Description

The invention relates to child-resistant packaging, in particular pharmaceutical packaging, comprising at least one blister card, the blister card comprising two films, one of which is designed as a carrier film with at least one blister cavity for receiving packaged goods, in particular for receiving a pharmaceutical active ingredient formulation such as a tablet and forms a top side of the blister card, and the other film is designed as a push-through cover film, the cover film being at least partially connected to the carrier film leaving the at least one blister cavity free and at least partially forming an underside of the blister card opposite the top side, as well as the cover film at least one blister cavity filled with packaged goods closes.

A wide variety of packaging designs that are considered child-resistant and / or senior-friendly are already known from the prior art. According to DIN EN 14375 in its current version of September 2016, non-resealable packaging for pharmaceutical products is considered "child-resistant" in Europe if at least 85% of a test group of toddlers between 42 and 51 months are unable to respond within ten minutes to gain access to more than eight of at least ten dose units presented, for example tablets, capsules or dragees. The pack is considered senior-friendly if at least 90% of a test group of adults gain access to at least one of the dose units in the one-minute test.

The relevant provisions in the USA, which are laid down there in the "Poisons Prevention Packaging Act" (PPPA), are, however, comparatively much stricter. There, children are not allowed to gain access to a dose that can cause serious damage with "child-resistant" packaging. In extreme cases, this can be possible with the removal of just one tablet or one dose unit.

For example, the DE 20 2004 003 781 U1 a child-proof, rectangular packaging made of two interconnected foils, with a flat closure area including at least one receiving space for a product. To open and remove the product, for example a tablet, the receiving space is opened along a marked weakening line or by removing an edge section of the foils.

Likewise shows the DE 10 2004 062 864 A1 a foil container with two interconnected foils and with receiving chambers for a product, at least one of the foils being provided with markings for tearing open the foils. The marking is released after the foils are kinked, whereupon the contents can be removed from the foil container by tearing open the foils.

A disadvantage of these known types of tear-open packaging is at least that the production of films with tear-open sections, which are usually designed as metal foils, is expensive. Furthermore, it cannot be ruled out in the case of such tear-open packs that several dose units can be withdrawn from small children at the same time, which is why such tear-open packs are not considered "child-resistant", at least in the USA.

In addition, so-called wallet packaging is already known from the prior art. For example, show the documents DE 20 2006 007 553 U1 , DE 44 29 503 C2 such as EP 2 055 649 A1 Packaging in which blister packs serve as blister strips or blister cards as primary packaging for the packaged goods and these are connected to secondary packaging, for example made of folding cardboard. For childproof protection, for example, tablets are located as packaged goods in a manner known per se in the cavities of a blister strip or a blister card, welded inside a folding box or cardboard box. For this purpose, the blister cards can be, for example, glued, sealed, riveted or fixed with labels to the outer secondary packaging, or, alternatively, they can be inserted into compartments in the secondary packaging so that they can be removed. For child safety, the outer secondary packaging, mostly in the form of folding boxes, is designed in such a way that access to the blister cards on the inside is difficult, depending on the design.

Even with such wallet packaging, it cannot be ruled out that small children can also remove several dose units from the blister cards on the inside after opening the outer folding box packaging. In addition, the production of such multi-layer packaging with different packaging materials is complex.

Blister packs for pharmaceuticals such as tablets, capsules and coated tablets have been known for a long time and must be visually appealing and safe to use. The term blister packaging is usually understood to be a visual packaging, i.e. product packaging that allows the customer or buyer to see the packaged goods.

Blister packs are widely used for packaging active pharmaceutical ingredient formulations such as tablets. Such packagings are also called push-through packs and are usually produced in the form of strips or cards. A blister card or a blister strip usually comprises two foils, one of which is usually made of transparent plastic. Individual depressions, so-called blister cavities, are formed in the carrier film, into which the packaged goods, mostly individual dose units of tablets, capsules or dragees, are filled and which are sealed with a cover film made of aluminum, for example. For example, deep-drawn plastic trays with an aluminum cover film sealed on the back are used to pack the tablets.

Such blister packs offer several advantages over glass or plastic bottles. They are more hygienic, depending on the film materials used, undesirable influences such as high humidity or dirt can be excluded with such blister packs and it is also easier to identify the remaining number of dose units in the pack. Special blisters also allow the consumption plan to be shown on the packaging. For example, the packaging of many birth control pills is printed with days of the week. This not only makes it possible to monitor the intake, but also allows different tablets to be reliably assigned to the days of the menstrual cycle.

In addition to the primary packaging task, blister packs that are "child-proof" must, however, also be designed for the elderly, whereby the requirements of these two user groups are contrary to each other. On the other hand, child-resistant packaging to protect small children can represent an insurmountable obstacle for seniors.

For example, so-called “peel-push blisters” are used, in which blister packs are additionally equipped with peelable (peelable) security films that are “childproof”. The peelable films must first be peeled off the cover films as a push-through protection before the corresponding dose can be pushed out of the packaging through the cover film. However, older people often find it difficult to be able to grip and remove such removable security films.

Another disadvantage of previously known blister packs is that blind people cannot distinguish which drug is involved on the basis of the blister card. However, this problem is not unique to the blind or visually impaired. Usually, the product and company name of the drug is printed on the sealing layer of a blister card, i.e. on the cover film, which is usually an aluminum foil. As soon as several dose units have been removed from the blister card by pressing through the cover sheet, the imprint with the name of the drug is usually no longer or only difficult to recognize, which increases the risk of undesirable mix-ups.

Another disadvantage of conventional blister packs is that the dose units are usually pushed out of the blister pack into the patient's hand or onto a surface such as a table top by pushing them through. One or more withdrawn dose units, for example tablets, can, however, fall to the floor in an undesirable manner, which is particularly problematic for older people. In addition, manual removal is usually not hygienically possible. This applies in particular to people who have to take tablets at certain time intervals during their working hours and cannot wash their hands to do so. For example, construction workers or tradespeople may have to take tablets from conventional drug packaging and attack them with contaminated hands.

It is therefore the object of the present invention to provide child-proof packaging, in particular child-proof pharmaceutical packaging, which at the same time is also senior-friendly and avoids the described disadvantages of the prior art.

This object is achieved in a child-resistant packaging according to the preamble of claim 1 with the features of the characterizing part of claim 1. The subclaims relate to further advantageous embodiments of the invention.

In a child-resistant packaging according to the invention, in particular in a pharmaceutical packaging according to the invention which comprises at least one blister card, the blister card comprising two films, one of which is a carrier film with at least one blister cavity for receiving packaged goods, in particular for receiving a pharmaceutical active ingredient formulation such as a Tablet, is designed and forms an upper side of the blister card, and the other film is designed as a push-through cover film, the cover film being at least partially connected to the carrier film leaving the at least one blister cavity free and at least in sections forming an underside of the blister card opposite the top, as well as the cover film closes the at least one blister cavity filled with packaged goods, is at least one underlay card on two opposite side edges or on two opposite edge sections of the blister card e movably attached and this underlay card is configured to lie flat, at least in sections, on the underside of the blister card in a securing position and to secure the enclosed packaged goods against unintentional removal and against the cover film being pushed through, the underlay card being pressed against each other by an external force two packaging sections that are opposite one another and are spaced apart from one another can be reversibly transferred from the securing position into a removal position, with the latter being fixed by the action of external forces Removal position, the at least one card is spaced from the underside of the blister card to form a packaging interior having at least one packaged goods removal opening, wherein in the removal position the packaged goods are released into the packaging interior by pressing the cover film through and removed from the packaging interior through the at least one packaged goods removal opening can.

With such a packaging, access to the packaged goods, in particular to a packaged pharmaceutical active ingredient formulation such as a tablet, is advantageously blocked, since the packaging is designed in such a way that small children use the opposite packaging sections that are required to transfer the packaging from the secured position to the removal position have to be pressed together with one hand in opposite directions and cannot be grasped with one hand. For this purpose, the two packaging sections lying opposite one another, which have to be pressed together, are advantageously too far apart for a small child to be able to do this with one hand. The packaging is designed in such a way that it is sufficiently rigid only in the removal position that is fixed during the action of an external force by pressing the same against each other, so that in this removal position the packaged goods or a tablet can be removed from a blister cavity by pressing through the cover film of the blister card. Simultaneous two-handed operation of the packaging is therefore required in any case. With one hand, the packaging must be brought into the removal position by squeezing it and fixed in this position, so that one or more packaged goods units can be pushed through the corresponding blister cavities into the interior of the packaging with the other free hand.

Two hand movements have to be carried out at the same time, which is practically impossible for small children in the test age of 42 to 51 months specified in accordance with DIN EN 14375 due to their motor skills and the size of their children's hands. By suitable selection of the distances between the pressure points on the opposite packaging sections, which have to be pressed together with one hand for reversible fixing of the removal position, in order to be able to push the packaged goods through the blister card with the second hand at the same time, certain age groups of small children can depend on individual requirements from a possible access to the contents of the packaging or to the packaged goods. When designing the packaging according to the invention, care must therefore be taken to ensure that the distances between the pressure points on the opposite packaging sections to compress them are sufficiently far apart so that children's hands cannot press them together with one hand.

Particularly flexible can be achieved by suitable selection of these dimensions, i.e. the distances between the pressure points on the opposite packaging sections of the packaging according to the invention, as well as by suitable selection of blister cover films known per se, with which the penetration force for pressing through or removing the packaged goods can be varied, the packaging according to the invention can also be adapted particularly flexibly to the respectively applicable safety regulations. For example, it is possible, for child-resistant packaging in accordance with the current requirements of the PPPA in the USA, to design the packaging according to the invention in such a way that small children cannot open this packaging with their hands without the aid of external tools. At the same time, however, tests with prototypes of the packaging according to the invention have shown that seniors in nursing homes as test subjects had no problems grasping the packaging with one hand and squeezing it so that it was fixed in its removal position and the seniors in them As is known, you could remove individual tablets from the blister cards of the packaging with the other hand. Furthermore, the term blister card chosen here is synonymous with the also common name of a blister strip as a blister pack for individual packaged goods such as tablets.

Depending on the choice of material and the layer structure of the blister cover films, it is possible, for example, to vary the push-through force for pushing through or removing the packaged goods in a range between approximately 20 N and 120 N. These penetration forces were determined in tests with a so-called Pharma Pin with a diameter of 10.5 mm. Depending on the product to be packaged or depending on the hazard potential of the active pharmaceutical ingredients in the packaged goods, at least two parameters are thus available for the particularly flexible and individual design of a safety-compliant packaging according to the invention.

All materials known from the prior art can be used as blister foils. The carrier film and the cover film can be constructed from one or more layers. The cover film is connected to the carrier film in a sealed manner, for example by gluing, welding or sealing. Typical materials used for the carrier film are, for example, plastics such as polyamide (PA), polyester (UP), polycarbonate (PC), polypropylene (PP), polyethylene (PE), polyvinyl chloride (PVC) or corresponding copolymers. For example, composite materials such as one or more plastic films with paper or cardboard layers can also be used as the carrier film. Metal foils such as aluminum foils or aluminum composite foils made of aluminum and, for example, a plastic are used as the cover foil. Likewise, for example, composite foils vapor-deposited with aluminum or laminated paper foils can be used as cover foils. The at least one document card, which rests on the underside of the at least one or more blister cards filled with packaged goods as a child-proof removal protection in the security position of the packaging, can optionally be composed of one or more layers. The base card can expediently be constructed from the same material or - in the case of a multilayer structure - from the same materials from which the at least one blister card is made. It is also possible within the scope of the invention for the base card to be made from a different material than the materials used to construct the blister cards.

In a simple embodiment, a single-layer or single-layer reinforcement layer, for example made of a transparent plastic with appropriate rigidity, can be used as the base card. Likewise, within the scope of the invention, the underlay card can be designed as a multilayer reinforcement plate.

In a further preferred embodiment, the base card can also be a further blister card which is arranged opposite to the first blister card and movably attached to the blister card and in which the push-through cover films are oriented toward an inner packaging interior. Thus, on the outside of the packaging, robust carrier films are arranged on their outer surfaces, which protect the packaged goods from the outside.

In the context of the invention, the concept of an underlay card, depending on the design of the packaging, is therefore to be understood as a flat reinforcing layer or reinforcing plate approximately the same size as one or more blister cards, which can be constructed in one or more layers. A base card can be formed, for example, from a carrier film, which is also provided for the blister card, or can optionally also be a blister card itself with the corresponding blister cavities for receiving packaged goods.

The underlay card serves as underlay means or as a protective means to protect the cover film of the blister card and is intended to prevent the cover film of the blister card from being pushed through or damaged in the secured position of the packaging. The base card thus acts like a cover card for covering or protecting the opposite cover film on the underside of the blister card assigned to it. In contrast to the known peelable (peelable) security films mentioned above, which are glued directly to the cover films to protect them and have to be removed from these cover films, the base card forms a separate part from the cover film to be protected of the associated, opposite blister card the packaging. In the securing position, the underlay card rests against the cover film arranged opposite, but does not adhere to it. The document card can be pressed together in the removal position of the packaging - depending on the design of the packaging - in a spaced from the cover film Position moved, shifted, pivoted, folded and / or pivoted. Advantageously, it is not necessary to pull or detach the base card from the cover film. The interior packaging space, which is enclosed by the one or more blister cards and one or more base cards, offers the advantage that packaged goods such as a tablet, which is in the Fixed removal position was pushed out of the corresponding blister cavity by pressing the cover film through, first enters the packaging interior and can be removed from the packaging interior through a removal opening.

This advantageously prevents a tablet from a conventional blister pack from having to be pressed onto an external surface such as a table and being lost in the process. Furthermore, by appropriately designing the product removal opening, it can be designed in such a way that, for example, a tablet can be poured from the interior of the packaging directly into the patient's mouth without having to be touched by hand.

According to the invention, the underlay card can be reversibly transferred from the securing position to a removal position by an external force effect by means of opposing compression of two opposite and spaced-apart packaging sections. This means that the packaging is designed in such a way that at least one document card can be used alone or in combination with at least one corresponding blister card or with other document cards through the action of external force by pressing together with the hand of the operator who wants to open the packaging the securing position can be transferred to the removal position. This movement transition is reversible as a back and forth movement between the securing position - without external force acting on the spaced-apart packaging sections - and the removal position - during the external force acting on the spaced-apart packaging sections. Depending on the design and application of the packaging, the corresponding two opposite and spaced-apart packaging sections can for example be color-coded and / or have a structural or haptic design such as embossing, corrugation or knobs.

Depending on the design and design of the packaging, it may be necessary, after a dose unit of the packaged goods has been pushed through into the interior of the packaging, the packaging being fixed in its removal position by being compressed, and then reaching around the packaging again to empty the interior of the packaging. This can be the case, for example, when side flaps have to be pressed together on the narrow sides in order to transfer the packaging from its secured position to its removal position. In order to empty the interior of the packaging, however, it can then be provided that the side flaps must be opened on a narrow side, which can make it necessary to reach around the packaging again. This further, additional handling step can further improve the manipulation protection of the packaging against inadvertent actuation by small children.

As a result of the movable fastening of the at least one base card on two opposite side edges or on two opposite edge sections of the blister card, these packaging sections are coupled to one another in terms of movement.

The packaging according to the invention is in no way restricted to the accommodation of packaged goods with active pharmaceutical ingredients, that is to say to pharmaceutical packaging. Likewise, any units of packaged goods can be stored in a packaging according to the invention which are, for example, so small that they are dangerous for small children due to their size and can be swallowed by small children. In addition to nutritional supplements, chewing gum or chewing tablets such as nicotine chewing gum, small electronic parts, spare parts, tool inserts, disposable dosing instruments, disposable needles and the like, which can also be stored securely in packaging according to the invention, are just examples. For example, it can be advantageous if, for example, spare parts for e-cigarettes or for LED lights, which are very small and can be swallowed by small children, are kept child-proof in a packaging according to the invention.

Furthermore, the assignment of certain terms with regard to a location, a position or an orientation, such as "horizontal", "vertical", "in the horizontal direction", "in the vertical direction", "above", "below", "inside", "outside", "front", "below", "above" etc. are chosen only for the sake of simplicity and this information may relate to the representation in the drawings, but not necessarily to a use or storage position of the packaging according to the invention . In order to make it clear that when the packaging according to the invention is used as intended, the cover foils of the blister cards to be protected are each oriented inwards towards the interior of the packaging, the undersides of the blister cards covered at least in sections with the cover foils correspond to the insides of the blister cards in relation to the interior of the packaging.

It can be particularly expedient if, in a packaging according to the invention, the at least one base card comprises a carrier film or is formed from a carrier film.

As already mentioned above, the backing card serves in any case as mechanical protection for the blister card in order to protect the packaged goods or the tablets from unintentional removal as a result of being pushed through the cover film. For this purpose, in a particularly simple and inexpensive variant of the invention, at least one base card made of a carrier film or such a carrier film can be movably attached to the blister card. This underlay card comprising a carrier film is configured to lie flat against the underside of the blister card at least in sections in a securing position and to secure the enclosed packaged goods against unintentional removal and against the cover film being pushed through.

In a packaging according to the invention, the at least one blister card and the at least one base card can each be designed in the form of rectangles, with the base card each being attached to two opposite side edges or to two opposite edge sections of the long sides of the blister card.

In this variant of the invention, the blister cavities for receiving packaged goods units can be arranged in rows or in a matrix according to the size of the rectangular blister card. The at least one base card is expediently also designed in a rectangular shape and has essentially the same dimensions as the corresponding blister card for whose protection the base card is provided. The two cards are movably attached to one another along their opposite long sides. Depending on the design, the two cards can be fastened to one another directly at their long side edges or along edge sections along their long side edges. Packing goods that have already been pressed out of the blister cavities are removed from the interior of the packaging between the blister card and the corresponding support card in the removal position of the packaging on one of its narrow sides.

In an advantageous further development of the invention, the at least one base card can be movably attached to two opposite edge sections of the blister card by means of connecting tabs, preferably with a plurality of serially arranged connecting webs.

In this embodiment, the interior of the packaging is laterally limited by the movable connecting straps or connecting webs. These connecting straps or connecting webs are arranged in such a way that they enable a reversible translational movement or relative movement in the longitudinal direction of the blister card and the corresponding base card between the securing position and the removal position of the packaging.

In a packaging according to the invention, at least one labeling tab can particularly advantageously be attached to the blister card and / or the base card.

Thanks to the at least one labeling tab on the packaging, the imprint, for example the product and / or company name of the packaged goods or the drug, can be easily read at any time. The labeling can also be in Braille, for example, so that blind or visually impaired people can recognize which packaged product or drug is involved, directly from the packaging and regardless of the level of dose units or packaged goods units that have already been removed. The labeling tab can be attached to the packaging on one or both sides.

For example, information on the removal intervals of the packaged dose units can be printed on one or more labeling tabs that are directly connected to the blister card and / or the support card.

It is also provided within the scope of the invention that one or more labeling tabs can be printed or embossed in order to be able to design the packaging with individual information on removal intervals.

It can be advantageous if, in a packaging according to the invention, the at least one labeling tab is attached to a side edge or to an edge section of the blister card and projects beyond the blister card.

In this version, the one or more protruding labeling tabs are not only particularly easy to read, but they can also be designed in such a way that the compression of the packaging, i.e. the transfer from the safety position to the removal position of the packaging, continues for children's hands through these labeling tabs is made more difficult. This can be achieved, for example, by roughened and / or jagged sections on the outer edges of the labeling flaps, which are uncomfortable for toddlers to grasp with small children's hands and which consequently prevent compression on these packaging sections.

A packaging according to the invention can be designed to be particularly safe to use if the side of the interior of the packaging opposite the packaging material removal opening can be closed with a closure flap.

In this embodiment variant, the packaged goods or a tablet can be removed from the interior of the packaging exclusively through a packaged goods removal opening. Unintentional removal or falling out of the packaged goods from the interior of the packaging can thus be successfully prevented.

In a further advantageous embodiment variant of the packaging according to the invention, the at least one packaged goods removal opening of the packaging interior can be equipped with a Closing flap be equipped lockable. In this version of the packaging, the closure flap of the packaged goods removal opening must also be opened in order to be able to remove the packaged goods already located in the interior of the packaging, which further increases the security of the packaged goods against loss.

In a packaging according to the invention, the at least one backing card can be a further blister card with a carrier film, with at least one blister cavity for receiving packaged goods, in particular for receiving a pharmaceutical active ingredient formulation such as a tablet, and with a cover film, with the at least one further Blister card is arranged so that its carrier film forms an outer surface of the packaging and the cover film is oriented towards the interior of the packaging.

This packaging design offers the advantage that at least one further blister card is used as a base card to protect the at least one “first” blister card. Thus, at least two blister cards are arranged opposite to one another and, in the secured position, mutually protect their cover films lying one against the other from inadvertently pushing the packaged goods out of the blister cavities. This embodiment is particularly economical since the further blister card, in its function as a base card, can be constructed from the same material or the same materials as the at least one “first” blister card. Depending on the design of the packaging according to the invention, it is possible that no preferred arrangement or position of the at least one "first" blister card and the one or more additional blister cards that serve as base cards can be seen on the packaging. In this preferred embodiment, the interconnected blister cards can, for example, be configured identically and / or arranged symmetrically with respect to a packaging axis and / or a packaging plane. A further advantage is offered by such a packaging in which two or more blister cards are provided, since as many dose units as possible of the goods to be packaged can be packed in a small packaging space in the blister cards.

In a packaging according to the invention, the blister cavities filled with the packaged goods of two blister cards lying against one another can be arranged congruently one above the other in a particularly expedient manner. In this embodiment, the blister cavities of two corresponding blister cards, which are in the secured position of the packaging with their cover foils, lie congruently one above the other. In this embodiment of the packaging, particularly secure storage of the packaged goods, which are protected against inadvertent pressing through of the cover films, can be made possible.

As an alternative to this, it can also be provided within the scope of the invention that in the securing position the blister cavities filled with packaged goods are mutually aligned adjacent blister cards are each arranged offset to one another. In this embodiment of the packaging, the packaged goods can also be reliably protected against unintentional pressing through of the cover films.

In a particularly elegant design of the packaging according to the invention, the packaging can be designed in the form of a cushion, the two outer surfaces of the packaging either being formed by a first blister card and a further blister card with packaged goods filled in blister cavities or alternatively by a blister card and an opposing base card without packaged goods, which are connected to one another at two opposite side edges of the blister card, the side edges forming the long sides of the packaging, and locking tabs that overlap in opposite directions are fastened to the opposite narrow sides of the blister cards.

The oppositely overlapping closure flaps on the narrow sides of the packaging can advantageously serve as first and second opposing and spaced-apart packaging sections which have to be pressed together in opposite directions to fix the cushioned packaging in its removal position. In the secured position, the packaging is essentially flat and the two outer surfaces or outer sides lie against one another with their inner sides. When the narrow sides of the packaging are pressed together, the packaging arches up in the shape of a cushion and, in the removal position, forms a packaging interior which has an approximately oval cross-section. The closing flaps on the narrow sides of the packaging are also appropriately cut to be oval and rounded.

Another shapely packaging variant according to the invention can be designed as a straight prism with an even number of outer surfaces, the outer surfaces being formed by one or more blister cards with packaged goods filled in blister cavities or alternatively by at least one blister card and one or more base cards without packaged goods which are connected in a row at their opposite side edges and form the long sides of the packaging.

For example, four, six or eight blister cards or alternatively also backing cards without packaged goods can be put together in strips as the outer surfaces of a straight prism. The blister cards and / or backing cards are connected to the respective adjacent blister cards and / or backing cards at their long side edges. To increase the mobility of the blister cards and / or backing cards arranged next to one another in strips, their longitudinal side edges can be designed as folded edges and / or have perforations for weakening the material of the carrier films.

Depending on the requirements placed on the packaging, individual, several or all of the outer surfaces of the packaging prism can be designed as blister cards and have the same or different numbers of blister cavities. For example, in the case of a six-sided prism, every second outer surface can be designed as a strip-shaped blister card with blister cavities, with the outer sides provided between two blister cards alternately being designed as base cards without blister cavities.

In a packaging according to the invention, a distance between opposite packaging sections in the securing position can particularly advantageously be greater than a distance between the same opposite packaging sections in the removal position. As already stated above, suitable dimensioning of the packaging dimensions can ensure that the distance between opposing packaging sections in the securing position, which must be compressed to transfer the packaging, for example by moving, shifting, folding and / or pivoting into the removal position, is sufficiently large is so that these two packaging sections cannot be grasped by a small child's hand.

Since in this embodiment the distance between the same opposing packaging sections in the removal position is smaller than in the securing position, seniors or blind or visually impaired persons can easily see in which of the two reversible positions the packaging is currently located. The user-friendliness of the packaging is advantageously further increased in this way.

For example, it can be useful for child-proof packaging if the distance between opposing packaging sections in the secured position is at least 8 cm, preferably at least 10 cm. These securing distances in the securing position between the opposite packaging sections, which have to be pressed together in order to transfer the packaging into its removal position, appear to be sufficiently large for the hands of small children based on the current knowledge of the applicant. Seniors should, however, be able to grasp these safety distances with the span of one hand.

The following general description of the figures generally relates to all of the figures shown. In the following, the same reference symbols are used for the same or comparable elements of the packaging for the different embodiments.

In the Figures 1 to 7 different configurations of each cushion-shaped packaging 1 are shown, which each have two outer surfaces 2 or outer sides 2 of the packaging 1, which are connected to one another along the longitudinal sides 3 of the packaging 1. Closure flaps are arranged on the opposite narrow sides 4 and the opposite narrow sides 4 are identified as opposite packaging sections, namely as first packaging section 5 and as second packaging section 6 opposite this, these Packaging sections 5, 6 have to be pressed together by hand in order to transfer the packaging 1 from a securing position 70 to a removal position 80. Depending on the design and application of the packaging, the packaging sections 5 and 6 can be marked directly and identified as actuation sections. As an alternative to this, these packaging sections 5 and 6 can also only be identified in separately enclosed instructions for use for operating the packaging, as a result of which the child-resistant design of such packaging is further increased. Of course, the packaging sections 5 and 6 can be identified both directly on the packaging and in instructions for use.

The cushion-shaped packaging 1 each comprises a blister card 10 with a top side 11 and a bottom side 12. As already stated at the beginning, the designations chosen below for a top side 11 and an underside 12 of the blister card 10 opposite the top side 11 serve only to simplify and specify the assignment of the relevant pages. The blister card 10 is arranged in relation to the packaging 1 in such a way that its top side 11 forms an outer side 11 of the blister card 10 or an outer surface 2 of the packaging 1. Conversely, the underside 12 of the blister card 10 forms an inner side of the packaging 1.

The in Fig. 1 The blister card 10 shown here is essentially rectangular in shape and has a long side 13 and a narrow side 14. The blister card 10 comprises a carrier film 20, which in FIG Fig. 1 is arranged on the top side 11 or the outside 11 of the blister card 10 and thus also forms an outer surface 2 of the packaging 1. The carrier film 20 is made of transparent plastic, for example, and has a film thickness 21 of approximately 200 μm (micrometers), for example. If necessary, the carrier film 20 can have folded edges 22 and / or perforations 23 in order to be able to be folded, folded or arched along these defined edges or lines of weakness. The carrier film 20 has blister cavities 25 for receiving packaged goods 40. At the in Fig. 1 For example, a total of ten blister cavities 25 for receiving packaged goods 40 are arranged on the blister card 10 in two parallel rows of five blister cavities 25 each. The packaged goods 40 are illustrated here as individual tablets 41 for the sake of simplicity.

A cover film 30 made of aluminum, for example, is applied to the underside 12 of the blister card 10, the cover film 30 having an exemplary film thickness 31 of approximately 20 μm (micrometers). The cover film 30 is flatly connected to the carrier film 20 at least in sections, leaving the blister cavities 25 free. For example, the cover film 30 is connected to the carrier film 20 by sealing or by gluing. The push-through direction 35 of the cover film 30 is marked with an arrow 35 in order to apply pressure in the direction of the arrow 35 from above or from the outside onto the blister cavities 25 of the Carrier film 20 to remove the tablets 41 located therein through the cover film 30 from the blister card 10. The cover film 30 is destroyed in the process.

In order to prevent the packaged goods 40 or tablets 41 from being unintentionally or unauthorized, for example by small children, from being removed from the blister card 10, an underlay card 50 to protect the cover film 30 of the blister card 10 is movable according to the invention on two opposite side edges 15, 16 of the blister card 10 attached. The first side edge 15 is here in the Figures 1 to 7 The embodiments shown are a first longitudinal side edge 15 of the blister card 10. The second side edge 16 is also a second longitudinal side edge 16 of the blister card 10. Closing flaps 60 are arranged on each of the narrow sides 4 of the packaging 1.

Figure 2A shows a packaging 1 according to the invention in cushion form, with this packaging a blister card 10 with a number of blister cavities 25 for receiving tablets 41 being arranged on the top of the packaging and a base card 50 without blister cavities being provided on the underside of the packaging. In a securing position 70 of the packaging 1, the underlay card 50 rests on the underside 12 of the blister card 10 on the cover film 30 applied there. The underlay card 50 in the security position 70 thus serves as a cover card to protect the sensitive cover film 30 on the underside 12 of the blister card 10. The underlay card 50 is made here from a carrier film 55, which is made from the same material as the carrier film 20 of the blister card 10 and is connected to this carrier film 20 along the first longitudinal side edge 15 and along the second longitudinal side edge 16. The underlay card 50 has an upper side 51 or outer side 51, which forms an outer surface 2 of the packaging 1. The base card 50 has a lower side 52 opposite the upper side 51, which forms an inner side 52 of the packaging.

Within the scope of the invention, it is also provided that, for example, the base card 50 is made from a section of the carrier film 20 of the blister card 10 and thus the carrier films of the blister card 10 and the base card 50 are connected to one another in one piece. That carrier film section which forms the base card 50 to protect the cover film 30 of the blister card 10 can, for example, be folded over on one side edge 15 of the blister card 10 and glued or welded to the carrier film 20 on the opposite side edge 16 of the blister card 10.

Figure 2B shows in a side view the narrow side 4 of the in Fig. 1 illustrated structure of this packaging 1, with a blister card 10 with blister cavities 25 for receiving tablets 41 being arranged on the top of the packaging and a further blister card 56 being provided as a base card 50 on the underside of the packaging.

In this further blister card 56, blister cavities 57 for receiving tablets 41 are also arranged in two parallel rows next to one another. The blister card 56 has a carrier film 55, which here is connected in one piece to the carrier film 20 of the blister card 10. The carrier films 20 and 55 are folded over along the first longitudinal side edge 15 of the packaging 1 at a lateral distance from the cover films 30 and 58. In the area of the opposite, second longitudinal side edge 16, the two carrier films 20 and 55 are welded to one another to form an inscription tab 120. The carrier films 20 and 55 are made here, for example, from a see-through, transparent plastic. The cover foils 30 and 58 are made, for example, from an aluminum composite foil. Due to the opposing arrangement of the two blister cards 10 and 56 - the sensitive cover foils 30 and 58 are each protected in the interior of the packaging, the other blister card 56 with the carrier foil 55 on the outside serves as a cover card to protect the sensitive cover foil 30 on the underside 12 of the blister card 10 and to protect its own cover sheet 58.

Fig. 3 shows the long side 3 of in Fig. 1 or in Figure 2B Illustrated embodiment of a packaging 1 according to the invention in cushion form, the packaging 1 being in its securing position 70 in this figure. The cover sheet 58 of the further blister card 56, which here serves as an underlay card 50, lies against the opposite cover sheet 30 of the blister card 10. Pressing through the blister cavities 25, 57 in the pressing direction 35 from the outside is not possible in this securing position 70. The two opposing packaging sections 5 and 6 on the opposing narrow sides 4 of the packaging 1 are in the flat securing position 70 of the packaging 1 at a maximum distance 7 from one another.

Fig. 4 shows the in Figure 2B or in Fig. 3 illustrated packaging 1 in cushion form, wherein in this figure the packaging 1 is in its removal position 80 fixed by manual compression in the direction of arrow 90. The external force 90 due to opposite compression is symbolized by the two opposite arrows 91 and 92, which are intended to illustrate the pressure directions, for example of the thumb and forefinger of one hand of the user of the packaging 1. Compared to the in Fig. 3 The distance 7 shown in the securing position 70 is here in FIG Fig. 4 the distance 8 between the two opposite packaging sections 7 and 8 in the removal position 80 is significantly reduced or shortened. The two packaging sections 7 and 8, which have to be pressed together in the cushioned packaging shown here, are each the lateral closure flaps 60. As a result of the external force 90, the cushioned packaging 1 arches to form a packaging interior 100. This leads to the fact that during the compression 90 of the closure tabs 60 from the outside, so as long as the packaging 1 is fixed with one hand in its removal position 80, the blister card 10 and the base card 50 or here the further blister card 56 on their undersides or inner sides 12 and 52 do not lie against one another and therefore the tablets 41 are removed The blister cards or blister strips can be removed from the blister cavities 25, 57 by pressing 35 with the other, free hand.

Fig. 5 FIG. 4 shows the packaging interior 100 of FIG. 1 in an oblique view from above Fig. 4 illustrated packaging 1, wherein in this figure the packaging is in its emptying position 130 fixed by lateral compression. A tablet 41, which, as described above, has already been removed from the blister cards in the removal position 80 and pushed through into the packaging interior 100, can be removed from the packaging 1 in the emptying position 130 after reaching around and opening the lateral closure flaps 60. To fix the packaging 1 in this emptying position 130, the packaging must be pressed together on its longitudinal side edges 15, 16 in the pressure direction 140, symbolized by two opposing arrows 140.

The opened closure tabs 60 here form an approximately oval removal opening 110 for the packaged goods 40. In this way, tablets 41 can conveniently be emptied from the packaging interior 100 into the user's mouth without contact.

Fig. 6 shows the packaging 1 after emptying a tablet 41 as a dose unit of the packaged goods from the packaging interior 100.

Fig. 7 shows a further embodiment of a packaging 1 according to the invention in the form of a cushion, here the closure flaps 60 on the left narrow side 4 of the packaging being welded to one another in sections 61. Thus, only the closure tabs 60 on the right narrow side 4 of the packaging are available as a removal opening 110 for the tablets 41 after opening.

The Figures 8 to 11 show a further embodiment of a packaging 1 according to the invention, in which a base card 50 is fastened to the underside of the packaging by means of connecting tabs 65 in the form of several serially arranged connecting webs on two opposite edge sections 17 and 18 of the blister card 10 in a foldable manner.

Fig. 8 shows this packaging 1 in its securing position 70. Both the blister card 10 and the backing card 50, which is a further blister card 56 here, each have a first edge area 17 along their longitudinal side edges and a second edge area 18 opposite, with several connecting tabs 65 in these edge areas 17 and 18 are fastened between the blister card 10 and the base card 50. Depending on the length of these connecting tabs 65 or connecting webs, the two interconnected elements, that is to say the blister card 10 and the base card 50, can pass through lateral compression on the first packaging section 5 and on the second packaging section 6 from their securing position 70 into their removal position 80, which is shown in FIG Fig. 11 is illustrated, transfer.

Fig. 9 shows in a sectional view according to FIG Fig. 8 sketched section line IX-IX from the side a detail of the in Fig. 8 illustrated packaging 1. The cover foils 30 and 58 of the blister card 10 or the further blister card 56 in their function as an underlay card 50 for the blister card 10 lying on top in the picture lie directly against one another in the securing position 70. In the purely schematic Fig. 9 an apparent air space or distance between the blister card 10 and the base card 50 is shown merely for the sake of clarity. As soon as an attempt is made in this securing position 70 to remove tablets 41 from the packaging 1 from the outside by pushing through 35 the blister cavities 25 or 57, the two cover films 30 and 58 are in any case against each other and stabilize or protect each other alternately and mutually before they are pushed through become. What has been said above applies equally to the illustrations Figures 2A, 2B , 12 and 16 where, for a better illustration of the packaging function, layers of the blister cards 10 lying next to one another in their securing position 70 and base cards 50 assigned to them opposite are illustrated apparently with a spacing in between. As mentioned, this only serves to simplify the representation and assignment of individual layers to the respective elements of the packaging.

Fig. 10 shows the long side of the in FIGS. 8 and 9 illustrated packaging 1 when transferring from the securing position 70 to the removal position 80 of the packaging 1. This direction of movement 95, which is brought about by external force 90 by opposing compression or displacement 91, 92 by means of two fingers of one hand of the user, is indicated by the double arrow 95 symbolizes.

Fig. 11 shows the long side of the Figures 8 to 10 illustrated packaging 1 in its compressed removal position 80. The upper blister card 10 is here at a distance from the base card 50, forming a packaging interior 100.

The Figures 12 to 15 relate to a further embodiment of a packaging 1 according to the invention in the form of a six-sided straight prism.

Fig. 12 shows this packaging 1 according to the invention in the form of a six-sided straight prism in a securing position 70 spread out flat.

Fig. 13 shows this packaging 1 in its compressed removal position, the view into the packaging interior 100 of the prism-shaped packaging 1 being released.

Fig. 14 shows this packaging 1 with the narrow sides of the packaging 1 folded over closure flaps 60. To fix the packaging 1 in this In emptying position 130, the packaging must be pressed together at its longitudinal side edges 15, 16 in the direction of pressure 140, symbolized by two opposing arrows 140.

Fig. 15 shows in a side view that in the Figures 12 to 14 illustrated package in its compressed removal position 80.

The two Figures 16 and 17 relate to a further embodiment of a packaging 1 according to the invention in the form of a blister card 10 and a base card 50, which is also designed as a further blister card 56. The two blister cards 10 and 56 lie congruently mirror-inverted one above the other in their securing position 70 and are connected along their two longitudinal side edges 15, 16 with labeling tabs 120, which form edge sections 17, 18 of the blister cards 10 and 56.

Fig. 16 shows this packaging 1 according to the invention in its secured position 70.

Fig. 17 shows in a side view the narrow side of the in Fig. 16 illustrated packaging in its compressed removal position 80. To this end, the two labeling tabs 120 can advantageously be roughened, for example, so that they can be more easily grasped and pressed together for the user. At the same time, these labeling tabs 120 can be designed by appropriate design measures, such as, for example, comparatively sharp outer longitudinal edges, in such a way that they are perceived as unpleasant when they are touched by small children. Small children are thereby additionally prevented from compressing the packaging 1 by compressing the labeling tabs 120, which are to be understood as uncomfortable.

The packagings 1 shown here each include blister cards 10 or base cards 50, which have essentially rectangular contours. However, the invention is not limited to rectangular or strip-shaped blister cards 10 or base cards 50, but it goes without saying that square, circular or elliptical blister cards 10 or base cards 50 can also be used for packaging 1 according to the invention.
