Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a device for storing and / or transporting a plurality of packaging containers, comprising a trough-shaped lower part and an upper part for closing the lower part in a closed position, in which the lower part and the upper part surround an interior of the device, wherein the lower part of a bottom and a bottom wall projecting from the ground toward the top.
  • Such a device which may also be referred to as packaging or outer packaging, is known for example from DE 91 12 325 U l, where there the lower part are formed by a cup-shaped or trough-shaped, top open receptacle and the upper part by a plastic film.
  • the particularly small packaging containers may in particular be primary packaging such as storage jars, pipettes, vials, cartridges, ampoules, cans, syringes and vials and the like for pharmaceutical and / or chemical use.
  • primary packaging means are used which have a certain stability.
  • the primary packaging materials are "ready-to-sterilize” (RTS) or “ready-to-use” (RTU), if the device with packaging containers has already been sterilized prior to delivery to the manufacturer of pharmaceuticals. If, for example, small glass containers are transported in the device, they must be removed from the device before being filled, for example with a drug, and transferred to a filling system provided for filling. However, the removal of a plurality of small packaging container from a trough-shaped base is a problem, especially if they are positioned undefined in the lower part.
  • the lower part comprises a wall element which forms a peripheral wall of the lower part with the lower part wall, and that the wall element is movable relative to the lower part for at least partially opening the wall.
  • the development proposed according to the invention makes it possible in particular to partially open the trough-shaped lower part laterally by moving part of the wall, namely the detachable wall element, relative to the lower part.
  • a movement may in particular be a translational and / or a rotational movement, that is, for example, a displacement and / or a pivoting movement.
  • a lateral opening of the lower part for example in the form of a gap in the wall, can be formed.
  • the wall element is first moved, for example, relative to the lower part, for example pivoted about a pivot axis, and then the packaging containers are pushed out of the lower part and into the filling system.
  • the wall element can be separated from the lower part.
  • the wall element may be reversibly or irreversibly separable from the lower part. It is conceivable, for example, to form the wall element and the lower part in one piece and to provide a solid breaking point, which allows the one-time irreversible separation of the wall element from the lower part.
  • the wall element can also be detachably connectable to the lower part via a connection device in order to reversibly separate the wall element from the lower part and, if necessary, to connect it to this again.
  • the wall element and the lower part can thus be produced separately from one another and brought into engagement with one another only to form the device.
  • the complete release of the wall element has in particular the advantage that it can be completely removed and, for example, does not interfere with the transfer of the packaging container, in particular by pushing it out of the device into a filling installation.
  • the lower part wall and the floor are integrally formed. They thus form a unit, whereby the stability of the device can be increased overall.
  • the bottom is rectangular or substantially rectangular and if the lower part wall comprises at least three complete wall sections which project from side edges of the floor.
  • a cuboidal or substantially parallelepiped-shaped device can be formed overall, which, together with other, similar devices in larger packing units, which are also preferably parallelepipedic. mig are transported and stored with a minimum space requirement.
  • the wall element preferably completely closes a gap formed in the lower part wall. In this way, an all-round boundary of the interior can be achieved by the lower part and the upper part in the closed position. Furthermore, the interior is thus protected against the ingress of dirt and the like.
  • the wall element forms an end face of the lower part.
  • a sufficient stability can be ensured even after separation of the wall element to safely pass the packaging container from the device, for example, in a bottling plant.
  • the device comprises a connecting device for releasably connecting the wall element to the bottom and the lower part wall.
  • a connecting device for releasably connecting the wall element to the bottom and the lower part wall.
  • the connecting device can be formed if it comprises first and second cooperating connecting elements, which are arranged or formed on the one hand on the bottom and / or on the lower part wall and on the other hand on the wall element, and if the first and second connecting elements in a storage position, in which forms the wall element a part of the peripheral wall, non-positively and / or positively engage with each other.
  • the parts of the device to be joined together can be simply and safely connected to one another when the connecting device is designed in the form of a latching connection device and when the first and second connecting elements in the form of mutually engageable latching connection elements are formed.
  • the connecting device is designed in the form of a latching connection device and when the first and second connecting elements in the form of mutually engageable latching connection elements are formed.
  • a connecting device can be formed when the first and second connecting elements in the form of connecting projections and connecting recesses for at least partially receiving the connecting projections are formed.
  • the connection projections and connection recesses may optionally be arranged or formed on the wall element or on the bottom or the lower part wall. It is also conceivable, in particular, to provide both at least one connecting projection and at least one connecting recess on each of the said elements of the device.
  • the first and second connecting elements can be brought into engagement with one another in a connecting direction which is oriented transversely to a floor surface defined by the floor.
  • the connecting direction forms a surface normal of the bottom surface, that is perpendicular to this.
  • the bottom defines a flat, the interior bounding bottom surface.
  • the packaging container can slip out of the latter as a result of a corresponding inclination of the lower part of this after removal of the wall element, if so desired.
  • the bottom has a plurality of recesses, which are open in the direction of the interior facing out.
  • the depressions may in particular contribute to the stiffening of the bottom and thus of the lower part, on the other hand they also allow to absorb some moisture in the form of condensate after a sterilization of the device and to keep it away from the packaging containers stored in the device.
  • the majority of the recesses are formed between transversely extending webs defining the bottom surface.
  • a distance of the webs depends essentially in particular on how large the packaging containers are to be stored or transported in the device. It is preferably ensured that the packaging containers always rest with their base area at least on two adjacent webs, better on three or more webs.
  • the bottom surface extends up to the gap formed by the lower part.
  • the packaging container can be pushed directly through the gap, for example, in a filling system.
  • the lower part wall has an upper lower edge which points in the direction of the upper part and which is partially set back. Receded may mean, in particular, that recesses are formed at the bottom edge in the direction of the bottom. Thus, when viewed in the opposite direction, projections are formed which, for example, can be brought into engagement with corresponding recesses on the upper part in order to allow a defined closing of the device in the closed position.
  • the stability of the lower part can be further increased, it is advantageous if the lower part wall and / or the bottom of a plurality of beads include. These may be formed oriented perpendicularly and / or parallel to the bottom surface.
  • the device can be temporarily coupled to the filling installation in order, in particular, to manipulate the lower part after separation of the wall element so that the packaging containers can be transferred to the filling installation in a defined and desired manner, for example in FIG they slide in.
  • two or more retaining recesses are formed on each wall section.
  • the lower part can be grasped and held in a particularly simple and secure manner when each holding recess in the lower part wall is opened away from the inner space.
  • a projection protruding into the inner space may also be formed.
  • each holding recess comprises a boundary surface which is designed in the form of a cylindrical wall cutout.
  • the cylinder wall portion defines a cylinder axis oriented transverse to the bottom surface. It is favorable if it is oriented perpendicular to the bottom surface. In order to be able to grip the retaining recesses easily, it is favorable if a radius of curvature defined by the retaining recesses is at least three times as large as one of the beads is wide.
  • each retaining recess has a height which corresponds approximately to half the height of the lower part wall. So it is possible to maintain the stability of the lower part and in particular at the same time to allow a secure temporary coupling of the lower part with a filling system.
  • the device comprises a Wandelementabtrenn adopted for automatically separating the wall element of the bottom and lower part wall.
  • the wall element automatically, that is, for example, when engaging the device with a filling system, separate so as to pass the packaging container also automatically from the interior into the filling.
  • the wall element separating device can be formed if it comprises at least one separating element which can be brought from the storage position, in which the wall element forms part of the peripheral wall, into a separating position.
  • at least one separating element which can be brought from the storage position, in which the wall element forms part of the peripheral wall, into a separating position.
  • two separating elements are provided, which are arranged or formed symmetrically on the wall element.
  • these separating elements can be designed such that with appropriate gripping means of a filling the separating elements can be taken simply and safely to automatically separate the wall element from the bottom and the lower part wall.
  • the at least one separating element can be produced particularly simply if it is in the form of a flat flap-shaped projection.
  • the at least one separating element is movably arranged or formed on the wall element. Movable may mean in particular displaceable or pivotable.
  • the at least one separating element is pivotable relative to the wall element about a pivot axis extending transversely to the bottom surface. So it can be easily moved in different pivot positions.
  • the wall element can be produced in a particularly simple manner if the at least one separating element projects laterally from the latter in the separation position in the extension of the wall element.
  • the basic position of the wall element can simultaneously define the separation position.
  • the wall element can be produced in one piece with laterally projecting separating elements.
  • the at least one separating element in the closed position extends parallel to or substantially parallel to a wall section of the lower part wall adjoining the gap and / or bears against it.
  • it may be pivoted in the closed position by 90 ° relative to the separation position. In particular, it can be ensured that it does not project undefined from the device in the closed position and that accidental separation of the wall element can not occur inadvertently.
  • the upper part preferably comprises a circumferential upper part wall which points towards the lower part and, in the closed position, engages over the wall on all sides.
  • the top wall comprises two opposing top wall portions which are different heights, and if a Height of the upper part wall portion, which is arranged in the closed position in the region of the wall element, is greater than a height of the opposite upper part wall portion.
  • This embodiment has the advantage that the upper part can be partially raised, in particular in such a way that the wall element is essentially released, while still the upper part can completely overlap the lower part. In this way, the contents of the device, so in particular the packaging container stored therein, continue to be well protected, even if the wall element should already be separated.
  • the top wall at least partially overlaps the at least one separating element in the closed position, so that the at least one separating element is arranged in the closed position between the bottom wall and the top wall.
  • the separating element in the closed position is protected on the one hand and on the other hand it can be kept in the closed position as well by the upper part. In other words, it can not automatically go into the separation position.
  • a height of the upper part wall in the direction of the upper part wall section assigned to the wall element increases on those sides of the upper part on which the upper part wall engages over wall sections of the lower part wall adjoining the wall element.
  • a height of the wall element in the End ein associated upper wall portion is at least 50% greater than a height of the opposite upper wall portion.
  • the at least one separating element is designed such that the upper part wall can slide on the separation element during the transition from the storage position to the separation position and that the upper part thereby extends around a wall section opposite the wall element Swivel axis is pivotable.
