Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a childproof packaging unit for at least two button cells.
  • the packaging unit is packaging of the blister card type.
  • buttons cells are packaged in plastic film molded parts.
  • the packaging consists partly of a tear-resistant, preferably transparent film made of PVC or polyvinylidene chloride with cup-shaped features for receiving the button cells and partly of a smooth-surfaced seal Sealing foil made of aluminum is formed.
  • a button cell it only needs to be pushed through the easily tearable aluminum foil from the outside.
  • a sales and storage pack of the blister card type in which a plastic molded part is fixed to a carrier which is formed, for example, from a cardboard blank.
  • the plastic molded part comprises at least one deep-drawn depression which, together with the carrier, forms a closed receptacle with a circular-cylindrical basic shape for the cylindrical button cell.
  • the receptacle comprises a side space, preferably designed as a bulge in the central space, which is designed in such a way that it cannot be filled by the button cell. In this configuration of the packaging, the side space be opened with a scissors cut in order to be able to remove the button cell from the packaging.
  • the side space is designed in such a way that the button cell is not touched with the scissors during the scissor cut, since the size of the button cell does not protrude into the side space. This avoids a short circuit or damage to the button cell.
  • Another aspect of child safety is the accidental ingestion of a button cell, with the risk of serious burns in the esophagus from discharging the button cell and other serious problems in the gastrointestinal tract.
  • the object of the invention is to provide an improved packaging unit for two or more button cells which, on the one hand, takes into account the important aspects of child safety and, on the other hand, enables a visually appealing and flexible sales presentation. Furthermore, a particularly economical production of the packaging units should be possible.
  • each button cell of the packaging unit is enclosed in a separate individual compartment and the individual compartments are spaced apart from one another on the carrier.
  • the packaging unit according to the invention thus allows a number of button cells to be packaged, with each individual button cell being encapsulated separately.
  • the individual components are formed by the deep-drawn plastic hood and the plastic film attached to it, so that each button cell is tightly sealed and encapsulated.
  • the fixing of the rear plastic film to the plastic hood is designed in such a way that this fixing cannot be easily detached, ie in particular cannot be pulled off or torn off. Rather, a tool, for example scissors or a knife, is required to open the individual compartment, so that an infant cannot usually open the individual compartment or the capsule.
  • the solid encapsulation ensures that even if the button cell enclosed in the individual compartment is swallowed, the button cell does not pose any significant danger, since in particular the button cell cannot cause chemical burns in the esophagus or in the gastrointestinal tract.
  • the button cell would also remain within the individual compartment during a passage through the gastrointestinal tract and would usually be excreted again together with this as a unit.
  • buttons cells are enclosing the button cells within the individual compartments, an association of button cells with sweets or the like is avoided, so that even a small child is prevented from swallowing such an individual compartment with the button cell contained therein.
  • the individual compartments have a certain minimum size, which prevents an infant from swallowing.
  • buttons for button cells traditionally differ depending on the number of button cells in a packaging unit.
  • a packaging unit for two cells required a different blister than one for three, four or five button cells.
  • a separate tool was required to produce each blister.
  • Completely different according to the present invention here, regardless of the number of button cells, from a packaging unit should be included, always the same individual compartments are used. The only differences are in the number and arrangement of the individual compartments on the carrier.
  • the distance between the individual compartments on the carrier means that the button cells can be removed individually from the respective individual compartments in a particularly user-friendly manner without, for example, an adjacent individual compartment being accidentally damaged.
  • a button cell is generally understood to mean an electrochemical energy storage cell with a cylindrical housing whose overall height is less than its diameter.
  • the button cells of the packaging unit according to the invention can in particular be lithium button cells, which pose a relatively great risk if swallowed.
  • the button cells can also be energy storage cells of a different type, for example alkaline button cells or silver oxide button cells or zinc-air button cells.
  • the packaging unit is in particular a sales pack and/or storage pack.
  • the carrier of the packaging unit is a flat material, as is common in the field of blister packs for button cells or batteries in general or for energy storage cells.
  • the carrier is preferably designed as a cardboard blank. Such cardboard blanks are widespread in such blister packs.
  • the use of recycled material for the carton blank (and also for the production of the individual compartments) is particularly preferred in order to reduce the environmental impact.
  • It can be provided that at least one side of the carton blank is printed in color and is in particular provided with information about the product. The printed side is in particular the side on which the individual compartments are attached.
  • the carrier can also consist of another material, for example a plastic, or can consist of different materials, for example a composite material made of cardboard and plastic.
  • the receptacle can be optimally adapted to the shape and size of the respective button cell.
  • the circular outline of the receptacle is expediently slightly larger than the button cell, so that there is a certain amount of leeway for inserting the button cell during the packaging process and for removing it.
  • the marginal widening according to the aforementioned feature b. is intended for a user-friendly opening of the packaging by the user to remove the individual button cells while at the same time being child-safe.
  • the marginal widening or bulge (side space) represents a starting point for opening the individual compartment with a scissor cut or a knife cut. Since this opening requires a tool, this represents a very advantageous embodiment in terms of child safety of the packaging unit according to the invention.
  • the widening at the edge is preferably in accordance with the aforementioned feature c. designed to be only a quarter or less of the circular outline so that the button cell cannot slip into the flare within the single compartment. This can also be further supported by the widening having a lower height than the rest of the cup-shaped indentation, so that the button cell is reliably prevented from slipping in the direction of the widening at the edge.
  • the plastic hood forms a circumferential flat surface for fixing the rear plastic film.
  • a sealing edge is provided, so to speak, which provides a good contact surface for fixing the rear plastic film and thus enables a particularly secure closure or sealing of the individual compartment.
  • the bowl-shaped recess preferably has a flat bottom and a peripheral wall. The bottom is aligned parallel to the carrier. The distance between the floor and the carrier defines the height of the slot for the button cell.
  • the receptacle is expediently adapted to the shape and dimensions of the button cell inserted therein.
  • the receptacle preferably has a diameter which exceeds the diameter of the button cell by a factor of 1.05 to 1.3.
  • the receptacle has a height which exceeds the height of the button cell by a factor of 1.01 to 1.2.
  • the indentation and thus also the receptacle would be strictly circular-cylindrical.
  • the presence of the side room provides a departure from a strictly circular-cylindrical geometry.
  • the shape of the side space is not important, so the widening at the edge can, for example, be rounded or have one corner or several corners.
  • the side space should advantageously be designed in such a way that it cannot be filled by the button cell.
  • the side space therefore preferably comprises at least a partial area into which the button cell cannot penetrate, even if it should have limited mobility within the widening, at least not without destroying or deforming the widening.
  • the side space has a lower height than the rest of the receptacle, in particular a lower height than the button cell. This can make the paper cut easier. In addition, this is a particularly simple way of effectively preventing the button cell from penetrating into the side space.
  • the different strengths of the materials for the plastic hood and for the rear plastic film means that the rear film is more flexible than the front plastic hood. Furthermore, due to the greater flexibility of the rear plastic film, a particularly stable fixing or fastening of the rear plastic film of the individual compartment on the carrier is possible.
  • the material of the plastic hood is preferably chosen such that a stable shape for accommodating the button cell is achieved.
  • the material in particular for the plastic hood, can consist of any deep-drawable plastic, for example polyvinyl chloride (PVC) or polyethylene, in particular low-density polyethylene (PE-LD).
  • PVC polyvinyl chloride
  • PE-LD low-density polyethylene
  • PET polyethylene terephthalate
  • the individual compartments can be closed particularly tightly, so that the encapsulation of the button cells is particularly secure, especially with regard to possible swallowing of an individual compartment with an enclosed button cell.
  • the PET film for the plastic hood has the above-mentioned film thickness in a range of 250-350 ⁇ m, in particular 300 ⁇ m
  • the PET material of the rear plastic film has a film thickness in a range from 150-250 ⁇ m. in particular 200 ⁇ m.
  • the material of the plastic hood and preferably also the material of the rear plastic film are each transparent. This measure makes it possible to produce particularly attractive optical appearances and packaging units that can be designed flexibly, since the optical appearance of the packaging unit is then essentially shaped by the design of the carrier.
  • the carrier for example the cardboard blank
  • a reinforcing film for example a film made from polyethylene terephthalate, from polyolefin and/or from PVC.
  • the film can have a thickness, for example, in a range from 5 ⁇ m to 50 ⁇ m.
  • the backing is made tear-resistant by the reinforcing film.
  • the carrier and in particular the cardboard blank can be used over the entire surface or only in certain areas be covered with the intensifying film. For example, only the area of the carrier that is equipped with the individual compartments for the button cells can be covered with the reinforcing film. Additionally or alternatively, the back of the carrier or the side of the carrier facing away from the individual cells can also be covered with the reinforcing film and/or the edges of the carrier can be shielded and reinforced by the reinforcing film.
  • the backing sheet may have a tensile strength in a range of about 1000 kg/cm 2 to 3500 kg/cm 2 according to ASTM D882, preferably in a range of 1200 kg/cm 2 to 3300 kg/cm 2 according to ASTM D882 .
  • the diamond-shaped shape or the diamond-shaped outline with rounded edges in the individual compartments allows a very flexible design of the packaging unit according to the invention.
  • the individual compartments can, for example, be arranged next to one another or in the form of a grid or in the form of a circle on the carrier.
  • the diamond shape allows a very space-saving arrangement on the carrier. For example, two or four or five individual compartments per packaging unit can be provided in a very appealing manner. For example, a double pack with 2 x 5 button cells is also possible. Of course, other arrangements and numbers of the individual compartments on a carrier are also possible.
  • perforations can be provided on the carrier in order to be able to easily separate individual sections of the carrier.
  • sections each having an individual compartment for separation can be provided in this way.
  • the packaging of the button cells in the form of individual compartments allows for very flexible use in the packaging process and great flexibility in the design of the packaging unit with regard to the number of button cells per packaging unit and also with regard to the visual appearance and the geometric arrangement of the individual compartments on the Carrier.
  • the individual compartments can be produced very easily in large quantities and then in principle attached to the carrier in any number and arrangement.
  • PET for example, and in particular 100% PET for the individual compartments
  • 100% PET for the individual compartments
  • the packaging unit according to the invention can thus be designed to be very environmentally friendly overall, since both the carrier can be made from recycled and/or recyclable material and the individual components can be made from recycled and/or recyclable material.
  • the carrier is, for example, an environmentally friendly carrier cardboard card, which can consist, for example, of at least 90% recycled secondary fiber cardboard.
  • 80% PET recyclate can be used as the plastic material for the plastic hood and the rear plastic film.
  • the plastic material requirement is significantly lower than in conventional blister card-type packaging, in which the entire front surface of the carrier is usually provided with plastic.
  • the packaging unit according to the invention can be produced in a particularly environmentally friendly manner, above all due to the low requirement for plastics.
  • the rear plastic film is fixed to the separate deep-drawn plastic hood by means of welding and that the rear film and the plastic film are each made of a film material, which, like the backing sheet, preferably has a tensile strength in a range from about 1000 kg/cm 2 to 3500 kg/cm 2 according to the ASTM D882 standard, preferably a tensile strength in a range from 1200 kg/cm 2 to 3300 kg/cm 2 according to the ASTM D882 standard.
  • thermal sealing is carried out to close the individual compartments.
  • the attachment of the individual compartments to the carrier can be further strengthened and secured by the sealing wax, in particular in preparation for a thermal sealing process.
  • the use of a sealing wax allows a particularly favorable production process.
  • the individual compartment 10 encloses a button cell 50, for example a lithium button cell.
  • the individual compartment 10 is formed by a deep-drawn plastic hood 11 with a cup-shaped depression and a rear plastic film 12 fixed thereto.
  • the cup-shaped indentation has a largely circular outline for accommodating the button cell.
  • a peripheral widening 13 is provided in the cup-shaped depression. The dimensions of the widening 13 at the edge are selected in such a way that the button cell 50 enclosed in the interior of the individual compartment 10 cannot, or at least not completely, slide into the widening 13 at the edge.
  • the individual compartment 10 or the deep-drawn plastic hood 11 forming the individual compartment 10 and the rear plastic film 12 are preferably made of a plastic material, preferably PET. It is preferred here that the plastic hood 11 is made from a more dimensionally stable material, in particular from a thicker plastic film than the rear plastic film.
  • the material of the plastic hood 11 is PET with a thickness of 300 ⁇ m.
  • a recyclate can also be used here, for example an 80% recyclate.
  • the rear plastic film 12 preferably also consists of PET; a film thickness of 200 ⁇ m is particularly preferred, optionally also from a recyclate, preferably an 80% recyclate.
  • the cup-shaped indentation of the deep-drawn plastic hood 11 is appropriately adapted to the size of the button cells to be packaged.
  • a cup-shaped indentation with a diameter of 20.9 mm can be used for button cells whose diameter is up to 20 mm.
  • the diameter of the bowl-shaped depression 11 can be adjusted accordingly for larger or smaller button cells.
  • FIG. 2 shows the individual compartment 10 with the button cell 50 enclosed therein in plan view.
  • the cup-shaped depression of the plastic hood 11 is surrounded by a circumferential flat surface 14, which forms a sealing surface for the rear plastic film fixed to it.
  • the sealing surface 14 the deep-drawn plastic cover 11 and the rear plastic film are firmly connected to one another, so that the button cell 50 located inside the individual compartment 10 is hermetically sealed from the outside.
  • the button cell 50 is therefore securely encapsulated in the individual compartment 10, so that there is generally no danger even if the individual compartment 10 is accidentally swallowed.
  • the sealing surface 14 defines the outer outline of the individual compartment 10, the outline being diamond-shaped with rounded edges in this preferred exemplary embodiment.
  • This form allows different and in particular space-saving arrangements of several individual compartments 10 on a carrier. Of course, other forms of the individual compartments can also be provided.
  • FIG. 3 shows a further top view of an individual compartment 10, with the corresponding sections along the section lines AA and BB also being shown.
