Abstract
Description
Insbesondere in den Bereichen Pharmazie und Kosmetik - aber auch darüber hinaus - liegen Anwendungsfälle vor, bei denen zwei oder mehrere Stoffe, in der Regel Produktkomponenten, erst unmittelbar vor der Anwendung zusammengebracht und gemischt bzw. ein saugfähiges Trägermaterial mit Tränkmedium versetzt werden soll.Particularly in the fields of pharmacy and cosmetics - but also beyond - there are applications in which two or more substances, usually product components, are only brought together and mixed immediately before use or an absorbent carrier material is to be mixed with a soaking medium.
Diese vor Ort Aktivierung ist zumeist erforderlich, da die zusammenzubringenden Komponenten im Misch- bzw. getränkten Zustand von der Chemie her nicht stabil sind oder in diesem Zustand nicht die erforderliche Haltbarkeitsdauer aufweisen.This on-site activation is usually necessary because the components to be brought together in the mixed or soaked state are not chemically stable or do not have the required shelf life in this state.
Es gibt eine Vielzahl von Vorschlägen, eine Mehrkammerverpackung zu schaffen, die zum einen die Komponenten bis unmitttelbar zum Anwendungszeitpunkt sauber getrennt hält und deren Zusammenbringung (Vereinigung) bzw. Mischen und die nachfolgende Anwendung von der Handhabung her klar und praktikabel ermöglichen sollen.There are a number of suggestions for creating a multi-chamber packaging which, on the one hand, keeps the components cleanly separated up to the point in time at which they are to be used, and which should enable them to be brought together (merged) or mixed and subsequently used in a clear and practical manner.
Die WO-A-84 02892 zeigt eine 2-Kammer-Verpackung, bei der eine erste Kammer ein erstes Medium und eine zweite Kammer ein zweites Medium enthält, mit einem zwei mittels eines Stegs getrennten Näpfen aufweisenden Tiefziehteil, die von einem gemeinsamen Rand umgeben sind, und mit einer Deckfolie, die mit dem Steg zumindest teilweise verbunden ist, derart, dass bei Anwendung von Druck auf eine der Kammern die Verbindung zwischen den beiden Kammern durch Ablösen der Deckfolie vom Steg hergestellt wird, wobei der Rand diesem Druck standhält.WO-A-84 02892 shows a two-chamber packaging, in which a first chamber contains a first medium and a second chamber contains a second medium, with a deep-drawn part which has two cups separated by a web and which are surrounded by a common edge , and with a cover film which is at least partially connected to the web, such that when pressure is applied to one of the chambers, the connection between the two chambers is established by detaching the cover film from the web, the edge withstanding this pressure.
Zur Verbindung von Tiefziehteil und Deckfolie dient hier Thermolack, der in zwei Qualitäten verwendet wird: Im Randbereich mit starker Klebewirkung, im Stegbereich mit schwacher Klebewirkung.Thermolacquer is used here to connect the deep-drawn part and the cover film, which is used in two qualities: in the edge area with strong adhesive effect, in the web area with weak adhesive effect.
Die Positionierung und der Auftrag der beiden Thermolacke erfordert erhebliche Präzision, beide Thermolacke müssen für sich die physikalischen und ggf. chemischen Anforderungen (z.B. Produktverträglichkeit) erfüllen, die vom Verpackungsinhalt vorgegeben werden.The positioning and application of the two thermal lacquers requires considerable precision, both thermal lacquers have to meet the physical and possibly chemical requirements (e.g. product compatibility) specified by the package contents.
Andere Lösungen sehen vor, eine "Sollbruchstelle" im Bereich des Verbindungssteges zwischen den beiden Kammern durch Einlage eines Peelstreifens zu erreichen (EP-A-0 378 183), oder auch in Form einer schaumstoffähnlichen Zwischenschicht (US-A-4 534 509).Other solutions provide to achieve a "predetermined breaking point" in the area of the connecting web between the two chambers by inserting a peel strip (EP-A-0 378 183), or also in the form of a foam-like intermediate layer (US-A-4 534 509).
Diese Lösungen erfordern zusätzliche Materialien, die ebenfalls inhaltsspezifische Anforderungen insbesondere in chemischer Hinsicht erfüllen müssen, und deren Aufbringung aufwendig ist.These solutions require additional materials, which also have to meet content-specific requirements, particularly in chemical terms, and the application of which is complex.
Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, die zuverlässige Aufbrechung des Verbindungssteges mit technisch einfachen Mitteln wirtschaftlicher zu gestalten.The object of the invention is to make the reliable breaking of the connecting web more economical using simple technical means.
Erfindungsgemäß wird diese Aufgabe mit den Merkmalen des Anspruches 1 gelöst.According to the invention, this object is achieved with the features of claim 1.
Beispielweise ermöglicht die Erfindung gemäß einer vorteilhaften Ausbildung eine erste Siegelfestigkeit über die Breite des Steges, die derart abgestuft ist, dass der Durchtrittsquerschnitt zwischen Steg und Deckfolie sich mit zunehmendem Druck vergrößert.For example, according to an advantageous embodiment, the invention enables a first seal strength across the width of the web, which is graded in such a way that the passage cross section between the web and the cover film increases with increasing pressure.

Die Erfindung basiert auf einer Tiefziehpackung, welche gemäß dem ersten Ausführungsbeispiel (Figur 1) mit mindestens zwei Näpfen 1.1 + 1.2 ausgestattet ist, in denen sich die zusammenzubringenden Komponenten befinden. Die Tiefziehpackung wird aus einem thermoplastischen Tiefziehteil 1.3 und einer aufgesiegelten Deckfolie 1.4 hergestellt, die mit einem Siegelmedium ausgestattet sind, welches unter gezielter Veränderung der Siegelparameter Temperatur/Druck/Siegelzeit eine genau definierte Siegelfestigkeit ermöglicht. So wird im Bereich eines Steges 1.5 zwischen den Näpfen 1.1 und 1.2 eine peelbare Versiegelung und um die Näpfe 1.1 und 1.2 herum - bzw. in Abhängigkeit von der gewählten Öffnungsvariante zur Entnahme des Produktes - zumindest aber teilweise eine Festversiegelung 1.6 vorgenommen. Diese Festversiegelung 1.6 kann sowohl flächig als auch - wie hier gezeigt - in Linienform erfolgen.The invention is based on a thermoformed pack which, according to the first exemplary embodiment (FIG. 1), is equipped with at least two cups 1.1 + 1.2 in which the components to be brought together are located. The thermoformed pack is made from a thermoplastic thermoformed part 1.3 and a sealed cover film 1.4, which are equipped with a sealing medium, which enables a precisely defined sealing strength by changing the sealing parameters temperature / pressure / sealing time. In the area of a web 1.5, peelable sealing is carried out between the bowls 1.1 and 1.2 and around the bowls 1.1 and 1.2 - or depending on the selected opening variant for removing the product - at least partially a tight seal 1.6. This permanent sealing 1.6 can be done both flat and - as shown here - in line form.
Die Aktivierung erfolgt bei diesem ersten Ausführungsbeispiel durch manuellen Druck beispielsweise auf den Napf 1.2. Dadurch löst sich die definierte Peelsiegelung im Bereich des Steges 1.5 und die Komponenten in Napf 1.1 und 1.2 laufen ineinander. Durch wechselseitigen Druck auf die Näpfe 1.1 und 1.2 kann eine Mischwirkung erzielt werden.In this first exemplary embodiment, activation takes place by manual pressure, for example on the bowl 1.2. This removes the defined peel seal in the area of web 1.5 and the components in bowl 1.1 and 1.2 run into one another. By mutual pressure on the bowls 1.1 and 1.2, a mixing effect can be achieved.
Zur Entnahme des aktivierten Produkts wird eine Sollbruchstelle 1.7 geöffnet (abschneiden oder knicken) und das Endprodukt kann durch den dem Napf 1.1 angeschlossenen Kanal 1.8 entrommen werden. Die Ausführung gemäß Fig. 1 eignet sich zur Anwendung bei flüssigen oder pastösen Komponenten, oder wenn es darum geht, Pulver bzw. Granulat oder lösliche Festkörper - z.B. eine Tablette - in einem pastösen bzw. flüssigen Medium aufzulösen.To remove the activated product, a predetermined breaking point 1.7 is opened (cut or kinked) and the end product can be removed through the channel 1.8 connected to the bowl 1.1. 1 is suitable for use with liquid or pasty components, or when it comes to dissolving powder or granules or soluble solids - such as a tablet - in a pasty or liquid medium.
Die entsprechenden Komponenten werden - wie hier gezeigt - bis zur Aktivierung vor Ort in den durch peelbare Siegelung im Bereich des Steges 1.5 voneinander getrennten Näpfen - hier 1.1 und 1.2 - aufbewahrt.The relevant components - as shown here - are kept in the wells separated by peelable seals in the area of the web 1.5 - here 1.1 and 1.2 - until they are activated on site.
Ein zweites Ausführungsbeispiel zeigt Fig. 2. Hier ist die Grundgestaltung analog Fig. 1. Die Packung ist mit einem Napf 2.1 ausgestattet, welcher ein flüssiges Medium enthält. Im Napf 2.2 befindet sich eine saugfähige Einlage 2.9 (flächiger Zuschnitt). Die Näpfe 2.1 und 2.2 sind durch einen peelfähig mit der Deckfolie 2.4 gesiegelten Bereich des Steges 2.5 voneinander getrennt. Um den Napf 2.1 herum bis etwa 1/3 des Napfes 2.2 ist die Festversiegelung 2.6 geführt.A second exemplary embodiment is shown in FIG. 2. Here, the basic design is analogous to FIG. 1. The package is equipped with a cup 2.1, which contains a liquid medium. In the bowl 2.2 there is an absorbent insert 2.9 (flat cut). The bowls 2.1 and 2.2 are separated from one another by an area of the web 2.5 which is sealed with a peelable covering foil 2.4. The fixed seal 2.6 is guided around the bowl 2.1 up to about 1/3 of the bowl 2.2.
Durch Druck auf den Napf 2.1 öffnet sich die Peelsiegelung zwischen Deckfolie 2.4 und Steg 2.5 zwischen Napf 2.1 und 2.2 und das Tränkmedium aus Napf 2.1 läuft in Napf 2.2 und benetzt die Einlage 2.9. Durch Aufziehen einer freien Peellasche 2.10 kann die mit dem Tiefziehteil 2.3 randseitig peelfähig versiegelte Deckfolie 2.4 bis zu Beginn der Festversiegelung 2.6 (welche sowohl flächig als auch linienförmig sein kann - vgl. Fig. 1 -) aufgezogen und die getränkte Einlage 2.9 entnommen werden.Pressing the bowl 2.1 opens the peel seal between cover foil 2.4 and web 2.5 between bowl 2.1 and 2.2 and the soaking medium from bowl 2.1 runs in bowl 2.2 and wets the insert 2.9. By pulling on a free peel tab 2.10, the cover film 2.4, which is peelable at the edge with the deep-drawn part 2.3, can be pulled open until the beginning of the fixed sealing 2.6 (which can be both flat and linear - see FIG. 1) and the impregnated insert 2.9 can be removed.
Figur 3 zeigt eine Variante des zweiten Ausführungsbeispiels gemäß Fig. 2. Hier ist als zu tränkendes Applikationsteil ein Stäbchen mit saugfähigem Kopf 3.9 in Napf 3.2 eingelegt.FIG. 3 shows a variant of the second exemplary embodiment according to FIG. 2. Here, as the application part to be impregnated, a rod with an absorbent head 3.9 is placed in the bowl 3.2.
Figur 4 zeigt ein drittes Ausführungsbeispiel mit einer Anwendung der vor Ort aktivierbaren Mehrkammerpackung zur Tränkung von saugfähigen, komprimierten Einlagen, die bei Aufnahme eines Tränkmediums in die Ursprungsform - d.h. vor dem Komprimieren - zurückkehren.Figure 4 shows a third embodiment with an application of the multi-chamber pack which can be activated on site for the impregnation of absorbent, compressed inserts which, when an impregnation medium is taken up into the original form - i.e. before compressing - return.
Im Napf 4.1 befindet sich das Tränkmedium, im Napf 4.2 das zur Applikation vorgesehene, saugfähige Komprimat 4.9. Der Napf 4.2 ist in der Größe so gewählt, daß sich das Komprimat 4.9 bei der Aufnahme des Tränkmediums voll ausdehnen kann. Durch Druck auf Napf 4.1 öffnet sich die definierte Peelsiegelung im Bereich des Steges 4.5 zwischen Napf 4.1 und Napf 4.2. Das Tränkmedium tritt in Napf 4.2 ein und wird vom Komprimat 4.9 aufgesaugt, welches sich entsprechend ausdehnt.The soaking medium is in the bowl 4.1, the absorbent compressed 4.9 intended for application is in the bowl 4.2. The size of the bowl 4.2 is such that the compressed 4.9 can expand fully when the impregnating medium is taken up. Pressing bowl 4.1 opens the defined peel seal in the area of web 4.5 between bowl 4.1 and bowl 4.2. The impregnation medium enters the bowl 4.2 and is sucked up by the compressed 4.9, which expands accordingly.
Durch Aufziehen der Peellasche 4.10 bis zur flächig oder linienförmig ausgeführten Festversiegelung 4.6, welche nur bis an den Napf 4.2 herangeführt ist, kann das jetzt getränkte und entsprechend ausgedehnte Komprimat 4.9 entnommen werden.By pulling the peel tab 4.10 up to the flat or line-shaped solid seal 4.6, which is only brought up to the bowl 4.2, the now soaked and correspondingly expanded compressed 4.9 can be removed.
Figur 5 zeigt ein viertes Ausführungsbeispiel der vor Ort aktivierbaren Mehrkammerpackung, bei welcher sich in Napf 5.1 das Tränkmedium befindet. Napf 5.2 nimmt ein Komprimat 5.9 als Applikator auf, das sich bei Aufnahme des Tränkmediums entsprechend ausdehnt. Zwischen den Näpfen 5.1 und 5.2 sind Tiefzieh- und Deckfolie definiert peelfähig im Bereich des Stegs 5.5 gesiegelt. Die Deckfolie 5.4 weist oberhalb Napf 5.2 ein Loch 5.11 auf, das geringfügig kleiner als das Komprimat 5.9 ist. Das Loch 5.11 wird mittels eines Haftetikettes oder einer peelfähig aufgesiegelten Abdeckfolie 5.12 verschlossen.FIG. 5 shows a fourth exemplary embodiment of the multi-chamber pack which can be activated on site and in which the impregnation medium is located in cup 5.1. Bowl 5.2 accommodates a compressed 5.9 as an applicator, which expands accordingly when the impregnating medium is absorbed. Thermoformed and cover foils are sealed in a defined peelable manner in the area of the web 5.5 between the wells 5.1 and 5.2. The cover film 5.4 has a hole 5.11 above the bowl 5.2, which is slightly smaller than the compressed 5.9. Hole 5.11 is closed by means of an adhesive label or a peelable sealing film 5.12.
Zur Aktivierung wird manuell Druck auf den Napf 5.1 ausgeübt, wodurch das Tränkmedium in Kammer 5.2 tritt. Das Komprimat 5.9 nimmt das Tränkmedium auf und hat das Bestreben, sich in die Ursprungsgröße auszudehnen. Durch Abziehen der Abdeckfolie 5.12 wird das Loch 5.11 über dem Komprimat 5.9 freigegeben. Das Komprimat 5.9 kann sich nun völlig ausdehnen und quillt pilzförmig aus dem Loch 5.11 heraus, bleibt aber aufgrund der Maßdifferenz Komprimat/Loch arretiert. Das Tränkmedium kann durch Aufstreifen der Komprimatoberfläche z.B. auf die Haut appliziert werden.For activation, pressure is manually applied to the bowl 5.1, as a result of which the impregnating medium enters chamber 5.2. Compressed 5.9 absorbs the impregnation medium and strives to expand to its original size. By pulling off the cover film 5.12, the hole 5.11 above the compressed 5.9 is released. The compressed 5.9 can now expand completely and bulges out of the hole 5.11 like a mushroom, but remains locked due to the difference in size of the compressed / hole. The impregnation medium can be e.g. to be applied to the skin.
Figur 6 zeigt eine erste Variante des vierten Ausführungsbeispiels gemäß Figur 5; die Durchbrechung 6.11 befindet sich hier im Tiefziehteil 6.3 am Boden des Napfes 6.2. Der Verschluß wird ebenfalls mittels einer Abdeckfolie 6.12 bewirkt.FIG. 6 shows a first variant of the fourth exemplary embodiment according to FIG. 5; the opening 6.11 is here in the deep-drawn part 6.3 at the bottom of the bowl 6.2. The closure is also effected by means of a cover film 6.12.
Figur 7 zeigt eine zweite Variante des vierten Ausführungsbeispiels zur Anwendung der vor Ort aktivierbaren Tiefziehpackung, wobei im Napf 7.1 das flüssige Tränkmedium 7.1 untergebracht ist. In Napf 7.2 wird ein Komprimat 7.9 eingelegt, welches - wie bereits bei den anderen Ausführungsbeispielen beschrieben - bei Flüssigkeitsaufnahme einen deutlichen Volumenzuwachs erfährt.FIG. 7 shows a second variant of the fourth exemplary embodiment for the use of the thermoformed pack which can be activated on site, the liquid impregnation medium 7.1 being accommodated in the bowl 7.1. In the bowl 7.2, a compressed 7.9 is inserted, which - as already described in the other exemplary embodiments - experiences a significant increase in volume when liquid is taken up.
Zwischen Napf 7.1 und 7.2 befindet sich die definiert peelfähige Siegelung im Bereich des Steges 7.5. Flächig oder als Siegellinie um die Kammern 7.1 und 7.2 läuft die Festversiegelung 2.6. Im Tiefziehteil 7.3 ist ein nach innen zeigender Dorn 7.12 angeformt, welcher zur Arretierung des Komprimats 7.9 dient. Der Napf 7.2 ist um das Maß länger ausgelegt, welches als Zuwachs beim Komprimat 7.9 zu erwarten ist. Im Bereich außerhalb des Komprimats 7.9 ist das Tiefziehteil 7.3 mit einer Sollbruchstelle 7.13 versehen.Between bowl 7.1 and 7.2 there is the defined peelable seal in the area of web 7.5. Fixed sealing 2.6 runs flat or as a sealing line around chambers 7.1 and 7.2. In the deep-drawn part 7.3, an inwardly pointing mandrel 7.12 is formed, which serves to lock the compressed material 7.9. The bowl 7.2 is designed longer by the amount which is to be expected as an increase in compressed 7.9. In the area outside the compressed part 7.9, the deep-drawn part 7.3 is provided with a predetermined breaking point 7.13.
Bei Aktivierung durch Druck auf den Napf 7.1 öffnet die peelfähige Siegelung im Bereich des Steges 7.5, das Tränkmedium tritt in den Napf 7.2 ein und wird vom Komprimat 7.9 aufgesogen. Das Komprimat 7.9 dehnt sich aus und füllt den bislang freien stirnseitigen Raum des Napfes 7.2.When activated by pressure on the bowl 7.1, the peelable seal opens in the area of the web 7.5, the impregnation medium enters the bowl 7.2 and is absorbed by the compressed 7.9. The compressed 7.9 expands and fills the previously free front space of the bowl 7.2.
Durch Brechen an der Sollbruchstelle 7.13 wird das Abschnittsteil 7.14 weggeklappt und ein äußerer Abschnitt des Komprimats 7.9 freigelegt.By breaking at the predetermined breaking point 7.13, the section part 7.14 is folded away and an outer section of the compressed material 7.9 is exposed.
Der Auftrag des Mediums erfolgt dann durch Aufstreichen dieses freigegebenen Abschnitts z.B. auf die Haut.The medium is then applied by spreading this released section e.g. onto the skin.
Das Komprimat kann nicht unbeabsichtigt aus der jetzt offenen Kammer 7.2 herausgenommen werden, da der Dorn 7.12 die Arretierung vornimmt. Soll eine Entnahme ermöglicht werden, entfällt der Dorn.The compressed product cannot be unintentionally removed from the now open chamber 7.2, since the mandrel 7.12 makes the locking. If removal is to be made possible, the mandrel is omitted.

- Multiple-chamber container according to claim 1, characterised in that the first sealing strength is graded over the width of the web in such a manner that the mean cross-section between web and top sheet increases as the pressure increases.
- Multiple-chamber container according to claim 1, characterised in that the bowl, in which the two media have come into contact (contact bowl), includes an opening region.
- Multiple-chamber container according to claim 3, characterised in that the bowl (1.1) includes a predetermined breaking point (1.7), which exposes a duct (1.8) as the opening region.
- Multiple-chamber container according to claim 3, characterised in that the seal strength in the region remote from the web (2.5) is selected in such a manner that the top sheet (2.4) is peelable and exposes the contact bowl (2.2; 3.2; 4.2) at least partially.
- Multiple-chamber container according to claim 3, characterised in that the contact bowl includes an opening, which is closed by means of a removable cover sheet (5.12, 6.12).
- Multiple-chamber container according to claim 6, characterised in that the opening is a break-through (6.11) in the contact bowl (6.2).
- Multiple-chamber container according to claim 6, characterised in that the opening is a hole (5.11) in the top sheet (5.4).
- Multiple-chamber container according to claim 1, characterised in that the first chamber contains a liquid and the second chamber contains an absorbent insert (.9).
- Multiple-chamber container according to claim 7 or 8 or 9, characterised in that the opening is dimensioned in such a manner that the insert is not removable.
- Multiple-chamber container according to claim 6 and 9, characterised
in that the insert is a compressed compound (5.9, 6.9) and, after the liquid has been added, partially swells out of the opening. - Multiple-chamber container according to claim 10, characterised in that the contact bowl (7.2) includes a mandrel (7.12), which secures the insert (7.9) in its chamber.
