 thus guided pass between the two rollers 23 and 24 by wrapping or surrounding the bulbs 10 received in the cavities 27 and 28 opposite these two rollers.
  • the heating filaments 29 formed on either side of a semi-cylindrical cavity 27 of the roller 23 are supplied with electric current, for a predetermined period of time, only when said cavity 27 is at the lowest point of its trajectory.
  • a bulb 10 is contained in this semi-cylindrical cavity 27 and in the corresponding cavity 28 of the other roller 24, the two sheets 30 and 31 are supported one on the other, by the edges opposite the two cavities 27 and 28, along two lines extending along the bulb 10, and are welded together along these two lines, by the two heating wires 29 provided on either side of the cavity 27 of the upper roller 23.
  • a printing station on the internal face or upper face of the lower sheet 31 is provided, upstream of the two rollers 23 and 24, for example between two guide and tension rollers 34.
  • This printing station 35 prints on the towards all the indications relating to the identification of the product, of the laboratory, etc., on the upper face of the lower sheet 31, at regular intervals, the printing being controlled in synchronism with the movement of the conveyor 22 and rollers 23 and 24, so that each series of inscriptions is at the level of a bulb 10 in the chain formed at the outlet of the rollers 23 and 24.
  • the device then comprises a heating tunnel 36, placed above a conveyor 37 receiving the string of bulbs emerging from the rollers 23 and 24.
  • this oven 36 only the top sheet 30 is shrunk by heating, which is sufficient in order to tighten tightly on the bulbs 10 the sheaths formed by the two sheets, the lower sheet 31 not undergoing a sufficiently large heating to be retracted, which avoids any deformation of the inscriptions carried on this sheet 31.
  • a device 38 forming a pre-cut line in the superimposed sheets 30 and 31, between two consecutive bulbs 10.
  • the continuous series of bulbs thus formed is then cut into strings comprising predetermined numbers of bulbs, which are arranged in boxes.
