Definitions

  • the invention relates to a childproof blister pack for tablets and the like. small objects according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • a blister pack is known from US 4 124 190 A.
  • the aforementioned document describes a blister pack consisting of a strip from a blister film, the several wells arranged in a row next to each other has, in which tablets are contained and which are closed by a cover film.
  • a cover film Around to be able to remove a tablet, one presses on the well, and that through the tablet Pressure passed on the cover film leads to its overstretching and finally to one Tear the cover film, which frees the tablet from the well.
  • it is between two cardboard carrier boards sandwiched, the aligned with the wells with openings are. These carrier boards are firmly connected. The protrude on their top Cups through the openings.
  • EP 1 057 744 A2 describes a child-safe and senior-friendly blister pack for Tablets, capsules and the like.
  • Pharmaceutical products with at least one by means of a press-through cover foil closed bowl for receiving the tablets in a Outer packaging between a bottom panel and an intermediate panel, the intermediate panel is covered by a cover plate.
  • a first adhesive between the intermediate board and between the intermediate board and the Cover plate a second pressure sensitive adhesive, the latter in the sealed outer packaging one lower than the first pressure sensitive adhesive and after separation of the cover plate from the Intermediate board has a higher adhesive strength than the first pressure sensitive adhesive.
  • the opening This packaging requires different adhesive strength due to the use of glue a combination ability in the sense that before pressing the tablet different parts of the packaging separated from each other and pressed against each other again Need to become.
  • the packaging has at least one inner or outer Lock that prevents the slider from being pulled out without a special locking mechanism is released, for its operation thought work is necessary, the toddlers usually do not raise.
  • US 3 872 970 A describes a child-resistant blister pack in which the wells carrying blister film is sealed by a tough, sealed cover film that is not can be pushed through, but must be peeled off.
  • a tough, sealed cover film Around an edge strip to make accessible, which can be gripped with your fingers to peel off, the Blister film on two parallel grooves, which are covered by the cover film which has a line of weakness in this area. Because of the grooves, the Blister film are stretched, causing the cover film to tear open in the weakened area and an edge strip of the same is thereby accessible. Since you also through the cover film Bending the blister film can tear open, this packaging does not appear particularly safe against manipulation by children.
  • US 5833 071 A does not describe a blister pack whose cups are tough push-through film are closed. Each well is surrounded by a groove, which by the cover film is spanned. The cover film must be with a pointed object, for example a knife in the area of the grooves to close the enclosed cup open without the risk of the pointed object causing the in the well contained tablet is damaged.
  • the manipulation of this packaging is childproof, but not very user-friendly, and it can do that for people who don't have a steady hand Removing the tablets can make it a difficult procedure.
  • EP 0 634 342 A2 describes a blister pack in which there is one next to each well Recess is arranged, which you can reach into with your finger.
  • the cover sheet completely covers the wells and the finger wells only half, so that one grasp there and peel off the blister film.
  • the invention has for its object a child-resistant blister packaging at the beginning Specify the type mentioned, which is childproof to a high degree and convenient to do so handle is.
  • the cover foil by a To protect the carrier board against being pushed through.
  • the tablets are not made by tearing off a strip of the protective Carrier board accessible, but by opening individual compartments in which each individual blister are housed, from which the single blister after one for children difficult to understand process can be removed individually undamaged to the tablet in question in the usual way by pushing through the cover film or, if one push-through-proof cover film is used to release it by peeling it off.
  • This tear-resistant tape extends the entire length of the support panels and is at at least one end glued to a corner portion of the lower support panel. This corner section and the one above it lying corner section of the intermediate panel are preferably by lines of weakness delimited, and the upper support panel arranged above has one in the corner area corresponding section.
  • the tear-resistant tape mentioned is preferably only with the lower one Carrier panel glued.
  • the lower carrier board has a grain direction on, which are parallel to the said edge and thus parallel to the tear-resistant tape extends, which facilitates separation of the tear-resistant tape from the cardboard material.
  • the blister pack according to the invention therefore consists of the individual blistem at least three carrier boards, the receiving compartments for individual taking and removal form the single blister.
  • the carrier boards are made of cardboard, it is advantageous if you have another, i.e. Adds a second intermediate board, the direction of its grain expediently runs orthogonally to the fiber direction of the other intermediate panel, of course in in all cases preferably parallel to the edge.
  • the upper carrier board has a grain direction that preferably runs transversely to the edge at which the edge segments are broken open. This grain direction increases the stability of this board because its load-bearing structure in the is essentially comb-like.
  • the blister pack according to the invention contains only one row of blisters needs, but is comparable to what the above-mentioned US 4 125 190 A shows preferably, and as shown in the embodiment, designed in two rows.
  • Fig. 5 excerpt in an enlarged scale a cross section through a composite of the the aforementioned four panels with a single blister enclosed therein.
  • the lower support panel 290 is made of cardboard of slender rectangular outline with rounded corners. The dimensions are, for example, approximately 80 x 170 mm.
  • the blank has two longitudinal edges 291 and two transverse edges 292. In the area of the longitudinal edges 291 four transverse weakening lines 293 are formed at regular intervals, the in the example shown, starting from the edge, about 11 mm deep into the support panel 290 extend into it. At approximately the same distance between the weakening lines 293 weakening lines 295 are formed near corner regions 294, which run arcuate and open into the transverse edges 292.
  • the curved weakening line 295 can be in a perforation, for example consist.
  • the lines of weakness 293 may be lines of cut that the cardboard material almost penetrate completely or completely.
  • the lower intermediate panel 300 is formed by longitudinal edges 301 and transverse edges 302 limited. In the example shown, it has ten approximately square openings 308 which are arranged at equal mutual distances. The space between the Breakthroughs 308 are made by transverse webs 309 and a longitudinal web 305 certainly. Transverse ends extend from the longitudinal edges 301 Lines of weakness 303, each with the transverse boundary lines of the openings 308 s worn.
  • Lines of weakness 303 can completely or almost completely remove the cardboard material completely penetrating cuts, but remain adjacent to the edges 301 and adjacent to the openings 308 are each narrow, non-weakened webs 307.
  • the in the area Lines of weakness 303 extending from corner sections 304 are arcuate in FIG Perforation lines elongated, which end in the transverse edges 302.
  • Edges 306 of the openings 308 from the longitudinal edges 301 an equally large distance have the lines of weakness 296 from the edges 291, as in the lower support panel 290 are spaced.
  • FIG. 3 shows an upper intermediate panel 310, which is essentially the lower intermediate panel 300 is the same, but differs from this in that its corner sections are cut away are and their grain is transverse. A further description is therefore unnecessary.
  • An upper support panel 320 is shown in FIG. 4. It has the same outline as the one above Intermediate board 310, i.e. their corner areas are cut away. So the outline is of Longitudinal edges 321 and transverse edges 322 formed on the cut away End corner areas.
  • the fiber of the cardboard material that forms the top support panel 320 runs in the transverse direction.
  • the upper support panel 320 has ten arranged in two rows at regular intervals Breakthroughs 328, the outline of which is half semicircular and half about is rectangular.
  • the opening dimensions of these openings 328 are smaller than that of Openings 308 and 318 on the intermediate panels, i.e. those between the openings 328 remaining webs 329 and 325 are wider than the corresponding webs in the Intermediate panels 300 and 310.
  • contours of the parallel, transverse boundaries of the openings 328 are by a short section of about 4 mm in the example shown in the direction of the adjacent longitudinal edge 321 extended by a cutting line 324.
  • the openings 328 extend between the openings Lines of weakness 323 which extend as far into the upper support panel 320 as that Lines of weakness 293, 303 and 313 in the other panels 290, 300 and 310.
  • Die Cutting lines 324 which start from the openings 328, are each rectangular kinked, the kinked legs in each case close to the lines of weakness mentioned 323 ends. Remain between these and the cutting lines 324 or the longitudinal edge 321 each narrow material webs 327, which are easy to break open.
  • the aforementioned tables 290, 300, 310 and 320 are intended to be superimposed and to be glued together.
  • the longitudinal ones are lying Lines of weakness 296 of the lower support panel 290, the boundary lines 306 close to the edge Openings 308 in the lower intermediate panel 300, the boundary lines 316 near the edge of the Openings 318 in the upper intermediate panel 310 and the angled sections of the Cutting lines 324 one above the other.
  • Fig. 5 shows the glued state of the aforementioned panels together with one of them enclosed single blister 400, consisting of a deep-drawn blister film 410, one that well 420 closing cover 420 formed by blister film 410 and one in the tablet T contained in the well 420.
  • the well 420 is of a flange 411 surrounded, which has an approximately square outline and to which the cover film 430 is attached.
  • FIG. 5 does not show the material thicknesses to scale. This are namely shown greatly enlarged compared to the other dimensions to the To facilitate understanding.
  • FIG. 5 It can be seen in FIG. 5 that the tear tape 298 in the edge area on the lower carrier panel 290 is glued on.
  • the lower intermediate panel 300 is glued to the lower carrier panel 290, which is shown in FIG the drawing is shown with an adhesive layer G.
  • the top Intermediate panel 310 with the lower intermediate panel 300 and the upper support panel 320 with the glued upper intermediate panel 310 In the drawing are the necessary Adhesive layers, however, omitted.
  • the lower carrier panel 290 can be coated on one side with polyethylene for the adhesive bond.
  • the lower intermediate panel 300 can then be applied to the lower one using heat Seal the carrier plate 290.
  • the lower intermediate panel 300 can be attached to its underside Polyethylene coated to be sealed onto the lower support panel 298.
  • the lower intermediate panel 300 on both sides with polyethylene coated so that then the upper intermediate panel 310, the lower intermediate panel 300 and the lower support panel 290 in a single operation using heat can be sealed together.
  • the substructure of the packaging is now complete and ready to accommodate the individual Blister 400 ready in the compartments thus formed.
  • the blister After inserting the blister, the are punched out of a larger blister, for example, into the Breakthroughs used in the intermediate panels delimited receiving compartments, and the upper carrier plate 320 is then placed on top and with the blister 400 occupied substructure sealed, for what purpose the upper support panel 320 on its underside can be coated with a heat-sealable material, for example polyethylene. Due to the smaller dimensions of the openings 328 in the upper support panel, the surrounding edge areas each cover the flange 411 of the blister 400, are the Blister 400 held captive in the receiving compartments.
  • the line of weakness 296 in the lower support panel 290 acts as a hinge, the narrow webs 307 and 317 on the lower and middle intermediate panels 300 and 310 as well as the narrow ones Web 327 on the upper support panel 320 break open, so that the entire edge segment in Swivels the area of the blister in question. But that section pivots the upper support panel 320, which is designated 324 in FIG. 4, as a rigid flag upwards, see above that the receiving compartment in which the blister 400 in question is located is not yet complete is released. This flag 324 stands up and prevents removal of the Blisters 400.
  • the invention can be implemented with any type of blister, for example with "mono-blisters", such as aluminum / aluminum or polypropylene / polypropylene (PP / PP), or with PP / Alu compound blister or with blister-proof cover foils
