Definitions
- the present invention relates to a single-dose container for substances which can be taken orally, particularly pharmaceutical products.
- Single-dose containers are known in which liquid or semisolid pharmaceutical products, e.g. solutions or syrups to be taken orally in predefined amounts, which correspond to therapeutic doses, are packaged and stored.
- liquid or semisolid pharmaceutical products e.g. solutions or syrups to be taken orally in predefined amounts, which correspond to therapeutic doses, are packaged and stored.
- These containers are made of plastics and are constituted by a product containment body having a dispensing opening closed by a plug or by an adhesive film which can be removed at the time of use.
- the product In some cases it is possible to administer the therapeutic single dose directly from the container; in other cases, instead, the product must be poured into a glass, a spoon or the like before being ingested by the user.
- single-dose containers are known whose body is provided with additional tabs or extensions for grip by the user; however, they suffer from the drawback of unsafe and unstable grip, due both to the small size of the tabs and to the inward deformations that occur proximate to the line where joining with the body of the container occurs, preventing regular dispensing of the contained product.
- the aim of the present invention is to eliminate the above-noted drawbacks of conventional single-dose containers by providing a single-dose container for substances which can be taken orally, particularly pharmaceutical products, which allows easy and stable grip, ensures safe contact with the user's hands, eliminates the need for squeezing and allows to dispense the contained product completely without spillage or waste.
- an object of the present invention is to provide a structure which is simple, relatively easy to provide in practice, safe in use, effective in operation, and relatively low in cost.
- the present single-dose container for substances that can be taken orally, particularly pharmaceutical products of the type comprising a hollow body for containing the substance which is provided with a dispensing opening, characterized in that said hollow body has external curvatures formed on its lateral surface which are adapted to constitute means for gripping said container.
- 1 generally designates a single-dose container for substances that can be taken orally, particularly pharmaceutical products.
- the container 1 is constituted by a hollow body 2 which contains a dose of the substance to be taken and is provided with a dispensing opening 3 which is formed at its top.
- the container 1 is produced monolithically, is made of a heat-sealable plastic material and has an element for closing the opening 3, such as a stopper or an adhesive strip, which can be removed upon use and is not shown since it is of a conventional type.
- the body 2 is provided with two external curvatures 5 which are anatomically shaped and are provided with ridges 6 to allow the user's fingers to grip the container 1 directly, safely and stably.
- the curvatures 5 are constituted by recesses formed in the surface 4 and the ridges 6 protrude with respect to the bottom surface 7 of said curvatures 5.
- the curvatures 5 can be constituted by raised portions formed on the surface 4 or by an alternation of raised portions and recesses, while the ridges 6 can lie inward with respect to the bottom surface 7 of the curvatures 5.
- the ridges 6 extend substantially along the longitudinal dimension or along a transverse dimension of the body 2.
- At least one portion 8 of the profile of the opening 3 is anatomically shaped to allow the user's lips to rest directly thereon, so as to avoid spilling and wasting the contained product.
- the body 2 is a cylinder at one end of which the dispensing opening 3 is formed; the opening is substantially oval and arranged obliquely with respect to the longitudinal axis of the cylinder, and the curvatures 5 are formed on the lateral surface 4 of said cylinder, proximate to the opposite end.
- the curvatures 5 are constituted by mutually opposite and symmetrical recesses which lie substantially along the longitudinal dimension of the cylinder; multiple ridges 6 are formed on the bottom surface 7 of said curvatures.
- the body 2 is substantially shaped like a tray on the top of which the dispensing opening 3 is provided and on the lateral surface 4 of which two outer curvatures 5 are formed.
- the curvatures 5 are constituted by mutually opposite and symmetrical recesses, on the bottom surface 7 of which there are provided multiple transverse ridges 6.
- the container 1 is produced as individual and separate parts, as in the case of the cylinder of Figure 1, or in strips 9 constituted by a plurality of containers 1 which are arranged side by side and connected one another, as in the case of the trays of Figure 6.
- each container 1 of the strip 9 is provided with at least one lateral wing 10 which couples to a corresponding wing 10 of another container 1 adjacent thereto.
- Each pair of adjacent wings 10 that interconnect two successive containers 1 is provided with a predefined fracture line, such as to allow the separation of containers upon use.
