Definitions
- Condom package can be opened with one hand
- the invention relates to the field of condom packaging.
- condoms are packaged individually. Such packages usually comprise two sheets of flexible film welded together at their edges hermetically. The condom is housed inside. The package includes a notch cut on one edge, to facilitate the initiation of tearing for its opening. However, this involves both hands, one on each side of the notch to operate the opening.
- the document DE29707252 discloses a package for condoms having loops in which the thumb can be inserted on one side, and two fingers on the other, then by pulling, the package is torn starting from a notch, and opens.
- WO9220595 discloses a package for a condom comprising a fold line on one of the flexible films, and a break line on the other flexible film, so that when folding between the thumb and one or two fingers the package on the fold line, the break line breaks, and releases the condom.
- An object of the present invention is to provide a package for condoms that can be opened with one hand, and in addition that is easy to use, especially in the absence of lighting.
- the invention relates to a package for a condom comprising a housing and a film closing said housing.
- This package is particular in that it comprises a lid and a fixing of said rotatable lid on said housing, and an attachment of said film under said lid so that a rotation of said lid relative to said housing produces a removal of said film, thus opening the case.
- said film may comprise a tongue comprising said film attachment under said cover so that a rotation of said cover relative to said housing produces a spacing of said tongue and a removal of said film, thereby opening the housing; such a tab facilitates the removal of the film without tearing it,
- said film may be of a non-opaque plastic sheet, further reducing the cost of production; indeed the lid provides opacity for preserving the condom, it is not necessary that this function is also provided by the film; alternatively the film may be an opaque aluminum foil,
- said housing may comprise a recess in its base, arranged to house the index finger of the hand whose thumb operates the rotation of said cover; this arrangement further facilitates the opening of the package, avoiding the fingers to slide under the housing,
- said housing and said cover may be made of plastic material, allowing production at low cost, for example by molding for the housing and by cutting for the cover,
- said fixing may comprise a pivot disposed under said cover, and arranged to snap into a housing or a hole in said housing, thus allowing an easy way of assembling the cover and the housing,
- said pivot may be an integral part of the cover, having a top view of a shape of circular symmetry, and in section a shape of a dovetail, so as to form a sufficient attachment of the cover on the housing while allowing a rotation said cover relative to said housing;
- a pivot can for example be achieved by stamping the lid, cut into three or more tabs of the disk corresponding to the section of the pivot, and folding said tabs to allow clipping; it can also be a form of pivot realize in the frame of the molding of the lid,
- said cover may comprise a projection-shaped abutment towards said casing from an edge of said cover, so as to prevent rotation of the cover relative to said housing in one of two directions; this avoids rotation in the wrong direction, which would produce detachment of the film relative to the cover; this guarantees a reliable opening of the packaging according to the invention
- said cover may comprise a rough portion, arranged to prevent sliding of the thumb on the lid during the operation of rotation of the lid, thus making it even easier and accessible to all the operation of opening the package,
- said cover may comprise inscriptions, of an informative or advertising type, thus making it possible to reduce the cost of packaging for the consumer.
- the advantage of the present invention is that it provides a condom package that is easy to open with one hand, by a simple effort between the thumb and forefinger, and a rotational movement around a pivot.
- FIG. 1 represents an exploded perspective view of a package according to the invention in the closed position
- FIG. 2 represents a view from above of the package of FIG. 1 in the open position.
- the present invention relates to a package for a condom, comprising a housing 1 for placing the condom and a cover 2.
- the housing 1 comprises a flange 3.
- a film 4 for example aluminum, is glued or heat-welded on this rim 3 to seal the package, the condom being inside.
- This film 4 further comprises a tongue 5, which is an extension of the film 4 glued or heat-welded below the lid 2, so that when the lid 2 is pulled apart, the tongue 5 is driven in the movement of the lid 2
- a fastener 6 is disposed between the cover 2 and the housing 1, allowing a rotational movement of the cover 2 relative to the housing 1 to achieve the opening of the package.
- a recess 7 is disposed on the bottom of the housing 1, allowing to place a finger to proceed to the opening.
- This recess 7 is present to facilitate making the packaging in the hand.
- the index can be placed in the recess 7 and allow better grip of the package. The strength of the thumb is thus reinforced.
- This recess 7 also forms a hump inside the casing 1, and thus allows a guide for positioning the condom in said casing 1.
- the angles can be rounded at the tongue 5.
- the tongue 5 is preferably disposed about a quarter of a turn from the attachment 6, on the side where the opening is to begin, so that the opening begins with the portion of the film 4 extended by the tongue, and then continues with the rotation operated by the thumb.
- a stop 8 is disposed on an edge of the cover 2, preventing rotation of the cover 2 in one direction, so that the rotation of the cover 2 is only possible in one direction, that where the cover 2 causes the tab 5 and the film 4 towards its opening. Indeed if we opened the lid 2 in rotation in the other direction, it would be the tongue 5 which is removed from the lid 2, instead of the film 4 is removed from the housing 1.
- the housing 1 and the cover 2 are for example made of plastic, and the film 4 of an aluminum that can be glued or heat-welded, and complies with the standards necessary for the preservation of a condom, which implies that it is impermeable to UV , or opaque.
- the film 4 may be plastic also, the UV protection being provided by the cover 2 which has been colored plastic so as to make it opaque. This provides a simpler manufacturing method and a more moderate cost.
- the upper surface of the lid 2 may comprise a rough portion 9 (see Fig. 2) to prevent the thumb from sliding on the lid 2.
- This rough portion 9 can be achieved through a surface material, by adding grains to the surface of the lid 2, maintained by a varnish or a covering label, or directly in the forming of the lid 2 during its manufacture.
- Said label may further include inscriptions, either type of use or precautions of use, or advertising type.
- the attachment 6 may consist of a pivot 10, arranged under the cover 2, and engaging in a housing 1 1 of the housing 1, or at least in a bore disposed in the housing 1.
- the pivot 10 is circular in shape in plan view to allow rotation of the cover 2 relative to the housing 1, and in the form of a dovetail, possibly rounded, in sectional view, to allow sufficient holding of the pivot 10 in the housing 11 or the drilling, once it is clipped.
- the housing 11 may have a shape similar to the pivot, or in all a shape adapted for the pivot to come cling. Clipping is to press the pivot 10 against the housing 11 or drilling, causing elastic deformation of the pivot 10 and / or the housing 11 or drilling until the pivot 10 is in the housing 11 or drilling, where it resumes its original form.
- the holding force is then of the same order as the effort it took to clip it, such a force not being likely to occur, and the attachment 6 is therefore sufficient.
- the person skilled in the art knows perfectly how to design such a pivot 10 associated with a housing 11 or a piercing, and knows how to give them the appropriate forms so that the holding force is sufficient, without it being necessary here to detail it. advantage.
- the pivot 10 may be an insert, but according to a preferred embodiment, it may also be an integral part of the cover 2, and the housing 11 an integral part of the housing 1, which then allows a simplified industrial manufacturing, with a minimum of rooms:
- the advantage of the present invention lies in particular in that it provides a condom package that is easy to open with one hand, by a simple effort between the thumb and forefinger, and a movement of rotation around a pivot.
