Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a dispenser for wafer containing wafer pouches and a booklet of such wafer pouches.
  • Such dispensers are used, for example, for the preparation of medicaments and sweets in the form of wafers, in particular for hormone medicines and in particular for contraception or for hormone replacement therapy, for analgesics or nicotine-containing dosage forms.
  • Wafer-shaped medicaments or confectionery are conventionally provided in a primary package in which the wafers between two sealing foils, in particular a carrier foil and a cover foil or a top foil and a bottom foil, are enclosed and stored in a moisture-tight and airtight manner by sealing or welding to the outside can be.
  • the wafers are removed from these primary packaging by tearing the sealing foil and applied, usually via the oral cavity.
  • the sealing foils are either released from each other, or they are torn, so that the wafer can be removed.
  • Such a package for active substance-containing films is given in DE 10 2006 041 921 A1.
  • This packaging has a carrier layer and a releasably connected to this cover layer.
  • the packaging further comprises in a paired arrangement two opposite, separated by a web surface areas within which the cover layer is not connected to the carrier layer, whereby two separate, all sides enclosed spaces for pairwise recording of said films are formed.
  • a further surface area is present within said web, in which the carrier layer is not connected to the cover layer, whereby an all-round enclosed cavity is formed.
  • the further surface area within the web of the double packaging forms a tear-open, so that the space required for this purpose relative to the surface areas, which for housing of the packaged goods is reduced.
  • the perforation line within the further surface area extends in the direction of this surface area.
  • the packaging described there has a first surface area for the wafer, which is enclosed on all sides in this area by a carrier film and a cover film by sealing or welding.
  • the packaging has a second surface area in which the carrier layer is not connected to the cover film.
  • a perforation line is present, which extends at least partially within the second surface area, wherein the perforation is mounted both in the carrier layer and in the cover layer. The severing of the perforation has the effect of producing a free edge of the cover layer, which serves as a grasping aid and enables manual detachment of the cover layer from the carrier layer.
  • DE 101 59 746 A1 describes a dispensing device for storing and providing stacked foil bags filled with wafers.
  • the film pockets are formed by a larger area carrier film and a smaller cover film, so that the carrier film protrudes beyond the cover film on one side.
  • the dispensing device comprises an at least single-divided housing, on the lateral inner sides of which the side edges of the stacked film pockets abut, while on a front inner side that edge of the carrier film is present, which projects beyond the edge of the associated cover film.
  • the foil pockets are spring-loaded pressed against the upper inside of the housing.
  • the front upper portion of the housing has two slots for ejecting the film pocket parts and the wafers.
  • a knife is arranged, on which the uppermost carrier film rests spatially in front of the front edge of the cover sheet.
  • On the uppermost film bag is also a rotatable transport element, with which the uppermost film pocket can be conveyed out of the dispenser. The knife separates the carrier film from when conveying out the cover sheet, wherein the wafer adheres to the cover sheet.
  • a bag-multipack contains at least one sealed bag for a drug-containing wafer, each wafer being sealed in a sealed sealed bag.
  • the sealed bags are stacked in the multipack and releasably secured by means of predetermined separation joints.
  • Each sealed bag has a predetermined separation seam which limits a tear-open area.
  • the handle is connected to the tear-open area. By pulling on the grip, the tear-open area is opened, and the active substance-containing product is exposed. By further pulling on the handle, the predetermined separation joint is separated.
  • the individual sealed bags are in the stacked state in the multipack by means of two bolts that penetrate the bags in two through holes, or locked in other ways force or form-fitting.
  • the multipack can be, for example, a cuboid box with a hinged, slide-on or removable lid.
  • laundry bags are either individually inserted in the secondary packaging (DE 101 59 746 A1) or permanently connected to the secondary packaging (DE 10 2006 022 198 B4). This requires either - in the former case - a single filling of the secondary packaging with wafer bags by the user or a manufacturer or - in the other case - a release of the manufacturer already filled with wafer bags secondary packaging. This requires that the user either discards the emptied secondary packaging or returns it to the manufacturer for refilling.
  • a filling of the secondary packaging with wafer pockets by a user is problematic when the wafer pockets have to be filled in a certain order in the secondary packaging, for example, in order to be able to adhere to a predetermined collection regime. Because in this case can result in filling errors, which then affects the stringent compliance of the intake of the wafer in the order given.
  • the wafer bags are attached in the secondary packaging, the above problem can be solved.
  • it is not desirable to discard a secondary package after using up the wafer bags as this would create unnecessary waste and, moreover, each time a new secondary package would have to be provided.
  • the secondary packaging for Re-filling to the manufacturer is also disadvantageous because this would require a significant logistical effort.

Les cachets sont emballés dans des pochettes de cachets (20) et le distributeur (1) contient les pochettes de cachets (20). Le distributeur (1) comporte un compartiment de stockage (9), au moins un élément de maintien (19) et au moins une ouverture de distribution (5) pour respectivement une pochette de cachet (20), la pochette de cachet (20) pouvant être distribuée depuis le distributeur (1) dans une direction de distribution (A). Selon l'invention, la pochette de cachet (20) présente respectivement une partie de cachet (21) contenant le cachet, et respectivement au moins une partie résiduelle (24) de la ou des pochettes de cachets (20) restant dans le distributeur (1) lors du prélèvement de la partie de cachet (21). La partie de cachet (21) est reliée à la ou aux parties résiduelles (24) au moins par endroits au moyen d'au moins une ligne de séparation respective (28.1, 28.2) ayant au moins par endroits un composant d'extension (29) parallèle à la direction de distribution (A).
