Definitions

  • the invention relates to a container for the storage and individual dispensing of coated tablets held in ring-shaped carriers according to the preamble of patent claim 1.
  • a container for storing and dispensing solid dosage forms sealed in blisters is known from the generic DE 39 22 763 forming the preamble.
  • the blisters which are also circular, are placed on the annular lower part and pressed against the lower part with part of the upper part designed as a lid.
  • the upper and lower part of the container are held with a core protruding from the base of the lower part, onto which a sleeve integrated in the upper part can be attached. Additional guidance is provided by the design of the outer surface of the top and Lower part reached.
  • the parting line between the upper and lower part is located in the middle of the outer surface of the container.
  • Upper and lower parts are held in the desired position relative to one another in that the upper part of the core attached to the lower part forms a snap connection with the sleeve through bulges and the outer edge of the upper and lower part is shaped such that mutual guidance is provided.
  • a display for the corresponding day of the week is available on the container for regular cyclical intake.
  • a ring-shaped date mark is painted over and it appears in a window in the top part each the name of a day of the week. If this symbol is clearly recognizable, the ejector is located directly above an ejection opening that is made in the bottom of the lower part and the pharmaceutical form (tablets, coated tablets, capsules) that is positioned in the blister is pressed out of the blister pack through the ejection opening.
  • tablettes, coated tablets, capsules tablettes
  • the user only has the already mentioned window with the weekday display available. If the position of the pusher differs only insignificantly compared to the medicinal product, greater forces may be required and, in special cases, it may even happen that capsule-shaped or capsule-containing medicinal products are damaged with the pusher by the tilting and in extreme cases become unusable as a result.
  • the medicinal products must be arranged on the blister at a certain minimum distance in order to prevent that only one ration can be removed from the container at a time.
  • the container which essentially consists of a lower and an upper part and with which a carrier holding dragees or other suitable pharmaceutical forms is held in a defined position, makes it easy to replace an empty carrier with a full carrier.
  • both parts are held securely against one another and can be easily rotated relative to one another.
  • the resilient tongue moves into the following detent mark and the dragee ejector is positioned exactly over the next dragee and the corresponding dispensing opening, so that neither an increased effort when pushing out is required nor damage caused by improper use on the medicines.
  • the waveform of the latching marks is not designed in the form of a harmonic oscillation, but rather the rising and falling sides of the latching mark are designed with different rises. If the increase in the desired direction of rotation of the upper part is significantly less than in the opposite direction, twisting in the reverse direction is excluded.
  • the locking marks can be formed radially in the outer direction as well as an integral part of the base of the lower part. In both cases, however, it is desirable that no undulating components of the lower part protrude beyond the upper part designed as a lid, and that injuries are prevented during turning.
  • markings such as e.g. the corresponding day of the week to be placed on the lower part exactly according to the position of a dispensing opening.
  • the dragee ejector which is an integral part of the upper part, can be designed as an indicator and, for example, point its tip in the direction of the weekday marking. These markings can also be applied to the area of the lower part not covered by the upper part. This offers e.g. the advantage that such markings can be exchanged if a different intake cycle for corresponding medicinal products is required.
  • a self-adhesive film provided with the appropriate marking can be glued to the corresponding area of the lower part.
  • blisters are used as carriers for receiving dragees, in which the dragees are held between layers of different materials.
  • plastics, aluminum foils or paper have been used.
  • These round or square, flat supports have disadvantages in terms of disposal if they are composed of several components and these have to be disposed of separately.
  • a certain proportion of carrier material is required, which only serves to keep the individual medicines (dragees) at a certain distance from one another and to securely position and fix the carrier in the container.
  • the container according to the invention is provided with annular holding webs, between which the dispensing openings are arranged, chain-like ones can be used Coated tablets are used. These coated tablets hold the individual coated tablets in a common tube that protects them from damage and moisture from the outside and keeps them at a certain distance from each other. Due to a certain degree of elasticity, this tube can be inserted between the ring-shaped holding webs and the individual dragées are held in an exact position by the fact that the holding webs have openings at the dispensing openings which prevent the dragées from slipping outside the area of the dispensing openings.
  • the use of these hoses as a carrier element reduces the use of material and only one material component is used.
  • FIG. 1 The embodiment of a container according to the invention shown in FIG. 1, which can be seen in plan view, essentially consists of two parts which can be plugged together, a lower part 1 and an upper part 2. Both parts can be rotated relative to one another in accordance with the arrows shown.
  • On the lower part 1 are the existing on the carrier 12 Dragees or other drug forms incorporated in the number of matching wavy locking marks 4.
  • a lock against undesired rotation of these two parts is provided with a resilient tongue, which cannot be seen in this illustration and is attached to the upper part 2 and engages in a detent mark 4.
  • this resilient tongue 3 slides along the slideway of the detent marks 4 into the detent mark adjacent in the direction of rotation and is held again in this. That further turning in only one direction of rotation is possible because the waveform of the locking marks is provided with different rises. The rise of the waves in the direction of rotation is much smaller than in the opposite direction.
  • the dragee ejector 11 integrated in the upper part is brought into a position corresponding to the marking applied on the outer edge 8 of the lower part 1.
  • This dragee ejector 11 thus points precisely to the start mark marked with a dot on the carrier 12.
  • This start mark is located on a toothing of the carrier 12 which, in the case of a medicament to be administered daily, is inserted into the stop mark of the corresponding day of the week on which the intake should start, is insertable.
  • the lid-shaped upper part 2 is slit twice, and the area between the slits forms the dragee ejector 11, which in this form does not protrude beyond the outer dimensions of the container.
  • the material used for the upper part 2 must be one be elastic to a certain extent, so that pressing the dragee ejector 11 in the direction of the lower part 2 is possible.
  • both parts are provided with different outside diameters, so that there is a corresponding space on the area 8 of the lower part 1 for applying the corresponding markings.
  • the thickness of the lower part 1 is significantly less than that of the upper part 2, so that the ergonomic conditions for opening the container are favorable.
  • one or more interventions 16 can be present on the outer lateral surface of the upper part 2 (FIG. 3). Appropriate engravings are provided on both outer lateral surfaces for problem-free twisting of the lower and upper part 1, 2.
  • the sectional side view (Fig. 4) shows how the upper part 2 is held on the lower part 1.
  • an annular hub 6 projects over the base of the lower part 1 around its central axis.
  • the locking lug 5 has a larger outer diameter than the remaining part of the hub 6.
  • the upper part 2 holds with its outer end faces of the lateral surfaces the support 12 resting on the base of the lower part 1.
  • the support 12 has in its inner region a circular opening which is at least so large that the support can be easily inserted into the lower part the locking lugs 5 can be placed.
  • a dragee is pressed out by pressing the dragee ejector 11 in the direction of a dragee held in the carrier 12.
  • the coated tablet is pressed through the film of the carrier 12 lying on the base of the lower part 1 and passes out of the container through the corresponding dispensing opening 10.
  • the dragee ejector 11 has an ejector nose 17 which is directed into the interior of the container and which is moved towards the dragee when the dragee ejector 11 is pressed in.
  • no blisters are used as the carrier 12, instead chain-like carriers are used, in which the coated tablets are accommodated in tubes.
  • These bendable hoses are inserted into the lower part 1 and held in a defined position in this by annular holding webs 9.
  • the holding webs 9 have recesses in the area of the dispensing openings 10, so that one coated tablet is held exactly above one dispensing opening.
  • the dragee is dispensed in the same way as already described, simply by depressing the dragee ejector 11 after the upper part 2 has been turned further into the next removal position.
  • the upper part 2 is made with a transparent material, it is easy to check whether the corresponding dragee has been removed or not and to check the degree of filling.
  • the upper part 2 When the carrier 12 is empty, the upper part 2 is simply pulled off the lower part 1.
  • the surfaces of the latching nose 5 and the latching tongue 7 to be oriented obliquely towards one another slide apart in the radial direction of the container.
  • the latching tongue 7 snaps over the latching lug 5 and the upper part 2 can be removed.
  • the upper part 2 After replacing the empty with a filled carrier 12, the upper part 2 is put back on the lower part 1, and the filled container is available again.
