DESCRIPTION RECIPIENT DE RANGEMENT DU TYPE COUPELLE THERMOSCELLEE PAR FILM REPOSITIONNABLE
L'invention concerne un récipient thermoscellé pour le rangement d'objets divers du genre comportant une coupelle généralement obtenue par thermoformage et un film de fermeture, détachable, généralement fixé sur le pourtour de ladite coupelle par thermosoudage. DESCRIPTION STORAGE CONTAINER, TYPE THERMOSCELLED BY REPOSITIONABLE FILM
The invention relates to a heat-sealed container for the storage of various objects of the kind comprising a cup generally obtained by thermoforming and a detachable closure film, generally fixed on the periphery of said cup by heat-sealing.
Le récipient selon l'invention est le résultat d'une recherche destinée à améliorer le rangement et le stockage des aiguilles chirurgicales. The container according to the invention is the result of research intended to improve the arrangement and storage of surgical needles.
Bien évidemment, sa conception élargit son champ d'utilisation au rangement et au stockage de produits divers dans des dimensions adaptées à l'application considérée. Obviously, its design widens its field of use to the arrangement and storage of various products in dimensions adapted to the application considered.
Les aiguilles chirurgicales, droites ou courbes, non pourvues de fils à suturer, sont généralement rangées dans des boîtes en matière plastique réalisées en deux parties emboîtables reliées par une paroi faisant office de charnière. Des plaques en mousse, placées dans le fond de chaque partie, sont destinées à maintenir les aiguilles dans ladite boîte une fois fermée. Pour éviter que les aiguilles ne se plantent dans la mousse, elles sont enveloppées en vrac dans une feuille blanche repliée aux quatre coins. Pour éviter que les boîtes s'ouvrent, les jonctions sont recouvertes de bandes adhésives. Surgical needles, straight or curved, not provided with suturing threads, are generally stored in plastic boxes made of two interlocking parts connected by a wall acting as a hinge. Foam plates, placed at the bottom of each part, are intended to hold the needles in said box once closed. To prevent the needles from getting stuck in the foam, they are wrapped loose in a white sheet folded at the four corners. To prevent the boxes from opening, the junctions are covered with adhesive tape.
Une telle conception engendre les principaux inconvénients suivants : - manipulation de la boîte et chargement des aiguilles non automatisables ; - ouverture et fermeture (après prélèvement des aiguilles désirées) difficiles ; - manque de stabilité des manipulations de la boîte à cause de la charnière. Such a design generates the following main drawbacks: - handling of the box and loading of non-automatable needles; - difficult opening and closing (after removal of the desired needles); - lack of stability in handling the box due to the hinge.
Le récipient selon l'invention, qui a été initialement conçu pour éliminer ces divers inconvénients, apporte des avantages nouveaux liés à la conception novatrice de celui-ci et dont les principaux sont : - bon maintien des aiguilles dans la coupelle par thermocollage du film sous vide ; - vision du stock restant au travers du film de fermeture transparent ; - film repositionnable sur la coupelle et pourvu d'un moyen de verrouillage simple sur celle-ci ; - versement des aiguilles facilité par la conception particulière de la partie versante ; - manipulation aisée dans une boîte de stockage conçue à cet effet. The container according to the invention, which was initially designed to eliminate these various drawbacks, brings new advantages linked to the innovative design thereof and the main ones of which are: - good retention of the needles in the cup by heat sealing the film under empty; - vision of the remaining stock through the transparent closure film; - film repositionable on the cup and provided with a simple locking means thereon; - pouring of needles facilitated by the particular design of the pouring part; - easy handling in a storage box designed for this purpose.
Le récipient en question se caractérise essentiellement : - en ce qu'il comporte, sur le bord avant verseur de la coupelle, solidaire du film de fermeture, une languette, détachable, servant, d'une part, à décoller partiellement ledit film pour extraire du récipient les objets désirés et, d'autre part, à repositionner The container in question is essentially characterized: - in that it comprises, on the pouring front edge of the cup, integral with the closure film, a detachable tab, serving, on the one hand, to partially peel off said film to extract from the container the desired objects and, on the other hand, to reposition

Selon des particularités de réalisation de l'invention : - les bords latéraux (4) et arrière (5) sont respectivement reliés au fond (10) de la coupelle (1) par des parois (13) et (14) adaptées pour maintenir les objets dans le volume qu'elles délimitent avec également la paroi inclinée (11) ; - les bords latéraux (4) et arrière (5) comportent des raidisseurs en forme de nervures thermoformées (15) ; - le dispositif de verrouillage (8,9) de la languette (6) sur le bord avant (3) de la coupelle (1) est réalisé au moyen de rainures (8) thermoformées sur ladite languette et de tétons (9) thermoformés sur ledit bord avant et adaptés pour venir se loger dans lesdites rainures pour maintenir la languette (6) sous le bord avant (3), film (2) tendu ; - le décollage partiel du film est réalisé au moyen d'une soudure différentielle à faible résistance sur le bord avant (3) et les zones avant (Z) des bords latéraux (4) de la coupelle (1) ; - les zones (12), destinées à recevoir une pression digitale (P), sont pourvues de découpes arrondies ; - la liaison entre la languette (6) et le bord avant (3) est réalisée au moyen d'une ligne (16) de faible résistance obtenue par thermoformage ; - le film (2) est transparent ; - le film (2) est thermosoudé sur la coupelle (1) sous vide pour assurer, d'une part, un maintien des aiguilles dans le fond de la coupelle et, d'autre part, une protection par exemple à l'humidité et à la poussière. According to particular features of the invention: - the lateral (4) and rear (5) edges are respectively connected to the bottom (10) of the cup (1) by walls (13) and (14) adapted to maintain the objects in the volume which they delimit with also the inclined wall (11); - The lateral (4) and rear (5) edges include stiffeners in the form of thermoformed ribs (15); - The locking device (8, 9) of the tongue (6) on the front edge (3) of the cup (1) is produced by means of grooves (8) thermoformed on said tongue and of pins (9) thermoformed on said front edge and adapted to be received in said grooves to maintain the tongue (6) under the front edge (3), film (2) stretched; - the partial release of the film is carried out by means of a low resistance differential weld on the front edge (3) and the front zones (Z) of the lateral edges (4) of the cup (1); - the zones (12), intended to receive a digital pressure (P), are provided with rounded cutouts; - The connection between the tongue (6) and the front edge (3) is made by means of a line (16) of low resistance obtained by thermoforming; - the film (2) is transparent; the film (2) is heat-sealed on the cup (1) under vacuum to ensure, on the one hand, that the needles are held in the bottom of the cup and, on the other hand, protection for example against humidity and to dust.
Le récipient peut être adapté, de par ses dimensions, pour contenir des aiguilles chirurgicales. The container can be adapted, by its dimensions, to contain surgical needles.
Les aiguilles chirurgicales ont en général des longueurs comprises entre 10 mm (pour un diamètre de 0,28 mm) et 60 mm (pour un diamètre de 1,57 mm). Surgical needles generally have lengths between 10 mm (for a diameter of 0.28 mm) and 60 mm (for a diameter of 1.57 mm).
Une coupelle pourra par exemple contenir de 50 à 300 aiguilles. A cup could for example contain from 50 to 300 needles.
Les coupelles sont également conçues pour être chargées, remplies et thermosoudées en automatique sur une ligne de fabrication. The cups are also designed to be loaded, filled and heat-sealed automatically on a production line.
Un marquage au jet d'encre pourra identifier la coupelle, le numéro du lot, la date, la référence des aiguilles. An inkjet marking can identify the dish, the batch number, the date, the reference of the needles.
Bien entendu, l'invention n'est pas limitée aux modes de réalisation décrits et Of course, the invention is not limited to the embodiments described and
