Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a set of packaging and dispensing a liquid, of the type described in the preamble of claim 1.
  • the invention applies, for example, to the packaging and dispensing of medicaments for oral administration.
  • the invention relates to an assembly whose tamperproof ring is formed integrally with the plug, as opposed to the case where these two elements are separate parts.
  • the tamperproof ring makes it possible to ensure that the packaging and distribution assembly has not already been used.
  • the frangible region is broken from the first use, thus making it easy to distinguish the already used sets of unused sets.
  • a liquid such as one of the above-mentioned drugs, must not be contaminated after it has been packaged and before the first use of the packaging and dispensing unit containing it.
  • tamper rings whose break is obtained by simple longitudinal retention of the ring relative to the neck during unscrewing of the cap, are not used in such an application.
  • the plug can rotate at an angle of between about 90 and 120 ° about the longitudinal axis before the frangible region breaks.
  • the frangible region which is generally formed by bridges, is then subjected to stretching not only longitudinally but also laterally.
  • An object of the invention is to solve this problem by providing a set of the aforementioned type which limits the risks associated with its use, especially for the oral administration of a drug.
  • the subject of the invention is a packaging and dispensing assembly according to claim 1.
  • the figure 1 schematically illustrates a set 1 for packaging and dispensing a medicament for oral administration.
  • This set 1 comprises a container 3 and a device 5 for closing the container 3.
  • the container 3 is in the example shown a plastic bottle. This vial 3 contains the drug in liquid form which has not been shown in the figures.
  • the bottle 3 comprises a body 7 extended by an upper neck 9 of liquid distribution.
  • the neck 9 extends along a longitudinal axis L. This axis L is oriented vertically when the bottle 3 rests on the bottom 11 of the body 7, as shown in FIG. figure 1 .
  • the walls of the body 7 are elastically deformable under the action of a transverse force to cause a decrease in the internal volume of the body 7 and thus allow the expulsion of the liquid through the neck 9.
  • a dropper tip 13 is disposed at the upper end of the neck 9.
  • a passage 15 extends longitudinally in the nozzle 13.
  • the passage 15 has a downstream orifice 17 (at the top on the figure 1 ) for allowing the liquid to exit the bottle 3 and the air inlet inside the bottle 3.
  • the neck 9 has several external reliefs including upper threads 19, intermediate notches 21 and a lower disc 22.
  • the neck 9 comprises several notches 21, 10 in the example shown, which are angularly distributed about the axis L.
  • the notches 21 have large sliding faces 23 and small blocking faces 25 which meet to form outer ends 27 of the notches 21.
  • the sliding surfaces 23 extend from the inside towards the outer ends 27, in the clockwise screwing direction indicated by the arrow V on the figure 2 .
  • two diametrically opposite regions 29 of the neck 9 are devoid of notches in order to allow demolding of the bottle 3 during its production.
  • the notches 21 are angularly distributed regularly around the axis L.
  • the notches 21 are arranged just in front of the disk 22, that is to say on it as seen on the figure 1 .
  • the notches 21 extend upwards from the upper surface 31 of the disc 22.
  • the disc 22 and the notches 21 are integral and form a block.
  • the disk 22 is centered on the axis L and is oriented horizontally. Its diameter is such that its outer edge 32 is flush with the outer ends 27 of the notches 21, as can be seen in FIG. figure 2 . Alternatively, the diameter of the disc 22 may be larger for its wafer 32 is spaced radially outwardly relative to the ends 27 of the notches.
  • the longitudinal height h of the notches 21 may be about 1.6 mm.
  • the longitudinal thickness e of the disk 22 may be about 0.5 mm.
  • the closure device 5 comprises an upper plug 33 and a lower tamperproof ring 35.
  • the plug 33 and the ring 35 are connected, as will be seen later, by a frangible region, formed by frangible bridges 37. Only 3 bridges 37 are visible on the figure 3 but the device 5 comprises 5 in the example shown. These bridges 37 are distributed regularly angularly about the longitudinal axis L.
  • the bridges 37 are integral with the plug 33 and with the tamperproof ring 35 so that the closing device 5 is formed by a single piece.
  • the plug 33 comprises internal reliefs in the form of an upper pin 39 for closing the passage 15 of the nozzle 13. This pin 39 projects downwards from the upper wall of the plug 33.
  • the plug 33 further has internal threads 41 arranged in its central section. These nets 41 are complementary nets 19 provided on the neck 9. In the vicinity of each bridge 37, the plug 33 is extended downwards by tabs 38 inclined outwards.
  • the tamper-proof ring 35 also has internal projections including tabs 43 and ribs 45.
  • the tabs 43 are for example regularly distributed angularly about the longitudinal axis L.
  • the tamper-proof ring 35 comprises five tabs 43.
  • Each tab 43 is inclined and extends from its outer end 47 integral with the ring 35 towards its inner end 49, in the direction opposite to the direction V.
  • the lower ends of the bridges 37 are integral with the inner ends 49 of the tongues 43.
  • the ribs 45 are disposed longitudinally at a distance below the tabs 43 and are angularly offset from the latter. These ribs 45 have an angular extent so that they form arcs of a circle. These ribs 45, 5 in number in the example shown, are for example regularly distributed angularly about the longitudinal axis L.
  • the ribs 45 have a convex section and thus have a lower ramp surface 51 inclined downwards and towards the outside and an upper surface 53 inclined in the opposite direction.
  • the closure device 5 is assembled on the neck 9.
  • This assembly is ensured by screwing the plug 33 on the neck 9, that is to say by rotation of the plug 33 about the axis L in the direction V by ra p-port at the neck 9. During this movement , the outer threads 19 of the neck 9 and the inner threads 41 of the plug 33 cooperate to cause the downward movement of the closure device 5 with respect to the bottle 3.
  • the overall height of the block formed by the notches 21 and the disc 22 is small enough that a single downward movement allows the ribs 45 to cross this block.
  • the ribs 45 are then passed under the disk 22 and the tabs 43 are opposite the notches 21.
  • the assembly 1 is then in its assembled configuration before use illustrated by the figures 1 and 5 .
  • the plug 33 If the plug 33 is rotated about the axis L with respect to the neck 9 in the direction opposite to the direction V, the inner ends 49 of the tongues 43 bear against the locking faces 25 of the notches 21. contacting is typically performed after a rotation less than 30 °.
  • the notches 21 then block the ring 35 in rotation about the axis L in the direction opposite to the direction V with respect to the neck 9.
  • the plug 33 is then separated from the tamperproof ring 35. The unscrewing of the plug 33 can then continue freely until it completely disengages the neck 9.
  • the figure 6 illustrates the set 1 at the end of this release. If it is desired to administer the liquid contained in the bottle 3, the assembly 1 is turned over in order to dispose the tip 13 facing the open mouth of a patient, for example a young child.
  • the disc 22 then retains the ring 35 relative to the neck 9 against the effect of gravity.
  • the assembly 1 makes it possible to ensure good sterility of the liquid before dispensing and to ensure that it has not already been used.
  • the costs associated with the assembly 1 are reduced because the closure device 5 is in one piece. This advantage is further increased by the one-piece construction of the disc 22 and the notches 21 which allows the ribs 45 to pass through the notches 21 and the disc 22 during a single movement of the closure device 5.
  • the disc 22 of longitudinal retention of the tamperproof ring 35 after separation of the plug 33 may be replaced by a retaining member separated from the notches 21 and having a shape different from that of a disc.
  • this retaining member may comprise several sections angularly distributed about the axis L.
  • the ribs 45 may be replaced by a continuous ring or discontinuous, or have other forms than those described above.
  • liquid contained is not necessarily a drug for oral application.
  • the invention can be applied to the preservation and distribution of any type of liquid.
