Definitions
- the object of this invention is to provide a container for pharmaceutical products in the form of tablets, pills or the like, which are intended to be administered in emergency situations, such container permitting the above-mentioned drawbacks to be obviated, while assuring the possibility of a quick, practical and unfailing intervention, especially in the case of a cardiac crisis originated by a coronary insufficiency, where the psychophysical conditions of the patient are generally characterized by the well-known physical pain as well as by other typical symptoms, such'as anguish and sensation of impending death,psychic confusion, fear, sensation of extremely urgent need of a medicinal remedy.
- the container is therefore devised so as to protect the tablets, pills or the like, against any external agent such as water, perspiration, acid exhalations of skin: and so on, thereby retaining the med i camen t 's conditions of efficiency within the validity terms guaranteed by the manufacturers.
- said container is specifically conceived so as to be always within reach of the user in the course of his everyday life, either generically, for example being part of the user's clothing or of items related thereto or of other dressing accessories, or preferably in a direct way, for example being fastened to the user's body, provisions being made in order that this connection is stable, uninterrupted and continuous for 24 hours a day, so as to constitute an object which is given, once for ever, a well-determined and fixed location upon the user's body, in order that the user be able to easily mantain this location, so as to even virtually "forget" its existence.
- This purpose can be obtained, for example, by means of a supporting element such as a small chain, a necklace, a bracelet, or the like, and such that the opening of the container and the taking off of one or more tablets or pills therefrom, preferably occur without the necessity of removing the container from the supporting element.
- a supporting element such as a small chain, a necklace, a bracelet, or the like
- the container is preferably connected to the user's body through a supporting element from which it does not need to be removed for taking the tablets or the pills out of it, the same cannot fall to the ground and go astray as a consequence of the movements necessary for locating it or for taking the pills or the tablets out of it.
- the pills or the tablets are not arranged in the container in a loose condition, but in such a manner as to be fastened to each other and at the same time fastened to the container itself.
- this purpose can preferably and advantageously be accomplished either by fastening the pills or the tablets to the container direct, or by fastening the same either separately or in a group to a suitable element which is fastened in its turn to the container itself, and from which it may be removed, by a special procedure, at regular intervals when refilling the container. Due to such advantageous feature, there is no risk that the pills or the tablets inadvertently fall down and are scattered about upon opening of the container. Moreover, since the pills or the tablets are not loosely arranged into the container, the possible wear caused by their mutual friction is also avoided.
- the container is constituted by two elements 501 and 502 obtained by molding or otherwise in a suitable plastic material and then bonded together so as to form a solid and hermetically sealed enclosure.
- the element 502 the tablet receptacles are formed, one of which is indicated by 503 and shown in cross-section.
- Numerals 504 and 604 designate a metal tube having a cutting edge and embedded into the element 502 during the manufacturing of the container.
- Numerals 305, 405, 505, 605, designate a groove encircling the bases of the tablet receptacles and intended to facilitate the squeezing of the receptacles by receiving in part the squeezed material.
- Numeral 603 designates one of the tablet receptacles while it is squeezed by a finger in order to eject a tablet 506, 608 therefrom.
- Numeral 609 designates a disc of plastic material being punched off by the metal tube.
- numeral 1001 designates one of the tongues forming the front element 1201 of the container and which can be torn away following a breaking line 1002, 1102, provided upon molding or otherwise in the element 1 20 1 when it is being manufactured.
- a similar breaking line 1103, 1203, is likewise provided in the front portion of the tablet receptacle, so that the tongue 1204, upon tearing, sets the tablet 1205 free.
- the rear element 1202 of the container is bonded to the front element 1201 so as to provide a hermetically sealed container.
- Numeral 1003 designates the outline of the receptacle after removal of both the tongue and the tablet.
- a curved area 1 004 is provided in order to facilitate to the fingers the seizing of the projecting edge of the tongue.
- a container which can be opened by snap action and formed of two shells 2101, 2102, made preferably of metal, either common or precious.
- the supporting ring 2103 is integrally formed with the shell 2101, and the shell 2102 is provided with an abutement portion 2105 mating with the twin portion 2104 of the supporting ring when the shells are in the closed position shown in Fig. 14.
- the mechanism for closing and opening by snap action the container forms part of the abutement surface of the supporting ring 2103 and allows the opening of the container to be carried out by a simple movement.
- a gasket 2106 -2306, of a suitable elastic material is inserted in the edge of shell 2101, said gasket, upon closing of the container, being pressed within an U-shaped groove 2107-2307 provided in the mating edge of shell 2102, thereby assuring the hermetical seal of the container as a further precaution in addition to the hermetical seal already provided by the interchangeable plastic holder 2008 or by the single capsules 2505 in the case of the metal holder.
- Numeral 2206 designates the gasket described above and compressed between shells when the container is in a closed position.
- Shells 2 1 01, 2102 are connected by a hinge 2109 including a spiral spring, not shown in the Figure, biasing the shells to an open position so as to permit the automatic opening thereof as soon as the closure mechanism is released.
- a metal tubular element 2110 is rotatably mounted about a pin 2 1 11, said tubular element being provided with a slot preferably circular in cross-section and being intended to retain a correspondingly-shaped projection of the interchangeable plastic holder or a similar projection 2403, 2503, 2703 of the metal holder of Figs. 16-19.
- These tablet holders are suitable to rotate by 180 0 , thereby assuming two opposite positions according to whether the container is open or closed.
- the hinge of this holder 2110 also embodies a spiral spring, not shown in Figure, biasing the tablet holder in a position rotated outwardly of the container.
- the closure is obtained by means of the teeth 13 and 29, which are spread apart in order to permit the opening, and the movement of which is also permitted by the flexibility characteristics of the plastic material used.
