Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a non-refoldable thermoformed packaging for a food, cosmetic, pharmaceutical or veterinary product, of safety, in particular with regard to children, intended to deliver a liquid or pasty substance in a homogeneous and atraumatic manner on the site of use of a subject to be treated or fed.
  • the packages may exhibit also other disadvantages, especially for the user and / or the subject to be treated or to feed.
  • the existing packaging such as in particular the packaging of the product FRONTLINE Spot on Dog (Fipronil 10% -p / v) marketed by the company Merial TM, or packaging according to the documents WO2004 / 030821 and WO2006 / 058139 , leave unchecked, once opened, their content if the user is not careful or if he lets out the packaging.
  • thermoformed cannulas are rigid and may have undesirable fracture points depending on their length and the nature of the constituent materials. They may break upstream of the breakpoint, increasing the risk of product loss and contamination of the user's fingers.
  • the document US 5,067,635 discloses a sealed dispenser pouch comprising two panels forming a reservoir whose nominal volume is between about 100 ml and 1000 ml. However, this type of non-thermoformed reservoir bag is not suitable in particular for delivering low doses of product.
  • the document DE202004000591U1 discloses a re-sealable packaging incorporating an additional refilling system, which makes said packaging tight.
  • the stability of the content depends in part on the nature and integrity of the material constituting the packaging. The latter can influence interactions with the content, as well as exchanges with the outside such as the passage of water or oxygen. De facto, in cases where zones of fragility exist at the level of the opening or breakability zone on a packaging, the integrity of the material constituting the packaging is not always homogeneous since the zone of weakness corresponds to a weakness. physical shell facilitating opening but also decreasing the quality of protection of the packaging. The stability of the content also depends on both the dead volume, which determines the amount of air in contact with the contents; and also transparency, which conditions the possible effects of photo-degradation.
  • a problem to be solved by the invention is to provide a packaging that is safe, convenient to use, adapted to the content, economically and ecologically interesting, and a method of preparing such a packaging. , and which does not present all or some of the disadvantages described above.
  • thermoformed packaging as defined in claim 1 and intended to deliver a liquid or pasty substance.
  • thermoformed packaging is meant a package that has been manufactured by thermoforming a bottom complex, by heat sealing or gluing a gate complex and cutting to obtain the final shape.
  • the escape route is formed by a narrow, unsealed contact zone between the bottom complex and the gate complex bounded at the edges of the escape route by heat sealing or bonding the bottom complex with the complex of cover.
  • the escape route is capable of allowing the passage of the liquid or pasty substance when a pressure exerted by the user on the rigid deformable reservoir is reflected in the leakage path and causes a deformation removing the close contact between the complex background and the operculum complex that was responsible for closing the escape route.
  • the packaging is a packaging that is non-re-lockable that is safe, especially for children, practice of employment and which, once opened, is leak-proof and allows the flow of content, that is to say the liquid or pasty substance, homogeneously that under the control of the user.
  • the invention also proposes uses of a packaging according to claim 1 and as defined in claims 10 to 12. A method of manufacturing such a package is also described and defined in claim 13.
  • the figures 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 and 5 represent three possible alternative embodiments of packaging according to the invention, said packages being open ( figures 4 and 5 ) or closed ( figures 1 , 2 , and 3 ).
  • the lower part of the packaging comprises, in its central part, a reservoir shell 1, which houses a liquid or pasty content.
  • the upper part of the packaging comprises a leakage path 7 located between the upper end portion of the tank 1 and the applicator 3 which is disengaged when the packaging is open and in the mode of use.
  • This escape route 7, allowing the passage of the liquid or pasty substance from the reservoir to the applicator, is naturally closed in the absence of pressure exerted on the reservoir 1.
  • the tank 1 has in its upper terminal part a rigid protuberance 2 ( Figures 7a and 7b ).
  • This rigid protuberance 2 is intended to concentrate the arrival of the liquid or pasty substance at the level of the escape path 7.
  • the upper part of the packaging comprises a gripping area 5 formed by two gripping lugs 51 and 52.
  • the upper part of said gripping zone 5, that is to say the gripping lug 51 can be torn at a breakpoint zone 6 and thus release the applicator 3. Due to the presence of said gripping lugs 51 and 52, the risk of unintentionally squeezing the tank 1 and causing the product to leak during the operation is extremely limited, see below.
  • the skilled person can adapt the shape and size of the two gripping lugs 51 and 52 of the gripping zone 5 as long as they remain adapted to a grip by the user to break the breakout zone 6 to release or release the applicator 3.
  • the breakability zone 6 is breakable thanks to a movement back and forth of the upper gripping lug 51. To do this, the user must maintain the pipette at the lower gripping zone 52 Alternatively, the breakability zone can be torn in a pivoting movement and to make the user grasped with one hand, preferably between the thumb and the index finger the gripping ear 51. He proceeds with the other hand of identical manner with the gripping ear 52 and tears the breakability zone 6 to release the applicator 3. In all modes of opening, the position of the hands on the gripping ears, in particular on the gripping ear 52 , compresses the escape route 7, which prevents the accidental exit of the liquid or pasty product located in the tank 1.
  • the bottom part of the packaging substantially flat, also comprises in its central part the reservoir 1 which forms a rigid deformable shell and which houses the liquid or pasty content.
  • This tank 1 is connected to the upper part of the packaging by the escape route 7 which is naturally closed in the absence of pressure exerted on the tank 1.
  • a peelable label 8 is positioned on the breakability zone 6 (see figure 3 ).
  • the peelable label 8 considerably strengthens the structure of the breakability zone. The user must, in this case, remove the peelable label 8 before tearing or breaking the gripping zone 5 at the breakability zone 6.
  • This peelable label 8 further secures the packaging, particularly vis-à-vis children. Indeed, the addition of a manipulation creates a sequence of additional actions necessary to open the packaging.
  • the breakability zone 6 may alternatively consist of a connection zone between the gripping lugs 51 and 52 of smaller thickness and / or width forming an easily breakable or tearable embrittlement zone.
  • Such an embrittlement zone may be constituted by a break line in the flesh of the material forming the background complex.
  • the line or the score groove is conventionally made by a pre-cutting tool such as a blade, a laser system or a high-pressure water jet.
  • the break line has a convex shape. In general, the form of the applicator will be conditioned by the shape of the score line.
  • An advantage provided by the escape route in the case where the breakability zone comprises a break line is that the product does not come into contact with this weakened zone.
  • the escape path is indeed normally closed over its entire length as long as no pressure is exerted on the tank 1. This helps to ensure good stability to the contents.
  • the embrittlement zone is at least partially constituted by a narrowing between the lugs 51 and 52
  • the embrittlement can be increased by the formation of angles ⁇ whose vertices delimit the zone of breakability, the angles ⁇ thus formed being identical or different and preferably less than 120 ° and even more preferably less than 90 ° (see figure 2 ).
  • the peripheral part of the packaging ie the peripheral part of the tank 1 and the escape route 7, comprises a sealed zone 4.
  • the sealing of the zone 4 is achieved by bonding, by heat sealing, by tip-type welding diamond or by soldering flat.
  • This sealed zone 4 may have a width up to the edge of the packaging.
  • the packaging according to the invention is formed of at least two different materials.
  • the bottom portion where the tank 1 is salient, also called bottom complex 9 is formed of a rigid thermoformable film.
  • the flat top portion which consists of the lidding complex 10 is, for its part, formed of a flexible film.
  • the assembly of the packaging is obtained preferentially by thermo-welding of said parts at the zone 4.
  • the contours, the size and the shape of the tank 1 and the escape route 7 are determined by the sealed zone 4 .
  • the escape path 7 opens by deformation of the bottom complex and / or the sealing complex to the passage of the liquid or pasty substance contained in the reservoir under the action of the pressure exerted by the user on the reservoir.
  • the leakage path may be integrated in a thermoformed conduit 13 to facilitate the passage of the liquid or pasty substance between the reservoir 1 and the applicator 3.
  • the conduit thus formed will naturally be closed by the escape route 7 in the absence of pressure exerted by the user on the tank.
  • the bottom complex has at the reservoir 1 an imprint 11 having substantially the shape of the end of a finger.
  • the user may position his thumb, for example, at the location of this footprint 11, to press the shell at the reservoir and control the output of the liquid or pasty substance.
  • reinforcements 12 may be arranged on either side and in the vicinity of the escape path 7 as illustrated in FIG. figure 12A .
  • the rigid film is formed of a material chosen from polypropylene (PP), polyvinyl chloride (PVC), polyvinylidene chloride, cycloolefin copolymer (COC), polychlorinated trifluoroethylene (PCTFE), or derivatives thereof. , taken alone or mixed.
  • PP polypropylene
  • PVC polyvinyl chloride
  • COC cycloolefin copolymer
  • PCTFE polychlorinated trifluoroethylene
  • the rigid film is Polybar TM sold by Alcan Packaging TM, which consists of a copolymer cycloolefin (COC) film coextruded between two layers of polypropylene (PP).
  • COC copolymer cycloolefin
  • PP polypropylene
  • the Polybar is then laminated or laminated with a Barex TM film. The whole constitutes the background complex
  • a characteristic of the rigid film is that it must form a deformable shell at the reservoir 1, that is to say that it must be able to deform under the action of the pressure exerted by the user to drive the liquid or pasty product from the tank 1 to the applicator 3 through the leakage path 7.
  • the shape of the tank 1 should ideally allow a complete emptying of the tank under the action of the pressure exerted by the user.
  • the flexible film consists of a material chosen from polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polyamide, aluminum or polyacrylonitrile marketed by BP Chemicals TM under the brand name Barex TM, or derivatives thereof, taken alone. or combined.
  • PET polyethylene terephthalate

  • the invention also relates to a method of manufacturing a safety packaging, in particular for children.
  • This method comprising a step of sealing a rigid thermoformed portion and a flexible portion, as described above, comprising a reservoir 1 and a leakage path 7 to an applicator 3.
  • the reservoir 1 of the packaging according to the invention comprises a liquid or pasty composition capable of being expelled by the leakage path 7 to the applicator 3 after opening of the securing zone, by application by the user of a sufficient pressure on the tank 1.
  • the liquid or pasty composition may have a use in many areas, including food, cosmetic, pharmaceutical or veterinary. It may therefore be a food (liquid or pasta) intended to be ingested by a man or an animal by application directly into the mouth or mixed in the food or water of drink. It may also be cosmetics (in the form of solutions, suspensions, gels or pasta) for application on the hands, skin, face or hair of an individual.
  • compositions perfectly suited to the packaging according to the invention are the antiparasitic compositions for the prevention or the treatment of infestations in domestic animals, in particular dogs and cats, in the form of ready-to-use solution of the spot-on type. It is usually an application located on an area of less than 5 cm2 located between the shoulders in 1 or 2 points.
  • Such compositions may comprise at least one active ingredient advantageously chosen from fipronil, pyriproxyfen, imidacloprid, permethrin and nitenpyram.
  • the composition may also contain another pest active ingredient broadening the range of activity of Fipronil as an acaricide such as amitraz, permethrin or cymiazole, an inhibitor of Insect growth or IGR with respect to fleas or ticks such as pyriproxyfen or ethoxazole, avermectin or its derivatives with respect to endoparasites such as ivermectin, abamectin, doramectin, moxydectin or milbemycin .
  • the compositions are generally prepared by simply dissolving the insecticidal active ingredient (s) in the solvent system according to techniques known to those skilled in the art.
  • the figures 9 , 10 and 11 schematize the conditioning in use mode. So, the figure 9 illustrates the manner in which the fingers of the user are positioned to tear and open the packaging at the level of the breakability zone 6.
  • the figure 10 illustrates open packaging.
  • the packaging does not let the content escape by simple gravity when the user maintains it.
  • the content therefore remains in the tank 1.
  • the system with escape path 7 allows to maintain the packaging or simply to ask, without taking care to open since the open system does not leak.
  • the expulsion of the content out of the packaging is therefore under the control of the user.
  • the liquid or paste contained in the reservoir is expelled under pressure applied by the user at the reservoir. This pressure allows the paste or the liquid to take the escape route 7 whose flexible part deforms and allows the escape of the contents under the effect of the pressure imposed by the user on the tank 1 ( figure 11 ).
  • the gripping lug 51 is completely detached from the packaging. Access to the site of use or application of the liquid or paste is simplified because this gripping ear 51 does not interfere with the access of the remaining packaging to the site of use, as may be the case with other packages of the prior art.
  • the escape path 7 is borrowed by the contents only when the user presses the deformable shell forming reservoir 1.
  • the open packaging after opening, during the administration of the content on the site of use, for example on the skin, between the hairs of an animal, or on the mucous membranes, the open packaging must be atraumatic .
  • a pipette for veterinary use is formed according to the scheme of the figure 1 .
  • the bottom complex is made of Polybar TM which consists of a copolymer cycloolefin copolymer (COC) film coextruded between two layers of polypropylene (PP), laminated with a Barex TM film.
  • the lidding complex consists of a PET / Aluminum / Barex TM complex. The assembly of the packaging is obtained by thermo-welding of the bottom complex with the lidding complex. A break line is formed by a blade at the breakpoint zone 6.
  • the content consists of a solution of formula below: components Quantity fipronil 10.0 g Benzyl alcohol 30.0 g butylhydroxyanisole 0.02 g butylhydroxytoluene 0.01 g Diethylene glycol monoethyl ether qs 100 ml

  • the pipettes are opened by holding the "bottom complex" pipette (salient reservoir) towards the user.
  • the ear 52 is firmly held while the ear 51 is fully pushed to breaking the bottom complex. It is then observed that a pressure applied to the reservoir does not yet allow to expel the contained product. It is necessary to completely fold the ear 51 towards the user so that it breaks off and thus releases the applicator 3. Then the product can be expelled by applying a pressure on the reservoir 1. It is also observed that the liquid flows in the form of a continuous jet and powerful that has the advantage of allowing to reach deep areas, to the skin, in the fur of an animal during topical application.
