Definitions

  • Containers for holding beverages or food are already known, at the opening of which a collar-shaped edge flange is molded.
  • the container closure consists of a film, preferably an aluminum film, which is detachably and liquid-tightly connected to the edge flange.
  • a tab is also regularly provided, which protrudes beyond the edge flange and which enables the film to be pulled off the container opening.
  • Press-through packaging which is also known as blister packaging, for receiving medicaments or food supplements in the form of tablets, pills or dragees is also known.
  • These packages consist of two films arranged one above the other and connected to one another, convex bulges for receiving a medicament or a food supplement in tablet form are formed in the upper film and the flat side of the upper film is covered by the lower film.
  • the upper film is primarily a plastic film and the lower film is an aluminum film.
  • EGG RULE 26 Form are relatively unstable and can not be stored for a long time or change their effects, so that the liquid dosage form only has to be prepared if necessary. This is complex, especially since an exact dosage between the medication and the liquid must sometimes be observed and a germ-free production must be ensured.
  • the object of the present invention is therefore to create a closure for liquid containers which is detachably but liquid-tightly connected to a collar-shaped edge flange formed on the opening of the liquid container and which is germ-free and sealed against the external environment and also against the container interior sealed storage of a medicament or nutritional supplement until it is used together with a liquid and which also enables the preparation of a dispersion or suspension of the medicament or nutritional supplement and the liquid in the container before opening the liquid container.
  • this object is achieved by means of two foils arranged one above the other, between which a cavity is formed for receiving the medicament or food supplement.
  • This cavity is formed by a centrally arranged, convex, cup-shaped bulge in the upper film and the lower film covering the flat side of the upper film.
  • the flat surface of the upper film and the surface of the lower film covering this are at least partially connected to one another by gluing or welding.
  • the upper and the lower film are glued or welded to one another only at their peripheral edge.
  • the flat surface of the upper film and the surface of the lower film covering it are adhesively bonded or welded to one another.
  • the upper film has a larger one than the lower film Tensile strength. The difference in tensile strength of the two films according to the invention is designed such that the lower film can be torn as a result of a pressure exerted on the bulge in the upper film and, via this, on the medicament or food supplement, such that the medicament or food supplement passes through the lower film can be pressed into the interior of the liquid container and the upper film cannot be torn by the pressure exerted.
  • the upper and lower film can be a plastic film made of polymers, copoly mers or polymer blends.
  • the upper film can be thermoplastic.
  • the top film can also be selected from the group consisting of a polyethylene, a polyethylene copolymer, a polyethylene terephthalate, a polypropylene, a polypropylene copolymer and mixtures thereof.
  • the lower film can comprise an aluminum film, an aluminum film coated on one or both sides or a brittle polymer film.
  • the closure also expediently has a pull tab which projects beyond the collar-shaped edge flange and is formed on the peripheral edge of the upper film or on the peripheral edge of the upper and lower films.
  • An important advantage of the invention is that the medicament or the food supplement and the liquid required for ingestion are contained in a single package, so that the separate carrying or procurement of ingestion liquid is not necessary. Due to the aseptic and liquid-tight arrangement of the medication or the nutritional supplement within the container closure, separate storage of both components is achieved until use, so that a longer shelf life can be achieved. Pushing through the medication or nutritional supplement by means of the lower film into the interior of the liquid container when the container is closed advantageously enables the aseptic production of a dispersion or suspension, which is generally preferred by consumers as a liquid administration form. Ultimately, the invention also enables precise dosing of medication or food supplements and the liquid in the container without great effort.
  • Fig. 1 - a front view of the liquid container with the closure according to the invention
  • Figure 2 the upper part of the liquid container with the closure according to the invention and the medicament or food supplement in tablet form in section.
  • the closure according to the invention consists of two films 2 and 4 arranged one above the other, between which a cavity is formed for receiving a medicament or nutritional supplement 3.
  • This cavity is formed by a centrally arranged, convex, cup-shaped bulge 8 in the upper film 2 and by the lower film 4 covering the flat side of the upper film 2.
  • the closure formed in this way is connected in a liquid-tight manner to a collar-shaped edge flange 7 formed on the opening of the liquid container 6.
  • the flat surface of the upper film 2 and the surface of the lower film 4 covering this are connected to one another at least in part by gluing or welding.
  • the upper and lower Sheets 2 and 4 are only glued or welded together at their peripheral edge.
  • This embodiment is primarily used for liquid containers with a small width of the container opening.
  • the flat surface of the upper film 2 and the surface of the lower film 4 covering this are glued or welded to one another over the surface.
  • the closure also has a pull tab 5 projecting over the edge flange 7, which is formed on the peripheral edge of the upper film 2 or on the peripheral edge of the upper and lower films 2 and 4.
  • the upper and lower foils 2 and 4 are detachably glued to one another and the lower foil 4 is welded to the edge flange 7 or glued inseparably.
  • the dispersion or suspension in the liquid container 6 can be absorbed, for example, by means of a drinking straw which is introduced into the crack in the lower film 4.
  • both foils can be pulled off together from the edge flange 7 and the liquid container 6 can thus be opened completely.
  • the upper and lower foils 2 and 4 are welded to one another or permanently bonded and the lower foil 4 is releasably glued to the edge flange 7.
  • the upper film 2 has a greater tear resistance than the lower film 4.
  • the difference in tensile strength of the Both foils 2 and 4 are designed such that the lower foil 4 not only tears as a result of a pressure exerted on the bulge 8 in the upper foil 2 and via this on the medicament or food supplement 3, but also tears open such that the medicament or food supplement
  • the bulge 8 is merely bent or crumpled by the pressure exerted, the upper film 2 not tearing.
  • the tensile strength of films 2 and 4 is to be designed depending on the film material used, the inside width of the container opening and the film thickness. However, the thickness of the foils is always greater than 0.015 mm.
  • the foils 2 and 4 consist of a food-safe material, for example according to the US regulation FDA Regulations 21 CFR, 177.1520 or according to the European Directive 90/128 / EEC, Appendix 2, Section A.
  • the upper and the lower film 2 and 4 a plastic film made of polymers, copolymers or polymer blends, such as PE, LDPE, MDPE, HDPE, LLDPE, PET and PP.
  • the upper film 2 is thermoplastic. According to another embodiment variant, the upper film 2 is selected from the group consisting of a polyethylene, a polyethylene copolymer, a polyethylene terephthalate, a polypropylene, a polypropylene copolymer and mixtures thereof. According to a further embodiment variant, the lower film is
  • the medicament or food supplement 3 is shown in tablet form.
  • the tablet form is very advantageous for pushing through the lower film 4.
  • the medicament or food supplement 3 can also be in powder or liquid form.
  • the inside width is Container opening 20 mm and the width of the edge flange 3.5 mm.
  • the upper film 2 consists of polyethylene with a thickness of 0.15 mm and the lower film 4 made of aluminum with a thickness of 0.075 mm.
  • the upper and lower films 2 and 4 are welded or sealed to one another at their peripheral edge and the lower film 4 is releasably glued to the edge flange 7.
  • the pull tab 5 is formed on the peripheral edge of the upper and lower foils 2 and 4.
  • the inside width of the container opening is 70 mm and the width of the edge flange is 6 mm.
  • the upper film 2 is a polypropylene film with a thickness of 0.2 mm and the lower film 4 is a double-sided plastic-coated aluminum film with a thickness of 0.1 mm.
  • the flat surface of the upper film 2 and the surface of the lower film 4 covering it is adhesively bonded to one another in a planar manner.
  • the lower film 4 is welded to the edge flange 7 and the pull tab 5 is formed on the upper film 2.
  • closure according to the invention is handled in the following way:
  • both foils 2 and 4 are pulled off together and simultaneously from the edge flange 7 (see FIG. 3, arrow B) and the liquid container 6 thereby 8 fully open. If the pull tab 5 is only formed on the upper film 2, only the upper film 2 is pulled off and the lower film 4 remains firmly connected to the edge flange 7. The dispersion or suspension can be taken up by means of a drinking straw.
  • the user is, of course, at liberty to forego pushing the medication or food supplement 3 through the lower film 4 and producing a dispersion or suspension.
  • the upper and lower films 2 and 4 are pulled off together from the edge flange 7, the medicament or food supplement 3 is pressed through the lower film 4 and then taken together with the liquid 1 or by drinking the liquid 1 again.

Abstract

L'invention concerne un système de fermeture pour récipient pour liquide, qui est relié de manière étanche aux liquides à un flasque marginal (7) formé au niveau de l'ouverture du récipient pour liquide. Ce système de fermeture comprend deux films (2, 4) superposés, entre lesquels est formée une cavité pour recevoir un médicament ou un complément alimentaire (3). Cette cavité est formée par une courbure (8) convexe en forme de cuvette, centrée dans le film supérieur (2) et par le film inférieur (4) qui recouvre la face plane du film supérieur (2). A cet effet, la surface plane du film supérieur (2) et la face du film inférieur (4), qui la recouvre, sont interconnectées au moins en partie par collage ou soudage. Le film supérieur (2) résiste mieux à la traction que le film inférieur (4). La différence de résistance à la traction des deux films (2, 4) est étudiée de manière que le film inférieur (4) puisse être rompu, par pression exercée sur la courbure (8) et sur le médicament ou le complément alimentaire, par le biais de ladite courbure (8), le film supérieur étant quant à lui indéchirable.
