Abstract

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren zur Herstellung einer Originalitätssicherung an einer Tube 1. Der abbrechbare Halsfortsatz 3 am Hals 2 einer Tube 1 wird am Rand 7 eines Hülsenabschnittes der Kappe 5, wie bei 8 dargestellt, vernietet. Nach Abbrechen des Halsfortsatzes 3 zur Benutzung der Tube 1 kann zwar die Kappe 5 wieder aufgesteckt werden, jedoch ist diese Steckverbindung derart lose, daß die Kappe bei einem nochmaligen Ergreifen der Tube 1 sich sofort vom Hals 2 löst, wodurch die bereits stattgefundene Benutzung angezeigt wird.The invention relates to a method for producing a tamper-evident device on a tube 1. The breakable neck extension 3 on the neck 2 of a tube 1 is riveted to the edge 7 of a sleeve section of the cap 5, as shown at 8. After breaking off the neck extension 3 to use the tube 1, the cap 5 can be put back on, but this plug-in connection is so loose that the cap detaches itself from the neck 2 when the tube 1 is gripped again, indicating the use that has already taken place .

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren zur Herstellung einer Originalitätssche­rung an einer Tube für flüssiges, pastöses oder pulverförmiges Gut, insbesondere Arzneimittel, an deren Hals ein abbrechbarer, eine Austrittsöffnung abschließender Halsfortsatz angeformt ist, der mit einer aufgesetzten Kappe kraft- oder formschlüssig in Eingriff steht, und eine Tube für flüssiges, pastöses oder pulverförmiges Gut, insbesondere Arzneimittel, an deren Hals ein abbrech­barer, eine Austrittsöffnung abschließender Halsfortsatz angeformt ist, der mit einer aufge­setzten Kappe kraft- oder formschlüssig in Eingriff steht.The invention relates to a method for producing an original shear on a tube for liquid, pasty or powdery material, in particular medicinal products, on the neck of which is formed a breakable neck extension which closes off an outlet opening and which engages in a force-fitting or form-fitting manner with an attached cap, and a tube for liquid, pasty or powdery material, in particular pharmaceuticals, on the neck of which a breakable neck extension is formed, which closes off an outlet opening and which engages in a force-fitting or form-fitting manner with an attached cap.

Aus der DE-PS 26 53 993 ist ein Behälter mit abbrech­barem Verschluß zur Aufnahme und dosierten Abgabe von flüssigem, pastösem oder pulverförmigem Gut, beispielsweise Arzneimittel bekannt. Bei dem bekannten Behälter ist am vorderen Ende des Behälterhalses ein an einer vorgebildeten, vertieft angeordneten Sollbruch­stelle abbrechbarer Halsfortsatz in dicht verschließen­der Überdeckung der Auslaßöffnung angeformt. Zusätz­lich ist eine, auf das vordere Ende des Halses aufsetz­bare Kappe vorgesehen. Dieser Behälter kann nach der ersten Benutzung wieder mit der Kappe verschlossen wer­den, die entweder mittels eines Rasteingriffes oder eines Preßsitzes am Behälter festgehalten wird. Die Manipulation einer zweiten oder weiteren nachfolgenden Öffnung und der erforderliche Kraftaufwand sind diesel­ben wie bei der ersten Öffnung, so daß der Benutzer nicht feststellen kann, ob der Behälter noch original verschlossen ist.From DE-PS 26 53 993 a container with a breakable closure for receiving and metered delivery of liquid, pasty or powdery material, for example pharmaceuticals, is known. In the known container, at the front end of the container neck, a neck extension that can be broken off at a pre-formed, deeply arranged predetermined breaking point is formed in a tightly sealing overlap of the outlet opening. In addition, a cap that can be placed on the front end of the neck is provided. After the first use, this container can be closed again with the cap, which is held onto the container either by means of a locking engagement or a press fit. The manipulation of a second or subsequent opening and the amount of force required are the same as for the first opening, so that the user cannot determine whether the container is still originally sealed.

Bei der Entnahme bestimmter Materialien, insbesondere Arzneimitteln aus Behältern ist oft eine Originalitäts­sicherung, d.h. ein eindeutiger Hinweis für den Benutzer, daß der Behälter noch nicht geoffnet wurde, erforderlich.When certain materials, in particular medicinal products, are removed from containers, tamper-proof is often required, i.e. a clear indication to the user that the container has not yet been opened is required.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, für Tuben der eingangs beschriebenen Art eine einfache Originalitäts­sicherung zur Verfügung zu stellen.The invention has for its object to provide a simple tamper evidence for tubes of the type described above.

Erfindungsgemäß wird diese Aufgabe durch das Verfahren zur Herstellung einer Originalitätssiche­rung an einer Tube für flüssiges, pastöses oder pulverförmiges Gut, insbesondere Arzneimittel, an deren Hals ein abbrechbarer, eine Austrittsöffnung abschließender Halsfortsatz angeformt ist, der mit einer aufgesetzten Kappe kraft- oder formschlüssig in Eingriff steht, das dadurch gekennzeichnet ist, daß nach dem Füllen und Verschließen der Tube

  • 1. ein Abschnitt (4) des Halsfortsatzes (3) oder ein an diesem ausgebildeter Ansatz durch eine in der Kappe (5) ausgebildete Öffnung (6) geführt und
  • 2. zur Bildung eines den Rand (7) der Öffnung (6) übergreifenden Flansches (8) verformt wird,
und die Tube für flüssiges, pastöses oder pulverförmiges Gut, insbesondere Arzneimittel, an deren Hals ein abbrech­barer, eine Austrittsöffnung abschließender Halsfortsatz angeformt ist, der mit einer aufge­setzten Kappe kraft- oder formschlüssig in Eingriff steht, die dadurch gekennzeichnet ist, daß
  • 1. die Kappe (5) in der Stirnseite eine Öffnung (6) und
  • 2. der Halsfortsatz (3) einen, aus der Öffnung (6) der aufgesteckten Kappe (5) herausragenden Abschnitt (4) oder Ansatz aufweisen,
gelöst.According to the invention, this object is achieved by the method for producing a tamper-evident device on a tube for liquid, pasty or powdery material, in particular medicinal products, on the neck of which a molded-on neck extension, which closes off an outlet opening, is integrally formed and which engages in a force-fitting or form-fitting manner with an attached cap , which is characterized in that after filling and closing the tube
  • 1. a section (4) of the cervical process (3) or an extension formed on this through an opening (6) formed in the cap (5) and
  • 2. is deformed to form a flange (8) overlapping the edge (7) of the opening (6),
and the tube for liquid, pasty or powdery material, in particular medicinal products, on the neck of which is formed a breakable neck extension which closes off an outlet opening and which engages non-positively or positively with an attached cap, which is characterized in that
  • 1. the cap (5) in the end face an opening (6) and
  • 2. the neck extension (3) has a section (4) or extension projecting from the opening (6) of the attached cap (5),
solved.

Durch das erfindungsgemäße Verfahren wird mit Vorteil eine formschlüssige Verbindung zwischen dem Halsansatz der Tube und der auf diesen aufgesteckten Kappe herge­stellt. Es ist nur erforderlich, an der Stirnseite der Kappe eine Öffnung auszubilden, d.h. den bisher ver­schlossenen Hülsenabschnitt der Kappe, der kraft- oder formschlüssig den Halsfortsatz aufnimmt, zu öffnen und einen Abschnitt des Halsfortsatzes oder einen an diesem ausgebildeten Ansatz durch die so entstandene Öffnung zu führen. Zur Bildung eines den Rand der Öffnung übergrei­fenden Flansches erfolgt dann eine Verformung dieses Abschnittes oder Ansatzes. Auf diese Weise wird eine formschlüssige Verbindung nach Art einer Nietverbindung hergestellt.The method according to the invention advantageously creates a positive connection between the neck of the tube and the cap attached to it. It is only necessary to form an opening on the face of the cap, i.e. to open the previously closed sleeve section of the cap, which receives the neck extension in a force-fitting or positive manner, and to guide a section of the neck extension or an attachment formed on the neck extension through the opening thus created. This section or extension is then deformed to form a flange that overlaps the edge of the opening. In this way, a positive connection is made in the manner of a riveted connection.

Wenn die Tube durch Abbrechen des Halsfortsatzes geöffnet ist, kann zwar die Kappe wieder auf den Hals der Tube aufgesteckt werden, sie fällt jedoch sofort von der Tube ab, wenn diese ergriffen wird, so daß der Benutzer erkennt, daß diese Tube bereits geöffnet wurde.If the tube is opened by breaking off the neck extension, the cap can be put back on the neck of the tube, but it immediately falls off the tube when it is gripped, so that the user can see that this tube has already been opened.

In vorteilhafter Weise wird zur Durchführung des Verfah­rens eine Tube verwendet, deren Kappe in der Stirnseite eine Öffnung aufweist. Der den Halsfortsatz kraft- oder formschlüssig aufnehmende Hülsenabschnitt der Kappe ist als beidseitig offene Hülse ausgebildet. Der Halsfort­satz weist einen aus dieser Öffnung der aufgesteckten Kappe herausragenden Abschnitt oder Ansatz auf. Bie einer Ausführungsform ist der Halsfortsatz länger ausge­ bildet als der diesen aufnehmende Hülsenabschnitt an der Kappe. Bei einer anderen Ausführungsform ist am Halsfortsatz ein nippelartiger Ansatz ausgebildet, der sich durch die Öffnung der aufgesteckten Kappe er­streckt.A tube is advantageously used to carry out the method, the cap of which has an opening in the end face. The sleeve section of the cap that receives the neck extension in a non-positive or positive manner is designed as a sleeve that is open on both sides. The neck extension has a section or extension protruding from this opening of the attached cap. In one embodiment, the neck process is longer forms as the receiving sleeve portion on the cap. In another embodiment, a nipple-like extension is formed on the neck extension, which extends through the opening of the attached cap.

Es ist besonders vorteilhaft, das erfindungsgemäße Verfahren bei Tuben anzuwenden, deren Hals als Rektal­kanüle ausgebildet ist. Mit besonderem Vorteil besteht bei diesen Tuben der Tubenkörper aus einem Laminat, insbesonder aus einem Al/PE-Laminat und trägt einen angespritzten oder eingesetzten Hals.It is particularly advantageous to apply the method according to the invention to tubes whose neck is designed as a rectal cannula. It is particularly advantageous for these tubes to have a tube body made of a laminate, in particular an Al / PE laminate, and a molded or inserted neck.

Ein Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung soll unter Bezug­nahme auf die Figuren der Zeichnung erläutert werden. Es zeigen:

  • Fig. 1 eine schematische Schnittansicht einer Tube,
  • Fig. 2 eine schematische Schnittansicht einer Kappe,
  • Fig. 3 eine Schnittansicht einer Tube mit aufgesteckter Kappe, bei der ein Teil des Hals­fortsatzes weggebrochen ist
    und
  • Fig. 4 eine Tube mit der erfindungsgemäß hergestellten Originalitätssicherung.
An embodiment of the invention will be explained with reference to the figures of the drawing. Show it:
  • 1 is a schematic sectional view of a tube,
  • 2 is a schematic sectional view of a cap,
  • Fig. 3 is a sectional view of a tube with a cap attached, in which a part of the neck process has broken away
    and
  • Fig. 4 is a tube with the tamper-evident device according to the invention.

In Fig. 1 ist eine Tube 1 dargestellt. Diese Tube 1 besteht aus einem Laminat, insbesondere aus einem Al/PE-­Laminat. Beim dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel ist in diese Tube ein Hals 2 eingesetzt. Dieser Hals 2 ist als Rektalkanüle ausgebildet.A tube 1 is shown in FIG. 1. This tube 1 consists of a laminate, in particular an Al / PE laminate. In the illustrated embodiment, a neck 2 is inserted into this tube. This neck 2 is designed as a rectal cannula.

Am Hals 2 ist unter Ausbildung einer Sollbruchstelle 9 ein Halsfortsatz 3 angeformt. Dieser Halsfortsatz 3 schließt die Mündungsöffnung des Halses 2 ab. Der Hals­fortsatz 3 weist eine an seinem Umfang ausgebildete Verzahnung 10 auf.A neck extension 3 is formed on the neck 2 to form a predetermined breaking point 9. This neck extension 3 closes the mouth opening of the neck 2. The neck extension 3 has teeth 10 formed on its circumference.

In Fig. 2 ist eine Kappe 5 neben der in Fig. 1 dargestellten Tube 1 relative zu dieser in einer Höhenlage dargestellt, die diese Kappe 5 im, auf die Tube 1 aufgesteckten Zustand einnimmt.FIG. 2 shows a cap 5 next to the tube 1 shown in FIG. 1, relative to the tube 1 at a height, which cap 5 takes up when the tube 1 is plugged on.

Die Kappe 5 weist einen Hülsenabschnitt 11 auf, in dem eine Innenverzahnung 12 ausgebildet ist. Wenn, wie Fig. 3 zeigt, die Kappe 5 auf den Hals 2 der Tube 1 aufge­steckt ist, ragt der in Fig. 1 dargestellte Abschnitt 4 des Halsfortsatzes 3 aus der Öffnung 6 des Hülsenabschnittes 11 heraus. Beim Aufstecken der Kappe 5 auf den Hals 2 gelangen die Verzahnungen 10 und 12 miteinander in Eingriff, so daß eine formschlüssige, drehfeste Verbindung geschaffen wird.The cap 5 has a sleeve section 11 in which an internal toothing 12 is formed. If, as shown in FIG. 3, the cap 5 is attached to the neck 2 of the tube 1, the section 4 of the neck extension 3 shown in FIG. 1 protrudes from the opening 6 of the sleeve section 11. When the cap 5 is placed on the neck 2, the toothings 10 and 12 come into engagement with one another, so that a positive, non-rotatable connection is created.

Durch eine Verformung des in den Figuren 1 und 3 darge­stellten Abschnittes 4 des Halsfortsatzes 3 wird der in Fig. 4 dargestellte Flansch 8 ausgebildet, der den Rand 7 an der Öffnung 6 bzw. am Hülsenabschnitt 11 über­greift. Es wird auf diese Weise eine nietartige Verbin­dung zwischen der Kappe 5 und dem Hals 2 bzw. dem Halsfortsatz 3 hergestellt. Diese nietartige Verbindung gewährleistet einerseits einen sicheren Sitz der Kappe 5 an der Tube 1, solange die Tube 1 original verschlossen ist. Andererseits wird es durch diese Nietverbindung möglich, den Sitz der Kappe 5 am Hals 2 derart lose zu gestalten, daß nach einem Aufbrechen der Tube durch ein Abdrehen des Halsfortsatzes 3 die Kappe 5 wieder so locker auf den Hals aufgesteckt werden kann, daß sie sich bei einer versuchten Wiederverwendung sofort von der Tube 1 löst und dem Benutzer anzeigt, daß die Tube 1 schon einmal geöffnet wurde.The flange 8 shown in FIG. 4 is formed by a deformation of the section 4 of the neck extension 3 shown in FIGS. 1 and 3, which overlaps the edge 7 at the opening 6 or on the sleeve section 11. In this way, a rivet-like connection between the cap 5 and the neck 2 or the neck extension 3 is produced. This rivet-like connection ensures on the one hand a secure fit of the cap 5 on the tube 1 as long as the tube 1 is originally closed. On the other hand, this rivet connection makes it possible to design the seat of the cap 5 on the neck 2 so loosely that after breaking open the tube by unscrewing the neck extension 3, the cap 5 can be put back on the neck so loosely that it can be found at an attempted reuse immediately detaches from the tube 1 and indicates to the user that the tube 1 has already been opened.
