Definitions

  • the invention relates to a medicament vial for pills, dragees, powders, tablets and other lumpy presented offerings, such as medicines, dietary supplements, flavoring, sweetening, coloring and preservatives as well as foods, such as cereals or nuts, which are loosely poured in the medicine vial, and especially a closure for such a vial according to the preamble of claim 1 and the DE 195 23 754 ,
  • This document relates to a foil lid for closing containers for drinks, milk products, technical liquids, etc. and is designed so that when opening the foil lid is separated along an intermediate layer, wherein a drinking or pouring opening is formed in the region of the edge of the container.
  • these vials are closed by a screw cap with screw cap, which is provided as a guarantee of integrity at the time of purchase either a guarantee ring on the cap, which breaks on initial screwing, or it is inside the cap, over the edge of the neck of the vial, a warranty board, usually made of aluminum or a plastic composite, sealed. This board must be peeled by the user if he wants to get to the contents of the vial, thus fulfilling the warranty function.
  • the closure not only from a screw or snap cap, but also from an at least two-layer board, which fulfills the warranty function and their removal an inner layer, optionally a multi-layer plastic film remains at the edge of the opening, said plastic film a slot which is provided eccentrically on the circular film surface from near the circle edge to near the circle edge and at least one, with respect to the circle center, concave portion which thus forms with the circular edge of an at least substantially lenticular or oval or circular surface which connected to the remaining (larger) area via two webs.
  • the material disclosed therein consists essentially of two interconnected layers, each of which may be multi-layered.
  • the inner layer is sealed with the respective container edge and has at a distance from the container edge in closed line of weakness.
  • the outer layer can be removed, usually by means of a tab.
  • the two layers Since the bonding force between the two layers is less than the force connecting the inner layer in the seal area to the container rim, the two layers separate and the area of the inner layer that is delimited from the rest by the self-contained line of weakness remains adhering to the peeled outer layer so as to expose an opening in the inner layer which is substantially smaller than the part covering the opening by the permanent seal with the container edge.
  • This technology is mainly used to avoid the spilling of liquid in vessels after the removal of the outer layer as possible and still provide a drinking opening, or to provide an opening for a drinking straw or the like.
  • a similar material of similar construction, which is used for the same purpose is from the EP 812 782 A known.
  • Another similar material of similar construction which is used for the same purpose, is from the GB 2 027 664 A known.
  • FIG. 1 a medicine vial with closure according to the invention in the closed state
  • the Fig. 2 the medicine bottle of the Fig. 1 with removed screw cap and intact guarantee closure
  • the Fig. 3 a view of a medicine bottle as in Fig. 1 or 2 with withdrawn guarantee closure and exposed removal opening
  • the Fig. 4 to 8 Various forms of extraction openings according to the invention, purely schematically in plan view.
  • the Fig. 1 shows the medicine vial 1 with inventive closure in the closed state.
  • the Fig. 2 shows the medicine vial 1 of the Fig. 2 with removed screw cap and intact guarantee closure.
  • the Fig. 3 shows the medication vial 1 with deducted guarantee closure and a cover 3 with a tab area 4, as it sticks after fanning the guarantee closure on the edge of the drug vial 1 along a peripheral sealing edge 2 and covers the bottle opening.
  • a dividing line 9 is off-center, thus provided between a center 10 and the circular sealing edge 2. It has two end points 6 and 7, which in the exemplary embodiment shown are both closer to the sealing edge 2 than all the other points of the parting line 9, so that it is concave with respect to the center 10 of the plastic film 1 in the widest sense of the word.
  • the Fig. 4 shows the variant of the tab region 4 according to the invention, very schematically, namely a plan view of the inner plastic film, the cover region 3, as in Fig. 3 is trained.
  • the variant shown represents the dividing line 9 with an approximately circular arc-shaped course, the other figures are the same extent, only the dividing line 9 is formed differently in order to explain the various options, at least illustratively.
  • Fig. 5 the dividing line 9, which consists of three rectilinear sections, which have approximately the shape of three sides of a trapezoid.
  • the Fig. 6 shows an embodiment of three geradliningen sections forming three sides of a rectangle and the Fig.
  • each delimited with vertices dividing line in which always remains a connection with the rest of the coverage area, has the great advantage over a formation of a self-contained, for example, circular separation line or a full release of the vial opening that no loose part is formed which can fall into the contents.
  • a detail on an enlarged scale performing Fig. 8 shows that there is a distance 5 or an undisturbed course in the range of this distance between the tab region 4 and the cover region 3.
  • the tab region 4 is so called for the following reasons: If a straight line is considered between the end points 6 and 7 of the parting line 9, then the region of the plastic film 1 along this line forms a kind of hinge or bending line 8 for the tab region 4 of the plastic film which delimits the dividing line 9 with respect to this imaginary straight line becomes.
  • this area also works like a tab or flap which counteracts the shaking of the medicine vial 1 for taking out tablets or a tablet such as a flap or wing of the pellet movement of the tablets and thus causes a better separation of the tablets coming from the medicament vial 1 ,
  • the size of the area or gap 5 can virtually go to zero, but if the guarantee closure, when pulled off in this area, is provided with a wavy line of weakness, through which the peeling between the two layers of the guarantee closure is to be facilitated, so There is a risk that it comes here to tearing or tearing of the plastic film, which on the one hand affects the proper opening, on the other hand, the effectiveness of the dividing line 9 can be reduced. If there is no such line of weakness in this area, in which the dividing line 9 comes closest to the sealing edge 2, there are no concerns for technological reasons against a course of the dividing line 9 up to the sealing edge 2.
  • the size and shape of the dividing line 9 can be determined by those skilled in the art of board making knowledge of the invention with reference to a few experiments. Since this only the plastic film and not the entire warranty closure is required, this can be done in each laboratory of a board manufacturer without much effort.
