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.
- the internal dimensions of the tubular container substantially correspond to the external dimensions of said packaged products.
- Axial stacking of packaged products is preferred over bulk packing.
- the tubular container may be of polygonal, elliptical, circular section, and is preferably of circular section.
- Such packaged unit products such as tablets and tablets can be friable, so that their holding in position is essential in order to avoid any risk of deterioration by mechanical effect, in particular shock or abrasion.
- the tubular container is closed at its upper part by a closure means of closable cap type, including hinged, so that when said container is filled or almost filled, the compensation device which is provided with the container, exerts its compensation action on the packaged products and keeps them in position, thus avoiding any risk of deterioration.
- the compensation means and the fixing means are secured to one another.
- the fixing means is secured to the compensation means by gluing, welding, co-injection or injection leading to a one-piece assembly.
- the compensation means and the fixing means are coaxial.
- the compensation means The compensation means
- the compensation means of the compensation device is hollow and of apparent cylindrical, conical, frustoconical, polyhedral, truncated polyhedral form, composed of a large base and a small base parallel to the large base. Regardless, the small base or the large base is in contact with the packaged products, the large base or the small base then being in contact with the bottom of the container.
- the fastening means is always integral with the base in contact with the bottom of the container, whether the large base or the small base.
- These two bases are coaxial and are connected by at least one deformable connecting means under the effect of a mechanical pressure, and which has the ability to recover its initial shape when said pressure is removed.
- the large base and the small base of the compensation means may be of different shapes or not, but in all cases these different forms must be insertable into the tubular container and adapted to the section of said container.
- said container section is polygonal, elliptical or circular.
- the compensation means is of sufficient height so that its mechanical compensation action can actually be exercised.
- the compensation means exerts its compensation action on the packaged products, so that they are maintained in position inside said container.
- the apparent shape of the compensation means that is to say the imaginary volume in which said compensation means is contained, that is to say its steric hindrance, can be cylindrical, conical, frustoconical, polyhedral or truncated polyhedral .
- the compensating means when contained in a cylindrical, conical, frustoconical, polyhedral or truncated polyhedral fictitious volume may comprise a plurality of deformable connecting means of 2, 3, 4 or more and arranged around the axis of symmetry of the means of compensation.
- the fictitious volume is truncated polyhedral or polyhedral, one of the edges is constituted by the at least one real deformable connecting means, connecting the large base to the small base, the other edges being fictitious.
- the fictitious volume when it is truncated polyhedral or polyhedral, it comprises at least three lateral surfaces whose three real edges are constituted by three deformable connecting means. It is the same for 4 faces, 5 faces, 6 faces.
- the at least one deformable connecting means is formed by at least two propellers
- said propellers are in opposite or opposite directions and regularly distributed symmetrically with respect to the axis of symmetry of the compensation means.
- the compensation means comprises three helices
- these helices may be in the same direction, or two helices may be in the same direction and the third helix in the other direction.
- This at least one helix is connected, by its lower end, to one of the bases, which is positioned for example in the bottom of the container.
- This at least one helix is also connected, by its upper end, at the other base for example in physical contact with the packaged product.
- the section of this at least one helix may be circular or polygonal.
- helix may be considered, such as, for example, propellers against rotation direction or shape not strictly conical but slightly rhomboid.
- the at least one deformable connecting means is formed by at least two tabs
- said tabs are distributed symmetrically with respect to the axis of symmetry of the compensation means.
- This at least one tongue is connected, by its lower end to one of the bases, for example the large base, which is positioned for example at the bottom of the container, and by its upper end to the other base in physical contact with the conditioned product.
- Said compensation means thus ensures, by its ability to be compressed and by its spring effect, the holding in position of the packaged products.
- the section of the tongues is sufficiently thin, whether circular or polygonal, so that said tongues can deform in a reversible manner, under the effect of the pressure exerted on them during the closure of the filled container.
- the spring effect remains intact in time, insofar as the deformations remain in the range of the reversible elastic deformations and that there is no creep of the constituent materials of the compensation means.
- the pressure exerted on the stack of products packaged by the compensation means remains unchanged.
- the compensation means with its deformable conical or polyhedral apparent shape, but with initial shape memory, still retains its function of spring compensator.
- the compensation device also comprises a fixing means.
- the fixing means of the shape memory compensating device and having an elastic deformation capacity, exerts a friction force perpendicular to the inner side wall of the container is to this end formed of mechanical elements, said mechanical elements can be in particular selected from the group consisting of fins, panels, blades.
- the fixing means comprises at least three mechanical elements.
- the at least three mechanical elements of the fastening means are made integral with the compensation means tangentially to the periphery of the base in contact with the bottom of the container of said compensation means and distributed symmetrically with respect to the axis of symmetry of the compensation device, such that all of the frictional forces they generate with the inner side wall of the container make integral the compensation device of the tubular container.
- the at least three mechanical elements of the fastening means, at rest and before their insertion into the container, define by their non-integral end of the compensation means, an apparent contour whose largest dimension, defined by the largest distance between two points in opposition to said contour, is between 1.1 and 2.0 times the largest dimension measured in the sectional plane perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of symmetry of the container.
- the largest apparent dimension is the diameter
- the at least three mechanical elements of the fastening means, at rest and before their insertion into the container, define by their non-integral end of the compensation means, an apparent outline whose most large dimension, defined by the largest distance between two points in opposition to said contour, is preferably between 1.2 and 1.6 times the largest dimension measured in the section plane perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of symmetry of the container .
- the at least three mechanical elements of the fastening means have a height, when the compensation device is inserted into the container, at most equal to 0.5 times the height of the compensation means.
- the at least three mechanical elements of the fastening means are thin walls forming flat or curved surfaces.
- the at least three elastic mechanical elements redeployed to be in surface-to-surface contact with the inner side wall of the container, exerts frictional forces on said internal side wall, which ensures a holding position of said compensation device in the tubular container.
- the at least three mechanical elements of the fixing means may optionally each comprise a protuberance in the form of segment of rods fitting into a corresponding groove positioned on the inner surface of the container. This combination of segments of rushes and groove makes it possible to fix even more definitively the compensation device inserted in the container.
- the compensation device can be introduced before the packaged products in the container, or in conjunction with the packaged products.
- this compensation device can adapt to tubular containers of similar dimensions and diameters when the container is of circular section. .
- this compensation device can be integrated with different containers, offering a flexibility of use, and to get rid of the constraint of developing a specific compensation device for each type of container.
- the container, the sealing means and the compensation device may be made from identical or different polymers.
- the polymers used are generally chosen from the group formed by homo and / or copolymeric polyolefins such as polyethylenes, polypropylenes and ethylene / propylene copolymers used alone or in a mixture, formulated or not.

- the desiccant is the desiccant
- the tubular container according to the invention optionally comprises a desiccant means which can be of type reported or of the desiccant liner type.
- the compensation device may also constitute a desiccant means of the tubular container, if it is manufactured from a composition comprising at least one thermoplastic or thermosetting plastic material, and at least one desiccant material.
- the desiccant means When the desiccant means is of type reported, the desiccant is placed in a suitable housing, located in the cap, and / or on the bottom of the tubular container, and / or integrated in the compensation device, or an integral part of said device, said housing being closed by a sealing means not sealed to ambient humidity, for example a porous cardboard membrane, to ensure the rapid drying of the moisture-sensitive products and packaged in the container tubular.
- a sealing means not sealed to ambient humidity for example a porous cardboard membrane
- the dehydrating agent used in the container is selected from the group consisting of silica gels, molecular sieves or other desiccants, in powder form or deposited on a powdery support.
- the desiccant may also be a capsule contained in said housing and made of a desiccant polymer material containing or not desiccant fillers.
- the compensation device When a desiccant is positioned in a housing located on the bottom of the tubular container, the compensation device is positioned in abutment on the non-moisture-tight membrane closing the housing.
- the desiccant means When the desiccant means is of liner type, it then has a shape such that it fits inside the tubular container.
- This shape is positioned coaxially with respect to the container, adjusted very precisely relative to the inner surface of said container, and can slide freely relative thereto, or be forced slightly forcibly.
- This shape can also come in slight withdrawal from the inner surface of the tubular container, the adjustment on the container then being made by a plurality of longitudinal ribs parallel to the axis of the container, ensuring the centering, or possibly via protuberances, corresponding to truncated ribs.
- Such a liner may have a height dimension identical to the depth of the tubular container and come to strike the open end of said container or be of smaller size.
- the liner may also have a bottom, whether or not to land on the bottom of the tubular container.
- a spacer may also allow to leave a gap between the bottom of the container and the bottom of the jacket constituting the dehydrating means.
- This desiccant liner is manufactured by injection techniques from desiccant compositions.
- desiccant compositions are generally well known and widely described in the form of injectable thermoplastic compositions comprising polymeric materials into which desiccants have been incorporated.
- the fixing means of the compensation device exerts frictional forces on the desiccant liner.
- said desiccant means is made with the same polymers and desiccant materials as those implemented for the production of the desiccant jacket.
- the figure 1 represents a perspective view of the tubular container and the compensation device according to the invention before insertion.
- the tubular container is cylindrical.
- the figure 2 is a perspective view of a half of the container in a vertical section and truncated at its upper part comprising the compensation device according to the invention inserted at the bottom of the container.
- the figure 3 is a sectional view of the compensation device according to the invention, in a variant equipped with a housing containing a desiccant integrated in said device.
- the figure 1 represents the tubular container (1) with its compensation device (2) not yet inserted, but without its closure means.
- the compensation device consists of a compensation means (3) and a fixing means (4).
- the figure 2 represents the compensation device (2) inserted at the bottom (9) of the container (1) empty of its contents ,.
- the compensation device (2) consists of a compensation means (3) and a fixing means (4).
- the compensating means (3) is hollow and conically shaped, consisting of a large circular base (8) inserted at the bottom (9) of the container (1) and a small circular base (5) on which the packaged products (not shown in this figure).
- the two bases of the compensation means are coaxial and connected by means of deformable links (7) which have the form of helical strands.
- the fixing means (4) consists of three mechanical elements (6) which are in the form of fins.
- the figure 3 represents a variant of the compensation device (2) comprising a compensation means (3) and a fixing means (4), and a housing (10) constituting an integral part of the device and making it possible to use a desiccant material (11); ).
- the compensation means (3) is hollow and cylindrical in shape, composed of a large circular base (8) inserted at the bottom of the container (not shown) and a small circular base (5).
- the two bases of the compensation means (3) are coaxial and connected by means of deformable links (7) which have the form of helical strands.
- the fixing means (4) consists of the mechanical elements (6) which are in the form of fins.
- the housing (10) is an integral part of the device (2), the bottom of the housing (10) being part of the large base (8), the cylindrical side walls of the housing (10) being of a diameter such that the compensation means (3) can freely play its function.
- a porous membrane (12) retained by crimping keeps the desiccant (11) in position.
