Definitions

  • the invention relates to packaging according to the preamble of claim 1 or 2 for flat, flexible objects, in particular for film-shaped or wafer-shaped dosage forms, as example, from the US 3872970 are known. These are non-resealable packages in which the contents of the package are accessible when the package is opened by peeling off a cover layer (eg peel film), whereby no tools, in particular tools (scissors, knives, etc.) are required for opening become.
  • the packages according to the invention have features by which unauthorized opening, in particular by children, is prevented or at least made more difficult.
  • the invention further relates to the use of such packages for packaging flat, flexible objects
  • wafers are used for the administration of drugs, in particular for oral administration.
  • These are thin platelets of a drug-containing film, these platelets are tuned in their thickness and dimensions to the dispensed drug amount.
  • a wafer is generally flexible, soft, lightweight and tearable.
  • the total thickness of such a film-shaped drug may be 5 ⁇ m to 5 mm, usually 50 ⁇ m to 1 mm.
  • the surface shape can be round, oval, triangular or quadrangular, polygonal or have an arbitrarily rounded shape.
  • Suitable active ingredients are drugs of all classes, for example analgesics, psychotropic drugs or nicotine for smoking weaning.
  • Childproof packaging is well known in the field of tablet blister packaging.
  • the opening of such a package can be made more difficult by the fact that the cover layer of the blister pack is provided with a peel-off layer, which prevents the pushing through and thus the removal of the tablets. Only after removing the peel-off layer, the tablet can be removed in the usual way by pushing the cover layer ( DE 196 13 959 A1 ).
  • the cover layer DE 196 13 959 A1 .
  • such packages are not suitable, since wafers can not be removed from their packaging by being pushed out of a package due to their physical nature.
  • DE 197 43 485 A1 describes a child resistant package for large area and pressure sensitive products, e.g. B. transdermal therapeutic systems.
  • the packing is formed from a dimensionally stable carrier film and a peelable, flexible cover layer; the two foils are sealed together.
  • the carrier film has a perforation, which is breakable by bending. When breaking a breaking edge is formed, which serves as a gripping aid for removing the cover layer.
  • the unauthorized opening by children is prevented by the fact that the stiffness of the sealed films is dimensioned so that the finger force required for bending the Aufbrech Weg of children can not be applied, by adults, however, already.
  • US-A-3,941,248 describes a child-resistant packaging for tablets, pills and the like.
  • the packaging comprises a carrier layer and a releasably connected to this cover layer.
  • the packaging has a first surface area in which the carrier layer is not connected to the cover layer and which is completely surrounded by an edge region in which the carrier layer is detachably connected to the cover layer, whereby a cavity enclosed on all sides for receiving an object (tablet , Pill, etc.).
  • the package further comprises a second surface area in which the carrier layer is not connected to the cover layer, wherein at least one perforation line is present, which extends at least partially within the second surface area. This perforation is applied both in the carrier layer and in the cover layer.
  • the severing of the perforation causes a free edge of the cover layer to be created, which serves as a gripping aid and permits manual detachment of the cover layer from the carrier layer.
  • the invention was therefore based on the object to provide a package which is suitable for packaging flat, flexible objects, in particular wafer-like or "film-shaped" dosage forms, and which impedes or prevents unauthorized opening and removal of the contents of the package, in particular the unauthorized opening and removal by children.
  • adult persons should be allowed to use the packaging appropriately.
  • the package according to the invention is characterized in that the width of the web increases in the tear-open direction of the package in such a way that the web preferably extends with a convex curvature or with the tip of a triangle or with the short edge of a trapezoid in the second surface area ,
  • the above-mentioned object is achieved in that in a known packaging of the type described above, the second surface area on the one side by the web and on the opposite side by an edge region which extends to an outer edge of the package and in which the carrier layer is connected to the cover layer is limited, and that the second surface area on two further, opposite sides reaches to the respective outer edges of the packaging, wherein the carrier layer is not connected in these areas with the cover layer.
  • the process of opening the package requires a combination and sequence of at least two actions that must be performed independently to expose the dosage form contained in the package.
  • the package must be kinked and severed at the perforation. Only then a gripping aid is made available, which must be taken in the subsequent step with the fingers, so that the cover layer can be removed from the support layer, whereby the dosage form contained in the cavity is accessible.
  • the cover layer is also severed when the carrier layer is torn off along the perforation. This prevents that the torn portion of the support layer can serve as a handle for the cover layer. Rather, it is necessary for the further opening process, resulting from the severing of the perforation free edge of the Cover layer with your fingers as described above.
  • the edge of the cover layer which later serves as a grasping aid, is inaccessible and can not be grasped with the fingers since it is connected to the underlying support layer. Since the opening of the package, as described above, requires a combination and sequence of at least two actions, unauthorized opening of the package, especially by children, is made difficult or prevented. by virtue of the need for an order of action reduces the risk of children being able to open the pack by a playful approach.

  • the backing layer and cover layer may be similar or identical in their composition (materials), nature (eg thickness, transparency) and / or function. Therefore, the opening of the package can also be carried out in such a way that after the perforation has been severed, a free edge of the carrier layer (instead of the cover layer) is used as a gripping aid in order to remove the carrier layer from the cover layer.
  • a free edge of the carrier layer instead of the cover layer
  • both the free edge of the carrier layer and the free edge of the cover layer are used together as Anfbus Anlagenn to replace the two packaging material portions of each other.
  • the carrier layer is releasably connected to the cover layer, in such a way that the cover layer can be removed by finger force and without the aid of tools from the carrier layer, as is known from other peel-capable packaging.
