Definitions

  • the present invention refers to an upgraded bottle for fluid products, particularly pharmaceutical, medicinal or cosmetic products, according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • Plastic bottles are known that are used in pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries to package one or more doses of fluid, liquid or pasty products and which are essentially made up of a containing body for containing the product which, at one end, extends in a neck, at the top of which a product dispensing mouth is defmed; the dispensing mouth is closed by a tearable membrane.
  • the end of the containing body opposite the neck is open to allow, during bottle packaging, the introduction of the product into the containing body, after which this is closed, for example, by sealing.
  • a cap is fitted, from the ceiling of which a membrane perforating element extends internally.
  • a retention ring On the inner side surface of the cap a retention ring is obtained which, in bottle packaging closed configuration, is engaged by triggering in a corresponding ring-shaped groove defined on the outer side surface of the neck, so as to withhold the perforating element at a height above that of the membrane that closes the dispensing mouth.
  • the cap is fitted onto the neck of the containing body until the retention ring disengages from the corresponding groove and the perforating element tears the membrane and opens the dispensing mouth, after which the cap is removed from the neck to allow product dispensing.
  • the containing body has a pair of grip flaps that extend, in a diametrically opposite direction the one to the other, from its outer side surface.
  • the known bottles can be produced in single units or interlinked with one another in series (strips); in this latter case the grip flaps of the containing bodies of two successive bottles are temporarily joined together along prebreakage lines.
  • the known bottles are without safety means suitable for preventing, or at least making less easy, the opening of the dispensing mouth and the removal of the cap by children, who could swallow the product inside the bottles in an incorrect way, with obvious risk for their health.
  • Such bottles furthermore, do not show, in a clear and immediately perceivable way, any tampering and/or having already been opened including involuntarily, and do not ensure the integrity and the sterility of the product they contain.
  • bottles comprising a pair of seal flaps that protrude from the containing body in diametrically opposite directions, located in between the grip flaps and the cap and associated, removable by tearing, with the body, with the grip flaps or with the cap along respective weakened areas.
  • the bottles are however without the above-mentioned safety means suitable for preventing, or at least making opening by children less easy.
  • a different type of bottles for fluid products is made in a single body piece in which, that is, the product containing body is formed together with closing means in a single body without any interruption whatsoever.
  • the closing means are connected to the body by means of deformable and breakable elements that act as safety seals; deformations and/or breakages of the above elements are signs of tampering.
  • US4307821 discloses a temper-proof container-closure assembly, comprising a threaded neck having a puncturable diaphragm at the end.
  • a closure is provided with internal threads cooperating with external threads of the neck, and with a piercing element and a skirt, which has a score line and a pull tab for the removing of the skirt from the remain of the closure.
  • the main aim of the present invention is to provide an upgraded bottle for fluid products, particularly pharmaceutical, medicinal or cosmetic products, that provides minimum safety requirements suitable for preventing or in any case restricting the potentially harmful use of the products contained in it.
  • Another object of the present invention is to ensure the integrity and the sterility of the products packed inside the bottles.
  • Another object of the invention is to make it possible to see that the bottles have been opened, in a clear and immediate way.
  • Another object of the invention is to cater for the above aims with a simple structure, of relatively practical implementation, safe to use and with effective operation, as well as having a relatively low cost.
  • an upgraded bottle for fluid products particularly pharmaceutical, medicinal or cosmetic products, has been globally designated by reference number 1.
  • the bottle 1 comprises a containing body 2 of a fluid product (pharmaceutical, medicinal or cosmetic) which is of substantially cylindrical and elongated shape and which extends at one end into a neck 3, at the top of which a product dispensing mouth 4 is defined.
  • a fluid product pharmaceutical, medicinal or cosmetic
  • a closing element 5 is associated screwing up and unscrewing with the neck 3 and has a cap 6, inside which is defmed a perforator 7 of a closing membrane 8 integrated with the outer edge of the dispensing mouth 4.
  • the membrane 8 can, for example, be made up of a polymeric material disk integrated with the containing body 2 during the latter's pressing phase.
  • the bottle 1 comprises maintaining means for maintaining the cap 6 in a safety configuration, in which the perforator 7 is substantially positioned away from the membrane 8 and in which the cap 6 can be freely turned around the screwing up and unscrewing axis of the closing element 5.
  • the closing element 5 comprises a plug 9 inside the cap 6, the perforator 7 extends from the ceiling of the plug 9, inside this and towards the dispensing mouth 4.
  • Threaded means are fitted that permit screwing up and unscrewing the plug 9 to the neck 3 which are made up of a screw 10 defined on the outer side surface of the neck 3, and a corresponding nut screw 11 defined on the inner side surface of the plug 9.
  • the cap 6 is fitted over the plug 9 and is associated with it sliding between the above safety configuration, shown in figure 2 , and a work configuration, shown in figure 3 , in which the cap 6 is made integral with the plug 9 by placing coupling means in between.
  • Such coupling means can include, for example, one or more protrusions 12 defined on the outer surface of the plug 9, near the lower edge, and suitable for being inserted inside respective slots 13 defined longitudinally on the inner surface of the cap 6.
  • the above maintaining means for maintaining the cap 6 in the safety configuration can be of the elastic means type 14 which act in contrast to the movement of the cap 6 from the safety configuration to the work configuration.
  • elastic means 14 are made up of a plurality of foil springs fixed to the inner surface of the cap 6, at the ceiling, and engageable by bending on the outer surface of the plug 9, at a substantially conical upper portion 15 and with cross section substantially diverging towards the containing body 2.
  • the bottle 1 can comprise a first retention ring 16 defined protruding from the outer surface and of the plug 9, and a second retention ring 17 defmed protruding at the base of the inner side surface of the cap 6.
  • the first and the second retention ring 16 and 17 are suitable for being engaged together to prevent the cap 6 and the plug 9 from moving further away from each other in the safety configuration.
  • the bottle 1 comprises a sealing collar 18 fitted coaxially on the neck 3 and placed, removable by tearing, in between the containing body 2 and the closing element 5.
  • the upper surface of the sealing collar 18 is associated with the lower portion of the plug 9 along first weakened areas 19, of the preset breakage line type.
  • the bottle 1 comprises a ring-shaped ridge 30 defined protruding from the outer surface of the neck 3, underneath the closing element 5, and suitable for withholding the sealing collar 18 around the containing body 2 after its detachment from the plug 9.
  • the closing element 5 consists of a cap 6, directly fitted over the neck 3.
  • the perforator 7 is defined protruding from the ceiling of the cap 6, inside it and towards the dispensing mouth 4.
  • the maintaining means for maintaining the cap 6 in the safety configuration comprise a first retention element 20, of the first ring-shaped tooth type defmed protruding from the side surface of the neck 3, which engages with a corresponding lock element 21, of the ring-shaped groove type, defined on the inner side surface of the cap 6.
  • the fitting of the first ring-shaped tooth 20 inside the ring-shaped groove 21 permits blocking the cap 6 in the safety configuration.
  • the product 1 also comprises a second retention element 22, consisting of a second ring-shaped tooth defmed protruding from the side surface of the neck 3, below the first ring-shaped tooth 20.
  • the second ring-shaped tooth 22 is fitted inside the ring-shaped groove 21.
  • the bottle 1 comprises threaded means which, in the work configuration, permit screwing up and unscrewing the cap 6 to the neck 3.
  • the threaded means are made up of a screw 23 defined on the outer side surface of the neck 3, and of a corresponding nut screw 24 defined on the inner side surface of the cap 6.
  • the bottle 1 comprises a sealing collar 18 fitted coaxially on the neck 3 and placed, removable by tearing, in between the containing body 2 and the closing element 5.
  • the upper surface of the sealing collar 18 is associated with the lower portion of the cap 6 along first weakened areas 19, of the preset breakage line type.
  • the bottle 1 also comprises a pair of grip flaps 25 that extend from the containing body 2 along diametrically opposite directions.
  • bottles 1 can be associated with one another at the grip flaps 25 and by interposing second weakened areas 26, of the preset breakage line type or the like.
  • the caps 6 of the bottles 1 can be fitted with an operating key 27 suitable for making gripping easier by a user, which can be made up of a band substantially wrapped around the cap 6 and integral with it ( figures 1-3 ) or, alternatively, by a pair of operating flaps, each diametrically opposite the other, and defined protruding from the outer side surface of the cap 6 ( figures 4-5 ).
  • an operating key 27 suitable for making gripping easier by a user, which can be made up of a band substantially wrapped around the cap 6 and integral with it ( figures 1-3 ) or, alternatively, by a pair of operating flaps, each diametrically opposite the other, and defined protruding from the outer side surface of the cap 6 ( figures 4-5 ).
  • the operating keys 27 of the caps 6 of bottles 1, the one against the other can be associated by interposing third weakened areas 28, of the preset breakage line type or the like.
  • an opening 29 is defined through which, during the packaging phase of the bottle 1, the product is introduced; after filling, the opening 29 is closed, for example by the sealing of its lips.
  • the operation is the following.
  • the cap 6 is further fitted over the neck 3 by means of a pressure action and slides from the safety configuration to the work configuration, in contrast to the action of the foil springs 14.
  • the protrusions 12 are fitted in their respective slots 13 and a screwing up twisting action on the cap 6 causes the integral rotation of the plug 9, with screwing up of the plug 9 itself on the neck 3 and the moving of the perforator 7 closer to the dispensing mouth 4, as far as contact and breakage of the membrane 8 ( figure 3 ).
  • the ring-shaped ridge 30 withholds the sealing collar 18 around the containing body 2 during the subsequent stages of use of the bottle 1.
