Definitions

• the invention relates to packaging for lumpy goods, consisting of a deep-drawn part for receiving the goods and a cover film.
• thermoformed blister pack for tablets is widespread on the market, in which the thermoformed part has a number of individual cups for receiving the tablets according to the number of tablets.
• the push-through pack is provided with a metal foil or also with a metal-aluminum composite foil and is dimensioned with regard to its thickness so that the tablet is pressed out from bottom to top by pressure on the thermoformed bowl.
• a packaging with a flap for removing the goods through a removal opening and with an adhesive film that extends over the The flap and at least part of the adjoining surface of the packaging extends in such a way that the removal opening can be closed again with the flap, is known from DE-U-88 10 948.
• the packaging shown there consists of a deep-drawn part and a sealed cover film, the removal opening mentioned being provided in the deep-drawn part. Since several of the lumpy goods are located in the deep-drawn part in an unordered arrangement, for example candies or tablets, controlled removal of the goods from such packaging is not possible. With the technology used, these packaging also consist of different materials, in particular a plastic deep-drawn part and a mostly metallic cover film, and first require the separation of these materials before recycling is possible.
• DE-U-88 11 951.3 shows a blister pack for small objects, e.g. Tablets in which the cover film runs in strips over the individual cups and also consists of a metal film, which does not solve the disposal problem.
• adhesive-free areas are provided in this area and the adhesive for connecting the deep-drawn part and the cover film should be reusable.
• This solution does not significantly reduce the material expenditure, but increases the production expenditure, since the strips of the cover film with their adhesive-free locations have to be produced precisely and glued onto the deep-drawn part in the correct position.
• This packaging therefore has no significant advantage over the packaging mentioned in the introduction and has not yet proven itself.
• Another type of packaging is characterized, for example, by DD-A-52534, in which a large number of tablets are accommodated in a spiral row in a rather complex dispenser, from which they can be removed one by one.
• the dispenser is designed here as an upper part and lower part, which are obviously injection molded or cast and are therefore very expensive in terms of material.
• this object is achieved in that at least one flap is provided in the cover film, that the deep-drawn part is at least opposite the flap in the form of a groove, and that one flap is arranged above an associated deep-drawn groove that the goods from the deep-drawn part are individually removable.
• the basic idea of the invention compared to the known packaging is the arrangement of the flap in the cover film; This measure ensures simple opening and easy reclosing of the package, and the deep-drawn part, cover film and adhesive film can all be produced from plastic materials and can therefore be recycled as a single-material package.
• the cover film of the packaging is not destroyed (as in the known blister pack for tablets) when the contents of the pack are used up, the cover film can now also serve as an information carrier (notes on use, table of contents), which means that additional precautions may be dispensed with or the package insert may be simplified can be.
• the goods that is to say in particular the tablets, are received in rows in the channel-shaped deep-drawn part, so that a type of magazine is formed in which a certain number of tablets can be stored and successively removed via the defined discharge opening.
• the flap is expediently located above the end of a deep-drawing channel, which ensures a further simple embodiment of the invention, namely the formation of an opening flap which consists of an end section of the adhesive film on the one hand and a detachable edge section of the deep-drawn part.
• the magazine-like arrangement of the goods results in a very dense, compact packaging compared to the known solutions with separate deep-drawing bowls.
• the total use of materials can be significantly reduced, for example, a film saving in the range of 40% can be achieved and a reduction in outer and shipping packaging (folding boxes, etc.), which in turn leads to significant cost reductions, the material savings associated with this, and on the other hand, due to a reduction in storage and leads transport volumes.
• the disposal problem of both the packaging and the outer packaging is considerably alleviated, since the new packaging can practically also be carried out as a "single-component package".
• FIG. 1 shows a top view of the three components of the packaging according to the invention
• Fig. 5 is a schematic representation by another
• the packaging shown in FIG. 1 in its components initially consists of an elongated deep-drawn part 11, into which a straight deep-drawn channel 17 is inserted, in which the piece goods, here tablets, are accommodated in rows in a magazine-like manner.
• the cover film has an edge section 11a which can be detached from the deep-drawn part 11 by breaking open a break-off edge 16 (FIG. 1A). Since the breaking-off of the break-off edge 16 is irreversible, these features serve to form a "guarantee closure", i.e. once a package has been opened it is immediately recognizable as such, which is particularly important in the case of pharmaceutical products.
• the second component of the packaging is a cover sheet 12, the dimensions of which essentially correspond to the outer dimensions of the deep-drawn part 11, with the exception that the one end (in the drawing on the left) of the cover sheet 12 extends only to the breaking edge 16 of the deep-drawn part.
• a perforation line or punch line 13 is introduced in the cover film 12, which defines a flap 14.
• This perforation line 13 or the flap 14 is arranged in the cover film 12 so that when it is applied to the deep-drawn part (FIG. 2) it comes to lie above the left-hand tablet within the deep-drawn channel 17 and is so dimensioned that when the flap 14 is open only this one tablet can be easily removed from the deep-drawn part 11.
• the cover film 12 is sealed onto the deep-drawn part 11 in a known manner or can also be glued to it.
• An adhesive film 15 is provided as the third component of the new packaging (FIG. IC), which extends over the flap 14 in the cover film 12 and the detachable edge section 11a of the deep-drawn part 11, the left end section 15a of the adhesive film 15 and the detachable one Edge section 11a of the deep-drawn part 11 form an opening tab L.
• the opening tab L In the closed state of the packaging (FIG. 2), the opening tab L thus forms a more or less rigid component of the packaging and signals to the user that the packaging has not yet been opened. If a product to be packaged 10 is to be removed for the first time, the opening flap L is pulled upwards with the edge section 11a of the deep-drawn part 11 separated (FIG. 3), and the flap 14 becomes along the perforation line due to the adhesive effect of the adhesive film 15 on the cover film 12 13 pulled upwards and thus releases a removal opening corresponding to its size for the lumpy good 10. It goes without saying that the adhesive force of the adhesive film 15 must be so strong in relation to the perforations of the punching line 13 that the remaining material bridges between the flap 14 and cover film 12 can be broken open safely.
• the packaging can then be closed again by placing the adhesive film 15 with the flap 14 back on the cover film 12 and, if necessary, pressing it on.
• the package has already been opened once, since the edge section 11a of the deep-drawn part 11 is separated from it.
• a deep-drawing channel 17 is provided, but it is also easily possible (FIG. 5) to design a packaging in such a way that a plurality of deep-drawing drawing channels 17A ... 17C are arranged next to one another in a common packaging, such packaging being expediently provided by suitable punching lines P1, P2 in individual packaging according to FIGS. 1-4 can be disassembled.
