Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Nachfüllpackung für grossformatige Tabletten mit einem im wesentlichen etwa kasten- bzw. quaderförmigen, an einer Schmalseite offenen Tablettenvorratsbehälter. Unter grossformatigen Tabletten werden Pulverpresslinge mit einem die üblichen Dimensionen von in der Medizin gebräuchlichen Tabletten wesentlich übersteigendem Volumen verstanden. Die Nachfüllpackung soll vorzugsweise im Haushaltsbereich für Pflege-, Reinigungs-und Desinfektionsmittel in Tablettenform Anwendung finden.The invention relates to a refill for large-format tablets with an essentially box-shaped or cuboid-shaped tablet storage container that is open on a narrow side. Large-format tablets are powder compacts with a volume that significantly exceeds the usual dimensions of tablets used in medicine. The refill pack should preferably be used in the household area for care, cleaning agents and disinfectants in tablet form.

Bekannte Verpackungsformen für im Haushaltsbereich verwendete Pflege-, Reinigungs- und Desinfektionsmittel in Tablettenform sind beispielsweise Röhrchen, Schachteln, Dosen, Durchdrückpackungen und Blisterpackungen. Beim Entnehmen von Tabletten aus derartigen Verpackungen kommt es in der Regel zu einem Hautkontakt. Dieser ist schädlich und zu vermeiden, wenn Produkte mit hohem Anteil von sauren Alkalien, Desinfektionsmitteln, Farbpigmenten, Duftstoffen und dergleichen vorliegen. Probleme bereitet auch das Handhaben von neuerdings in Form grossformatiger Tabletten entwickelter Waschverstärker, die nicht wie das übliche Waschmittel in die Dosierkammer sondern vor oder nach dem Beladen der Waschmaschine mit Schmutzwäsche direkt in den Maschinenraum eingelegt werden. In allen Fällen ist nicht nur ein Hautkontakt zu vermeiden, sondern auch sicherzustellen, dass die aggressiven Produkte nicht in den Zugriffbereich von Kleinkindern gelangen.Known forms of packaging for care, cleaning agents and disinfectants in tablet form used in the household area are, for example, tubes, boxes, cans, blister packs and blister packs. When tablets are removed from such packaging, skin contact usually occurs. This is harmful and should be avoided if there are products with a high proportion of acidic alkalis, disinfectants, color pigments, fragrances and the like. Problems also arise when handling washing boosters that have recently been developed in the form of large-format tablets, which are not placed in the metering chamber like the usual detergent, but rather directly in the machine room before or after loading the washing machine with dirty laundry. In all cases, not only should skin contact be avoided, but it must also be ensured that the aggressive products do not reach small children.

Ein Dosierspender für tablettenförmige Produkte wird bereits in der DE-OS 3 143 953 beschrieben. Dieses Gerät besteht aus einem Tablettenvorratsbehälter und einem daran mit Hilfe eines Arretierungsadapters austauschbar anzusetzenden Dosierschieber. Mit Hilfe des bekannten Dosierspenders kann eine Tablette nach der anderen allein durch Betätigung des Schiebers und ohne Berührung mit der Hand aus dem Vorratsbehälter entnommen und der vorgesehenen Verwendung zugeführt werden. Zu dem Nachteil der relativ aufwendigen Ausbildung des Geräts kommt als ungünstig hinzu, dass eine Kindersicherung nicht vorgesehen wird.A dosing dispenser for tablet-shaped products is already described in DE-OS 3 143 953. This device consists of a tablet storage container and a metering slide that can be attached to it with the help of a locking adapter. With the help of the known metering dispenser, one tablet after the other can be removed from the storage container and operated for the intended use simply by actuating the slide and without touching the hand. In addition to the disadvantage of the relatively complex design of the device, it is disadvantageous that childproofing is not provided.

In der DE-OS 3 302 193 wurde auch bereits ein Behälter mit Dosierhilfe für Pulverpresslinge vorgeschlagen, der besonders zum Zugeben grossformatiger Tabletten bzw. Kompaktate aus einem für empfindliche Haut schädlichen Material nach Art eines Reinigers für Geschirrspülmaschinen oder dergleichen geeignet ist. Dieser Behälter mit Dosierhilfe für Pulverpresslinge besteht aus einem flexiblen, durchsichtigen Kunststoffrohr mit Boden sowie einem abzunehmenden Deckel. Das Rohr hat einen der einzelnen Tablette angepassten Querschnitt und eine dem maximalen Tablettenvorrat entsprechende Länge. Beim Dosieren von Tabletten wird die flexible Rohrwand durch Druck zwischen zwei Finger gequetscht und deformiert, dadurch wird die im Bereich der Deformierung befindliche Tablette festgehalten. Beim Quetschen des Rohrs können leicht Tabletten zerbrechen und damit sogar ungewollt aus dem Rohr fallen. Auch für diesen Behälter wird eine Kindersicherung nicht vorgesehen.In DE-OS 3 302 193 a container with dosing aid for powder compacts has already been proposed, which is particularly suitable for adding large-sized tablets or compacts made of a material harmful to sensitive skin in the manner of a cleaner for dishwashers or the like. This container with dosing aid for powder compacts consists of a flexible, transparent plastic tube with bottom and a removable lid. The tube has a cross section adapted to the individual tablets and a length corresponding to the maximum tablet supply. When dosing tablets, the flexible tube wall is squeezed and deformed by pressure between two fingers, thereby holding the tablet in the area of the deformation. When squeezing the tube, tablets can easily break and even fall out of the tube unintentionally. Childproof lock is also not provided for this container.

Schliesslich ist bereits vorgeschlagen worden, einen Spender für grossformatige Tabletten zu schaffen, der jeweils beim Zuführen der Tablette zum eigentlichen Verwendungszweck mit einer Hand zu bedienen ist und ohne die Gefahr einer zufälligen Fehldosierung durch Unachtsamkeit oder Tablettenbruch sowie ebenfalls ohne die Gefahr eines Hautkontakts zu handhaben ist. In dem Schieberspender mit einem Schieberlager und beweglich darin einzusetzendem Dosierschieber wird das Schieberlager als quaderförmige, an mindestens einer Schmalseite offene Hülse ausgebildet. Diese an sich zum Dosieren ohne Hautkontakt günstige Ausführung besitzt jedoch ebenfalls den Nachteil der fehlenden Kindersicherung.Finally, it has already been proposed to create a dispenser for large-format tablets that can be operated with one hand each time the tablet is used for its intended purpose and can be handled without the risk of accidental incorrect dosing due to carelessness or broken tablets, and also without the risk of skin contact . In the slide dispenser with a slide bearing and a metering slide to be inserted therein, the slide bearing is designed as a cuboid sleeve open on at least one narrow side. However, this version, which is advantageous for dosing without skin contact, also has the disadvantage of a lack of child safety.

Für aggressive Haushaltsreiniger in Pulver- oder Granulatform werden kindergesicherte Verpackungen seit langem eingesetzt. Eine Kindersicherung für die zwecks genauer Dosierung von konvenienter Anwendung entwickelten Pulverpresslinge, die lose geschüttet in üblichen Trommeln oder Paketen in den Handel gebracht werden, konnte bisher mit vertretbarem Aufwand noch nicht geschaffen werden. Eine Kindersicherung soll definitionsgemäss gegen den missbräuchlichen Zugriff durch Kleinkinder im besonders gefährdeten Alter von 42 bis 51 Monaten schützen. Um trotzdem den Verkaufseinheiten für Haushalte mit Kindern im genannten Alter eine die Aufsichtspflicht der Eltern ergänzende Anwendungshilfe beizufügen, wurde bereits eine kindergesicherte Nachfüllpackung entwickelt und im DE-GM 8 336 161 beschrieben. Diese Packung lässt aber eine einwandfreie Dosierung nicht zu.Child-resistant packaging has long been used for aggressive household cleaners in powder or granule form. A childproof lock for powder compacts developed for the precise dosing of convenient use, which are sold loose in conventional drums or packages, has not yet been able to be created with reasonable effort. By definition, child protection is designed to protect against misuse by infants aged 42 to 51 months. In order to nevertheless add an application aid to the sales units for households with children of the age mentioned that complements the parents' duty of supervision, a child-resistant refill pack has already been developed and described in DE-GM 8 336 161. However, this pack does not allow a perfect dosage.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine kindergesicherte Nachfüllpackung für grossformatige Tabletten zu schaffen, die neben der Kindersicherung auch die Möglichkeit der proportionierten Produktabnahme und ferner ein Einbringen der Tabletten in die Dosierkammer der Maschine ohne Hautkontakt mit dem Produkt gewährleistet. Ausserdem soll die Nachfüllpackung aus der jeweiligen Verkaufseinheit heraus ebenfalls ohne Hautkontakt mit dem jeweiligen Produkt nachzufüllen sein. Die erfindungsgemässe Lösung besteht für die eingangs genannte Nachfüllpackung mit etwa quaderförmigem, an einer Schmalseite offenem Tablettenvorratsbehälter darin, dass der Öffnung des Tablettenvorratsbehälters ein aus einer rechteckigen Kopfplatte mit an zwei gegenüberliegenden Kanten unter etwas weniger als 90° abgewinkelt angeformten Stegen bestehender Deckel zugeordnet ist, dass an das freie Ende jedes Stegs ein Arretiernocken angeformt ist und dass die beiden den Stegen des Deckels zuzuwendenden Seitenflächen des Vorratsbehälters je ein zum Einrasten der Arretiernocken der Stege des aufgesetzten Deckels ausgebildetes Widerlager und darüber jeweils eine von der Oberkante der Behälterseitenfläche ausgehende, etwa daumenbreite Ausbuchtung besitzen.The invention has for its object to provide a child-resistant refill for large-format tablets, which in addition to the child safety also ensures the possibility of proportioned product removal and also introducing the tablets into the metering chamber of the machine without skin contact with the product. In addition, the refill should also be refillable from the respective sales unit without skin contact with the respective product. The solution according to the invention for the refill package mentioned at the outset, with an approximately cuboid-shaped tablet storage container that is open on one narrow side, is assigned to the opening of the tablet storage container that a lid consisting of a rectangular top plate with two webs angled at two opposite edges and angled at a little less than 90 ° is assigned to that a locking cam is formed on the free end of each web and that the two side surfaces of the storage container facing the webs of the lid each have an abutment designed to snap the locking cams of the webs of the lid on and each have an approximately thumb-wide bulge starting from the upper edge of the container side surface .

Der Deckel, der aus einem elastisch verformbaren Material bestehen soll, kann nur durch gleichzeitiges Entriegeln der Nocken und Herausziehen des Deckels aus dem Behälter abgenommen werden; die dem gegenseitigen Stegabstand entsprechende Deckellänge lässt sich so gross ausführen, dass die Spannweite zwischen Daumen und Zeigefinger eines Kleinkinds und die gleichzeitig aufzubringende Kraft zum Entriegeln der Arretiernocken grösser ist als die Kinder in dem kritischen Alter haben. Es liegt also eine Kindersicherung nicht nur durch das Erfordernis überlagernder Bewegungen - Drücken und Ziehen - sondern auch durch die Geometrie des zu öffnenden Deckels vor.The lid, which is to consist of an elastically deformable material, can only be removed by simultaneously unlocking the cams and pulling the lid out of the container; the ge The length of the cover on the opposite side of the bar can be made so large that the span between the thumb and forefinger of a toddler and the force to unlock the locking cams at the same time is greater than the children of critical age. So there is child safety not only due to the requirement of overlapping movements - pushing and pulling - but also due to the geometry of the lid to be opened.

Der erfindungsgemässe Deckel ist aber nicht nur kindergesichert auf dem Behälter festzulegen sondern besitzt auch die Funktion einer der Tablettenform des zu handhabenden Produkts typisch angepassten Dosierhilfe; die zum Entriegeln elastisch gegeneinander zu drückenden Stege können nämlich zugleich zum zangenartigen Erfassen und Herausheben von am Deckel anliegenden Tabletten verwendet werden. Die Funktion der zangenartigen Dosierhilfe kann sowohl zum Füllen der Nachfüllpackung als auch zum Dosieren von Tabletten aus der Nachfüllpackung heraus zur Anwendung, z.B. in der jeweiligen Maschine, erfolgen.However, the lid according to the invention is not only to be secured on the container in a child-resistant manner but also has the function of a metering aid which is typically adapted to the tablet shape of the product to be handled; the webs which are to be pressed elastically against one another for unlocking can in fact be used at the same time for tongs-like grasping and lifting out of tablets lying on the cover. The function of the forceps-like dosing aid can be used both for filling the refill pack and for dosing tablets from the refill pack, e.g. in the respective machine.

Gemäss weiterer Erfindung wird der Vorratsbehälter durch mindestens eine parallel zu den durchbrochenen Behälterseitenflächen stehende Trennwand in gleich grosse Kammern zur Aufnahme mehrerer übereinander angeordneter Lagen jeweils flach aneinanderliegender Tabletten unterteilt, wobei die jeweilige Trennwand unterhalb der Unterkante der obersten Tablettenlage endet. Durch diesen Aufbau wird erreicht, dass die Tabletten vor Gebrauch im wesentlichen nicht aneinanderreiben können und in der obersten Lage wegen der dort fehlenden Trennwand für eine effektive Wirkung der Zangenbewegung etwas zusammenzuschieben sind. Im allgemeinen ist es günstig, die Tablettenmenge pro Lage einer Dosierhilfe entsprechend vorzugeben. Ferner kann es günstig sein, die Zahl der Tablettenlagen dem Verbrauch eines bestimmten, beispielsweise der Haltbarkeit einer Tablette entsprechenden Zeitraums, etwa eine Woche oder ein Monat, anzupassen.According to a further invention, the storage container is divided by at least one partition wall parallel to the perforated container side surfaces into chambers of the same size for receiving several superimposed layers of tablets lying flat against one another, the respective partition wall ending below the lower edge of the topmost tablet layer. This structure ensures that the tablets cannot essentially rub against each other before use and that in the uppermost layer they have to be pushed together for an effective effect of the forceps movement because of the missing partition. In general, it is expedient to specify the amount of tablets per layer of a metering aid accordingly. Furthermore, it may be expedient to adapt the number of tablet layers to the consumption of a specific period, for example the shelf life of a tablet, for example a week or a month.

Die Kopfplatte des Deckels des Vorratsbehälters soll eine der Länge einer Tablettenlage entsprechende Länge und eine der Dicke einer Tablettenlage entsprechende Breite besitzen. Die Masse sollen so gewählt werden, dass die Breite der Kopfplatte geringfügig kleiner wird als die lichte Breite der mit dem Deckel zu verschliessenden Öffnung des Vorratsbehälters. Ferner sollen die an die Kopfplatte angeformten Stege in der Breite trapezförmig bis auf die Breite des dem am Stegende vorgesehen Arretiernocken entsprechenden Widerlagers schmaler werden. Der Arretiernocken an jedem Steg kann als keilförmig an der Stegunterkante auslaufender Absatz ausgebildet werden. Weiterhin kann es günstig sein, die Wandstärke der Längsenden der in der Länge etwa dem Durchmesser der zu verpackenden Tabletten entsprechenden Stege zum Steglängsende hin verjüngt auszubilden, so dass auch auf der den Tabletten zugewandten Steginnenfläche eine keilförmige Schräge entsteht, die das Einführen in den gefüllten Vorratsbehälter erleichtert.The top plate of the lid of the storage container should have a length corresponding to the length of a tablet layer and a width corresponding to the thickness of a tablet layer. The dimensions should be chosen so that the width of the top plate is slightly smaller than the clear width of the opening of the storage container to be closed with the lid. Furthermore, the webs formed on the head plate are to become narrower in width trapezoidal to the width of the abutment corresponding to the locking cam provided on the web end. The locking cam on each web can be designed as a wedge-shaped shoulder on the bottom edge of the web. Furthermore, it may be advantageous to design the wall thickness of the longitudinal ends of the webs corresponding to the length of the tablets to be packaged to be tapered toward the longitudinal end of the web, so that a wedge-shaped bevel is also formed on the inner surface of the web facing the tablets, which leads to the insertion into the filled storage container facilitated.

Die Länge des Kopfteils und der Winkel zwischen Kopfteil und angeformten Stegen wird vorzugsweise so ausgelegt, dass ein Einführen in den Vorratsbehälter nur unter einer gewissen Vorspannung der Stege relativ zum Kopfteil möglich ist und die an den Stegenden vorgesehenen Arretiernocken bei Entspannung und Erreichen der zugehörigen Widerlager an diesen fest einrasten. Die Relativstellung soll so vorgesehen werden, dass die äussere Stirnfläche der Kopfplatte des Deckels unterhalb der Oberkante des Vorratsbehälters positioniert wird.The length of the head part and the angle between the head part and the integrally formed webs is preferably designed such that an insertion into the storage container is only possible with a certain preload of the webs relative to the head part and the locking cams provided on the web ends upon relaxation and reaching the associated abutment snap it into place. The relative position is to be provided in such a way that the outer end face of the top plate of the lid is positioned below the upper edge of the storage container.

Gemäss weiterer Erfindung ist es günstig, wenn das den Arretiernocken der Deckelstege zugeordnete Widerlager als vorzugsweise schlitzförmige Durchbrechung der Behälterseitenwand ausgebildet wird. Die den beiden Stegnocken zugeordneten Widerlager sollen sich im übrigen genau gegenüberliegen. Anstelle von Durchbrechungen können vorzugsweise auch stegartige Hinterschneidungen an den Behälterseitenwänden vorgesehen werden.According to a further invention, it is advantageous if the abutment assigned to the locking cams of the cover webs is designed as a preferably slot-shaped opening in the side wall of the container. The abutments assigned to the two web cams should be exactly opposite. Instead of openings, web-like undercuts can preferably also be provided on the side walls of the container.

Kompaktate.The filled, generally designated 1 refill consists of a lower part 2 and a lid 3 and a pair or unpaired number of tablets 4 in several layers, e.g. in the form of cylindrical pellets or compactates.

Das insgesamt mit 2 bezeichnete Unterteil wird nach Fig. 2 aus einem einseitig offenen, kastenförmigen Vorratsbehälter 5 gebildet. Der Vorratsbehälter 5 wird durch mindestens eine Trennwand 6 in gleich grosse Kammern 7 unterteilt. Die Höhe der Trennwand 6 wird bestimmt durch die Dicke bzw. den Durchmesser der zu verpackenden Tabletten 4; wie auch in Fig. 1 dargestellt wird, endet die Trennwand 6 grundsätzlich unterhalb der Unterkante der obersten Lage von Tabletten 4. Die Länge und Breite der Kammern 7 wird so bemessen, dass die Tabletten 4 lose, ohne zu klemmen, auf und ab zu bewegen sind. In den schmalen Stirnseiten bzw. Seitenflächen 8 des Vorratsbehälters 5 wird am oberen Ende jeweils eine etwa halbkreisförmige Ausbuchtung 9 mit Daumen- bzw. Fingerbreite vorgesehen. Unterhalb der Ausbuchtung 9, jedoch oberhalb der obersten Kante 10 der Trennwand 6 werden in die Seitenflächen 8 zwei sich genau gegenüberliegende Durchbrechungen, z.B. mit Schlitzform, eingebracht. Anstelle der Durchbrechungen 11 können auch z.B. stegartige Hinterschneidungen an den Seitenflächen 8 angebracht werden.The lower part, designated overall by 2, is formed according to FIG. 2 from a box-shaped storage container 5 which is open on one side. The storage container 5 is divided into chambers 7 of equal size by at least one partition 6. The height of the partition 6 is determined by the thickness or the diameter of the tablets 4 to be packed; As is also shown in FIG. 1, the partition 6 basically ends below the lower edge of the uppermost layer of tablets 4. The length and width of the chambers 7 are dimensioned such that the tablets 4 move up and down loosely without jamming are. In the narrow end faces or side surfaces 8 of the storage container 5, an approximately semicircular bulge 9 with thumb or finger width is provided at the upper end. Below the bulge 9, but above the uppermost edge 10 of the partition 6, two exactly opposite openings, e.g. with slot shape, introduced. Instead of the openings 11, e.g. web-like undercuts are attached to the side surfaces 8.

Der in Fig. 3 dargestellte Schnitt durch einen Dekkel 3 zeigt eine Kopfplatte 12 mit an deren beiden Enden unter etwas weniger als 90° abgewinkelt angeformten Stegen 13. Die Breite der Kopfplatte 12 wird geringfügig kleiner als die lichte Breite des Vorratsbehälters 5 gewählt. Die Stege 13 der Kopfplatte 12 verlaufen in ihrer Breite dachförmig bzw. trapezförmig schmaler werdend bis auf die Breite der jeweiligen Durchbrechung 11 der Seitenflächen 8 aus. An die Aussenseiten der Stege 13 werden zur Stegunterkante 14 hin sich keilförmig verjüngende Arretiernocken 15 angeformt, deren nicht dargestellte Breite geringfügig kleiner als die Breite der Widerlager - hier Durchbrechungen 11 - gewählt wird. Die Wandstärke der Stege 13, deren Länge in etwa dem Durchmesser der Tabletten 4 entsprechen soll, wird sich im unteren Bereich verjüngend ausbilden, so dass eine keilförmige Schräge 16 auf der Deckelinnenseite entsteht.The section shown in FIG. 3 through a lid 3 shows a head plate 12 with webs 13 formed at both ends at an angle of slightly less than 90 °. The width of the head plate 12 is selected to be slightly smaller than the clear width of the storage container 5. The webs 13 of the head plate 12 are roof-shaped or trapezoidal in width Mig narrowing down to the width of the respective opening 11 of the side surfaces 8. On the outer sides of the webs 13, wedge-shaped tapering locking cams 15 are formed toward the lower web edge 14, the width of which, not shown, is selected to be slightly smaller than the width of the abutment - in this case openings 11. The wall thickness of the webs 13, the length of which should correspond approximately to the diameter of the tablets 4, will taper in the lower region, so that a wedge-shaped bevel 16 is formed on the inside of the lid.

Die zwischen den beiden Stegen 13 gemessene Länge der Kopfplatte 12 wird so ausgelegt, dass ein Einführen des Deckels 3 in den Vorratsbehälter 5 mit in Richtung 17 zusammengepressten Stegen 13 möglich ist und die Nocken 15 beim Erreichen der Durchbrechungen 11 und Aufheben der Vorspannung in Pfeilrichtung 17, in die Durchbrechungen einschnappen. In diesem geschlossenen Zustand der Nachfüllpackung 1 soll die äussere Stirnfläche der Kopfplatte 12 des Deckels 3 unterhalb der Oberkante 18 des Vorratsbehälters 5 positioniert werden.The length of the head plate 12 measured between the two webs 13 is designed such that it is possible to insert the cover 3 into the storage container 5 with webs 13 pressed together in the direction 17 and the cams 15 when the openings 11 are reached and the pretension is released in the direction of the arrow 17 , snap into the openings. In this closed state of the refill 1, the outer end face of the head plate 12 of the lid 3 is to be positioned below the upper edge 18 of the storage container 5.

Die erfindungsgemässe Nachfüllpackung wird auf folgende Weise bedient:The refill pack according to the invention is operated in the following way:

Die kindergesicherte Nachfüllpackung soll eine vorgegebene Produktmenge aufnehmen. Zum Füllen des Unterteils 2 wird zunächst der Deckel 3 abgenommen. Hierzu werden die Stege 13 bzw. deren Nocken 15 durch seitliches Zusammendrücken im Bereich der Ausbuchtungen 9 der Seitenflächen 8 entriegelt. Der Deckel 3 kann nunmehr nach Fig. 4 wie eine Zange zum Greifen von im Ausführungsbeispiel jeweils zwei Tabletten 4 aus einer Verkaufseinheit und Einlegen in den Vorratsbehälter 5 benutzt werden, so dass das Unterteil 2 ohne Hautkontakt mit Produkt zu füllen ist.The childproof refill pack is designed to hold a specified amount of product. To fill the lower part 2, the cover 3 is first removed. For this purpose, the webs 13 or their cams 15 are unlocked by lateral compression in the region of the bulges 9 of the side surfaces 8. 4, the lid 3 can now be used like a pair of pliers for gripping two tablets 4 from a sales unit in the exemplary embodiment and inserting them into the storage container 5, so that the lower part 2 can be filled with product without skin contact.

Nach Überwinden der Vorspannung des Deckels 3 gegenüber den lichten Massen des Unterteils 2 hervorgerufen durch die nicht ganz rechtwinklige Abkantung der Stege 13 und die vorstehenden Nocken 15 lässt sich der Deckel 3 in das gefüllte Unterteil 2 einschieben. Dieser Vorgang wird einerseits erleichtert durch die mit den Schrägen 16 endenden Stegunterkanten 14 und andererseits durch das Fehlen einer Trennwand 6 im Bereich der obersten Tablettenlage. Wegen der fehlenden Trennwand können die Tabletten 4 der obersten Lage um einen der Trennwanddicke entsprechenden Betrag zur Mitte der Tablettenlage hin ausweichen. Der Deckel 3 wird beim Schliessen der Nachfüllpackung 1 so weit in das Unterteil eingeschoben, bis die Nocken 15 sichtbar und/oder hörbar durch das Rückstellvermögen des verwendeten elastischen Materials in den Durchbrechungen 11 einrasten.After overcoming the pre-tension of the cover 3 with respect to the internal masses of the lower part 2 caused by the not quite right-angled bending of the webs 13 and the protruding cams 15, the cover 3 can be pushed into the filled lower part 2. This process is facilitated on the one hand by the lower edge 14 of the web ending with the bevels 16 and on the other hand by the lack of a partition 6 in the area of the uppermost tablet layer. Because of the lack of a dividing wall, the tablets 4 of the uppermost layer can yield to the middle of the tablet layer by an amount corresponding to the dividing wall thickness. When the refill pack 1 is closed, the cover 3 is pushed into the lower part until the cams 15 engage visibly and / or audibly in the openings 11 due to the resilience of the elastic material used.

Die so vorbereitete Nachfüllpackung 1 ist kindergesichert verschlossen, weil die Spannweite zwischen Daumen und Zeigefinger sowie die aufzubringende Kraft zum Entriegeln der Nocken 15 grösser sind, als sie Kindern im kritischen Alter zur Verfügung stehen. Hinzu kommt eine doppelte Sicherung dadurch, dass nur durch überlagernde Bewegungen, nämlich gleichzeitiges Drücken und Ziehen, ein Öffnen des Deckels möglich ist. Solche ein Abstrahieren erfordernde Arbeiten können Kinder der gefährdeten Altersgruppe erfahrungsgemäss nicht ausführen.The refill pack 1 prepared in this way is childproof, because the span between the thumb and forefinger and the force to unlock the cams 15 are greater than are available to children of critical age. In addition, there is a double securing that the cover can only be opened by overlapping movements, namely simultaneous pressing and pulling. Experience has shown that children of the vulnerable age group cannot carry out such work that requires abstraction.

Die Entnahme der obersten Tablettenlage kann nach Fig. 4 in der oben beschriebenen Weise bei aufrechtstehender Packung erfolgen. Dazu ist lediglich ein etwas grösserer Kraftaufwand für das sichere Halten der jeweiligen Tablettenlage als für das blosse Entriegeln der Nocken 15 erforderlich. Ein Abrutschen der jeweils zangenartig gefassten Tablettenlage 20 nach Fig. 4 wird erschwert bzw. die zum Zusammenpressen in Pressrichtung 19 erforderliche Kraft wird auf einen zumutbaren Bereich begrenzt, wenn auf den der Tablettenlage 20 zugewendeten Innenflächen der Stege 13 eine Profilierung 21 vorgesehen wird.4 can be removed in the manner described above with the pack upright. All that is required is a somewhat greater expenditure of force for securely holding the respective tablet position than for merely unlocking the cams 15. 4 is made more difficult to slide off or the force required for pressing in the pressing direction 19 is limited to a reasonable range if a profile 21 is provided on the inner surfaces of the webs 13 facing the tablet layer 20.

Während die oberste Tablettenlage einer gefüllten Packung in aufrechtstehender Packungsposition zu entnehmen ist, erfolgt das Ergreifen der weiteren Tablettenlagen zweckmässig in Schräglage bzw. Überkopfstellung der Packung, so dass die nachfolgenden Tablettenlagen in Richtung Deckel 3 rollen und die nunmehr vorderste Lage wie gehabt zu entnehmen ist.While the uppermost tablet layer of a filled package can be found in the upright packaging position, the other tablet layers are appropriately gripped in the inclined position or overhead position of the package, so that the subsequent tablet layers roll in the direction of lid 3 and the front layer can now be removed as before.
