Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the use of a container for storing contraceptive pills.
  • Tablets are usually sold in so-called blister packs.
  • Blister packs are product packs that allow the customer or buyer to see the packaged item.
  • the number of tablets per blister can vary depending on the indication and the size of the individual tablets.
  • tablets that need to be taken regularly are often provided in special blister packs that support compliance with a regular intake regime by means of printing, arrangement, etc.
  • An example of corresponding blister packs are tablet blisters for contraceptives.
  • blister packs usually have either 21 or 28 tablets.
  • the 21 tablets or the 21 tablets of the 28 tablets contain a combination of estrogen and progestin, resulting in a regular cycle by taking either no tablet or a drug-free tablet for 7 days after 21 days of tablet intake.
  • the last option is that - for the sake of simplicity - one pill is taken each day and the taking break does not inadvertently last longer than 7 days, which would eliminate protection from conception.
  • WO 2005/023657 A in which a container for a plurality of blister packs is described.
  • the blister packs are releasably fixed on a rail provided in the container.
  • Corresponding containers which as a rule consist of a plastic, are expensive to manufacture and relatively large, so they are considered unwieldy by the patients.

  • a container which comprises three interconnected tablet blisters and is formed from two rectangular cardboard strips, between which the three tablet blisters are arranged such that the rows of tablets are substantially parallel to each other, between the respective tablet blisters two folds are provided so that in the opened state the tablets blisters can be arranged side by side in the plane defined by the tablets blister and in the closed state the tablets blisters can be arranged vertically one above the other with substantially parallel alignment of the tablet blisters, each tablet blister four rows of tablet chambers each having seven tablet chambers and the rows are spaced apart from each other in such a way that between two adjacent rows, a numerical imprint can be attached or is.
  • the container may be opened or closed to remove a tablet from one of the tablet blisters.
  • the tablet blisters of the container can be in a plane defined by the rectangular shape of the container Tablets blister is clamped, can be arranged.
  • the open condition of the container is in the FIG. 1 shown during the closed state of the container in Figure 2c and FIG. 4 is shown.
  • the tablet blisters lie vertically one above the other with essentially parallel alignment of the tablet blisters.
  • the container comprises three tablet blisters which are arranged between the two cardboard strips. Two folds are respectively provided between the respective tablet blisters, so that in the opened state the tablet blisters can be arranged side by side in the plane defined by the tablet blister and in the closed state the tablet blisters can be arranged vertically one above the other with essentially parallel alignment of the tablet blisters.
  • the respective tablet blisters each have 28 tablet chambers for receiving tablets for contraception.
  • Each of the 28 tablet chambers of the three tablet blisters are arranged in 4 rows of 7 tablet chambers each.
  • the respective four rows of the three tablet blisters are spaced apart from each other in such a way that a numerical imprint can be placed on the upper cardboard strip between two respectively adjacent rows of tablet chambers of a tablet blister.
  • the individual tablet chambers of the first tablet blister be numbered 1 to 28.
  • the tablet chambers of the second tablet blister be numbered from 29 to 56.
  • the tablet chambers of the third tablet blister be numbered 57-84.
  • tablet blisters are used in the container.
  • Corresponding tablet blisters are known per se to the person skilled in the art and usually comprise an aluminum-containing cover film provided with an adhesive layer, and a base film or thermoforming film, usually made of PVC, in which the tablet chambers are formed by deep drawing.
  • FIGS. 1 and 3 show a container 1 in the open state.
  • FIG. 2 shows the closing of the container 1 from the open state FIG. 2a about a folded state FIG. 2b to a closed state Figure 2c ,
  • FIG. 4 shows a closed container 1 with staggered tablet chambers 11 in the blisters 3 and 4.
