Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a housing for the individual handling and storage, or storage or storage of a container, including a cylindrical container containing a pharmaceutical product and / or medical use.
  • a tube containing a product with homeopathic effect is a non-limiting example of such a container, such a tube being also called "granule tube or dose homeopathic granule according to its dimensions.
  • the invention relates to any type of cylindrical container such as a bottle or a bulb.
  • a very large quantity of pharmaceutical products and for example the so-called "homeopathic" products, are distributed and marketed in generally cylindrical containers of rigid or semi-rigid material, and mainly of plastic or glass.
  • FIG. 1 and 2 Two examples of tubes are illustrated in Figures 1 and 2 which correspond to two types of tubes of different sizes, namely a small PT tube illustrated in FIG. figure 1 and a big GT tube shown at the figure 2 .
  • Each tube here is generally cylindrical in shape with a circular cross-section and consists essentially of a body 10 and a complementary closure cap 12, which are aligned along the axis A-A of the tube.
  • Each container here in the form of a cylindrical tube PT, GT is delimited laterally by a lateral face 14 of axial orientation and transversely by two transverse faces.
  • opposed, generally planar and disk-shaped, 16 and 18 each of which extends in a plane orthogonal to the axis AA.
  • the transverse wall 16 constitutes the bottom of the tube, while the transverse wall 18 belongs to the removable or removable cap 12 allowing access to the contents of the tube.
  • these tubes and in particular the small tubes PT comprise, in each of their opposite end faces 16 and 18, a hollow central housing 22 and 24.
  • these tubes are of small dimensions with their total length L equal to 46 mm for the small tube PT and equal to 67 mm for the large tube GT, their largest transverse dimension, here their diameter D, being equal to 10 mm and 15 mm respectively.
  • each container on a shelf, or in a channel or chute of a dispensing machine is particularly complex.
  • pharmacies for the automated processing and handling of products and drugs to be distributed to customers and patients, are generally designed for packaging or containers of rectangular parallelepiped general shape allowing particular gripping easy by a clamp of a robot and their pose or storage him also easy on a flat face providing great stability.
  • the document EP-A1-2.119.642 describes and shows a housing for the individual manipulation by means of a robot arm clamp, and / or for storage, of a cylindrical container, of rigid or semi-rigid material, for example of a tube containing a product homeopathic effect, the container being delimited externally by at least one lateral face of axial orientation, the housing being delimited by a bottom wall, horizontal plane of axial orientation and rectangular contour and, at each axial end of the housing, by a pair of opposing and vertical side wall sections each extending axially along an associated side edge of the bottom wall, whereby the housing has a generally rectangular parallelepipedal shape having an open top face to allow the introduction and the housing of a container in a supine position and stored inside the housing, and presents retaining means of the re cipient.
  • the aim of the invention is to propose a design of such a type of housing that makes it possible in particular to adapt to the different ranges of dimensions of containers, and in particular tubes containing products with homeopathic effect.
  • the housing 30 illustrated in the figures has a double general design symmetry according to the two vertical planes of longitudinal symmetry PLV and transverse PTV shown in FIG. figure 5 .
  • the housing 30 is here made by plastic molding in one piece so as to constitute a reusable component.
  • the housing may be made of cardboard or folded paper to form a reusable component or a disposable component after use.
  • the housing 30 comprises a main bottom wall 32, of horizontal orientation, or bottom plate, of rectangular contour delimited by two parallel longitudinal edges 34 and by two parallel transverse edges 36.
  • the bottom wall 32 is also delimited by a flat horizontal top face 38 and an opposite bottom face 40 having certain recesses inherent to the molding technique.
  • the housing 30 has a transverse wall 42 which extends vertically upwards from an edge 36 of the bottom wall 32.
  • the housing 30 has a pair of opposed sections 44 of opposite side walls.
  • Each sidewall section 44 extends vertically upwardly from the longitudinal edge 34, in the direction L, and over a reduced length so as to provide an open area without a side wall, in the central portion of the housing 30 and about half of its total length. This unobstructed area makes it easier to handle the cylindrical containers and also reads the labels or markings on the side wall of the container.
  • the height of the transverse walls 42 and lateral wall sections 44 is equal in such a way that the set of their upper edge 46 is coplanar and extends in a plane parallel to that of the lower face 40 of the bottom plate 32.
  • the housing 30, of generally rectangular parallelepipedal shape is thus capable of being handled by gripping by means of a clamp cooperating with pairs of parallel and opposite outer plane faces and / or with portions of such faces constituted by the sections of the free upper edge 46 of the vertical walls of the housing 30.
  • the manipulation can also be performed by means of a suction or suction system which cooperates with an outer flat surface portion of the housing such as a face 42.
  • the upper face of the housing 30 is generally open vertically upwards and is delimited by the plane common to the upper edge 46 of the transverse walls 42 and longitudinal wall sections 44.
  • the housing 30 is adapted to receive individually, axially or longitudinally recumbent and row, two different types of containers, here a small PT tube, or a large GT tube.
  • the housing 30 To allow the retention in the stowed position of a tube inside the housing 30, it comprises means which cooperate with the corresponding tube, these means being of general design in the form of at least one clamp, elastically deformable , exerting a clamping force which cooperates with the outer surface of the tube.
  • the upper face 38 has in relief two bearing surfaces 48 concave in a cylinder arc adapted to cooperate with the axial side wall 14 of a small tube PT.
  • the upper face 38 of the bottom wall 32 has a concave bearing surface in a cylinder arc, each of which is made in two parts 50 each of which is formed at the upper end of a stud 52 which extends vertically projecting, the bearing surfaces 50 constituting, as the bearing surfaces 48, a cradle adapted to cooperate with the axial side face 14 of the associated tube , here a big GT tube.
  • the surfaces 48 allow to provide a slight gap between the face 38 and the side wall of the PT tube facilitating the gripping of the tube.
  • the housing 30 comprises an elastically deformable clamp constituted by two jaws 54 opposite longitudinally.
  • Each jaw 54 is in the form of a tab 56 of general vertical and transverse orientation which extends vertically upwards from the upper face 38 and whose upper free end is shaped into a hook 58 which is oriented longitudinally to "inside", the two hooks 58 thus being oriented towards each other.
  • the position and dimensioning of the jaws 54 are such that each is able to cooperate, with a longitudinal clamping effect in the axial direction of a small tube PT, each with a transverse face 16 or 18 of a small tube PT.
  • each hook 58 is adapted to be received within such a housing further improving the positioning and retention of the small tube PT.
  • the establishment of a small PT tube between the jaws 54 is performed by introducing it in the vertical direction with its axis AA oriented in the longitudinal direction L, then applying a thrust force downwards to remove, by elastic deformation, the jaws 54 until the abutment of the axial side wall 14 of the small tube PT on the cradle constituted by the bearing surfaces 48.
  • a small tube PT is thus in a lying position and stored in the housing 30 as illustrated for example in FIG. figure 4 .
  • the housing 30 for the retaining in supine and row position of a large GT tube, the housing 30 comprises two deformable forceps elastically offset longitudinally.
  • Each of these two resiliently deformable clamps comprises two jaws 60 transversely opposed.
  • Each jaw 60 is in the form of a plate 62 which extends generally in a longitudinal plane and vertically from the upper face 38 with its upper free end having two tabs 64 forming hooks.
  • the jaws 60 in pairs, are dimensioned and positioned so as to cooperate with the axial lateral face 14 of a large tube GT to hold it elastically in position on its cradle formed by the concave bearing surfaces 50 as can be seen in FIG. see to the figure 10 .
  • the inner face of the plates 62, in line with the hooks 64, is concavely cylindrical in shape complementary to the external profile of the axial lateral face 14 of a large GT tube, as can be seen also in FIG. the figure 10 .
  • each hook 58, 64 is chamfered so as to provide a ramping effect facilitating the elastic spacing of the corresponding jaws when applying a thrust force vertically downward on the body 10 of a tube in contact with these hooks.
  • a housing 30 thus makes it possible to house a PT tube or a GT tube in the manner of a conventional packaging of rectangular parallelepipedal general shape for its easy handling and storage, particularly in the context of automated and / or automated robot management. a pharmacy dispensary.
  • the housing 30 is made in one piece by plastic molding, it can be reused almost indefinitely, each tube being removed from its housing 30 at the time of delivery to the customer or patient, then recycle in the product storage cycle in the pharmacy.
  • the housings 30 can be implemented at the reception of the products in tubes in the pharmacy dispensary, that is to say during the delivery of homeopathic effect products by a manufacturer or a distributor, the design according to the The invention can also allow the automated introduction of a PT tube or GT tube in a housing 30.
  • the housings 30 can also be used by manufacturers or distributors who then deliver the tube products with each tube previously in place in an associated housing 30.
  • the invention is not limited to the use for tubes. It can be used to manipulate the bulbs which are then retained by their cylindrical side wall.
  • a bottle or a bottle, depending on its dimensions can be retained by their side wall or by their faces end crosspieces belonging to the bottom and the closing cap or closure.
  • the housing 30 may carry a label with a "barcode” identifying the housing in order to automatically identify a housing and / or the container it contains.
  • the label or the marking of a barcode can be replaced by a label called "RFID"
