Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a hollow glass container. More specifically, the present invention relates to a glass container of the type normally used by the pharmaceutical industry for filling and sealing, under hermetic conditions, containers containing liquid substances, of the type commonly referred to as "ampoule", which comprise a cylindrical glass main body, wherein a first base of said cylindrical main body has a long and narrow neck sealed by melting of the material itself.
  • Ampoules are glass containers that comprise a cylindrical glass main body, comprising long and narrow necks in each of the bases of said body which, once the liquid has been introduced into the ampoule, are hermetically sealed by melting of the material at its point.
  • the user wishes to use the content of the ampoule, he/she must cut it by breaking both glass necks to allow correct emptying of the ampoule content.
  • the present invention is aimed at providing an "ampoule-type" container, of essentially pharmaceutical application, having none of the aforementioned drawbacks, thereby reducing the probability of injury occurring to the user and the environmental impact thereof, and providing a container of the type indicated which can stand on its own in an upright position and does not have additional labelling problems or difficulties that could lead to an undesirable increase in the price of the final product.
  • the object of the present invention is a hollow glass container, having a new concept or functionality, which is in essence characterised in that the main body comprises, in a second base opposed to the first base, a circular crown made of the material of the main body for disposing a seal for an orifice on said crown defined by the inner edge of said circular crown.
  • Said seal shall preferably be a heat-sealed laminated seal disposed on said circular crown.
  • This container has the advantage that the user has only to break the single neck of the container, while opening/breaking the seal of the second base, which can be done, for example, by breaking the laminated seal with a wedge-shaped element, or in any other manner.
  • the seal of the second base can advantageously be of the type which can be burst, using a syringe needle, which allows the container to be used for storing liquids for injection, and transferring said liquids to a syringe without having to cut the glass neck.
  • the container of the present invention may be disposed on the second base in an upright position.
  • the side walls of the main body comprise a contraction in the proximity of the second base, in such a manner that the second base has a diameter smaller than that of the diameter of the main body.
  • said contraction in turn defines a cylindrical area in the main body having a diameter smaller than that of the rest of the main body.
  • said cylindrical area defined by the contraction has a diameter two or more millimetres smaller than that of the rest of the main body.
  • the contraction allows, for example, a large number of containers to be disposed adjacently to each other, placing a single lamina over these, heat-sealing, in a single operation, said lamina to the circular crowns of the containers and, subsequently, introducing a cutting device through the free spaces left by the contractions in order to cut the lamina around the second base of the container.
  • the inner edge of said crown may comprise a regrowth directed towards the interior of the main body, which may collaborate in the fixation of the seal.
  • FIG. 1 we can observe an embodiment of the container that is the object of the present invention, of the type normally used by the pharmaceutical industry for filling and sealing, under hermetic conditions, containers containing liquid substances, of the type commonly referred to as "ampoule".
  • Said embodiment is a glass container which comprises a cylindrical main body 1 made of said material.
  • a long and narrow 21 neck is disposed on a first base 2 which comprises a small aperture 22 that can be sealed by melting of the material applying the usual techniques for glass ampoules, for example, subjecting the aperture 22 to the action of a flame.
  • the second base 3 opposed to the first base 2 is composed of a circular crown 31 (see Fig. 6 ), the inner edge of which defines an orifice 4, designed for being covered by a seal that will be disposed on said circular crown 31.
  • the side walls of the main body also comprise a contraction 11 in the proximity of the second base 3, which causes the second base 3 to have a diameter smaller than that of the diameter of the main body 1-.
  • the contraction 11 in turn defines a cylindrical area 12 in the main body having a smaller diameter to that of the rest of the main body 1.
  • the objective of said depressed area 11, 12 is to leave room for a punching or cutting element in an orifice 4 covering phase by means of a heat-sealed or heat-glued film.
  • the diameter of the cylindrical area 12 of smaller diameter shall be, at least, 2 mm smaller than the main diameter of the main element 1-.
  • the aperture 22 has been represented in figure 1 in its open status, in that it is sealed once the content to be stored in its interior has been introduced therein.
  • a regrowth 41 directed towards the interior of the main body projects from the inner edge of the crown 31, which may serve as an additional support for a heat-sealed lamina or as a support for a cap-type seal, for example.
  • Figures 4 and 5 show two similar embodiments of the container that is the object of the present invention, wherein the containers have been conveniently sealed.
  • the aperture 22 of the neck 21 appears sealed by melting (and therefore, rounded), while in the opposite base we can observe a seal 5 disposed on the circular crown 31 that seals the orifice 4 of the second base 3.
  • the seal 5 comprises a flange 51 that is easy to open.
  • the seal 5 consists of a heat-sealed lamina.
  • Said lamina may be of a composite material with an outer side, aluminised applying known techniques, or of another type.
  • the seal 5 may be penetrated by a syringe needle to extract the liquid contained in its interior without having to break the neck 21-.
  • the aluminised laminas may fulfil said condition.
  • the seal in this case, may also be substituted, for example, by a cap made of a suitable synthetic material.
