Abstract

1. A blister package for divisible tablets, in which the tablets lie individually in the depression of a film, which are covered by another film, it being possible to remove the tablets individually by pressing them through this sealing film, wherein the package has a single cover (7) with which an opened depression (2) can be sealed.

Description

Für feste Arzneimittelzubereitungen haben sich sogenannte Blisterverpackungen durchgesetzt, bei denen die Tabletten oder Kapseln einzeln in Vertiefungen einer Folie liegen, die Vertiefungen mit einer weiteren Folie abgedeckt sind und die Tabletten oder Kapseln einzeln durch Durchdrücken durch die Verschlußfolie entnommen werden können.So-called blister packs have become established for solid pharmaceutical preparations, in which the tablets or capsules lie individually in depressions in a film, the depressions are covered with a further film and the tablets or capsules can be removed individually by pushing through the sealing film.

Weiterhin haben teilbare Tabletten Anklang gefunden, bei denen durch eine Kerbe oder dgl. die Dosierung des Arzneimittels gezielt verringert werden kann. Werden solche teilbaren Tabletten in Blisterpackungen untergebracht, so ergibt sich das Problem, wo die Tablettenreste sicher aufbewahrt werden sollen, falls nur eine Teildosis eingenommen wird. Das Zurücklegen des Tablettenrestes in die Vertiefung der Verpackungsfolie ist unbefriedigend, da das Medikament nicht gegen Herausfallen oder Verunreinigungen geschützt ist. Eine Versiegelung mit einem Klebestreifen ist zwar möglich, aber recht umständlich, da zunächst die Durchdrückfolie wieder über die Vertiefung gebreitet werden muß, um einen Kontakt mit dem Kleber soweit wie möglich zu verhindern. Für ältere oder behinderte Patienten ist dieses Vorgehen nicht praktikabel.Divisible tablets have also found favor, in which the dosage of the drug can be reduced in a targeted manner by means of a notch or the like. If such divisible tablets are placed in blister packs, the problem arises of where the tablet residues should be kept safely if only a partial dose is taken. Placing the rest of the tablet back in the recess of the packaging film is unsatisfactory since the medication is not protected against falling out or contamination. Sealing with an adhesive strip is possible, but quite cumbersome, since the push-through film must first be spread over the depression again to prevent contact with the adhesive as far as possible. This procedure is not practical for elderly or disabled patients.

Die EP-A-0 084 119 zeigt in Figur 17 eine Tablettenpackung, bei der die Tabletten in Vertiefungen einer Folie liegen, die durch jeder Vertiefung zugeordnete aus der Folie gebildete Deckel einrastend verschlossen sind. Die DE-A-1 486 408 offenbart eine ähnliche Packung, wobei jedoch nur ein Deckel mit mehreren Rastelementen entsprechend der Anzahl der Vertiefungen vorgesehen ist.In FIG. 17, EP-A-0 084 119 shows a tablet pack in which the tablets lie in recesses in a film, the latches which are formed by the film and which are assigned to each recess are locked in place. DE-A-1 486 408 discloses a similar pack, but only one cover with a plurality of latching elements corresponding to the number of depressions is provided.

Die Erfindung bezieht sich dagegen auf eine Blisterpackung der eingangs genannten Art für teilbare Tabletten, die dadurch gekennzeichnet ist, daß eine offene Vertiefung mit einem Deckel wiederverschließbar ist. Bevorzugte Ausgestaltungen dieser Erfindung werden im folgenden näher erläutert.The invention, on the other hand, relates to a blister pack of the type mentioned at the beginning for divisible tablets, which is characterized in that an open recess can be reclosed with a lid. Preferred embodiments of this invention are explained in more detail below.

Bei einer Ausgestaltung der Erfindung ist der Deckel konisch bzw. keilförmig verjüngt, so daß er durch Reibung und/oder Verformung der zu verschließenden Vertiefung sicher haftet. Alternativ oder zusätzlich kann eine oder beide der beim Schließen in Kontakt gelangenden Flächen durch aufrauhen bzw. Anbringen von Noppen, Wellenlinien oder dergleichen das Schließen verbessern. Bei einer besonders vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung der Erfindung sind Deckel und Vertiefung nach dem Nut- und Federprinzip verbunden, wobei also beispielsweise um die Vertiefung ein Doppelwulst angeordnet ist, der die Nut ergibt, in die ein einfacher Wulst am Deckel als Feder eingreift. Diese Verbindungselemente, Nut und Feder, können als separate Elemente auf den Blisterstreifen und Deckel aufgebracht und damit verklebt oder verschweißt sein. Besonders vorteilhaft sind sie jedoch aus dem Streifen- und Deckelmaterial selbst herausgearbeitet, beispielsweise durch Prägung oder besonders vorteilhaft durch Tiefziehen.In one embodiment of the invention, the cover is tapered conically or wedge-shaped, so that it adheres securely due to friction and / or deformation of the recess to be closed. Alternatively or additionally, one or both of the surfaces that come into contact during the closing can improve the closing by roughening or attaching knobs, wavy lines or the like. In a particularly advantageous embodiment of the invention, the cover and recess are connected according to the tongue-and-groove principle, with a double bead, for example, being arranged around the recess, which results in the groove into which a single bead on the cover engages as a spring. These connecting elements, tongue and groove, can be applied as separate elements to the blister strips and cover and glued or welded to them. However, they are particularly advantageously worked out of the strip and lid material itself, for example by embossing or particularly advantageously by deep drawing.

Vorteilhaft werden die Verbindungselemente zwischen Deckel und Vertiefung rund um die gesamte Vertiefung ausgestaltet, da hierdurch ein luft- und wasserdichter Abschluß gewährleistet ist. Die die Nut und Feder verbindenden Verschlußelemente können - wie bei den Teilen eines Druckknopfs - außen wulstartig ausgestaltet sein und innen eine entsprechende Vertiefung (Rille) aufweisen.The connecting elements between the lid and the recess are advantageously designed around the entire recess, since this ensures an airtight and watertight seal. The locking elements connecting the tongue and groove can - like the parts of a push-button - be configured on the outside in a bead-like manner and have a corresponding recess (groove) on the inside.

Eine weitere bevorzugte Ausgestaltung der Erfindung ist darin zu sehen, daß der Deckel mit dem Blisterstreifen fest verbunden ist. Hierdurch wird vermieden, daß der Deckel verloren geht. Die Verbindung zwischen Blisterstreifen und Deckel kann durch ein oder mehrere Bänder bzw. Streifen hergestellt sein, wobei zweckmäßig Blisterstreifen, Deckel und Verbindungselement aus einem Stück bestehen, also beispielsweise Segmente zwischen Blisterstreifen und Deckel ausgestanzt sind, so daß ein mehr oder weniger breiter Streifen (bzw. mehrere Streifen) als Verbindungselement übrig bleibt. In einer weiteren vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung der Erfindung ist der Deckel mit dem Blisterstreifen gelenkartig, beispielsweise durch einen Falz, verbunden, so daß bei der Drehung um dieses Gelenk bzw. im Falz der Deckel über die zu schließende Vertiefung kommt und durch Andrücken leicht fixiert werden kann.Another preferred embodiment of the invention can be seen in the fact that the lid is firmly connected to the blister strip. This prevents the lid from being lost. The connection between the blister strips and the cover can be made by one or more bands or strips, whereby the blister strips, cover and connecting element expediently consist of one piece, for example segments between the blister strips and cover are punched out, so that a more or less wide strip (or several strips) remains as a connecting element. In a further advantageous embodiment of the invention, the lid is connected to the blister strip in an articulated manner, for example by a fold, so that when it rotates about this joint or in the fold, the lid comes over the depression to be closed and can be easily fixed by pressing.

In einer weiteren bevorzugten Ausgestaltung der Erfindung befindet sich am Deckel eine Lasche, die das Öffnen erleichtert. Diese Lasche kann auch zur Fixierung des Deckels dienen, indem sie beispielsweise durch eine Schlaufe gezogen oder nach dem Nut- und Feder- bzw. Druckknopfprinzip am Streifen befestigt werden kann.In a further preferred embodiment of the invention, there is a tab on the lid which facilitates opening. This tab can also be used to fix the cover, for example by pulling it through a loop or attaching it to the strip according to the tongue and groove or push button principle.

Die zu verschließende Vertiefung kann mit einer Tablette gefüllt werden; es kann aber auch eine eigene Vertiefung als Tablettenrestspeicher vorgesehen sein. In diesem Falle würde also beispielsweise ein Streifen mit 11 Vertiefungen nur mit 10 Tabletten gefüllt, wobei zweckmäßig eine Vertiefung am Ende des Blisterstreifens frei bleibt, an die dann der Deckel angrenzt.The well to be closed can be filled with a tablet; however, a separate depression can also be provided as a residual tablet storage. In this case, for example, a strip with 11 wells would only be filled with 10 tablets, whereby a well at the end of the blister strip expediently remains free, to which the lid then adjoins.

Bei der erfindungsgemäßen Ausführungsform mit einer Lasche am Deckel einerseits und einer eigenen Vertiefung (als Tablettenrestespeicher) andererseits kann diese Vertiefung - oder auch vorteilhaft nur deren Verschluß, also vorzugsweise die Nut bzw. Feder - auch so ausgestaltet werden, daß die vom Gelenk bzw. Falz abgewandte Längsseite mehr oder weniger spitz zulaufend ausgestaltet ist. Dementsprechend zeigt die "Spitze" beim Deckel in Richtung der Lasche. Diese Ausgestaltung hat den Vorteil, daß beim Anziehen der Lasche der verschlossene Speicher bzw. sein Verschluß leichter - zunächst an der "Spitze" - zu öffnen ist, wodurch ein ruckartiges Öffnen leichter vermieden werden kann.In the embodiment according to the invention with a flap on the cover on the one hand and its own recess (as a residual tablet storage) on the other hand, this recess - or advantageously only its closure, that is preferably the tongue or groove - can also be designed such that the joint or fold facing long side is more or less pointed. Accordingly, the "tip" of the lid points towards the tab. This configuration has the advantage that when the tab is tightened, the closed memory or its closure is easier to open - initially at the "tip", which makes jerky opening easier to avoid.

Besonders bevorzugt sind die erfindungsgemäßen Blisterverpackungen für mehrfach teilbare Tabletten, insbesondere für mehrfach teilbare Oblongtabletten. In einer bevorzugten Ausgestaltung der Erfindung werden die Vertiefungen im Blisterstreifen so ausgestaltet, daß diese Oblongtabletten hochkant stehen.Those are particularly preferred Blister packs according to the invention for tablets which can be divided several times, in particular for oblong tablets which can be divided repeatedly. In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the depressions in the blister strip are designed so that these oblong tablets are on edge.

Figur 1 zeigt in der Aufsicht das Endstück eines Blisterstreifens (1), dessen endständige Vertiefung (2) von Anfang an unverschlossen ist, während die übrigen Vertiefungen (3) ursprünglich alle mit der Deckfolie (4) verschlossen waren, von der letzten jedoch die Deckfolie (4) abgezogen ist. Um die Vertiefung (2) ist ein ringförmiger Doppelwulst (5) angeordnet; in die dadurch gebildete Nut greift der Wulst (6) ein, wenn der Deckel (7) um den Falz (8) gedreht wird. Die Lasche (9) erleichtert das Öffnen des verschlossenen Tablettenspeichers. (10) stellt eine mehrfach teilbare Tablette mit Kerben (11) dar. (12) ist eine Perforationslinie, die das streifenweise Abziehen der Deckfolie (4) erleichtert, wenn eine ursprünglich mit einer Tablette gefüllte Vertiefung als Restespeicher dienen soll. Es wird so vermieden, daß Reste der Deckfolie das Verschließen mit dem Deckel erschweren. Die Perforationslinie (12) kann auch durch beide Folien, also Grundfolie und Deckfolie (4), gehen (nicht in den Figuren dargestellt) und ermöglicht dann das "Vereinzeln" der abgepackten Tabletten oder Kapseln.Figure 1 shows a top view of the end piece of a blister strip (1), the terminal recess (2) of which has not been closed from the beginning, while the remaining recesses (3) were originally all sealed with the cover film (4), but the cover film of the last one (4) is subtracted. An annular double bead (5) is arranged around the recess (2); The bead (6) engages in the groove formed in this way when the cover (7) is rotated around the fold (8). The tab (9) makes it easier to open the closed tablet store. (10) represents a multiply divisible tablet with notches (11). (12) is a perforation line which facilitates the strip-wise removal of the cover film (4) if a depression originally filled with a tablet is to serve as residual storage. It is thus avoided that residues of the cover film make it difficult to close the cover. The perforation line (12) can also pass through both foils, ie base foil and cover foil (4) (not shown in the figures), and then enables the packaged tablets or capsules to be “separated”.

Figur 2 zeigt einen Querschnitt durch die Blisterverpackung gemäß Figur 1.FIG. 2 shows a cross section through the blister pack according to FIG. 1.
