Definitions
- the present invention relates to a case for receiving a package of medicament packs, which are arranged in columns for solid medicament portions, in particular for receiving a pack for means for contraception or hormone replacement therapy.
- Solid form medicaments are usually prepared in the form of pills, dragees, capsules, tablets and other solid dosage forms. If such medicines are not packaged in bulk containers, they can also be put together in so-called push-through packs (PTPs).
- PTPs push-through packs
- the latter packages generally consist of a mostly transparent plastic sheath, which has receiving troughs for the drug portions, as well as an aluminum foil welded to this sheath.
- the drug portions may be removed by pushing through the receiving well through the aluminum foil which is tearing.
- the containers formed by the individual receiving wells thus hermetically seal the portions from the time of welding until use, so that the drugs are protected against mechanical and chemical damage.
- the containers are usually arranged in the blister packs in columns and rows. This results in wise application of an order for the removal of the individual drug portions, namely a removal from top left row by row to the bottom right.
- dispensers are used for the blister packs, which protect them against impairments and hide discreetly from the outside, in that a medicament is stored therein.
- Such donors are used for example in DE 44 29 503 C .
- This blister pack dispenser includes a housing body having first and second plate-shaped members for receiving the blister pack therebetween.
- the first element has elongated holes through which the receiving spaces of the pack pass and protrude outwards out of them.
- the blister pack is thereby displaceable between the elements.
- the second member has dispensing portions facing the elongated holes and corresponding to the positions of the receiving spaces of the blister pack when displaced to a predetermined position.
- JP-A-2003-226360 proposed a housing for a blister pack in which the blister pack itself and the instructions for use can be easily accommodated at the same time.
- JP-A-2001-070404 ( WO 01/00135 A1 ) proposed to provide a holder for the blister pack, which has three areas, of which a first area contains a collection rule. A second and a third area with openings arranged like a matrix serve to accommodate the blister pack between them. On at least one of the second and third areas, the daily data and times associated with the intake to the individual openings are attached.
- the solution chosen there comprises a dispenser with a flat surface with a plurality of through openings and with a lid hinged to the support surface.
- the openings in the airfoil are arranged to correspond to a selected array of tablets in a blister pack.
- the lid further includes a rim portion having a larger area than the tableted area on the blister pack and an open window portion, the window portion having a smaller area than the predetermined area of the blister pack but having a larger area than the tablet area.
- the container has a daily calendar that can be aligned with the field of tablets to position a selected start day on a first tablet in the field of tablets. Near the open window, the lid further has a pointer indicating the first tablet to be taken after positioning the blister pack in the container.
- a recess is arranged in a plate, in which a strip with the daily information, preferably a continuous loop, is arranged. Through a slot in the edge part of the lid, the daily information is visible and can be assigned to the individual tablets in the blister pack.
- a cylindrical calendar container is provided with a cylindrical 7-day calendar. Each daily calendar starts with a new day and can be selectively aligned to a window.
- the tablets are used, for example, for contraception or hormone replacement therapy.
- a similar solution is also in DE 1 909 932 A
- a blister pack containing tablets for oral contraception is placed in a lid and bottom tablet pack.
- the bottom contains seven parallel rows of tablet spaces in the form of openings.
- At the top of each row is a window with an inscription that represents a day of the week.
- the inscription is printed on a sheet wound on a cylinder, with the days of the week extending axially along the cylinder.
- NL 6911920 describes such a solution.
- the container described therein comprises a blister pack of tablets for oral contraception, for example, and a cylindrical chamber integrally connected thereto which extends parallel to the rows of tablet spaces in the drug compartments in the blister pack, a plurality of apertures in the chamber which are aligned with the spaces and an elongate indicator tube rotatably disposed within the chamber and having weekday indicia extending along the axis of the tube and coinciding with the apertures in the chamber. Furthermore, a display mark is provided on the blister pack, the on a the openings is aligned. With the latter display, the beginning of an interruption of taking the tablets can be set for five days and then the first day of the restart after the interruption and the subsequent days of a 21-day intake period are automatically displayed and read.
- blister pack dispensers meet the stated requirements regarding the required safety when taking the medicaments, they provide suitable information, for example on the time of ingestion (date, time) associated with certain medicament portions.
- time of ingestion date, time
- these donors especially if a safe ingestion of the drug is to be guaranteed, extremely complicated:
- expensive dispensers are used for the blister packs.
- the display means are expensive: in the case of WO 01/00135 A
- a donor is given, which appears easy to produce. By imprinting the days of the week on the donor, however, this is inflexible. The same basically applies to the solution according to DE 39 05 851 A ,
- the present invention is therefore an object of the invention to provide a case that is suitable for the storage of a blister pack and has the required mechanical stability and thus everyday practicality, which further ensures that the presented drug portions safely taken in a predetermined by an instruction manual rhythm and that moreover can be made very easily and simply and therefore cost-effectively.
- the case according to the invention serves to receive a blister pack for medicaments in solid form, for example in the form of pills, dragees, capsules, tablets and other solid dosage forms.
- a blister pack a package for solid drugs is referred to, which is usually arranged in a matrix-like manner in columns and rows Containers for solid drug portions, typically each of these containers containing a drug portion.
- the pack is composed of at least two components, namely an upper, usually transparent part of deep-drawn plastic film, which has receiving cavities for the individual medicament portions, and a lower part, which is usually made of aluminum foil.
- the drug portions are after the joining of the two parts in the receptacles forming the receptacles and can be pushed through the aluminum foil by pressing on the receiving troughs, wherein the aluminum foil tears. Both sides can be provided with suitable imprints, such as manufacturer and drug information and instructions for use. Examples of imprints for application notes are in DE 692 20 842 T specified.
- the medicament portions included in the blister pack are preferably for contraception or hormone replacement therapy.
- the case according to the invention has a first and a second half of the case, which are articulated to each other.
- the first Etuihffy is designed as a pocket for receiving the blister pack and has an outer part and an inner visible part and first openings in the visible part and second openings in the outer part.
- the first openings are at least partially aligned with the second openings, at least where the containers are in the pocket after receiving the blister pack.
- the second half of the case has a first compartment for receiving a weekday display first display means and first windows for displaying the days of the week in an inner visible area of the second half of the case in the area of the first shelf.
- the first windows are arranged to be associated with the columns of containers of a blister pack received in the pocket.
- a blister pack can be easily accommodated in a manner that a clear assignment of displayed days of the week to the columns of containers on the blister pack is possible.
- the display means are interchangeably and variably received in a suitable tray, the blister pack can be used case-related with intake instructions, ie the first to be taken portion of medication can be provided with the associated time, so that adjacent portions are automatically assigned to the following intake times.
- the structure of the case is very simple, so that it is inexpensive to produce:
- the case can be made of cardboard or plastic. It is only necessary to provide a corresponding pocket for receiving the blister pack and a first compartment for receiving the first display means. If the case is made of cardboard, for example, this can be done by simply punching, folding and gluing the individual components in a suitable form. This is possible mechanized in a very cost effective manner.
- the case according to the invention fulfills the required functionality in a secure manner.
- the second half of the case has a second compartment and at least one second window in the region of the second compartment.
- the second compartment serves to receive a second display means indicating a day of the week pair, for example for displaying a drug intake interruption.
- the at least one second window is used to display these weekday pairs.
- the weekday pair indicates, on the one hand, the day of the week on which the last medication portion of the last intake phase was taken and, on the other hand, the day of the week on which the first medication portion of the next intake phase is to be taken.
- the medicament portions are to be continuously taken approximately in a 24-hour rhythm during an intake phase. After typically 21 days, the drug intake is discontinued. This is followed by an income-free (interruption) period.
- the second display means serve to indicate the end of the ingestion-free period of time to ensure that the first medication portion in the next intake phase is taken in time.
- the revenue-free period can be 7 days.
- the second display means indicate weekday pairs, so in the said case the day of the week of the last intake in a revenue phase before the revenue-free phase and the day of the week, which is 7 days after the first-mentioned day of the week.
- the weekday of the last intake is set as the first day of the weekday pair
- the weekday of the first intake of the next intake phase is automatically displayed as the second day of the weekday pair.
- certain periods of contraception may be prescribed for certain medicinal products, for example a taking phase lasting at least 24 days and not more than 120 days, and an interruption period of 4 days in this case ongoing.
- the next Ingestion Phase will begin on a different day of the week than the last Ingestion Phase. For this reason, the first display means must then be switched at the beginning of the next intake phase so that the first displayed day of the week corresponds to the day of the weekday pair displayed the second display means indicating the first intake day of the next intake phase. In contrast, if the total period includes a number of days divisible by 7, the day of the week of the first intake day of the next intake phase is identical to the day of the week of the first intake day of the last intake phase. In this case, the first display means can continue to be used without conversion.
- the first compartment is designed for insertion of the first display means and has a slot.
- the first compartment could also be hinged and record the first display means in the unfolded state.
- a structure in which the display means is inserted into the tray is, very easy to be realized: For this purpose, only two layers of a suitable material are required, which are bound together to form a compartment inextricably linked edge and form only one side of a slot through which the display means can be pushed into the tray.
- the slot may be open for articulation between the first and second half of the case.
- This allows an arrangement of the first windows for the first display means at a short distance from the blister pack, without the display means otherwise having to be pushed deep into the compartment, say from the opposite edge. In the latter case, the operation would be problematic, because an exchange and resetting the days of the week would be difficult. Due to the small distance between the windows and the blister pack, a fast and reliable allocation of the windows to the respective columns is possible. In addition, it is ensured that the display means can not easily slip out of the case and thus lost. Namely, even if the display means would not be kept sufficiently strong in the tray, it could not fall out of the tray in this arrangement of the slot.
- the at least one second window is located in the inner visible surface of the second half of the case. Since the first window for the first display means are already arranged in the inner visible surface of the second half of the case, an overview of the revenue situation is possible by simply opening the case. If the second window were located on the outside of the second half of the case, orientation on both sides would be required.
- two second windows are provided in each of which one of the weekdays of the weekday pair is visible. These windows are provided at a suitable distance from each other. If all days of the week are shown on the second display means and if one weekday pair can be assigned to the two second windows, the set weekday pair automatically appears if the two second windows are spaced apart from one another.
- This embodiment opens up the possibility that a weekday strip is used for the display of the weekday pairs, which is otherwise used as the first display means. Thus, different first and second display means are not necessary.
- the second windows are introduced into the inner viewing area at the desired daily distance, for example 5-day intervals, the desired weekday pair is automatically displayed.
- the weekday pairs on the display means may of course also be shown in pairs one above the other or side by side, so that the pairs then appear in a single window or in two immediately adjacent, for example, side by side or one above the other, arranged windows.
- strips can be used as a second display means with different distances of the weekdays shown, so that each different day intervals are displayed in two spaced-apart second windows. If second display means are provided on which the weekday pairs are displayed directly adjacent to one another or one above the other, weekday pairs are shown on different display means, each of which can indicate a certain period of a phase free of taking.
- the first compartment may be designed for insertion of the first display means, and the second compartment for inserting the second display means may be formed so that a simple production is possible.
- the advantages over a hinged embodiment have already been described with respect to the first compartment.
- the second compartment has an insertion opening for the second display means.
- the insertion opening may in particular be open towards an outer edge of the second half of the housing. This ensures easy accessibility of this compartment for insertion or removal of the display means.
- the insertion opening may further comprise a handle recess.
- the first and second display means may preferably be in the form of strips, namely in the form of a weekday strip or a strip of evidence for the weekday pairs. This ensures easy manufacturability.
- the strips can be made, for example, from paper, cardboard, plastic or metal and from composite (filled, for example, with reinforcement reinforcing materials, in particular fibers filled) materials of paper, cardboard, plastic, metal with each other or with other materials or laminates of these Materials exist.
- the strip used as the first display means may comprise, for example, a weekday series of 13 days starting from Sun (Sunday) through Mon, Tue, Wed, Thu, Fri, Sat, Sun, Mon, Tue, Wed, Thu to Fri such that all conceivable weekday series of a week, starting with any day of the week, can be formed by folding at the folds.
- Such a folded weekday strip can then be inserted into the first compartment and displays the intake days, starting with the selected first day of the week.
- the indicator strip selected as the second display means can be formed like the aforementioned weekday strip, whereby in the formation of the weekday pair then it has to be taken into account which interruption period is to be displayed.
- this can have a retaining tab on one of the longitudinal edges. As a result, for example, a strip can be more easily inserted into the first compartment and removed from it again.
- the blister pack is picked up from the bag in the first half of the case.
- the bag can also be designed in such a way that the blister pack can be inserted into it.
- the pocket has an insertion opening.
- the insertion opening on the bag can as well as the first compartment for articulation be open between the first and the second half.
- the bag is preferably designed so that the pack received by it snaps into the pocket immovable. This facilitates the handling in a significant way. In particular, this prevents the blister pack in the pocket from slipping so that the association between the days of the week displayed in the first windows and the blister pack containers is lost. This would significantly affect the safety of the intake.
- the first and / or second openings may be elongated holes.
- at least the perforations in the inner visible part can be designed as elongated holes through which the containers of the blister pack are intended to protrude.
- the blister pack is guided when inserted into the bag as it were, because the containers slide into the slots.
- the slots preferably extend along the columns of the containers.
- the blister pack when inserted into the pocket also immovably locks
- the containers are preferably raised domes, which penetrate into the slots after receiving the blister pack in the slots or through them, and the slots are the same length as the columns of the containers on the blister pack. After inserting the pack, all containers protrude into the oblong holes. Since there is no longer a game because of the equality of the lengths of the slots and the columns of the containers, the pack sits immovably firmly in the bag.
- the case can be made of any material, such as paper, cardboard, plastic or metal and composite materials of paper, cardboard, plastic, metal with each other or with other materials or laminates of these materials.
- the case can be additionally inserted into a slipcase, which may consist of one of the aforementioned materials.
- a case 1 according to the invention which has a first half-case 2 and a second half-half 3.
- the first and second half of the case are hinged to each other via a linkage 10.
- the first half-case 2 is formed by an inner visible part 4 and an outer part 5. Both parts are permanently connected to each other, for example, by gluing on the edge.
- an insertion opening 6 between the inner visible part and the outer part opens and forms access to a pocket for a blister pack.
- the package has raised containers 60 containing tablets or other solid dosage forms of a drug.
- the blister pack can over the insertion opening are inserted into the gap forming the pocket between the inner visible part and the outer part.
- the containers of the blister pack slide into the elongated holes 7 introduced into the inner visible part.
- the elongated holes are formed in a grid in the inner view part corresponding columns 61 a, 61 b, 61 c, 61 d, 61 e, 61 f, 61 g, in which the containers are received on the blister pack, so that all containers snap fit into these holes can.
- the blister pack has seven columns that correspond to the seven days of the week. Since the blister contains 24 containers, are in three of the seven slots corresponding to the columns 61 a, 61 b, 61 c in each case four containers and four slots corresponding to the columns 61 d, 61 e, 61 f, 61 g each three containers. The length of the slots is adjusted accordingly.
- holes are also introduced (not shown), which are located at the places where the containers of the blister pack are placed.
- a tablet in a container can be pushed out by pressing on the container through a lower aluminum foil, which closes the container below, and through these lower holes.
- the second Etuihgan 3 is formed as the first Etuihgan 2 of two parts.
- the first part forms an inner visible surface 11.

Description
Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft ein Etui zur Aufnahme einer in Spalten angeordnete Behältnisse für feste Arzneimittelportionen enthaltenden Arzneimittelpackung, insbesondere zur Aufnahme einer Packung für Mittel zur Empfängnisverhütung oder Hormonersatztherapie.The present invention relates to a case for receiving a package of medicament packs, which are arranged in columns for solid medicament portions, in particular for receiving a pack for means for contraception or hormone replacement therapy.
Arzneimittel in fester Form werden üblicherweise in Form von Pillen, Dragees, Kapseln, Tabletten und anderen festen Darreichungsformen zubereitet. Wenn derartige Arzneimittel nicht in einem Gefäß schüttbar konfektioniert angeboten werden, können diese auch in so genannten Blisterpackungen (PTP: push-through pack) zusammengestellt sein. Letztere Packungen bestehen im Allgemeinen aus einer meist durchsichtigen Kunststoffhülle, die Aufnahmemulden für die Arzneimittelportionen aufweist, sowie einer mit dieser Hülle verschweißten Aluminiumfolie. Zum Gebrauch können die Arzneimittelportionen durch Durchdrücken von der Aufnahmemulde aus durch die Aluminiumfolie hindurch, die dabei zerreißt, entnommen werden. Die durch die einzelnen Aufnahmemulden gebildeten Behältnisse schließen die Portionen vom Zeitpunkt des Einschweißens bis zum Gebrauch somit hermetisch ab, so dass die Arzneimittel gegen mechanische und chemische Beeinträchtigungen geschützt sind. Die Behältnisse sind in den Blisterpackungen üblicherweise in Spalten und Reihen angeordnet. Damit ergibt sich bei verständiger Anwendung eine Reihenfolge für die Entnahme der einzelnen Arzneimittelportionen, nämlich eine Entnahme von links oben zeilenweise nach rechts unten.Solid form medicaments are usually prepared in the form of pills, dragees, capsules, tablets and other solid dosage forms. If such medicines are not packaged in bulk containers, they can also be put together in so-called push-through packs (PTPs). The latter packages generally consist of a mostly transparent plastic sheath, which has receiving troughs for the drug portions, as well as an aluminum foil welded to this sheath. For use, the drug portions may be removed by pushing through the receiving well through the aluminum foil which is tearing. The containers formed by the individual receiving wells thus hermetically seal the portions from the time of welding until use, so that the drugs are protected against mechanical and chemical damage. The containers are usually arranged in the blister packs in columns and rows. This results in wise application of an order for the removal of the individual drug portions, namely a removal from top left row by row to the bottom right.
Auch wenn die Blisterpackungen durch das Einschweißen der Arzneimittelportionen gegen mechanische und chemische Einflüsse weitgehend geschützt sind, kann das Arzneimittel im täglichen Gebrauch dennoch leicht beeinträchtigt werden, etwa wenn die Behältnisse durch unachtsame Aufbewahrung beschädigt werden. Außerdem wird häufig gewünscht, dass die Blisterpackung von dritten Personen nicht als Aufbewahrungshülle für Arzneimittel erkannt wird. Aus diesem Grunde hat es nicht an Versuchen gefehlt, die vorgenannten Probleme zu lösen.Although the blister packs are largely protected by the welding of the drug portions against mechanical and chemical influences, the drug can still be slightly affected in daily use, such as if the containers are damaged by careless storage. In addition, it is often desired that the blister pack of third persons not as a storage case for drugs is detected. For this reason, there has been no lack of attempts to solve the above problems.
Üblicherweise werden hierzu Spender für die Blisterpackungen verwendet, die diese gegen Beeinträchtigungen schützen und nach außen hin diskret verbergen, dass darin ein Arzneimittel aufbewahrt wird. Derartige Spender werden beispielsweise in

Trotz der Anordnung der einzelnen Aufnahmemulden in den Blisterpackungen in Spalten und Reihen, die bei verständiger Einnahme der einzelnen Arzneimittelportionen zu einer geordneten Verabreichung führen müsste, hat sich aber herausgestellt, dass ein rigides Einnahmeregime häufig nicht ohne Weiteres eingehalten wird.Despite the arrangement of the individual receiving troughs in the blister packs in columns and rows, which would have to lead to an orderly administration with judicious intake of the individual drug portions, but it has been found that a rigid revenue regimen is often not complied with easily.
Als eine erste Ursache ist identifiziert worden, dass die Portionen nicht der Vorschrift gemäß genommen werden. Zwar muss sich in einer Arzneimittel-Umverpackung immer auch eine Gebrauchsanweisung befinden. Falls die Blisterpackung jedoch isoliert gebraucht wird, steht die Anweisung nicht mehr zur Verfügung. Um dieses Problem zu lösen, ist in
Als eine zweite Ursache ist identifiziert worden, dass ein Anwender in etlichen Fällen mangels ausreichender Konzentration auf die Einnahme nicht weiß, ob eine Arzneimittelportion zu einem bestimmten Fälligkeitszeitpunkt bereits genommen wurde oder nicht. Damit besteht die Gefahr, dass entweder in einem bestimmten Zeitraum eine doppelte Dosis oder überhaupt kein Arzneimittel genommen wird. Damit ist eine Therapie in vielen Fällen ernsthaft gefährdet.As a second cause it has been identified that in some cases a user does not know whether or not a drug portion has already been taken at a certain due date due to lack of sufficient concentration on the intake. There is a risk that either a double dose or no medicine at all will be taken within a certain period of time. This therapy is seriously compromised in many cases.

Der vorliegenden Erfindung liegt von daher die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein Etui zu schaffen, das für die Aufbewahrung einer Blisterpackung geeignet ist und die erforderliche mechanische Stabilität und damit Alltagstauglichkeit aufweist, das ferner gewährleistet, dass die dargereichten Arzneimittelportionen in einem durch eine Gebrauchsanweisung vorgegebenen Rhythmus sicher eingenommen werden, und das darüber hinaus sehr leicht und einfach und damit kostengünstig hergestellt werden kann.The present invention is therefore an object of the invention to provide a case that is suitable for the storage of a blister pack and has the required mechanical stability and thus everyday practicality, which further ensures that the presented drug portions safely taken in a predetermined by an instruction manual rhythm and that moreover can be made very easily and simply and therefore cost-effectively.
Diese Aufgaben werden durch das Etui gemäß Patentanspruch 1 und dessen Verwendung gemäß Patentanspruch 19 gelöst. Bevorzugte Ausführungsformen der Erfindung sind in den Unteransprüchen angegeben.These objects are achieved by the case according to
Das erfindungsgemäße Etui dient zur Aufnahme einer Blisterpackung für Arzneimittel in fester Form, beispielsweise in Form von Pillen, Dragees, Kapseln, Tabletten und anderen festen Darreichungsformen. Als Blisterpackung wird eine Verpackung für feste Arzneimittel bezeichnet, die üblicherweise matrixartig in Spalten und Reihen angeordnete Behältnisse für feste Arzneimittelportionen aufweist, wobei typischerweise jedes dieser Behältnisse eine Arzneimittelportion enthält. Die Packung ist aus mindestens zwei Bestandteilen zusammengefügt, nämlich einem oberen meist durchsichtigen Teil aus tiefgezogener Kunststofffolie, die für die einzelnen Arzneimittelportionen Aufnahmemulden aufweist, und einem unteren Teil, der meist aus Aluminiumfolie besteht. Die Arzneimittelportionen befinden sich nach dem Zusammenfügen der beiden Teile in den die Behältnisse bildenden Aufnahmemulden und können durch Drücken auf die Aufnahmemulden durch die Aluminiumfolie hindurch gestoßen werden, wobei die Aluminiumfolie zerreißt. Beide Seiten können mit geeigneten Aufdrucken versehen werden, wie Hersteller- und Arzneimittelangaben sowie Anwendungshinweisen. Beispiele für Aufdrucke für Anwendungshinweise sind in
Das erfindungsgemäße Etui weist eine erste und eine zweite Etuihälfte auf, die aneinander angelenkt sind.The case according to the invention has a first and a second half of the case, which are articulated to each other.
Die erste Etuihälfte ist als Tasche zur Aufnahme der Blisterpackung ausgebildet und weist ein Außenteil und ein inneres Sichtteil sowie erste Durchbrechungen im Sichtteil und zweite Durchbrechungen im Außenteil auf. Die ersten Durchbrechungen fluchten mit den zweiten Durchbrechungen zumindest teilweise und zwar zumindest dort, wo sich die Behältnisse nach der Aufnahme der Blisterpackung in der Tasche befinden.The first Etuihälfte is designed as a pocket for receiving the blister pack and has an outer part and an inner visible part and first openings in the visible part and second openings in the outer part. The first openings are at least partially aligned with the second openings, at least where the containers are in the pocket after receiving the blister pack.
Die zweite Etuihälfte weist ein erstes Fach zur Aufnahme eines Wochentage anzeigenden ersten Anzeigemittels sowie erste Fenster für die Anzeige der Wochentage in einer inneren Sichtfläche der zweiten Etuihälfte im Bereich des ersten Fachs auf. Die ersten Fenster sind so angeordnet, dass sie den Spalten der Behältnisse einer in der Tasche aufgenommenen Blisterpackung zugeordnet sind.The second half of the case has a first compartment for receiving a weekday display first display means and first windows for displaying the days of the week in an inner visible area of the second half of the case in the area of the first shelf. The first windows are arranged to be associated with the columns of containers of a blister pack received in the pocket.
Durch die gewählte Ausbildung des Etuis kann eine Blisterpackung leicht auf eine Art und Weise untergebracht werden, dass eine eindeutige Zuordnung von angezeigten Wochentagen zu den Spalten von Behältnissen auf der Blisterpackung möglich ist. Indem die Anzeigemittel austauschbar und variabel in einem geeigneten Fach aufgenommen werden, kann die Blisterpackung mit Einnahmehinweisen fallbezogen eingesetzt werden, d.h. die erste zu nehmende Arzneimittelportion kann mit der zugehörigen Zeitangabe versehen werden, so dass daneben liegende Portionen automatisch folgenden Einnahmezeitpunkten zugeordnet werden.Due to the selected design of the case, a blister pack can be easily accommodated in a manner that a clear assignment of displayed days of the week to the columns of containers on the blister pack is possible. By doing the display means are interchangeably and variably received in a suitable tray, the blister pack can be used case-related with intake instructions, ie the first to be taken portion of medication can be provided with the associated time, so that adjacent portions are automatically assigned to the following intake times.
Gleichzeitig ist der Aufbau des Etuis denkbar einfach, so dass dieses kostengünstig herstellbar ist: Beispielsweise kann das Etui aus Karton oder Kunststoff hergestellt werden. Es ist lediglich notwendig, eine entsprechende Tasche zur Aufnahme der Blisterpackung sowie ein erstes Fach für die Aufnahme des ersten Anzeigemittels vorzusehen. Wird das Etui beispielsweise aus Karton hergestellt, so kann dies durch einfaches Ausstanzen, Falzen und Verkleben der einzelnen Bestandteile in geeigneter Form geschehen. Dies ist mechanisiert auf eine äußerst kostengünstige Art und Weise möglich. Trotz der einfachen und damit kostengünstigen Herstellbarkeit erfüllt das erfindungsgemäße Etui die geforderte Funktionalität in einer sicheren Art und Weise.At the same time, the structure of the case is very simple, so that it is inexpensive to produce: For example, the case can be made of cardboard or plastic. It is only necessary to provide a corresponding pocket for receiving the blister pack and a first compartment for receiving the first display means. If the case is made of cardboard, for example, this can be done by simply punching, folding and gluing the individual components in a suitable form. This is possible mechanized in a very cost effective manner. Despite the simple and therefore inexpensive manufacturability, the case according to the invention fulfills the required functionality in a secure manner.
Ferner weist die zweite Etuihälfte ein zweites Fach sowie mindestens ein zweites Fenster im Bereich des zweiten Fachs auf. Das zweite Fach dient zur Aufnahme eines Wochentagspaare anzeigenden zweiten Anzeigemittels, etwa zur Anzeige einer Arzneimittel-Einnahmeunterbrechung. Das mindestens eine zweite Fenster dient zur Anzeige dieser Wochentagspaare. Das Wochentagspaar bezeichnet zum einen den Wochentag, an dem die letzte Arzneimittelportion der letzten Einnahmephase eingenommen wurde, und zum anderen den Wochentag, an dem die erste Arzneimittelportion der nächsten Einnahmephase genommen werden soll.Furthermore, the second half of the case has a second compartment and at least one second window in the region of the second compartment. The second compartment serves to receive a second display means indicating a day of the week pair, for example for displaying a drug intake interruption. The at least one second window is used to display these weekday pairs. The weekday pair indicates, on the one hand, the day of the week on which the last medication portion of the last intake phase was taken and, on the other hand, the day of the week on which the first medication portion of the next intake phase is to be taken.
Wird das in der Blisterpackung enthaltene Arzneimittel beispielsweise zur Kontrazeption angewendet, so sind die Arzneimittelportionen während einer Einnahmephase kontinuierlich etwa im 24-stündigen Rhythmus einzunehmen. Nach typischerweise 21 Tagen wird die Arzneimitteleinnahme abgesetzt. Daran schließt sich ein einnahmefreier (Unterbrechungs-)Zeitraum an. Die zweiten Anzeigemittel dienen dazu, das Ende des einnahmefreien Zeitraumes anzuzeigen, um sicherzustellen, dass die erste Arzneimittelportion in der nächsten Einnahmephase rechtzeitig wieder eingenommen wird. Beispielsweise kann der einnahmefreie Zeitraum 7 Tage betragen. Die zweiten Anzeigemittel zeigen Wochentagspaare an, also im genannten Falle den Wochentag der letzten Einnahme in einer Einnahmephase vor der einnahmefreien Phase und der Wochentag, der 7 Tage nach dem erstgenannten Wochentag liegt. Wird also als erster Wochentag des Wochentagspaares der Wochentag der letzten Einnahme eingestellt, so wird automatisch als zweiter Wochentag des Wochentagspaares der Wochentag der ersten Einnahme der nächsten Einnahmephase angezeigt. Damit ist eine sichere erneute Einnahme nach der Einnahmeunterbrechung gewährleistet. Anstelle der zuvor genannten Zeiträume von 21 Einnahme- und 7 Unterbrechungstagen können bei bestimmten Arzneimitteln für die Kontrazeption auch andere Zeiträume vorgegeben werden, beispielsweise eine Einnahmephase, die mindestens 24 Tage und höchstens 120 Tage andauert, und eine Unterbrechungsphase, die in diesem Falle beispielsweise 4 Tage andauert.If the medicament contained in the blister pack is used for contraception, for example, the medicament portions are to be continuously taken approximately in a 24-hour rhythm during an intake phase. After typically 21 days, the drug intake is discontinued. This is followed by an income-free (interruption) period. The second display means serve to indicate the end of the ingestion-free period of time to ensure that the first medication portion in the next intake phase is taken in time. For example, the revenue-free period can be 7 days. The second display means indicate weekday pairs, so in the said case the day of the week of the last intake in a revenue phase before the revenue-free phase and the day of the week, which is 7 days after the first-mentioned day of the week. Thus, if the weekday of the last intake is set as the first day of the weekday pair, the weekday of the first intake of the next intake phase is automatically displayed as the second day of the weekday pair. This ensures a safe re-intake after the loss of income. Instead of the abovementioned periods of 21 days of intake and 7 days of interruption, certain periods of contraception may be prescribed for certain medicinal products, for example a taking phase lasting at least 24 days and not more than 120 days, and an interruption period of 4 days in this case ongoing.
Falls der Gesamtzeitraum, der sich aus dem Zeitraum der Einnahmephase und dem Zeitraum der sich daran anschließenden einnahmefreien Phase durch Addition ergibt, nicht einem Vielfachen eines 7-Tages-Rhythmus' entspricht, beginnt die nächste Einnahmephase an einem anderen Wochentag als die letzte Einnahmephase. Aus diesem Grunde muss das erste Anzeigemittel dann bei Beginn der nächsten Einnahmephase so umgestellt werden, dass der erste angezeigte Wochentag dem Wochentag des angezeigten Wochentagspaares des zweiten Anzeigemittels entspricht, der den ersten Einnahmetag der nächsten Einnahmephase anzeigt. Falls der Gesamtzeitraum dagegen eine Anzahl von Tagen umfasst, die durch 7 teilbar ist, ist der Wochentag des ersten Einnahmetages der nächsten Einnahmephase identisch mit dem Wochentag des ersten Einnahmetages der letzten Einnahmephase. In diesem Falle kann das erste Anzeigemittel ohne Umstellung weiter verwendet werden.If the total period resulting from the period of the Ingestion Phase and the subsequent Ingested Phase by Addition does not equal a multiple of a 7-Day Cycle, the next Ingestion Phase will begin on a different day of the week than the last Ingestion Phase. For this reason, the first display means must then be switched at the beginning of the next intake phase so that the first displayed day of the week corresponds to the day of the weekday pair displayed the second display means indicating the first intake day of the next intake phase. In contrast, if the total period includes a number of days divisible by 7, the day of the week of the first intake day of the next intake phase is identical to the day of the week of the first intake day of the last intake phase. In this case, the first display means can continue to be used without conversion.
In einer Weiterbildung der Erfindung ist das erste Fach zum Einschieben des ersten Anzeigemittels ausgebildet und weist einen Schlitz auf. Alternativ könnte das erste Fach auch aufklappbar sein und das erste Anzeigemittel im aufgeklappten Zustand aufnehmen. Allerdings kann ein Aufbau, bei dem das Anzeigemittel in das Fach eingeschoben wird, sehr leicht realisiert werden: Hierzu sind lediglich zwei Lagen eines geeigneten Materials erforderlich, die unter Bildung eines Faches randseitig unlösbar miteinander verbunden werden und nur zu einer Seite einen Schlitz bilden, durch den das Anzeigemittel hindurch in das Fach geschoben werden kann.In a further development of the invention, the first compartment is designed for insertion of the first display means and has a slot. Alternatively, the first compartment could also be hinged and record the first display means in the unfolded state. However, a structure in which the display means is inserted into the tray is, very easy to be realized: For this purpose, only two layers of a suitable material are required, which are bound together to form a compartment inextricably linked edge and form only one side of a slot through which the display means can be pushed into the tray.
Ferner kann der Schlitz zur Anlenkung zwischen der ersten und der zweiten Etuihälfte hin offen sein. Dies ermöglicht eine Anordnung der ersten Fenster für das erste Anzeigemittel in geringer Entfernung zu der Blisterpackung, ohne dass das Anzeigemittel andernfalls tief in das Fach hinein geschoben werden müsste, etwa vom gegenüberliegenden Rand aus. In letzterem Falle wäre die Bedienung problematisch, weil ein Austausch und erneutes Einstellen der Wochentage erschwert wäre. Durch die geringe Entfernung zwischen den Fenstern und der Blisterpackung ist eine schnelle und sichere Zuordnung der Fenster zu den jeweiligen Spalten möglich. Außerdem wird gewährleistet, dass das Anzeigemittel nicht ohne weiteres aus dem Etui heraus rutschen und damit verloren gehen kann. Selbst wenn das Anzeigemittel nämlich in dem Fach nicht ausreichend fest gehalten würde, könnte es in dieser Anordnung des Schlitzes nicht aus dem Fach herausfallen.Further, the slot may be open for articulation between the first and second half of the case. This allows an arrangement of the first windows for the first display means at a short distance from the blister pack, without the display means otherwise having to be pushed deep into the compartment, say from the opposite edge. In the latter case, the operation would be problematic, because an exchange and resetting the days of the week would be difficult. Due to the small distance between the windows and the blister pack, a fast and reliable allocation of the windows to the respective columns is possible. In addition, it is ensured that the display means can not easily slip out of the case and thus lost. Namely, even if the display means would not be kept sufficiently strong in the tray, it could not fall out of the tray in this arrangement of the slot.
In einer weiteren Ausführungsform der Erfindung befindet sich das mindestens eine zweite Fenster in der inneren Sichtfläche der zweiten Etuihälfte. Da bereits die ersten Fenster für das erste Anzeigemittel in der inneren Sichtfläche der zweiten Etuihälfte angeordnet sind, ist ein Überblick über die Einnahmesituation dadurch einfach durch Aufklappen des Etuis möglich. Wäre das zweite Fenster an der Außenseite der zweiten Etuihälfte angeordnet, wäre eine Orientierung auf beiden Seiten erforderlich.In a further embodiment of the invention, the at least one second window is located in the inner visible surface of the second half of the case. Since the first window for the first display means are already arranged in the inner visible surface of the second half of the case, an overview of the revenue situation is possible by simply opening the case. If the second window were located on the outside of the second half of the case, orientation on both sides would be required.
In noch einer weiteren Ausführungsform der Erfindung sind zwei zweite Fenster vorgesehen, in denen jeweils einer der Wochentage des Wochentagspaares sichtbar ist. Diese Fenster sind in einem geeigneten Abstand voneinander vorgesehen. Sind alle Wochentage auf dem zweiten Anzeigemittel dargestellt und kann jeweils ein Wochentagspaar den beiden zweiten Fenstern zugeordnet werden, so erscheint das eingestellte Wochentagspaar automatisch, wenn die beiden zweiten Fenster entsprechend zueinander beabstandet sind. Mit dieser Ausführungsform wird die Möglichkeit eröffnet, dass ein Wochentagsstreifen für die Anzeige der Wochentagspaare verwendet wird, der sonst auch als erstes Anzeigemittel eingesetzt wird. Es sind also nicht verschiedene erste und zweite Anzeigemittel notwendig: Indem in dieser Ausführungsform die zweiten Fenster nämlich in dem gewünschten Tagesabstand, beispielsweise 5-Tagesabstand, in die innere Sichtfläche eingebracht werden, wird das gewünschte Wochentagspaar automatisch angezeigt. Alternativ können die Wochentagspaare auf dem Anzeigemittel natürlich auch paarweise übereinander oder nebeneinander dargestellt sein, so dass die Paare dann in einem einzigen Fenster oder in zwei unmittelbar benachbarten, beispielsweise nebeneinander oder übereinander, angeordneten Fenstern erscheinen.In yet another embodiment of the invention, two second windows are provided in each of which one of the weekdays of the weekday pair is visible. These windows are provided at a suitable distance from each other. If all days of the week are shown on the second display means and if one weekday pair can be assigned to the two second windows, the set weekday pair automatically appears if the two second windows are spaced apart from one another. This embodiment opens up the possibility that a weekday strip is used for the display of the weekday pairs, which is otherwise used as the first display means. Thus, different first and second display means are not necessary. In this embodiment, since the second windows are introduced into the inner viewing area at the desired daily distance, for example 5-day intervals, the desired weekday pair is automatically displayed. Alternatively, the weekday pairs on the display means may of course also be shown in pairs one above the other or side by side, so that the pairs then appear in a single window or in two immediately adjacent, for example, side by side or one above the other, arranged windows.
Für den Fall, dass die einnahmefreie Phase unterschiedlich lange andauern kann, müssen Maßnahmen vorgesehen werden, um die Wochentagspaare in den zweiten Fenstern auch unter diesen Bedingungen automatisch anzeigen zu können. Hierzu können beispielsweise Streifen als zweite Anzeigemittel mit unterschiedlichen Abständen der dargestellten Wochentage verwendet werden, so dass jeweils unterschiedliche Tagesabstände in zwei zueinander beabstandeten zweiten Fenstern angezeigt werden. Falls zweite Anzeigemittel vorgesehen werden, auf denen die Wochentagspaare unmittelbar nebeneinander oder übereinander angezeigt werden, sind auf unterschiedlichen Anzeigemitteln Wochentagspaare dargestellt, die jeweils eine bestimmte Dauer einer einnahmefreien Phase anzeigen können.In the event that the ingestion-free phase can last for different lengths, measures must be provided in order to be able to automatically display the weekday pairs in the second windows even under these conditions. For this example, strips can be used as a second display means with different distances of the weekdays shown, so that each different day intervals are displayed in two spaced-apart second windows. If second display means are provided on which the weekday pairs are displayed directly adjacent to one another or one above the other, weekday pairs are shown on different display means, each of which can indicate a certain period of a phase free of taking.
Ebenso wie das erste Fach zum Einschieben des ersten Anzeigemittels ausgebildet sein kann, kann auch das zweite Fach zum Einschieben des zweiten Anzeigemittels ausgebildet sein, so dass eine einfache Herstellung möglich wird. Die Vorteile gegenüber einer aufklappbaren Ausführungsform sind bereits hinsichtlich des ersten Faches beschrieben worden. Das zweite Fach weist eine Einführöffnung für das zweite Anzeigemittel auf. Die Einführöffnung kann insbesondere zu einem Außenrand der zweiten Etuihälfte hin offen sein. Dadurch wird eine einfache Erreichbarkeit dieses Faches zum Einschieben bzw. Entnehmen des Anzeigemittels gewährleistet. Zur weiteren Vereinfachung der Handhabung kann die Einführöffnung ferner eine Griffaussparung aufweisen. Die ersten und zweiten Anzeigemittel können vorzugsweise in Form von Streifen ausgebildet sein, nämlich in Form eines Wochentagsstreifen bzw. eines Hinweisstreifens für die Wochentagspaare. Damit wird eine einfache Herstellbarkeit gewährleistet. Die Streifen können beispielsweise aus Papier, Karton, Kunststoff oder Metall sowie aus Composite- (gefüllten, beispielsweise mit zur Verstärkung dienenden Verstärkungsstoffen, insbesondere Fasern, gefüllten) Materialien von Papier, Karton, Kunststoff, Metall untereinander oder mit anderen Materialien oder auch aus Laminaten dieser Materialien bestehen.As well as the first compartment may be designed for insertion of the first display means, and the second compartment for inserting the second display means may be formed so that a simple production is possible. The advantages over a hinged embodiment have already been described with respect to the first compartment. The second compartment has an insertion opening for the second display means. The insertion opening may in particular be open towards an outer edge of the second half of the housing. This ensures easy accessibility of this compartment for insertion or removal of the display means. To further simplify handling, the insertion opening may further comprise a handle recess. The first and second display means may preferably be in the form of strips, namely in the form of a weekday strip or a strip of evidence for the weekday pairs. This ensures easy manufacturability. The strips can be made, for example, from paper, cardboard, plastic or metal and from composite (filled, for example, with reinforcement reinforcing materials, in particular fibers filled) materials of paper, cardboard, plastic, metal with each other or with other materials or laminates of these Materials exist.
Eine wesentliche Vereinfachung in der Anwendung wird durch Bilden von Einfalzungen in den Streifen erreicht, so dass diese in Felder aufgeteilt werden, auf denen jeweils die Wochentage bzw. Wochentagspaare angezeigt sind. Dadurch können die Streifen je nach Bedarf auf den gewünschten Wochentag eingestellt werden. Der als erstes Anzeigemittel verwendete Streifen kann beispielsweise eine Wochentagsserie von 13 Tagen, etwa beginnend von So (Sonntag) über Mo, Di, Mi, Do, Fr, Sa, So, Mo, Di, Mi, Do bis Fr, umfassen, so dass alle denkbaren Wochentagsserien einer Woche, beginnend mit einem beliebigen Wochentag, durch Falzen an den Einfalzungen gebildet werden können. Ein derartig gefalzter Wochentagsstreifen kann dann in das erste Fach eingeschoben werden und zeigt die Einnahmetage an, beginnend mit dem gewählten ersten Wochentag. Der als zweites Anzeigemittel gewählte Hinweisstreifen kann wie der vorgenannte Wochentagsstreifen gebildet sein, wobei bei der Bildung des Wochentagspaares dann berücksichtigt werden muss, welcher Unterbrechungszeitraum angezeigt werden soll.A significant simplification in the application is achieved by forming infillings in the strips so that they are divided into fields, on each of which the weekdays and weekday pairs are displayed. This allows the strips to be set to the desired day of the week as needed. The strip used as the first display means may comprise, for example, a weekday series of 13 days starting from Sun (Sunday) through Mon, Tue, Wed, Thu, Fri, Sat, Sun, Mon, Tue, Wed, Thu to Fri such that all conceivable weekday series of a week, starting with any day of the week, can be formed by folding at the folds. Such a folded weekday strip can then be inserted into the first compartment and displays the intake days, starting with the selected first day of the week. The indicator strip selected as the second display means can be formed like the aforementioned weekday strip, whereby in the formation of the weekday pair then it has to be taken into account which interruption period is to be displayed.
Zur leichteren Handhabung des ersten Anzeigemittels kann dieses an einem der Längsränder eine Haltelasche aufweisen. Dadurch kann beispielsweise ein Streifen einfacher in das erste Fach eingeschoben und aus diesem wieder herausgenommen werden.For easier handling of the first display means this can have a retaining tab on one of the longitudinal edges. As a result, for example, a strip can be more easily inserted into the first compartment and removed from it again.
Die Blisterpackung wird von der Tasche in der ersten Etuihälfte aufgenommen. Ebenso wie das erste und das zweite Fach kann auch die Tasche so ausgebildet sein, dass die Blisterpackung in diese einschiebbar ist. Hierzu weist die Tasche eine Einstecköffnung auf. Die Einstecköffnung an der Tasche kann ebenso wie das erste Fach zur Anlenkung zwischen der ersten und der zweiten Etuihälfte hin offen sein. Die sich aus diesen Ausführungsformen ergebenden Vorteile sind dieselben wie im Falle der Einschubfächer.The blister pack is picked up from the bag in the first half of the case. Like the first and the second compartment, the bag can also be designed in such a way that the blister pack can be inserted into it. For this purpose, the pocket has an insertion opening. The insertion opening on the bag can as well as the first compartment for articulation be open between the first and the second half. The advantages resulting from these embodiments are the same as in the case of the compartments.
Die Tasche ist vorzugsweise so ausgebildet, dass die davon aufgenommene Packung in der Tasche unverrückbar einrastet. Dies erleichtert die Handhabbarkeit in erheblicher Weise. Insbesondere wird dadurch verhindert, dass die Blisterpackung in der Tasche so verrutscht, dass die Zuordnung zwischen den in den ersten Fenstern angezeigten Wochentagen und den Behältnissen der Blisterpackung verloren geht. Dies würde die Sicherheit der Einnahme erheblich beeinträchtigen.The bag is preferably designed so that the pack received by it snaps into the pocket immovable. This facilitates the handling in a significant way. In particular, this prevents the blister pack in the pocket from slipping so that the association between the days of the week displayed in the first windows and the blister pack containers is lost. This would significantly affect the safety of the intake.
Um ferner eine ausreichende Stabilität des Etuis auch dann noch zu erhalten, wenn dieses auch nach mehrfachem Austausch verbrauchter Blisterpackungen verwendet wird, können die ersten und/oder zweiten Durchbrechungen Langlöcher sein. Falls das Etui und damit die Tasche aus relativ stabilem Material, etwa dickem Karton oder stabilem Kunststoff, hergestellt ist und der Kreisdurchmesser der Durchbrechungen so klein wäre, dass die Behältnisse der Blisterpackung gerade noch in diese hineinragen könnten, wäre ein Einschieben der Blisterpackung schwierig, wenn die Tasche gleichzeitig so eng ausgelegt ist, dass die Blisterpackung am Ort möglichst nicht mehr verschiebbar sein soll. Um die Blisterpackung selbst in einem derartigen Falle einigermaßen einfach in die Tasche einschieben zu können, können zumindest die Durchbrechungen im inneren Sichtteil als Langlöcher ausgeführt werden, durch die die Behältnisse der Blisterpackung hindurchragen sollen. Damit wird die Blisterpackung beim Einschieben in die Tasche gleichsam geführt, weil die Behältnisse in die Langlöcher hineingleiten. Hierzu erstrecken sich die Langlöcher vorzugsweise entlang den Spalten der Behältnisse.Furthermore, in order to still obtain a sufficient stability of the case, even if it is used even after repeated replacement of used blister packs, the first and / or second openings may be elongated holes. If the case and thus the bag made of relatively stable material, such as thick cardboard or rigid plastic, and the circular diameter of the openings would be so small that the containers of the blister pack could just protrude into this, insertion of the blister pack would be difficult if the bag is at the same time designed so narrow that the blister pack should not be displaced at the location as possible. In order to be able to insert the blister pack reasonably easily into the pocket even in such a case, at least the perforations in the inner visible part can be designed as elongated holes through which the containers of the blister pack are intended to protrude. Thus, the blister pack is guided when inserted into the bag as it were, because the containers slide into the slots. For this purpose, the slots preferably extend along the columns of the containers.
Damit die Blisterpackung beim Einschieben in die Tasche ferner unverrückbar einrastet, sind die Behältnisse vorzugsweise erhabene Kuppeln, die nach Aufnahme der Blisterpackung in der Tasche in die Langlöcher hinein- oder durch sie hindurchragen, und sind die Langlöcher genauso lang wie die Spalten der Behältnisse auf der Blisterpackung. Nach dem Einschieben der Packung ragen alle Behältnisse in die Langlöcher hinein. Da wegen der Gleichheit der Längen der Langlöcher und der Spalten der Behältnisse kein Spiel mehr besteht, sitzt die Packung in der Tasche unverrückbar fest.Thus, the blister pack when inserted into the pocket also immovably locks, the containers are preferably raised domes, which penetrate into the slots after receiving the blister pack in the slots or through them, and the slots are the same length as the columns of the containers on the blister pack. After inserting the pack, all containers protrude into the oblong holes. Since there is no longer a game because of the equality of the lengths of the slots and the columns of the containers, the pack sits immovably firmly in the bag.
Das Etui kann aus beliebigen Materialen bestehen, beispielsweise aus Papier, Karton, Kunststoff oder Metall sowie aus Composite-Materialien von Papier, Karton, Kunststoff, Metall untereinander oder mit anderen Materialien oder auch aus Laminaten dieser Materialien.The case can be made of any material, such as paper, cardboard, plastic or metal and composite materials of paper, cardboard, plastic, metal with each other or with other materials or laminates of these materials.
Zum Schutz des Etuis sowie zur gefälligen und gegebenenfalls diskreten Gestaltung kann das Etui zusätzlich in einen Schuber eingeschoben werden, der aus einem der vorgenannten Materialien bestehen kann.To protect the case as well as pleasing and possibly discreet design, the case can be additionally inserted into a slipcase, which may consist of one of the aforementioned materials.

Die erste Etuihälfte 2 ist durch ein inneres Sichtteil 4 und ein Außenteil 5 gebildet. Beide Teile sind beispielsweise durch randseitiges Kleben unlösbar miteinander verbunden. Zur Anlenkung 10 hin öffnet sich eine Einstecköffnung 6 zwischen dem inneren Sichtteil und dem Außenteil und bildet den Zugang zu einer Tasche für eine Blisterpackung. Die Packung weist erhabene Behältnisse 60 auf, die Tabletten oder andere feste Darreichungsformen eines Arzneimittels enthalten. Die Blisterpackung kann über die Einstecköffnung in den die Tasche bildenden Zwischenraum zwischen dem inneren Sichtteil und dem Außenteil eingeschoben werden. Dabei gleiten die Behältnisse der Blisterpackung in die in das innere Sichtteil eingebrachten Langlöcher 7 ein. Die Langlöcher sind in einem Rastermaß im inneren Sichtteil entsprechend den Spalten 61 a, 61 b, 61 c, 61d, 61e, 61f, 61g, in die die Behältnisse auf der Blisterpackung aufgenommen sind, gebildet, so dass alle Behältnisse passgenau in diese Löcher einrasten können. Die Blisterpackung weist sieben Spalten auf, die den sieben Wochentagen entsprechen. Da die Blisterpackung 24 Behältnisse enthält, befinden sich in drei der sieben Langlöcher entsprechend den Spalten 61 a, 61 b, 61 c jeweils vier Behältnisse und in vier Langlöchern entsprechend den Spalten 61 d, 61 e, 61f, 61 g jeweils drei Behältnisse. Die Länge der Langlöcher ist entsprechend angepasst. In das Außenteil sind ferner Löcher eingebracht (nicht dargestellt), die sich an den Stellen befinden, an denen die Behältnisse der Blisterpackung platziert sind. Somit kann eine sich in einem Behältnis befindende Tablette durch Aufdrücken auf das Behältnis durch eine untere Aluminiumfolie, die das Behältnis unten abschließt, und durch diese unteren Löcher herausgedrückt werden.The first half-
