Definitions

  • the invention relates to a closure for a medication bottle, comprising a sealing element made of polymeric material which can be placed on the mouth of the medication bottle and which is pressed against the mouth by a metallic crimp cap, the crimp cap in the region of its base having a tear-out section delimited by a line of weakness with a first fastening point on which a grip element is fastened, the grip element consisting of a cover which covers the crimp cap in its entirety, the cover and the base outside the tear-out section being additionally connected by a second fastening point and the cover being provided with a joint which extends between the first and the second fastening point transversely to the imaginary connecting line.
  • Such a closure is shown in the earlier application, file number P 41 32 896.5.
  • the line of weakness in the bottom of the crimp cap is recessed in the region of the hinge of the lid in order to prevent the crimp cap from being unintentionally torn off the bottle neck.
  • the joint is formed by a V-shaped groove, the flank surface of which preferably form an obtuse angle from 100 to 135 °.
  • the part of the cover which is gripped by the first fastening point is raised until the two flank surfaces of the V-shaped groove touch each other.
  • the liquid can be removed from the medication bottle.
  • the non-self-contained formation of the tear line which is recessed in the area of the groove, and the design of the groove in the plastic cover make it more difficult to expose the tear-out section.
  • the front part of the lid which engages with the central pull-out part of the crimp cap, resiliently springs back towards its starting position after opening and thereby closes part of the puncture opening if it is not held back by the operating personnel. This is disadvantageous with regard to simple handling of the closure.
  • the invention has for its object to develop a closure of the type mentioned in such a way that the handling of the closure is simplified and the puncture point below the tear-out section remains completely open after opening the front cover part.
  • the closure parts and the medication bottle should be able to be separated from one another without any problems in order to be able to recycle the individual parts.
  • the front part of the cover which overlaps the pull-out section, is parallel to the floor when pivoting back about the joint the rear part of the lid can be put on.
  • the advantage here is that after the front part of the lid has been lifted off and the tear-out section separated along the line of weakness in the region of the mouth of the medication bottle, the opening of the crimp cap is not at least partially closed again by springing back due to the joint in the lid.
  • the line of weakness completely surrounds the tear-out section in the region of the mouth of the medication bottle. Due to the self-contained, preferably circular configuration of the weakening line, the pull-out section is completely separated from the bottom of the crimp cap when the front part of the cover is lifted off. Because the pull-out section is then no longer connected to the bottom of the crimp cap, it cannot spring back elastically in the direction of the starting position.
  • This configuration significantly improves the handling of the closure for the medication bottle, since the operating personnel do not have to keep the front lid part in the open position while, for example, a syringe is inserted into the medication bottle to remove the content.
  • the front and the rear part of the cover can be provided with push-button elements which can be brought into engagement with one another.
  • This configuration in which the push-button elements can be brought into engagement with one another in a frictional or positive manner, enables the medication bottle to be used in any position, since the front cover part on the rear cover part is reliably held in the open position even when the contents of the Drug bottle should be removed overhead. If the closure for the medication bottle is designed in such a way that the line of weakness is not self-contained and is still connected in a partial area to the bottom of the crimp cap after opening the front part of the lid, the connection between the tear-out section and the bottom cannot handle the closure to affect. In this case, too, the front, pivoted-back part is reliably held on the rear part of the cover by the push-button elements.
  • the lid can be made of polymer material.
  • the simple, economically economical producibility is of particular importance here.
  • Such caps ensure a germ-free seal between the plastic lid and the crimp cap, even with small bottle diameters.
  • the hinge between the front part of the lid and the rear part of the lid can be formed by a film hinge.
  • the function of such a joint is completely sufficient for the present application, since this point is not subject to a large number of load changes.
  • This configuration requires a part-poor construction of the closure, which means that production is favorable in terms of production technology and economy. Due to the small number of parts made of different materials, the closure according to the invention can be easily recycled.
  • a reliable, form-fitting fixing of the cover on the bottom of the crimp cap can be achieved in that the crimp cap of the first and / or the second fastening point is provided with at least one opening, that the cover passes through the opening with a projection and that the projection underneath the opening is thickened.
  • both fastening points preferably pass through an opening in the cover with a projection. Due to the positive connection of the cover and the crimp cap in the area of the first fastening point, the pull-out section can be separated from the bottom of the crimp cap along the weakening line using small forces of the operating personnel.
  • the second attachment point which is located in the rear part of the cover, is formed, like the first attachment point, by a projection of the cover, which engages through an opening in a form-fitting manner.
  • the second fastening point in the rear lid part is preferably made smaller than the first fastening point and facilitates the overall tear-off of the crimp cap from the bottle neck.
  • the closure can be removed from the medication bottle particularly easily if the crimp cap is provided with second weakening lines which are circumferentially adjacent to the second fastening point and extend essentially radially outwards starting from the weakening line.
  • the second weakening lines extend from the weakening line which delimits the pull-out section over the bottom of the crimp cap to in the area of the ring collar that overlaps the bottle neck of the medication bottle.
  • the second weakening lines can extend in the axial direction along the ring collar up to its boundary. Tearing off the entire crimp cap is then associated with a particularly low expenditure of force.
  • only one of the second weakening lines is guided into the edge region of the ring collar, the second of the second weakening lines ending approximately in the middle of the axial extent of the ring collar.
  • Unintentional tearing off of the crimp cap is largely ruled out and the cover and the tear-off section remain connected to the latter in the region of the second weakening line, which does not completely cut through the ring collar.
  • Handling is simplified in that the number of parts removed from the bottle neck is then reduced.
  • the crimp cap can be provided on the side opposite the second fastening point with a third line of weakness, which extends radially outward from the line of weakness.
  • the third line of weakness is preferably arranged such that it is assigned to the first fastening point on the side facing away from the second fastening point.
  • the third weakening line causes the crimp cap to be simply opened when the pull-out section and the segment-like cutout are separated from the ring collar, which is delimited by the second weakening lines.
  • the annular collar extending in the axial direction then forms a film hinge by means of which the two partial regions of the crimp cap are connected to one another.
  • the second and third weakening lines can be extended at least to the outer circumference of the crimp cap.
  • the cover overlaps the crimp cap with an annular collar.
  • the ring collar of the cover can be designed as an opening tab with a profile.
  • FIG. 1 shows a sectional view of a medication bottle closed by the closure according to the invention.
  • FIG. 2 shows the first opening section of the closure cap according to FIG. 1.
  • FIG. 3 shows the second opening section for completely removing the crimp cap.
  • FIG. 4 shows the view from FIG. 1 in a top view.
  • FIG. 5 shows a top view of an exemplary embodiment of a crimp cap, as used in the previous examples.
  • FIG. 6 shows the crimp cap from FIG. 5 in a side view from the right.
  • FIGS. 1 to 4 A closure 1 for a medication bottle 2 is shown in FIGS. 1 to 4.
  • the closure 1 comprises a sealing element 4 made of polymeric material, which closes the mouth 3 of the medication bottle 2 aseptically.
  • the sealing element 4 is disc-shaped. Different configurations are also possible, for example a plug-shaped extension in the direction of the mouth 3 of the medication bottle 2 in order to center the sealing element 4.
  • the sealing element 4 is pressed against the mouth 3 of the bottle neck by a metallic crimp cap 5, which in this embodiment consists of aluminum, with a sealing, axial pretension.
  • the crimp cap 5 is provided with a central tear-out section 8 which is delimited by a weakening line 7.
  • the tear-out section 8 has an opening 15 which is positively engaged behind by the cover 11 with a projection 17.
  • the opening 15 gripped by the projection 17 forms the first fastening point 9.
  • the cover 11 is designed as a grip element 10, the cover 11 completely covering the crimp cap 5.
  • the bottom 6 and the lid 11 are connected by a second fastening point 12, which also is formed by an opening 16 and a projection 18, wherein the projection 18 positively engages through the opening 16.
  • a hinge-like hinge 13 which is formed on the side facing the medication bottle 2 by a recess in the lid 11.
  • the joint 13 extends transversely to an imaginary connecting line 14, which connects the first and the second fastening points 9, 12 to one another.
  • the lid 11 consists of a front part 20, which covers the tear-out section 8, and a rear part 19.
  • the surface of the lid 11 facing away from the medication bottle 2 is designed such that the front 20 and the rear part 19 of the lid 11 have push-button elements 21 , 22 are provided, which can be brought into engagement with one another after the front part 20 has been lifted off and the pull-out section 8 removed by a pivoting movement about the joint 13.
  • the cover 11 overlaps the crimp cap 5 with an annular collar 25 which is designed as an opening tab.
  • the pull-out section 8 has been removed from the bottom 6 and, together with the front part 20 of the cover 11, is pivoted about the joint 13 and engages with the rear part 19 of the cover 11.
  • the sealing element 4 is pressed by the crimp cap 5 in a sealing manner onto the mouth 3 of the medication bottle 2.
  • the content of the medication bottle 2 can be removed by means of a syringe which is pierced by the sealing element 4.
  • the pull-out part 8 can be latched in again and temporarily lock the medication bottle 2 again by clawing in the area of the weakening line 7.
  • FIG. 4 shows the top view of the illustration from FIG. 1.
  • the annular collar 25 of the cover 11, which overlaps the crimp cap 5, is profiled in a partial area of its circumference in order to improve handling.
  • Thickenings 26 are arranged in the peripheral edge region of the cover 11, which prevent the sealing element from being exposed to any contaminants that are located on the surface of the cover when the closure 1 is opened.
  • the front and the rear part 20, 19 of the cover 11, which are connected to one another by the joint 13, have snap elements 21, 22 which are adapted to the circumference of the cover.
  • the crimp cap 5 is shown as a single part. In the area of the first fastening point 9, it is provided with an opening 15, the opening 15 in this Embodiment of the line of weakness 7 is completely enclosed. In the area of the second fastening point 12, a further opening 16 is provided, which is surrounded by second lines of weakness 23. These extend essentially radially outwards in the direction of the flange edge. A third weakening line 24 is arranged on the side of the crimp cap 5 opposite the second weakening lines 23 and extends radially from the weakening line 7 into the edge region of the base 6.
  • FIG. 6 shows the crimp cap 5 from FIG. 5 in a side view from the right. It can be seen that the second weakening lines 23 continue into the region of the flange section 27 and run in the axial direction in this region. One of the lines of weakness 23.1 extends only approximately to the middle of the flange section 27, while the other line of weakness 23.2 completely covers it.
  • the pull-out section 8 is removed and the sealing element 4 is exposed for removing the contents of the medication bottle 2. If the closure is to be completely removed from the medication bottle, the front part 20 of the lid 11 is moved further in the opening direction and takes over the part of the base 6 which is delimited by the second lines of weakness 23 via the joint 13 and the second fastening point 12.
  • the flange edge 27 of the crimp cap 5 can be removed from the bottle neck in such a way that the crimp cap 5 is pulled apart in the region of its severing, so that the third weakening line 24, starting from the Line of weakness 7 is separated in the radial direction with little effort.
  • the flange edge 27 of the crimp cap 5 in the region of the third weakening line 24 serves as a film hinge-like joint when it is bent open. The closure 1 can now be easily removed from the medication bottle 2.
