Definitions

  • the invention relates to a container, in particular for medicinal and luxury items in the form of tablets, dragees, capsules, pearls or the like. , with a closure device and with an insert containing a desiccant which absorbs the moisture entering the interior of the container with the air.
  • the container can have the shape of a vial with a bottle neck or, for example, a tube shape and can consist of plastic, glass or, for example, also of sheet metal, as is sometimes the case with tablet tubes.
  • the present invention has for its object to provide a container, in particular for medicinal and luxury items, in which the contents of the container are gently protected against moisture and in which the tamper-evident protection of the contents of the container is ensured by a simple measure before the container is used for the first time .
  • the invention provides that the closure device, which is preferably a rotary closure, but which can also have the shape of an axially movable cap that extends over the edge of the container opening, and the desiccant insert have interacting coupling means with which the desiccant insert is in front of the first use of the container can be fastened to the closure device.
  • the closure device which is preferably a rotary closure, but which can also have the shape of an axially movable cap that extends over the edge of the container opening, and the desiccant insert have interacting coupling means with which the desiccant insert is in front of the first use of the container can be fastened to the closure device.
  • closure device and the desiccant insert in an initial state through a film or the like closing the container opening. are separated and that after removal of the film, the closure device is moved in the direction of the desiccant insert in the container until the coupling means engage and the desiccant insert is fastened to the closure device.
  • the closure device and the desiccant insert are therefore separated by the tamper-evident device. This is removed by the user before use, whereupon the closure device, in the case that it is a rotary closure, is preferably screwed up to a stop in the direction of the desiccant insert, until the coupling between the two parts takes place. If the closure device is a cap which overlaps the edge of the container opening, it is advanced axially in the direction of the desiccant insert until the coupling means engage, in which case the cap and insert can then form a stopper together.
  • the desiccant insert contains a substantially cylindrical desiccant chamber in which the preferably granular desiccant is accommodated, and that the desiccant chamber sits tightly in the container opening with an annular circumferential bead, a so-called olive.
  • the desiccant chamber is expediently made of plastic and tapered slightly at its lower end so that it can easily be inserted into the container opening, usually a bottle neck.
  • the desiccant insert can be securely coupled to the closure device, the desiccant insert must be positioned and held in the container such that the coupling agents reliably run into one another or engage in one another.
  • the desiccant insert or the desiccant chamber is provided with a holding device which is supported on or in the container opening, so that the desiccant insert is prevented from further entering the container.
  • an annular wall can be formed on the upper end wall of the desiccant chamber with an outwardly facing flange which can rest on a shoulder at the upper edge of the container opening. This ensures that the desiccant chamber is not pressed into the container by the closure device, as a result of which the desired connection to the closure device would not come about.
  • the locking device remains rotatable relative to the desiccant insert in the coupled state. This is essential if the closure device is a rotary closure and the desiccant chamber is firmly seated in the container in order to seal it tightly.
  • Such a rotatable connection can be accomplished, for example, in that spring arms with latching hooks protrude from the top of the drying agent chamber or the underside of the closure device, which are engaged behind by an annular projection of the other component during the coupling. In this way, a non-positive connection takes place in the axial direction, but the annular projection rotatably engages around or engages in the spring arms.
  • closure device is an axially displaceable cap which overlaps the wall of the container opening
  • means can be provided in order to allow it to be easily detachably latched into a position rearward with respect to the use of desiccant and an advanced coupling position.
  • an inner annular bead of the cap can enter two axially spaced annular depressions in the container wall.
  • the cap and the desiccant chamber can be connected to one another in a rotationally fixed manner.
  • Figure 1 shows a container according to the invention before first use.
  • Figure 2 shows the container in use.
  • Fig. 3 shows the container with the closure device removed
  • Fig. 4 is a plan view of the desiccant chamber of the container.
  • the container 1 has the shape of a vial with a container neck 2, in which an approximately cylindrical desiccant chamber 3 is seated, the peripheral wall of which has an annular circumferential bulge 4, which abuts the inner wall of the container neck 2.
  • the lower end section 5 of the desiccant chamber 3 tapers slightly in order to facilitate the introduction of the desiccant chamber 3 into the container neck 2.
  • a push-and-close closure 6 On the neck of the container sits a push-and-close closure 6, which is described in more detail in European patent application 94 110 152.9, to which reference is expressly made here.
  • This rotary pressure lock contains an inner screw cap 7, which is covered by an outer cap 8.
  • the screw cap 7 which is covered by an outer cap 8.
  • the outer cap 8 contains on its cylindrical outer wall a corrugation which continues into the outer ring area of the cover section.
  • the reefing consists of lamellar ribs, each with a flat, long side and a short side.
  • the outer cap 8 has a cover section 9 which is convex with respect to the screw cap 7, which is supported centrally on the cover section of the screw cap 7 and can be elastically deformed into an approximately planar orientation by applying axial pressure.
  • projections formed on the inside of the lid section of the outer cap 8 engage in the corrugation of the lid section of the screw cap 7, so that a torque can be transmitted in the opening direction of the closure.
  • spring arms 11 projecting in the axial direction are formed in an overall annular arrangement (see FIG. 4), which are provided on the outer sides with hook-shaped projections 12. These spring arms 11 are arranged concentrically around the center 13 of the upper end wall 10 of the desiccant chamber 3.
  • annular wall 14 Radially on the outside, in the same direction, there is an annular wall 14 with flanges 15 angled outward at right angles, each of which extends over a circumferential area of approximately 150 ° and is opposite one another.
  • the desiccant chamber 3 is supported with the flanges 15 on an annular shoulder 16 on the upper edge region of the container neck 2, which ensures that the desiccant chamber 3 cannot be pushed further into the container 1.
  • the desiccant chamber 3 is positioned in the exact position in the container neck 2 by the circumferential annular bead 4 and the flanges 15, ie not only cannot it move further into the container 1, but it is also secured against tilting movements in the container neck. This ensures the exact positioning of the spring arms 11.
  • the container neck 2 is sealed with a film 17, which of course also covers the flanges 15 of the drying agent chamber 3.
  • the rotary screw cap 6 is unscrewed from the container neck 2, as shown in FIG. 3, the desiccant chamber 3 also being removed from the container.
  • the container can also be provided with a simple screw cap instead of a child-proof pressure screw cap.
  • the lower conical section of the desiccant chamber 3 is formed by a separate cap 20 (see FIG. 1) which, with the interposition of a horizontal dividing wall 21 made of cardboard and indicated by dashed lines in the FIG the bottom of the rest of the chamber is snapped open.
  • the desiccant is in the upper chamber 22, while the lower part 23 of the assembled desiccant chamber serves as a spacer from the tablets etc. in the container and has a perforated bottom wall.

Abstract

Le contenant (1) destiné à des produits pharmaceutiques ou des denrées de luxe possède un insert d'agent sec (3) qui est logé dans l'orifice du contenant et qui est bloqué pour ne pas être davantage enfoncé dans le contenant. Dans un état initial avant utilisation du contenant, son orifice est scellé par un opercule (17). Une fois cet opercule enlevé, le dispositif de fermeture (7) est déplacé en direction de l'insert d'agent sec, par exemple, en tournant un capuchon vissé jusqu'à une butée. A cette occasion, les moyens de couplage (11, 18) s'engrènent au niveau du dispositif de fermeture et de l'insert d'agent sec. On obtient ainsi une liaison de force entre ces éléments dans la direction axiale.
