Abstract

A packaging tube for compressed tablets, pills and similar products is provided with a bottom cavity which is separated from the container portion of the tube by a partition wall, a removable box being inserted in the cavity in the same manner as an end plug. The removable box is formed by two half-shells which are connected together by means of a flexible tongue. The half-shells cooperate so as to form a closed box by means of a skirt extending from the flat portion of the half-shell which forms the base of the box and by means of a rib carried by the internal face of the flat main portion of the half-shell which forms the lid of the box, the rib being applied against the internal face of the skirt. The closed box can be introduced into the cavity in the same manner as an end-plug or stopper by virtue of the skirt, which is provided with an abutment shoulder.

Description

L'invention concerne un tube de conditionnement pour comprimés, cachets et articles similaires.The invention relates to a packaging tube for tablets, cachets and the like.

Les comprimés, cachets, gélules et autres pilules sont souvent conditionnés dans des tubes ou flacons, en verre ou en matière plastique. En raison de la taille des produits en cause ou de leur quantité, les tubes peuvent avoir des dimensions importantes et les patients répugnent parfois à s'encombrer de ceux-ci lorsqu'ils doivent quitter leur domicile pour quelques heures ou même quelques jours selon la posologie qu'ils ont à respecter.Tablets, cachets, capsules and other pills are often packaged in tubes or vials, in glass or plastic. Due to the size of the products in question or their quantity, the tubes can have large dimensions and patients are sometimes reluctant to clutter them when they have to leave their home for a few hours or even a few days depending on the dosage they have to follow.

Pour remédier à cet inconvénient, la présente invention fournit un tube de conditionnement en matière plastique, pour comprimés, cachets et produits similaires, qui comporte à sa partie inférieure une cavité, formée entre une cloison du tube et la paroi latérale du tube, dans laquelle vient se loger une boîte amovible de réserve formant bouchon.To overcome this drawback, the present invention provides a plastic packaging tube for tablets, cachets and similar products, which has at its lower part a cavity, formed between a partition of the tube and the side wall of the tube, in which houses a removable reserve box forming a stopper.

La boîte est constituée de deux demi-coquilles réunies par une languette souple leur permettant de venir en vis-à-vis pour former la boîte.The box consists of two half-shells joined by a flexible tab allowing them to come opposite to form the box.

La coquille constituant le fond de la boîte comporte une partie principale plane d'où fait saillie une jupe verticale dont les dimensions extérieures correspondent aux dimensions intérieures de la cavité du tube, un épaulement faisant butée contre l'extrémité de la paroi de la cavité.The shell constituting the bottom of the box has a flat main part from which protrudes a vertical skirt whose external dimensions correspond to the internal dimensions of the tube cavity, a shoulder abutting against the end of the wall of the cavity.

La coquille constituant le couvercle de la boîte comporte une partie principale plane entourée d'une nervure destinée à venir s'emboîter contre la paroi interne de la jupe de la coquille de fond et d'un rebord venant s'appuyer sur l'extrémité de la jupe.The shell constituting the lid of the box has a flat main part surrounded by a rib intended to come to fit against the internal wall of the skirt of the bottom shell and a flange coming to bear on the end of the skirt.

D'autres avantages et caractéristiques de l'invention apparaîtront à la lecture de la description qui suit, en référence aux dessins dans lesquels :

  • la figure 1 est une vue partiellement en coupe d'un tube selon l'invention,
  • la figure 2 est une vue de dessus de la boîte ouverte.
Other advantages and characteristics of the invention will appear on reading the following description, with reference to the drawings in which:
  • FIG. 1 is a partially sectional view of a tube according to the invention,
  • Figure 2 is a top view of the open box.

Le tube de conditionnement (1) est un tube cylindrique comportant une partie contenant (2) proprement dite, fermée à sa partie supérieure par un bouchon (3) classique; celui représenté sur la figure 1 est par exemple muni d'un dispositif (3a) souple limitant le déplacement des comprimés dans le tube. La paroi latérale (5) du tube (1)se prolonge au-delà de la cloison (4) fermant la partie contenant (2) en formant une cavité (6).The packaging tube (1) is a cylindrical tube comprising a container part (2) proper, closed at its upper part by a conventional plug (3); that shown in Figure 1 is for example provided with a flexible device (3a) limiting the movement of the tablets in the tube. The side wall (5) of the tube (1) extends beyond the partition (4) closing the container part (2) by forming a cavity (6).

Cette cavité est fermée par un bouchon constituant une boîte amovible. Le bouchon se compose de deux demi-coquilles avantageusement réunies par une languette souple (15). La coquille constituant le fond de la boîte a un contour circulaire coupé selon une corde : on a ainsi un bord droit formant un espace entre le bouchon et la paroi de la cavité qui facilite l'enlèvement du bouchon. Une jupe (7) faisant saillie de la partie plane (8) assure le maintien du bouchon dans la cavité du fait de ses deux portions en arc de cercle concentriques à la cavité et reliées entre elles par des portions rectilignes parallèles au bord droit de la coquille. La partie supérieure de la jupe (7) est légèrement moins épaisse dans les portions en arc de cercle après un épaulement (13). Un épaulement (14) fait butée contre l'extrémité de la paroi (5) de la cavité (6). La partie principale plane (8) du fond peut comporter une partie centrale rehaussée délimitée par une ligne (8a) ayant ou non le même contour que la jupe (7), mais ceci n'est qu'un détail ne constituant pas l'invention.This cavity is closed by a plug constituting a removable box. The stopper is made up of two half-shells advantageously joined by a flexible tongue (15). The shell constituting the bottom of the box has a circular outline cut along a cord: there is thus a straight edge forming a space between the stopper and the wall of the cavity which facilitates the removal of the stopper. A skirt (7) projecting from the flat part (8) maintains the plug in the cavity because of its two portions in an arc of a circle concentric with the cavity and connected together by rectilinear portions parallel to the right edge of the shell. The upper part of the skirt (7) is slightly thinner in the portions in an arc after a shoulder (13). A shoulder (14) abuts against the end of the wall (5) of the cavity (6). The main flat part (8) of the bottom may include a raised central part delimited by a line (8a) having or not the same outline as the skirt (7), but this is only a detail not constituting the invention .

La demi-coquille formant le couvercle de la boîte a un contour extérieur à portions en arc de cercle reliées par deux portions rectilignes, la languette de liaison (15) se trouvant entre la portion rectiligne du fond et une première portion rectiligne du couvercle. L'emboîtement des deux demi-coquilles se fait grâce à une nervure (11) faisant saillie depuis la face interne de la partie plate (10) du couvercle, un rebord (12) venant recouvrir la partie supérieure de la jupe (7). La forme et les dimensions de la nervure (11) sont telles que la nervure vient se placer élastiquement contre la face interne (9) de la jupe (7). Sur la portion rectiligne libre, il est prévu de préférence une patte (16) arrondie facilitant l'ouverture de la boîte. Une ligne de pliage (17) facilite la mise en place du couvercle sur le fond par flexion de la languette. Lorsque la boîte est fermée, on peut l'introduire à la façon d'un bouchon dans la cavité (6).The half-shell forming the lid of the box has an outer contour with portions in an arc connected by two rectilinear portions, the connecting tab (15) being located between the rectilinear portion of the bottom and a first rectilinear portion of the lid. The two half-shells are fitted together by a rib (11) projecting from the internal face of the flat part (10) of the cover, a flange (12) covering the upper part of the skirt (7). The shape and dimensions of the rib (11) are such that the rib is placed elastically against the internal face (9) of the skirt (7). On the free rectilinear portion, there is preferably provided a rounded tab (16) facilitating the opening of the box. A fold line (17) facilitates the positioning of the cover on the bottom by bending the tongue. When the box is closed, it can be introduced like a plug into the cavity (6).

Lorsque le patient désire n'emporter que quelques comprimés, il sort la boîte de la cavité (6), y place le nombre de comprimés voulu et n'a alors à glisser dans ses affaires qu'une boîte peu encombrante. En cas de non-utilisation de la boîte, il la replace dans la cavité pour éviter de la perdre.When the patient wishes to take only a few tablets, he takes out the box from the cavity (6), places the desired number of tablets there and then has only to store in his belongings a space-saving box. If the box is not used, he replaces it in the cavity to avoid losing it.

Le tube de conditionnement est fabriqué de préférence en matière plastique rigide, par exemple sous forme d'un forme d'un tube à deux extrémités ouvertes comportant une cloison divisant l'intérieur en deux parties inégales, la partie contenant (2) d'une part et la cavité (6) d'autre part. Le bouchon (3) peut être de n'importe quel type classique, tandis que la boîte amovible est réalisée par exemple en matière plastique souple pour permettre la flexion de la languette (15).The packaging tube is preferably made of rigid plastic, for example in the form of a tube with two open ends comprising a partition dividing the interior into two unequal parts, the part containing (2) a part and the cavity (6) on the other hand. The plug (3) can be of any conventional type, while the removable box is made, for example, of flexible plastic material to allow bending of the tongue (15).

Il est entendu que certains détails mentionnés ci-dessus peuvent être modifiés sans changer la portée de l'invention.It is understood that certain details mentioned above can be modified without changing the scope of the invention.
