Description

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf einen Folienbehälter gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1.The invention relates to a film container according to the preamble of claim 1.

Die Folienbehälter dienen unter anderem dazu, pharmazeutische Wirkstoffformulierungen vor Umwelteinflüssen von außen zu schützen, die unter Umständen die pharmazeutische Qualität der Wirkstoffformulierung beeinflussen können.Among other things, the film containers serve to protect pharmaceutical active ingredient formulations from environmental influences from the outside, which under certain circumstances may influence the pharmaceutical quality of the active substance formulation.

In einigen Staaten werden Vorschriften zur kindersicheren Verpackung von medizinischen Produkten in Erwägung gezogen oder existieren bereits, um insbesondere Arzneimittel, die eine toxische Wirkung aufweisen bzw. bei einer unsachgerechten Verwendung ein verhältnismäßig hohes gesundheitliches Risiko darstellen, für Kinder schwer zugänglich zu machen.In some countries, provisions for the child-resistant packaging of medical products are being considered or already in place, in particular to make medicines that have a toxic effect or, if used improperly, a relatively high risk to health, difficult to access for children.

Die DE 20 2004 003 781 U1 offenbart eine kindersichere rechteckförmige Verpackung aus zwei miteinander verbundenen Folien, deren flächiger Verschlussbereich mindestens einen Aufnahmeraum für ein Füllgut einschließt. Zum Öffnen des Folienbehälters ist eine vom Verschlussbereich vollständig umschlossene physikalische Markierung in Form einer Änderung, insbesondere Schwächung oder Wegnahme eines Abschnitts des Randbereichs, vorgesehen. Hierbei ist als erste Markierung ein Schnitt oder eine Linie im als Siegel-Randbereich ausgebildeten Verschlussbereich der aus den Folien gebildeten Verpackung, die sich nicht bis zum Rand der Verpackung erstreckt, und als zweite Markierung eine Linie vorgesehen, die die erste Markierung kreuzt und die bei Knickung die erste Markierung zur Außenkontur hin zum Einreißen freigibt. Der Verschlussbereich ist im Bereich eines ungesiegelten Entnahmebereichs zu einer Lasche verbreitert, die geknickt wird, damit der Schnitt Bestandteil der Außenkontur wird. Das Öffnen der Verpackung erfolgt durch Abreißen eines Verpackungsendes an der Stelle des Schnittes. Im Weiteren ist ein Rechteckbeutel mit einem in einem Eckbereich verbreiterten Siegelrand gezeigt, durch den eine schräg zur Außenkontur ausgerichtete Biegelinie verläuft, von der rechtwinklig ein Schnitt oder eine Stanzung zum Einreißen der Verpackung abgeht.The DE 20 2004 003 781 U1 discloses a child-resistant rectangular package of two interconnected films, whose areal closure area includes at least one receiving space for a filling material. To open the film container, a physical marking completely enclosed by the closure region is provided in the form of a change, in particular weakening or removal of a portion of the edge region. Here, the first mark is a cut or a line formed in the seal edge region closure region of the packaging formed from the films, which does not extend to the edge of the package, and provided as a second mark a line that crosses the first mark and at Buckling releases the first marking towards the outer contour towards tearing. The closure area is widened in the area of an unsealed removal area to a tab which is bent so that the cut becomes part of the outer contour. The opening of the packaging takes place by tearing off a packing end at the location of the cut. In addition, a rectangular bag with a widened in a corner region sealing edge is shown, through which extends an obliquely to the outer contour aligned bending line from the right angles a cut or a punch for tearing the packaging.

Die Merkmale des Oberbegriffs des Anspruchs 1 sind aus der US 4 243 144 bekannt.The features of the preamble of claim 1 are known from US 4,243,144 known.

Es ist Aufgabe der Erfindung, einen Folienbehälter der eingangs genannten Art zu schaffen, der kindersicher verschlossen sowie großflächig zu öffnen und dabei einfach herstellbar ist.It is an object of the invention to provide a film container of the type mentioned, the childproof closed and open over a large area and is easy to produce.

Erfindungsgemäß wird die Aufgabe durch die Merkmale des Anspruchs 1 gelöst.According to the invention the object is achieved by the features of claim 1.

Der erfindungsgemäße Folienbehälter weist keine zusätzliche Lasche oder einen gegenüber der Aufnahmekammer veränderten Verbindungsbereich auf, wie es aus dem Stand der Technik bekannt ist, weshalb er relativ einfach und damit kostengünstig herstellbar ist. Nach dem zielgerichteten Falten bzw. Knicken der Folien, das beispielsweise auf einer Beilage beschrieben ist, erfolgt ein mittiges Ein-bzw. Aufreißen des Folienbehälters entlang der Markierung, die erfindungsgemäß als Schwächung ausgestaltet ist, um eine Primärverpackung, ein Pulver, eine Flüssigkeit oder ein anderes Füllgut zu entnehmen, wobei die Markierung, beispielsweise eine partielle Schwächung der Folien, zumindest ein Einreißen der Folien mit einem Rissverlauf bis in die Aufnahmekammer sicherstellt und nach dem Knicken zumindest an der Außenkante des Folienbehälters vorliegt.The film container according to the invention has no additional tab or a relation to the receiving chamber changed connection area, as is known from the prior art, which is why it is relatively simple and therefore inexpensive to produce. After the targeted folding or buckling of the films, which is described for example on a side dish, there is a central on or. Rupture of the film container along the marking, which is designed according to the invention as a weakening to remove a primary packaging, a powder, a liquid or other filling material, wherein the marking, for example, a partial weakening of the films, at least tearing of the films with a crack to ensures in the receiving chamber and present after bending at least on the outer edge of the film container.

Um das Knicken der Folien zum Freilegen der Markierung zu erleichtern, ist erfindungsgemäß eine weitere Markierung, die ebenfalls als Schwächung ausgestaltet ist, zum gezielten Knicken der Folien parallel sowie beabstandet zu einer Aussenkante des Folienbehälters vorgesehen. Die weitere Markierung kann beispielsweise über die gesamte Breite des Folienbehälters verlaufen und als Linie auf einer der Folien aufgedruckt sein. Zum Schutz des Füllgutes ist der Abstand der weiteren Markierung zu der zugeordneten Aussenkante kleiner als der Abstand zu der Aufnahmekammer bemessen.In order to facilitate the buckling of the films to expose the mark, according to the invention a further marking, which is also designed as a weakening, provided for the targeted buckling of the films in parallel and spaced from an outer edge of the film container. The further marking may, for example, extend over the entire width of the film container and be printed as a line on one of the films. To protect the filling material, the distance between the further marking and the associated outer edge is smaller than the distance from the receiving chamber.

Erfindungsgemäß trennt die weitere Markierung die Markierung symmetrisch, d. h. die Markierung weist auf beiden Seiten der weiteren Markierung die gleiche Länge auf. Diese Variante wird insbesondere dann bevorzugt, wenn Toleranzgründe insbesondere in Verbindung mit einer geringen Länge der Markierung von beispielsweise 1 mm gegen die asymmetrische Form sprechen. Auch in dieser Ausführungsform ist einerseits das Einreißen der Folien zur Entnahme des Füllgutes relativ einfach zu bewerkstelligen und andererseits das Füllgut aufgrund eines verhältnismäßig großflächigen Verbindungsbereiches vor Umgebungseinflüssen geschützt. Zur Erleichterung der Entnahme des Füllgutes verläuft vorteilhafterweise die Markierung mittig zu der Aufnahmekammer. Zweckmäßigerweise verlaufen die Markierung und die weitere Markierung rechtwinklig zueinander.According to the invention, the further marking separates the marking symmetrically, d. H. the mark has the same length on both sides of the further mark. This variant is particularly preferred when tolerance reasons speak in particular in connection with a small length of the marking of, for example, 1 mm against the asymmetrical shape. Also in this embodiment, on the one hand the tearing of the films for removal of the filling material is relatively easy to accomplish and on the other hand, the filling protected due to a relatively large area connection area from environmental influences. To facilitate the removal of the filling material, the marking advantageously runs centrally to the receiving chamber. The marking and the further marking expediently run at right angles to one another.

In Ausgestaltung ist die Markierung als Kerbe oder Schnitt ausgebildet. Bevorzugt ist die weitere Markierung eine Perforation. Aufgrund dieser Maßnahmen ist der Folienbehälter werkzeuglos zu öffnen und die zur Öffnung erforderlichen Vorgänge für einen Erwachsenen intuitiv erfassbar.In an embodiment, the marking is designed as a notch or cut. The further marking is preferably a perforation. Due to these measures, the foil container can be opened without tools and the operations required for opening can be detected intuitively by an adult.

Damit das Füllgut vor durch den Verbindungsbereich eindringender Feuchtigkeit geschützt ist, sind die beiden Folien durch einen Heißsiegellack verbunden.So that the contents are protected from penetrating through the connection area moisture, the two films are connected by a heat sealing lacquer.

Zweckmäßigerweise ist die eine Folie als die Aufnahmekammer aufweisende Trägerfolie und die andere Folie als Deckfolie ausgebildet. Die Trägerfolie des so genannten Blisters wird beispielsweise durch Tiefziehen hergestellt. Vorzugsweise sind die Folien als Metall- und/oder Kunststoff- und/oder Papierfolie ausgebildet. Diese Materialien können in mehreren Schichten vorhanden sein. Die Trägerfolie besteht beispielsweise auf der dem Füllgut zugewandten Seite aus einer ca. 60 µm dicken Schicht aus Polyvinylchlorid (PVC), auf die eine ca. 45 µm dicke Aluminiumfolie folgt, die wiederum mit einer ca. 25 µm dicken Folie aus einem orientierten Polyamid (oPA) verbunden ist. Die Deckfolie kann beispielsweise auf der dem Füllgut zugewandten Seite aus einer ca. 5 µm ( 3 bis 7 µm) dicken Heißsiegellackschicht, beispielsweise aus einem kommerziell erhältlichen Polymergemisch auf Acrylatbasis, einer ca. 20 µm dicken Aluminiumfolie und einer damit verbundenen ca. 23 µm dicken Folie aus einem Polyethylenterephtalat (PET) bestehen. Selbstverständlich können die beiden Folien auch identisch sein oder aus anderen Materialien gefertigt werden, wobei ein PET und ein PVC/Aluminium-Laminat per se schwer einreißbar sind.Conveniently, the one film as the receiving chamber having carrier film and the other film is formed as a cover sheet. The carrier film of the so-called blister is produced for example by deep drawing. Preferably, the films are formed as metal and / or plastic and / or paper foil. These materials can be present in multiple layers. The support film consists for example on the side facing the contents of an approximately 60 micron thick layer of polyvinyl chloride (PVC), followed by an approximately 45 microns thick aluminum foil, which in turn with an approximately 25 micron thick film of an oriented polyamide ( oPA) is connected. The cover film may, for example, on the side facing the product from a about 5 microns (3 to 7 microns) thick heat sealing lacquer layer, for example, a commercially available polymer mixture based on acrylate, about 20 microns thick aluminum foil and an associated about 23 microns thick Foil consist of a polyethylene terephthalate (PET). Of course, the two films may also be identical or made of other materials, with a PET and a PVC / aluminum laminate per se are difficult to tear.

Aluminiumfolien haben zudem den Vorteil, dass sie eventuell licht- oder UV-empfindliches Füllgut vor sichtbarem Licht und UV-Strahlung schützen.Aluminum foils also have the advantage that they may protect light-sensitive or UV-sensitive filling material from visible light and UV radiation.

Nach einer Weiterbildung sind mehrere Folienbehälter zu einer Blisterkarte zusammengefasst und mittels sich kreuzender Perforationen zu vereinzeln. Eine Blisterkarte kann beispielsweise sechs Folienbehälter umfassen, wobei jeder Folienbehälter durch die sich kreuzenden Perforationen von benachbarten Folienbehältern zu trennen ist.According to a further development, a plurality of film containers are combined to form a blister card and singulated by intersecting perforations. For example, a blister card may comprise six foil containers, each foil container being separated by the intersecting perforations from adjacent foil containers.

Um einem Kind das Öffnen eines Folienbehälters der kompletten Blisterkarte zu erschweren, verläuft bevorzugt die weitere Markierung parallel sowie beabstandet zu einer die Blisterkarte in ihrer Mitte teilenden Perforation. Demnach ist entweder zunächst ein Abtrennen eines Folienbehälters von der Blisterkarte mit nachfolgendem Knicken entlang der weiteren Markierung zum Einreißen gemäß der Markierung oder ggf. nach Trennung der Blisterkarte in zwei Hälften ein Knicken sämtlicher Folienbehälter auf einer Seite der die Blisterkarte teilenden Perforation und das darauf folgende Einreißen eines Folienbehälters gemäß dessen Markierung erforderlich, wobei der Rissverlauf durch den ununterbrochenen Randverlauf des jeweils gegenüberliegenden Folienbehälters wesentlich erschwert ist.In order to make it difficult for a child to open a film container of the complete blister card, preferably the further marking runs parallel and at a distance to a perforation dividing the blister card in its middle. Accordingly, either first a separation of a film container from the blister card with subsequent buckling along the further marking for tearing according to the marking or, if necessary, after separation of the blister card in two halves buckling all film containers on one side of the blister card dividing perforation and the subsequent tearing a film container according to its marking required, the crack profile is considerably more difficult by the continuous edge of the respective opposite film container.

Es versteht sich, dass die vorstehend genannten und nachstehend noch zu erläuternden Merkmale nicht nur in der jeweils angegebenen Kombination, sondern auch in anderen Kombinationen verwendbar sind. Der Rahmen der Erfindung ist nur durch die Ansprüche definiert.It goes without saying that the features mentioned above and those yet to be explained below can be used not only in the respectively indicated combination but also in other combinations. The scope of the invention is defined only by the claims.

Der erfindungsgemäße Folienbehälter ist beispielsweise für die Verpackung von pharmazeutischen Formulierung enthaltend Dabigatran etexilate, wie sie zum Beispiel in der WO 03/074056 beschrieben werden, geeignet.The film container according to the invention is, for example, for the packaging of pharmaceutical formulation containing Dabigatran etexilate, as described for example in the WHERE 03/074056 be described, suitable.

Der als Blister ausgebildete Folienbehälter 1 ist Bestandteil einer Blisterkarte 2, die mit sich kreuzenden Perforationen 3, 4 zur Vereinzelung der Folienbehälter 1 versehen ist. Jeder Folienbehälter umfasst im Wesentlichen zwei Folien 5, von denen die eine als eine Aufnahmekammer 6 für ein Füllgut 7, nämlich eine mit einem pharmazeutischen Wirkstoff gefüllte Kapsel 8, aufweisende Trägerfolie 9 und die andere als eine mittels eines Heißsiegellackes mit der Trägerfolie 9 verbundene Deckfolie 10 ausgebildet ist, wobei sich der Verbindungsbereich der beiden Folien 5 unter Freilassung der Aufnahmekammer 6 über deren gesamte Fläche erstreckt.Trained as a blister film container 1 is part of a blister card 2, which is provided with intersecting perforations 3, 4 for separating the film container 1. Each film container essentially comprises two films 5, one of which has a carrier film 9 having a capsule 8 filled with a pharmaceutical agent as a receiving chamber 6 and the other as a cover film 10 connected to the carrier film 9 by means of a heat sealing lacquer is formed, wherein the connecting portion of the two films 5, leaving the receiving chamber 6 extends over the entire surface.

Zwischen zwei parallelen längsseitigen Aussenkanten 11 des rechteckförmigen Folienbehälters 1 ist mittig zur Aufnahmekammer 6 im Verbindungsbereich der beiden Folien 5 eine als Schnitt 12 ausgebildete Markierung 13 vorgesehen, die sowohl zur zugeordneten stirnseitigen Außenkante 14 als auch zur Aufnahmekammer 6 beabstandet ist. Der Schnitt 12 dient als Aufreißhilfe und liegt nach einem Knicken des Folienbehälters 1 entlang einer parallel und beabstandet zur entsprechenden stirnseitigen Außenkante 14 verlaufenden, als Perforation 15 ausgeführten weiteren Markierung 16 an der entsprechenden Außenkante 14 vor. Die sich über die gesamte Breite des Folienbehälters 1 erstreckende weitere Markierung 16 verläuft rechtwinklig zu dem Schnitt 12 und trennt diesen derart asymmetrisch, dass der Verlauf des Schnittes 12 zwischen der Aufnahmekammer 6 und der weiteren Markierung 16 länger als zwischen der weiteren Markierung 16 und der benachbarten stirnseitigen Aussenkante 14 ist. Die der weiteren Markierung 16 zugeordnete Aussenkante 14 mündet in die mittig verlaufende Perforation 3 der Blisterkarte 2, weshalb ein Einreißen des Folienbehälters 1 zur Entnahme der Kapsel 8 erst nach einer Vereinzelung möglich ist.Between two parallel longitudinal outer edges 11 of the rectangular film container 1 is centered on the receiving chamber 6 in the connecting region of the two films 5 is provided as a cut 12 formed mark 13 which is spaced both to the associated frontal outer edge 14 and to the receiving chamber 6. The section 12 serves as a tear-open and lies after a buckling of the film container 1 along a parallel and spaced from the corresponding end-side outer edge 14 extending, designed as a perforation 15 further mark 16 at the corresponding outer edge 14. The over the entire width of the film container 1 extending further mark 16 extends at right angles to the section 12 and separates it so asymmetrically that the course of the section 12 between the receiving chamber 6 and the further mark 16 longer than between the further mark 16 and the adjacent frontal outer edge 14 is. The further marking 16 associated outer edge 14 opens into the centrally extending perforation 3 of the blister card 2, which is why tearing of the film container 1 for removal of the capsule 8 is possible only after a separation.
