Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine kindersichere Verpackung für Tabletten, Kapseln und dgl. pharmazeutische Produkte, mit einer Blisterverpackung mit wenigstens einem mittels einer durchdrückbaren Deckelfolie verschlossenen Napf zur Aufnahme der Tabletten, wobei die Blisterverpackung in einer Umverpackung zwischen einem Bodenteil und einem Abdeckteil angeordnet ist, wobei der Abdeckteil von einem Verschlussteil überdeckt ist, wobei die Deckelfolie der Blisterverpackung gegen den Abdeckteil gerichtet ist, und wobei bei geschlossener Umverpackung zwischen Bodenteil bzw. Blisterverpackung und Abdeckteil ein erster Haftkleber angeordnet ist.The invention relates to a childproof packaging for tablets, capsules and The like. Pharmaceutical products, with a blister pack with at least one the bowl is sealed with a push-through cover film for receiving of the tablets, with the blister pack in an outer packaging between a bottom part and a cover part is arranged, the cover part is covered by a closure part, the lid film of the blister packaging is directed against the cover part, and when closed Outer packaging between the bottom part or blister packaging and cover part a first pressure sensitive adhesive is arranged.

Die Gefährlichkeit einer unkontrollierten Medikamenteneinnahme ist unbestritten, wobei vor allem Kleinkinder insbesondere beim Herumliegenlassen von Medikamenten dieser potentiellen Gefahr verstärkt ausgesetzt sind.The danger of an uncontrolled drug intake is undisputed especially small children, especially when lying around Medicines are increasingly exposed to this potential danger.

Zur Verpackung von Tabletten und Kapseln haben sich vor allem Blisterverpakkungen durchgesetzt. Weit verbreitet sind die sogenannten Durchdrückpackungen, bei der die Tablette aus einem Napf im Bodenteil der Verpackung durch eine Deckelfolie hindurchgedrückt wird. Bei anderen bekannten Blisterverpakkungen wird eine Deckelfolie durch Abziehen (Peelen) entfernt. Noch andere Blisterverpackungen weisen eine Kerbe als Aufreisshilfe auf.Blister packs are particularly useful for packaging tablets and capsules enforced. The so-called blister packs are widespread, where the tablet comes out of a bowl in the bottom part of the packaging a lid film is pressed through. In other known blister packs a cover film is removed by peeling it off. And others Blister packs have a notch as a tear-open aid.

Heute bereits genutzte Möglichkeiten zur Erhöhung der Kindersicherheit der genannten Blisterverpackungen für Tabletten und Kapseln bestehen darin, das Öffnen durch Massnahmen zu erschweren, die einen erhöhten Kraftbedarf erfordern, wie z.B. stärkere Durchdrückfolien, erhöhte Klebkraft von Abziehfolien oder hoher Reisswiderstand bei Aufreisskerben.Ways already used today to increase child safety The blister packs for tablets and capsules mentioned consist of the Complicating opening by measures that require increased power, such as. stronger push-through foils, increased adhesive strength of peel-off foils or high tear resistance with tear notches.

Verpackungen, die nur mit erhöhtem Kraftaufwand geöffnet werden können, sind zwar kindersicher, können jedoch auch für Senioren ein Problem darstellen. Packaging that can only be opened with increased effort, are childproof, but can also be a problem for seniors.

Kindersichere Verpackungen der eingangs genannten Art sind aus US-A-3 912 082 und US-A-5 242 055 bekannt.Childproof packaging of the type mentioned are from US-A-3 912 082 and US-A-5 242 055.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine kindersichere Verpackung der eingangs genannten Art zu schaffen, die von Senioren ohne Schwierigkeiten geöffnet werden kann. Im wesentlichen geht es darum, eine Verpackung so auszugestalten, dass zu deren Öffnung eine Kombinationsfähigkeit erforderlich ist, oder dass simultane oder komplexe Bewegungsabläufe durchgeführt werden müssen.The invention has for its object a childproof packaging the kind mentioned at the beginning to create that of seniors without difficulty can be opened. Basically it's about packaging like this to design that a combination ability is required to open them or that simultaneous or complex movements are carried out have to.

Zur erfindungsgemässen Lösung der Aufgabe führt, dass der Verschlussteil von einem Aufreissteil übergriffen ist, dass zwischen Bodenteil und Verschlussteil ein zweiter Haftkleber angeordnet ist, wobei der zweite Haftkleber eine gegenüber dem ersten Haftkleber höhere Klebkraft aufweist und der Verschlussteil bei geschlossener Umverpackung um eine erste Falzlinie und beim Öffnen der Umverpackung um eine zweite Falzlinie gefaltet ist, und wobei nach Faltung des Verschlussteils um die zweite Falzlinie der zweite Haftkleber zwischen Verschlussteil und Abdeckteil angeordnet ist.The closure part leads to the achievement of the object according to the invention is overlapped by a tear-open part, that between the base part and the closure part a second pressure sensitive adhesive is arranged, the second pressure sensitive adhesive has a higher adhesive strength than the first pressure sensitive adhesive and the closure part when the outer packaging is closed around a first fold line and at Opening the outer packaging is folded around a second fold line, and being after Folding the closure part around the second fold line between the second adhesive Closure part and cover part is arranged.

Der Napf der Blisterverpackung ragt bevorzugt von der durch den Bodenteil gebildeten Ebene nach aussen ab, wobei im einfachsten Fall der Napf der Blisterverpackung eine Öffnung im Bodenteil durchdringt. Besteht der Bodenteil aus einem verformbaren Werkstoff, kann aus diesem ebenfalls ein Napf herausgeformt und der Napf der Blisterverpackung im Napf des Bodenteils angeordnet sein.The bowl of the blister pack preferably protrudes from that through the bottom part formed level outwards, in the simplest case the bowl of the blister pack penetrates an opening in the bottom part. Is the bottom part from a deformable material, a bowl can also be formed from this and the bowl of the blister pack is arranged in the bowl of the bottom part his.

Die Umverpackungen lassen sich besonders kostengünstig aus einem einzigen Zuschnitt herstellen.The outer packaging can be cost-effectively made from a single one Make the cut.

Wenigstens zwei Verpackungen können zu Mehrportionenpackungen zusammengefasst sein, wobei die einzelnen Verpackungen zu einer Streifenpackung aneinandergereiht und vorzugsweise von der Streifenpackung entlang einer Schwächungslinie, vorzugsweise einer Perforationslinie, abtrennbar sind.At least two packs can be combined into multi-portion packs be, the individual packages to a strip pack lined up and preferably from the strip pack along one Line of weakness, preferably a line of perforations, can be separated.

Zur Herstellung der erfindungsgemässen Verpackung können die heute zur Herstellung von Verpackungen bekannten starren, halbstarren und flexiblen Werkstoffe in Form von Blättern, Folien, Laminaten oder anderen Schichtstoffen einer Dicke von wenigen µm bis wenige mm, beispielsweise 8 µm bis 3 mm, verwendet werden. Beispiele für folienförmige Materialien sind Metallfolien wie beispielsweise Aluminiumfolien. Weitere Beispiele für folienförmige Materialien sind Papier, Halbkarton und Karton. Bedeutsam sind insbesondere auch kunststoffhaltige Folien, z.B. auf der Basis von Polyolefinen, wie Polyethylenen oder Polypropylenen, Polyamiden, Polyvinylchlorid, Polyestern, wie Polyalkylenterephthalaten und insbesondere Polyethylenterephthalat. Die kunststoffhaltigen Folien können Monofolien aus Kunststoffen, Laminate aus zwei oder mehreren Kunststofffolien, Laminate aus Metall- und Kunststofffolien, Laminate aus Papieren und Kunststofffolien oder Laminate aus Papieren und Metall- und Kunststofffolien sein. Die einzelnen Schichten der folienförmigen Materialien können mittels Klebstoffen, Kaschierklebern, Haftvermittlern und/oder durch Extrusionsbeschichten, Coextrusion oder Kaschieren usw. aneinander festgelegt werden. Geeignete Kunststofffolien sind beispielsweise nicht orientierte oder axial oder biaxial orientierte Monofolien oder Laminate aus zwei oder mehreren nicht orientierten oder axial oder biaxial orientierten Folien aus Kunststoffen auf der Basis von Polyolefinen, wie Polyethylenen oder Polypropylenen, Polyamiden, Polyvinylchlorid, Polyestern, wie Polyalkylenterephthalaten und insbesondere Polyethylenterephthalat, Cyclo-Olfin-Copolymere (COC) und Prolychlortrifluorethylene (PCTFE, Markenname ACLAR).For the production of the packaging according to the invention can be used today Production of packaging known rigid, semi-rigid and flexible Materials in the form of sheets, foils, laminates or other laminates a thickness of a few µm to a few mm, for example 8 µm to 3 mm, be used. Examples of foil-like materials are metal foils such as for example aluminum foils. More examples of film-shaped materials are paper, semi-cardboard and cardboard. Plastic-containing ones are also particularly important Foils, e.g. based on polyolefins, such as polyethylene or Polypropylenes, polyamides, polyvinyl chloride, polyesters such as polyalkylene terephthalates and especially polyethylene terephthalate. The plastic ones Films can be monofilms made of plastics, laminates made of two or more Plastic films, laminates of metal and plastic films, laminates of Papers and plastic films or laminates made of paper and metal and Be plastic films. The individual layers of the sheet-like materials can by means of adhesives, laminating adhesives, adhesion promoters and / or through Extrusion coating, coextrusion or lamination etc. fixed to each other become. Suitable plastic films are, for example, non-oriented or axially or biaxially oriented monofilms or laminates of two or more non-oriented or axially or biaxially oriented films made of plastics based on polyolefins, such as polyethylenes or polypropylenes, Polyamides, polyvinyl chloride, polyesters such as polyalkylene terephthalates and in particular polyethylene terephthalate, cyclo-olefin copolymers (COC) and prolychlorotrifluorethylene (PCTFE, brand name ACLAR).

Für die Bodenteile von Blisterverpackungen eignen sich vor allem transparente Kunststoffe mit guten Umformeigenschaften wie Polyethylen, Polypropylen, Cyclo-Olefin-Copolymere, Polyvinylchlorid, Polyethylenterephthalat, Polyamid sowie aus den genannten Werkstoffen hergestellte Laminate, z.B. aus PVC und Polychlortrifluorethylen (PCTFE) oder PVC und PVDC (Polyvinyldichlorid). Transparent parts are particularly suitable for the bottom parts of blister packs Plastics with good forming properties such as polyethylene, polypropylene, Cyclo-olefin copolymers, polyvinyl chloride, polyethylene terephthalate, polyamide as well as laminates made from the materials mentioned, e.g. made of PVC and polychlorotrifluoroethylene (PCTFE) or PVC and PVDC (polyvinyl dichloride).

Für nicht transparente Blisterverpackungen werden beispielsweise Laminate aus einer beidseitig mit einer Kunststofffolie beplankten Aluminiumfolie mit dem beispielsweisen Aufbau Polyamid/Aluminium/PVC oder auch pigmentierte Kunststofffolien eingesetzt. Die Deckelfolie ist üblicherweise eine Aluminiumfolie einer beispielsweisen Dicke von 20µm, die lackiert und/oder mit einem Heisssiegellack beschichtet sein kann.Laminates, for example, are used for non-transparent blister packs from an aluminum foil planked on both sides with a plastic foil with the for example construction polyamide / aluminum / PVC or pigmented Plastic films used. The cover film is usually an aluminum film an example thickness of 20 microns, which is painted and / or with a Heat seal lacquer can be coated.

Alle vorstehend genannten folienförmigen Materialien wie Papier, Halbkarton, Karton und Kunststofffolien in der Form von Monofolien, Laminaten usw. können zumindest eine weitere kontinuierliche Schicht aus gesputterten oder aus dem Vakuum abgeschiedenen keramischen Materialien in einer Dicke von etwa 5 bis 500 nm (Nanometer) aufweisen, beispielsweise Al2O3 oder SiOx, wobei x eine Zahl zwischen 1.5 und 2 ist. Diese Schichten aus keramischen Materialien haben Barriereeigenschaften und verhindern die Diffusion von Gasen und Wasserdampf durch die Verpackung.All of the above-mentioned sheet-like materials such as paper, semi-cardboard, cardboard and plastic films in the form of monofilms, laminates, etc. can have at least one further continuous layer of sputtered or vacuum-deposited ceramic materials with a thickness of about 5 to 500 nm (nanometers) , for example Al 2 O 3 or SiO x , where x is a number between 1.5 and 2. These layers of ceramic materials have barrier properties and prevent the diffusion of gases and water vapor through the packaging.

Eine in den Fig. 1 bis 5 dargestellte Umverpackung 100 für eine Blisterverpakkung 102 von im wesentlichen streifenförmiger Gestalt ist mit einem Bodenteil 104, einem Abdeckteil 106, einem Verschlussteil 108 und einem Aufreissteil 120 ausgestattet. Die Blisterverpackung 102 - im gezeigten Beispiel eine Einportionenpackung für eine Tablette 110 - weist einen Bodenteil 112 aus beispielsweise Polyvinylchlorid (PVC) mit einem aus diesem herausgeformten Napf 114 zur Aufnahme der Tablette 110 und eine mit dem Bodenteil 112 versiegelte bzw. verklebte Deckelfolie 116 aus beispielsweise Aluminium auf. Der Napf 114 der Blisterverpackung 102 durchdringt eine dem Umfang des Napfes 114 angepasste Bodenöffnung 118 im Bodenteil 104 der Umverpackung 100 und ragt vom Bodenteil 104 nach aussen ab. Der Bodenteil 112 der Blisterverpackung 102 liegt dem Bodenteil 104 der Umverpackung 100 innenseitig an und ist mit diesem zumindest partiell verklebt. Anstelle der Bodenöffnung 118 kann - sofern der Werkstoff dies erlaubt - aus dem Bodenteil 104 ebenfalls ein Napf herausgeformt sein, d.h. der Napf 114 der Blisterverpackung 102 würde in diesem Fall vom Napf im Bodenteil 104 aufgenommen.An outer packaging 100 shown in FIGS. 1 to 5 for blister packaging 102 is of a substantially strip-like shape with a bottom part 104, a cover part 106, a closure part 108 and an opening part 120 equipped. The blister pack 102 - in the example shown, a one-pack for a tablet 110 - has a bottom part 112, for example Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) with a molded out of it Cup 114 for receiving the tablet 110 and one sealed to the bottom part 112 or glued cover film 116 made of aluminum, for example. The Cup 114 of blister pack 102 penetrates the circumference of the cup 114 adapted bottom opening 118 in the bottom part 104 of the outer packaging 100 and protrudes outward from the bottom part 104. The bottom part 112 of the blister pack 102 lies on the inside of the bottom part 104 of the outer packaging 100 and is at least partially glued to it. Instead of the bottom opening 118 can - if the material allows this - also from the bottom part 104 The bowl, i.e. the cup 114 of the blister pack 102 would be in in this case received by the bowl in the bottom part 104.

Bodenteil 104, Verschlussteil 108 und Aufreissteil 120 sind als Streifen aus beispielsweise Karton einstückig miteinander verbunden und bei geschlossener Umverpackung 100 unter Bildung einer Doppelschlaufe dreilagig übereinandergelegt, wobei die Faltung so erfolgt, dass die freien Enden des Bodenteils 104 und des Aufreissteils 120 als Greiflaschen 122, 124 in Streifenlängsrichtung seitlich vorstehen. Der folienförmige Abdeckteil 106 aus beispielsweise Polyethylenterephthalat (PET) erstreckt sich unter Abdeckung der Blisterverpakkung 102 über einen Teil des Bodenteils 104 und ist über einen ersten Haftkleber 126 mit dem Bodenteil 104 bzw. mit der Blisterverpackung 102 und mit dem Abdeckteil 106 verklebt. Bei geschlossener Umverpackung 100 ist der Verschlussteil 108 um eine erste Falzlinie k gefaltet und über einen zweiten Haftkleber 128 mit dem darunterliegenden Bodenteil 104 verklebt. Dieser zweite Haftkleber 128 ist in Form eines Querstreifens auf dem Verschlussteil 108 beim Übergang zum Aufreissteil 120 angeordnet. Der dem Aufreissteil 120 anliegende Verschlussteil 108 ist mit diesem über eine im Bereich des Übergangs zum Bodenteil 104 liegende Klebstelle 130 verklebt. Die Klebstelle 130 kann beispielsweise auch über eine Siegelung erfolgen. Der zweite Haftkleber 128 weist eine gegenüber dem ersten Haftkleber 126 zwischen Abdeckteil 106 und Bodenteil 104 höhere Klebkraft auf. Bottom part 104, closure part 108 and tear-open part 120 are made of strips, for example Cardboard connected in one piece and when closed Outer packaging 100 is placed in three layers to form a double loop, the folding being such that the free ends of the bottom part 104 and the tear-open part 120 as gripping tabs 122, 124 in the longitudinal direction of the strip protrude sideways. The film-shaped cover part 106 made of, for example, polyethylene terephthalate (PET) extends under cover of the blister pack 102 over part of the bottom part 104 and is over a first pressure sensitive adhesive 126 with the bottom part 104 or with the blister pack 102 and with the Cover part 106 glued. When the outer packaging 100 is closed, the closure part is 108 folded around a first fold line k and over a second pressure sensitive adhesive 128 glued to the underlying bottom part 104. This second Pressure sensitive adhesive 128 is in the form of a horizontal stripe on the closure part 108 Transition to tear-open part 120 arranged. The adjoining tearing part 120 Closure part 108 is with this in the area of the transition glued to the bottom part 104 adhesive 130. The adhesive 130 can for example, also take place via a seal. The second pressure sensitive adhesive 128 has a compared to the first pressure sensitive adhesive 126 between cover member 106 and Bottom part 104 higher adhesive strength.

Zur Entnahme der Tablette 110 werden zunächst die Greiflaschen 122, 124 ergriffen und in Pfeilrichtung K beidseitig auseinander gezogen. Bei diesem Vorgang löst sich der Aufreissteil 120 an der Klebestelle 130 vom Verschlussteil 108 und der Verschlussteil 108 vom Bodenteil 104 beim Streifen aus dem zweiten Haftkleber 128. Die zu einem Streifen maximaler Länge auseinandergezogene Umverpackung 100 wird nun in Pfeilrichtung L um eine zweite Falzlinie I zurückgefalzt. Die Lage der Falzlinie I ist hierbei so angelegt, dass nach erfolgtem Falzen der streifenförmig auf dem Verschlussstreifen aufgetragene zweite Haftkleber 128 nunmehr dem Abdeckteil 106 aufliegt und nach leichtem Druck zwischen zwei Fingern mit diesem verklebt ist.To remove the tablet 110, the gripping tabs 122, 124 are first gripped and pulled apart on both sides in the direction of the arrow K. With this Operation detaches the tear-open part 120 from the closure part at the adhesive point 130 108 and the closure part 108 from the bottom part 104 when striping the second adhesive 128. The pulled apart into a strip of maximum length Outer packaging 100 is now in the direction of arrow L by a second Folded line I folded back. The position of the fold line I is designed so that after folding, the striped one applied on the sealing strip second pressure sensitive adhesive 128 now rests on cover part 106 and after light pressure between two fingers is glued to it.

In einem weiteren Öffnungsschritt wird der Aufreissteil 120 ergriffen und durch eine in Pfeilrichtung M durchgeführte Öffnungsbewegung von der Unterlage weggezogen. Da die Klebkraft des zweiten Haftklebers 128 grösser ist als die Kraft des ersten Haftklebers 126, erfolgt bei der Öffnungsbewegung in Pfeilrichtung M eine Trennung zwischen dem Abdeckteil 106 und dem Bodenteil 104 bzw. der Blisterverpackung 102. Bei diesem Vorgang wird die Deckelfolie 116 der Blisterverpackung 102 freigelegt. In dieser Offenstellung kann die Tablette 110 durch Fingerdruck auf den Napf 114 in Pfeilrichtung N durch die Deckelfolie 116 hindurchgestossen und ausgeworfen werden.In a further opening step, the tear-open part 120 is gripped and pulled through an opening movement carried out in the direction of arrow M from the support pulled away. Since the adhesive strength of the second pressure sensitive adhesive 128 is greater than that The force of the first pressure sensitive adhesive 126 occurs during the opening movement in the direction of the arrow M a separation between the cover part 106 and the bottom part 104 or the blister pack 102. In this process, the cover film 116 of the blister pack 102 is exposed. In this open position, the tablet can 110 by finger pressure on the bowl 114 in the direction of arrow N through the Cover foil 116 pushed through and ejected.
