Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a tubular container, closed at its upper part by closure means of the closable cap type including hinge, provided with a compensation device.
  • the invention relates more particularly to a container of this type intended in particular to package products for pharmaceutical, cosmetic, food, veterinary, diagnostic or phytosanitary purposes, which may be in various forms such as, for example, pellets, tablets, tablets, tablets.
  • packaged products can be stacked axially inside the tubular container, the internal dimensions of the latter corresponding substantially to the external dimensions of the packaged products or be loose within said container.
  • the packaged products mentioned above often have a porous and friable structure, especially when it comes to effervescent tablets, which makes them particularly fragile to shocks and abrasion. This mechanical deterioration is often caused during the handling and transportation of these packaged products in tubes themselves stored in crates or boxes. cartons, during which shocks or shocks are inevitable.
  • such compensation devices make it possible to compensate for differences in the thickness dimension of the packaged unit products, or to pack in one and the same container products of different thicknesses, at the origin of an unavoidable clearance existing between the bottom shutter means and the upper face of the stack of products packaged in the container. Any freedom of movement within such a space is a possible source of deterioration of said packaged products.
  • a first document discloses various embodiments of a desiccant container for storing tablets, such as pharmaceutical type.
  • This container comprises in its bottom and / or in its closure means, cap type connected to said container by a hinge, an elastic spring constituted by helical strands intercrossed or not, said spring being made of desiccant polymer material and on which support stacked packaged products.
  • This first document has a resilient spring type compensation device, the latter being fixed either on the bottom of the container or on the inner surface of its overmolding closure means, which generates a certain cohesion between materials.
  • a second document discloses a tablet dispensing container, whose body is closed at its lower end by an attached base on which is fixed a spring provided with a tray, the stack of stored tablets bearing on said tray.
  • a retaining element at the upper end of the container allows a unit extraction of the tablet located on the top of the stack by a lateral opening arranged on the upper part of the container.
  • This document thus proposes a compensation device in the form of a spring which also contributes to the extraction of the tablets, because of the expansion of said spring and which allows a lateral extraction of the tablet located on the top of the stack.
  • This compensation device consists of two different parts, namely a spring and a plate.
  • a third document the document EP 1 602 596 A2 , much like the document US 1,671,285 , also discloses a dispensing container for effervescent tablets which rest stacked axially on a perforated disc associated with a spring, the latter being affixed to the perforated upper face of a compartment arranged at the bottom of the container, and in which is inserted a desiccant.
  • the container described in this document further comprises a screw cap provided with a seal ensuring an airtight seal.
  • a storage compartment of a limited number of tablets also provided with a dehydrating means, and closed by a plug at one of its ends, can be screwed by its other end to the lower base of the container.
  • This document presents the same compensation device as the document US 1,671,285 , that is to say a spring device, allowing the extraction of tablets, with further improvements such as the presence of a desiccant and an additional storage compartment.
  • a fourth document the document FR 2,694,270 describes a packaging tube, in particular for pharmaceutical products such as tablets, closed by a stopper, this tube comprising a suspended basket for receiving said tablets, and thanks to which they are protected against shocks.
  • Elastic means are provided so as to automatically compensate for the axial space existing between the upper face of the upper tablet and the inner face vis-à-vis the plug.
  • These same elastic means can also be arranged symmetrically in the bottom of the suspended basket.
  • a desiccant may further be inserted at the bottom of the tube.
  • This document describes a packaging tube equipped with a compensation device whose design of the suspended basket seems complex from the point of view of molding.
  • the compensation devices are often of complex design as to their shape.
  • they are generally made to adapt in a very specific manner to the dimensions of a given container, or if necessary a given plug, in which they must be inserted.
  • the production of a compensation device appears to depend on the characteristics, in particular on the dimensions, of the container or plug in which it is to be inserted, and generates high manufacturing costs because only one compensation device can be used for only one given container; these costs are added to those of the development of complex forms of the compensation device.
  • the tubular container according to the invention is intended for the packaging of solid products, stored inside said container in the form of an axial stack or in bulk.
  • the container according to the invention can be used for the packaging of products for use pharmaceutical, cosmetic, food, veterinary, diagnostic or phytosanitary.
