wobei der Napf 22 aus der Ebene des Abdeckteils 16 nach aussen hin abragt.
Im Bodenteil 14 der Umverpackung 10 ist eine in Draufsicht innerhalb des Öffnungsschlitzes
30 und vom Aufreissstreifen 32 überdeckte Entnahmeöffnung
38 vorgesehen.The
Zur Entnahme der Tablette 18 wird der Aufreissstreifen 32 an der Aufreisslasche
34 ergriffen und mittels einer in Pfeilrichtung A durchgeführten Öffnungsbewegung
vom Abdeckteil 16 getrennt, wodurch der Öffnungsschlitz 30 entsteht.
Die im gezeigten Beispiel im Bereich des Napfes 22 angeordnete Aufreisslasche
34 kann selbstverständlich auch auf der dem Napf 22 entfernteren
Seite des Aufreissstreifens vorgesehen sein, wobei in diesem Fall die Öffnungsbewegung
gegen den Napf 22 hin erfolgt. Der aus dem Abdeckteil 16
hervorstehende Napf 22 kann nun - beispielsweise durch eine Bewegung mit
dem Daumen - entlang des Öffnungsschlitzes in Pfeilrichtung B verschoben
werden, bis sich der Napf 22 über der Entnahmeöffnung 38 im Bodenteil 14 der
Umverpackung 10 befindet. Die Entnahmeöffnung 38 liegt in dieser Position -
einzig getrennt durch die Deckelfolie 24 - der Tablette 18 im Napf 22 frei gegenüber.
In dieser Offenstellung kann die Tablette 18 durch Fingerdruck auf
den Napf 22 in Pfeilrichtung C durch die Deckelfolie 24 hindurchgestossen und
durch die Entnahmeöffnung 38 ausgeworfen werden. Die Entnahmeöffnung 38
kann zusätzlich noch von einem durchdrückbaren Öffnungsverschluss abgedeckt
sein. Dieser zusätzliche Verschluss ist beispielsweise von einer Schwächungslinie,
z.B. einer Perforationslinie, begrenzt und wird gleichzeitig mit dem
Durchdrücken der Deckelfolie 24 herausgetrennt.To remove the
Die oben beschriebene Verschiebung des Napfes 22 innerhalb des Öffnungsschlitzes
30 erfolgt gegen die Rückstellkraft des Federstreifens 28, der sich
gemäss Fig. 4 zu einer elastisch gespannten Schlaufe 40 verformt, so dass der
Napf 22 nach dem Loslassen selbsttätig in die Ausgangsstellung zurückgeführt
wird. Im Bereich des Napfes 22 ragen beidseits des hier auch bei verschlossener
Umverpackung 10 offenen Öffnungsschlitzes 30 vom Abdeckteil 16 Vorsprünge
42 nach innen hin ab. Diese Vorsprünge 42 hemmen nach dem Wegziehen
des Aufreissstreifens 32 die freie Bewegung des Napfes 22 in Richtung
der Entnahmeöffnung 38, d.h. die Verschiebung des Napfes 22 in die Entnahmestellung
erfordert zunächst einen gewissen Kraftaufwand zur Verdrängung
der in den Öffnungsschlitz 32 einragenden Vorsprünge 42.The above described displacement of the
Der in Fig. 5 dargestellte, im wesentlichen streifenförmige Zuschnitt für die
Umverpackung 10 zeigt die geschwächte und daher leicht trennbare Verbindung
zwischen dem Aufreissstreifen 32 mit Aufreisslasche 34 als Perforationslinie
36 im Abdeckteil 16. Auf dem Bodenteil liegt bereits die Blisterverpackung
12 mit dem Federstreifen 28. Das Verschliessen der Umverpackung erfolgt
durch Umlegen des Abdeckteils 16 in Pfeilrichtung D um eine Falzlinie d, bis
der Abdeckteil 16 auf dem Bodenteil 14 bzw. auf der Blisterverpackung 12 aufliegt.
Mit diesem Schritt erfolgt auch ein zumindest teilweises Verkleben von
Randpartien 44 des Abdeckteils 16 mit Randpartien 46 des Bodenteils 14 zur
Bildung des als Führung für die Schulter 26 des Napfes 22 dienenden Zwischenraumes
17.5, substantially strip-shaped blank for the
Die Fig. 6 und 7 zeigen eine andere Möglichkeit zur Erzeugung einer Rückstellkraft
für den Napf 22 im Öffnungsschlitz 30. Der Federstreifen 28 ist hier so
mit abwechselnd von beiden Seiten angeordneten Einschnitten 48 versehen,
dass sich der Federstreifen 28 unter Ausbildung von eine Rückstellkraft erzeugenden
Federbändem 50 in Streifenrichtung strecken lässt. Bei dieser Variante
wird der Federstreifen 28 an dem dem Kopf 31 des Öffnungsschlitzes 30 naheliegenden
Ende der Umverpackung 10 festgelegt. Die Federstreifen 28 mit Einschnitten
48 können direkt aus dem Material des Bodenteils 20 und/oder der
Deckelfolie 24 der Blisterverpackung 12 gefertigt sein. Es ist jedoch auch möglich,
den Federstreifen 28 separat herzustellen und mit der Blisterverpackung
12 zu verbinden. Anstelle eines Federstreifens 28 kann selbstverständlich auch
ein anderes Federmaterial wie beispielsweise ein Gummiband vorgesehen
sein.6 and 7 show another possibility for generating a restoring force
for the
Eine in Fig. 8 dargestellte Umverpackung 60 für eine Blisterverpackung 52 - im
Beispiel eine Zweiportionenpackung für zwei Tabletten 18a, b - ist im wesentlichen
aus spiegelbildlich zueinander stehenden Umverpackungen 10 gemäss
Fig. 1 aufgebaut. Gleiche Teile sind deshalb auch mit gleichen Bezugszeichen
versehen, wobei die doppelte Ausgestaltung jeweils durch einen Zusatz a bzw.
b zum Ausdruck gebracht ist. Die Bodenteile 14a, b sind einstückig miteinander
verbunden und bilden mit den Abdeckteilen 16a, b jeweils eine Schlaufe. In der
verschlossenen Position liegen die zwei Teilumverpackungen 10a, b beidseits
einer Spiegelebene S. Die beiden Teilumverpackungen 10a, b können in gleicher
Weise geöffnet und die Tabletten 18a, b in gleicher Weise entnommen
werden wie bei der in den Fig. 1 bis 5 gezeigten Umverpackung 10.An
Fig. 9 zeigt eine streifenförmige Packung 70 mit sechs aneinandergereihten
Einzelpackungen gemäss Fig. 1. Diese sind durch linienförmig angeordnete
Perforationen 72 voneinander abtrennbar. Die einzelnen Umverpackungen 10
können jedoch auch geöffnet werden, ohne dass diese vom Verpackungsstreifen
70 abgetrennt werden müssen. Eine derartige Streifenanordnung eignet
sich auch für Umverpackungen 60 mit einer Zweiportionen-Blisterverpackung
62 gemäss Fig. 8. Fig. 9 shows a strip-shaped
Ein weiterer Vorteil der erfindungsgemässen Verpackung wird darin gesehen, dass die bedruckbare Fläche zum Anbringen von Informationen für den Konsumenten wesentlich vergrössert werden kann.Another advantage of the packaging according to the invention is seen in that the printable area for attaching information to the consumer can be increased significantly.
