Description

IMPROVED SINGLE-DOSE VIAL, PROCESS AND MACHINERY FOR PRODUCING SUCH VIAL
The present invention refers to an improved single-dose vial. The present invention further refers to a process and a machinery for producing such vial.
As known, the art proposes vials or single- dose vials, generally aimed to contain and afterwards using, for delivery and administration, liquid substances such as, for' example, medical solutions for medical or veterinary topic use.
Such known vials are generally composed of a containing body of ari ' elongated shape, with circular, oval or quadrangular cross section, having a first end equipped with an integral plug that can be removed by torsion in such a way as to allow the contained liquid to go out, and a second end opposite to the first end adapted for filling the vial with liquid, to be then closed again, generally through hot welding of the side parts of the containing body one to the other. In such a way, therefore, these vials, once marketed, are equipped with a more or less tapered base, that anyway does not allow them to autonomously keep a vertical position, as would instead be required in some applications.
In order to solve such inconvenience, the art has proposed single-dose vials equipped with a bearing base that allows the vials themselves to autonomously keep, if necessary, a vertical position, for example like those disclosed in document EP-A-1336386. To obtain the bearing base, such vials are however characterised by projections that go out of the generally cylindrical profile of the containing body, this preventing their management through traditional vial-assembling machines, therefore determining the need of using suitable conceived and' realised, or at least modified, assembling machines.
Therefore, object of the present invention is solving the above prior art problems by providing an improved single-dose vial that is equipped with a bearing base adapted to allow the vial itself to remain autonomously standing, if necessary, in a vertical position.
Another object of the present invention is providing an improved single-dose vial that can remain autonomously standing, if necessary, in a vertical position, though keeping a globally- cylindrical external shape without the presence of projecting external parts that go out of the cylindrical profile itself.
Moreover, an object of the present invention is providing a process for producing an improved single-dose vial that can remain autonomously- standing, if necessary, in a vertical position, though keeping a globally cylindrical external shape without the presence of projecting external parts that go out of the cylindrical profile itself.
A further object of the present invention is providing a machinery for producing an improved single-dose vial that can remain autonomously standing, if necessary, in a vertical position, though keeping a globally cylindrical external shape without the presence of projecting external parts that go out of the cylindrical profile itself.
The above and other objects and advantages of the invention, as will appear from the following description, are obtained with an improved single- dose vial as claimed in claim 1.
Moreover, the above and other objects and advantages of the invention are obtained with a process for producing an improved single-dose vial as claimed in claim 12.
Moreover, the above and other objects and advantages of the invention are obtained with a machinery for producing an improved single-dose vial as claimed in claim 14.
Preferred embodiments and v non-trivial variations of the present invention are the subject matter of the dependent claims.
It will be immediately obvious that numerous variations and modifications (for example related to shape, sizes, arrangements and parts with equivalent functionality) can be made to what is described without departing from the scope of the invention as appears from the enclosed claims.
The present invention will be better described by some preferred embodiments thereof, provided as a non-limiting example, with reference to the enclosed drawings, in which:
FIG. 1 shows a perspective view of a preferred embodiment of the improved single-dose vial according to the present invention; FIG. 2 shows a partially exploded view of the single-dose vial of FIG. 1;
FIG. 3 shows an enlargement of the part contained in box A of FIG. 2;
FIG. 4a shows a top view of a component of the single-dose vial according to the present invention;
FIG. 4b shows a side sectional view of the component of FIG. 4a along section line A-A;
FIG. 5 shows a side view of the single-dose vial according to the present invention in a step of the production process according to the present invention;
FIG. 6a shows an enlargement of the part contained in box B of FIG. 5 in a step of the production process according to the present invention; and
FIG. 6b shows an enlargement of the part contained in box B of FIG. 5 in another step of the production process according to the present invention .
With reference to the Figures, it is possible to note that the improved single-dose vial 1 according to the present invention is composed of a containing body 3 of an elongated shape, and preferably with a substantially cylindrical development, having a first end equipped with a delivery opening 5 for a liquid contained inside the containing body 3 itself and a second end opposite to the first end equipped with a filling opening 7 that can be closed by a plug 9 operating as bearing base of the single-dose vial 1 according to the present invention. The delivery opening 5 is then kept closed by a closing plug 11 of a substantially known type, that can be fractured and is produced integral with the containing body 3. According to an advantageous characteristic of the single-dose vial 1 according to the present invention, the closing plug 11 could have any external shape, obviously remaining inside functionally admissible limits, however such as to have a maximum external' dimension Dτ not greater than the maximum external dimension Dc of the containing body 3, in such a way as to completely remain inside the external cylindrical profile defined by the containing body 3. In various variations of the single-dose vial 1 according to the present invention, the closing plug could also be capable of being closed again and/or hermetically sealed. Il containing body 3 is filled with liquid through the filling opening 7; once having ended such operation, the filling opening 7 is closed through the plug/bearing base 9 with the modes that will be described below in more detail.
With particular reference to FIG. 3, externally and next to the edge 13 of the filling opening 7, the containing body 3 is equipped with a external perimeter groove 15a concentric with the axis of symmetry R-R of the containing body 3 itself. Internally, the containing body 3 is equipped, next to the external perimeter groove 15a, with an abutment edge 15b, also with a perimeter development and concentric with the axis of symmetry R-R of the containing body 3. Preferably, the abutment edge 15b is equipped with at least one first bevelled fitting 15c continuous with the internal surface of the containing body 3, and in particular with the edge of the filling opening 7.
With particular reference to FIG. 4a and 4b, it is possible to note that the plug/bearing base 9 has an external shape that copies the shape of the containing body 3, and then preferably circular, with an external diameter obviously compatible with the diameter of the filling opening 7, and is equipped with a lower external surface 17 adapted to form the bearing base of the single-dose vial 1 according to the present invention and with at least one upper perimeter lip 19 concentric with the axis of symmetry R-R of the containing body 3 and fitted to an upper perimeter edge 17a of the lower surface 17 through a second bevelled fitting 21, such second bevelled fitting 21 being adapted to correspond with the first bevelled fitting 15c of the abutment edge 15b once the plug 9 is closing the filling opening 7. In particular, the upper perimeter edge 17a of the lower surface 17 also operates as bearing abutment against the edge 13 of the filling opening 7 while the upper perimeter lip 19 has such a diameter as to correspond with a slight interference with' the internal diameter of the abutment edge 15b of the containing body 3. Advantageously, the plug/bearing base 9 preferably has an external diameter DM not greater that the maximum external dimension Dc of the containing body 3: in this way, the single-dose vial 1 according to the present invention has a preferably substantially cylindrical external outline, without showing projections or parts that goes out of the external profile defined by the containing body 3.
Once the containing body 3 has been filled with the liquid to be administered through the filling opening 7, the plug/bearing base 9 is inserted inside the filling opening 7 itself. The plug 9 can then be secured to the containing body 3 through a suitable welding. Preferably, the plug 9 is secured to the containing body 3 through ultrasound welding.
The present invention further refers to a process for producing a single-dose vial 1 like the previously-described one.
In particular, also with reference to FIG. 5, 6a and 6b, it is possible to note that the process according to the present invention comprises the steps of: a) moulding, for example with injection of plastic material, the containing body 3, possibly integral with the closing plug 11; b) moulding, for example with injection of plastic material, the plug/bearing base 9; c) filling the containing body 3 through the filling opening 7 with a liquid, for example a solution for medical use; d) supporting the containing body 3 through the external perimeter groove 15a; such step can be performed by using suitable mechanical devices, made for example as at least one jaw adapted to close for containing inside it the external perimeter groove 15a (along direction C of the arrows shown in FIG. 5, βa and 6b) and supporting the containing body 3; e) inserting the plug/bearing base 9 inside the filling opening 7; in particular, as can be noted in more detail in FIG. 6a, in such step the upper perimeter edge 17a of the lower surface 17 of the plug 9 abuts against the edge 13 of the filling opening 9 and the upper perimeter lip 19 slightly interferes with the abutment edge 15b of the containing body 3; moreover, the different inclination existing between the first bevelled fitting 15c of the abutment edge 15b and the second bevelled fitting 21 generates a space 23a included between the fittings themselves; f) welding the plug/bearing base 9 to the containing body 3; such step preferably occurs through ultrasound welding (schematically shown by curvilinear arrows U3) ; in particular, as can be noted in more detail in FIG. 6b, in such step the space 23a included between the first bevelled fitting 15c of the abutment edge 15b and the second bevelled fitting 21 is at least partially filled with a welding bead 23b; and g) releasing the containing body 3; such step can be performed by opening the mechanical devices supporting the containing body 3 through the external perimeter groove 15a, for example by opening the jaw along direction 0 of the arrows shown in FIG. 5, 6a and 6b) .
The present invention further refers to a machinery for producing a single-dose vial 1 like the previously-described one. The machinery- according to the present invention, that can obviously be composed of one or more mutually cooperating machines, substantially comprises:
- means for injection moulding the containing body 3;
- means for moulding the plug/bearing base 9;
- means for filling with a liquid the containing body 3;
- means for supporting the containing body 3 through the external perimeter groove 15a; such means preferably comprise mechanical devices such as at least one jaw; and
- means for welding the plug/bearing base 9 to the containing body 3; in particular, such means preferably comprise ultrasound welding means.
