Definitions

  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • both thermal lacquers have to meet the physical and possibly chemical requirements (e.g. product compatibility) specified by the package contents.
  • the object of the invention is to make the reliable breaking of the connecting web more economical using simple technical means.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • FIG. 2 A second exemplary embodiment is shown in FIG. 2.
  • the package is equipped with a cup 2.1, which contains a liquid medium.
  • a cup 2.1 which contains a liquid medium.
  • 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.
  • FIG. 3 shows a variant of the second exemplary embodiment according to FIG. 2.
  • a rod with an absorbent head 3.9 is placed in the bowl 3.2.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • the deep-drawn part 7.3 is provided with a predetermined breaking point 7.13.
  • the peelable seal 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.
  • the medium is then applied by spreading this released section e.g. onto the skin.
