Abstract

A container for medicine units such as pills, tablets or parts thereof, for use in a medicine unit delivery device, the container comprising a container body, comprising a space surrounded by walls for holding an amount of medicine units, the container body being provided with at least one intake opening for the medicine units; and at least one dispensing opening for the medicine units and a lid for the receiving opening, which is movable between an open position for supplying medicine units and a closed position for closing the container, the lid being lockable with the container at least in the closed position.

Description

Container for medicine units and device for filling such machine and medicine unit delivery device The present invention relates to a container for medicine units and a device for filling such machine. The container is intended for a medicine unit delivery device.
Medicine unit delivery devices are known in the art, for example from the US patent application US2015090733. This application describes a device for dispensing medicine and dietary doses, wherein the medicine units are stored in a container.
The containers according to the art have several disadvantages however. One important disadvantage is that unauthorised (re-)filling is not adequately prevented, with the result that personnel operating a medicine unit delivery device may add wrong medicine units into the container. This may be completely different medicines, but also the right type of medicine but with a wrong dose. Since a medicine unit delivery device may comprise multiple containers with different contents, mixing the containers up is a further risk; a correct medicine in the wrong container may also cause a risk. Additionally because shelf life for medicine units may be important to be monitored, it may be desired to keep track of filling and refilling activities, and in some cases the same may go for inventory management or security reasons. For all of the above it may be preferred that access to the containers takes place in a controlled manner. it is a goal of the present invention to take away at least part of the disadvantages of the prior art, and/or at least to provide a useful alternative.
The present invention therefore proposes a container for medicine units such as pills, tablets or parts thereof, adapted and/or configured for use in a medicine unit delivery device, the container comprising: a container body, comprising a space surrounded by walls for holding an amount of medicine units, the container body being provided with at least one intake opening for the medicine units; and at least one dispensing opening for the medicine units, a lid for the receiving opening, which is movable between an open position for supplying medicine units and a closed position for closing the container, the lid being lockable with the container at least in the closed position.
The lockable lid prevents unintended access to the container from personnel operating the machine, and thus uncontrolled and unintended (re-)filling actions, or unauthorised removal of medication units through the intake opening. The lid may in particular be coupled to the container body by means of a hinge and thus be rotatable with respect to the container body. Evidently, dispensing medicine units may be controlled as well, in a sense that will be explained lateron in the present application, but which avoids unintended addition or removal of medicine units. Since the container according to the invention is intended for use in a medicine unit delivery device that comprises multiple similar or identical containers, from which medication units are to be dispensed in an automated manner, mixing up containers and unintentionally filling them up with the wrong contents is to be prevented once more. The lid is preferably fixedly coupled to the container body, in particular such that the lid can be brought in the opened position without being taken off the container body, and more in particular wherein the lid is coupled to the container body by mean of a hinge. Because medicine unit delivery devices may comprise multiple containers according to the present invention, this reduces the risk of mixing up lids of different containers, and therewith contamination of containers with remainings of different medicine units. in an embodiment of the invention, the locking device is provided with at least one barb or hook which must be urged towards the inside of the container for unlocking the lid, wherein an engaging surface of the barb or hook for unlocking thereof is recessed inside the container wall, preferably in such a manner that manual opening is prevented. The barb or hook may comprise a hook extending from the lid surface to the inside of the container, wherein the container wall has a cavity or through hole for receiving the barb or hook, projecting from the inside of the container to the outside. The barb or hook may have a bias tension in a direction toward the outside of the container, which may bea direction parallel to the plane of the lid in case the lid is (essentially) flat. By situating the engaging surface {or area) of the barb or hook recessed with respect to the container wall, it becomes difficult to manually open the lid, that is: manually means without tooling. For that reason, a recess or through hole allowing to reach the barb or hook for unlocking the lid should be smaller than a fingertip, in particular a few square millimetres. Typically, it may be 2 x 10 or 2 x 5 mm or smaller, up to 0,5 x 0,5 mm. Also the latter measurement may be sufficient to insert a tool like a pin for unlocking the barb or hook and thus enabling to open the lid. Preferably, the locking device comprises multiple barbs or hooks, that may be arranged in different walls or wall parts, so that the barbs or hooks have to be moved in different directions to unlock the lid. This makes it even more difficult to unlock the lid without proper and intended tooling.
Ina further embodiment, the container body is provided with at least one transparent part for determining the type and/or number of medicine units present from the outside of the container. The transparent part may be a window in the container wall, or the entire container wall is made from a transparent material.
Preferably the material is not coloured, so fully clear, to maximize the visibility and the possibility to do a visual inspection of the containers contents.
In a further embodiment, the container comprises a separated space for holding at least one reference medicine unit, wherein the separated space is also provided with at least one transparent part adjacent to an outside of the container, for being able to visually verify that the medicine units in the space for holding an amount of medicine units match the medicine unit in the separated space.
In the separated space, an example medication unit can be placed, that serves as a visual reference, so that when (re-}filling the container, a direct check can take place whether the newly filled medicine units match the one in the separated space in size, shape, colour and the like. in a preferred embodiment, the separated space forms part of, or is included in the lid.
This way, a distinct position of the example medicine unit is guaranteed, which makes it easy to distinguish the example from the filling of the container.
The above described visual determination of the correct medicine unit may normally be a human action, although machine aided visual recognition is possible too.
However, to avoid mistakes by human personnel, the container may be provided with a machine- readable identifier, such as a bar or QR code, an RFID tag, a chip or a magnetic code, in particular arranged in the lid.
The identifier may comprise data that describes the medicine unit, its contents, size, dose and all other relevant information, and may be compared with machine readable information on a packaging with filling content for the container prior to (re-) filling it.
The container according to the invention may further comprise a cantilever for engagement by a robot, which cantilever is for instance adapted to receive two spaced pins or hooks and which holder is in particular connected to the lid.
Machine handling of the container is preferred, since the dispensing machines the containers according to the invention are comprised in, may comprise a register with tens and even hundreds of containers, which are all to be positioned in a dispensing position and stored again when the medicine units they comprise are temporarily not needed to be dispensed.
For dispensing a medicine unit, the container according to the invention may comprise a slot that is displaceable relative to the dispensing opening, which slot comprises a space open on two sides, a first side being adjacent to the space for holding the amount of medicine units and a second side facing a wall portion in which the dispensing opening is located, and wherein the movable slot is movable between a first position in which the opening in the second side is aligned with the dispensing opening and a second position in which the opening in the second side is at least partially blocked. By moving the slot, a medicine unit can be moved from the inner (holding) space of the container to the dispening opening and then fall out of the container. The container may comprise a rotation shaft about which a body eccentrically comprising the slot can be arranged, as well as such a body, wherein the rotation shaft is provided with engaging means accessible from the outside of the container for being rotated and thereby moving the slot. it may further comprise a guide for guiding medicine units from the space for holding the amount of medicine units to the slot. The present invention also relates to a device for filling a container according to any one of the preceding claims, comprising a support for the container, and an unlocking device for the lid, in particular comprising at least one pusher for the barb or hook or an engaging surface for moving the barb or hook, movable in the direction of the space for holding the amount of medicine units of the holder. The device for filling the container may preferably comprise a reader for the machine- readable identifier, a reader for a machine-readable identifier of a pack of medicine units, and a data processing unit adapted to enable operation of the unlocking device only when out of the identifier of the package of medicine units shows that the medicine units are intended to be placed in the holder, and blocking the unlocking action if the identifier of the pack of medicine units shows that the medicine units are not intended to be placed in the holder. The present invention also relates to a medicine unit delivery device comprising at least one container of the above described type, wherein the container comprises a rotation shaft about which a body eccentrically comprising the slot is be arranged, as well as such a body, wherein the rotation shaft is provided with engaging means accessible from the outside of the container for being rotated and thereby moving the slot and wherein the medicine unit delivery device comprises a rotatable drive for engaging the engaging means of the shaft. it may further comprise a guide for guiding medicine units from the space for holding the amount of medicine units to the slot. The invention will now be elucidated into more detail with reference to the following figures, wherein: - Figure 1 is a first perspective view of a container according to the present invention; and - Figure 2 is a second perspective view of a container according to the present invention.
Figure 1 shows a container 1 for medicine units such as pills, tablets or parts thereof, for use in a medicine unit delivery device, the container comprising a container body 2, comprising a space 3 surrounded by walls 4, 5, 6, 7 for holding an amount of medicine units, the container body being provided with at least one intake opening 8 for the medicine units and at least one dispensing opening 9 (not visible) for the medicine units, and a lid 10 for the receiving opening 8, which is movable between an open position (shown) for supplying medicine units and a closed position (shown in figure 2) for closing the container 1, the lid 10 being lockable with the container 1 at least 5 inthe closed position.
The lid may be lockable with at least one barb 11 (and in this case a second barb 12) which must be urged towards the inside of the container for unlocking the lid, wherein an engaging surface of the barb for unlocking thereof is recessed 13, 14 inside the container wall, preferably in such a manner that manual opening is prevented. The container body 2 is transparent part for determining the type and/or number of medicine units present from the outside of the container and it comprised a separated space 15 for holding at least one reference medicine unit, wherein the separated space 15 is also provided with at least one transparent part 16 adjacent to an outside of the container 2, for being able to visually verify that the medicine units in the space for holding an amount of medicine units match the medicine unit in the separated space.
