Description

The utility model relates to the field of condom packaging (hereinafter referred to as packaging) and is intended to ensure user hygiene and environmental protection, in terms of placement and local disposal of used condoms.

A condom (also a condom) is a barrier type of contraception, as well as a means of protection against many sexually transmitted pathogens. It is an impermeable cover for sperm, which is worn on the erect penis. Designed to prevent unwanted pregnancy, protects against HIV infection and sexually transmitted diseases such as hepatitis, gonorrhea, syphilis, chlamydia, trichomoniasis, etc. Modern condoms are most often made from latex, although other materials, such as polyurethane, are also used ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Condition).

For the safety of the latex condom and the grease in which it is located, a protective foil package is used, which protects the product from damaging sunlight and other damage. Inside the package, the condom is folded.

There is a problem placing used condoms. The used condom is thrown to the floor, left in bed, on bedside tables, thrown out through the window, thrown into the toilet bowl, etc. Frequently throwing condoms out in public places, such as parks, has become an ongoing rubbish problem for many large cities, and draining the condom into the toilet can clog the sewer or cause other problems. The aesthetic aspect cannot be ruled out: unpleasant odor, possible leakage of seminal fluid, the very type of condom used, etc.

On one of the scientific and educational sites you can find advice:

“After using the condom, it is recommended to knot or wrap it in a tissue or toilet paper, and then throw it in the trash” (http://www.muldyr.ru/a/a/prezervativ_-_primenenie).

The algorithm of actions is absolutely correct, only if a napkin or toilet paper can be prepared in advance, then the bin next to the place of making love will not look quite adequate.

There are many ways to pack condoms. It is proposed to place condoms in cans for drinks (RF patents for utility model No. 13025, 9205), in the lid of a pack of cigarettes, (RF patent for utility model 9206), provide the packaging with an image of an erotic, sexual, intimate or similar nature (RF patent for utility model No. 11781, patent for an industrial design of the Russian Federation No. 60036). In addition, options are proposed to facilitate the direct use of a condom before sexual intercourse, such as various holders (RF patents for inventions No. 2335262, 2343880, 2343881).

Known consumer packaging (consumer package), designed to deliver goods to the consumer, containing one or more individual packaging of condoms. According to GOST ISO 23409-2014, one or more individual packages can be placed in consumer packaging. Individual and / or consumer packaging should protect the condom from the negative effects of the environment. If condoms are delivered to consumers in individual packaging, it is considered to be consumer packaging, which is marked accordingly (clause 3.3. And clause 16.1. GOST ISO 23409-2014 Male condoms made of synthetic materials. Requirements and test methods).

None of the packaging listed above answers the question of where to place the condom after its use and are intended solely to preserve the condom until it is used.

The closest technical solution to the claimed one, taken as the closest analogue (prototype) of the utility model, is to pack a condom in a standard sealed package containing a sanitary napkin and a bag of waterproof material with a valve having at least one or two self-adhesive strips, one of which is located on the near outer wall of the package at the upper edge, and the other on the inner surface of the valve, while the package is made in sizes that are at least twice as large as the standard packaging willow, and sufficient to contain used wipes and a condom with sperm (RF patent for utility model No. 9718).

The disadvantage of the closest analogue (prototype) is that self-adhesive strips will not be able to provide reliable and tight closure of the valve of the bag, which in turn can lead to leakage of seminal fluid and violation of sanitary and hygienic requirements during use, which can entail a danger to the health of others, because The user's seminal fluid may be a potential source of infection. A bag made of polyethylene must be protected from damaging sunlight and other damage. When using the prototype, additional packaging elements arise: a condom is packed in a standard package, a standard package with a condom is packed in a plastic bag, which in turn is packed in a package that protects it, at least from mechanical damage. If condoms are not sold individually, external packaging will also be necessary.

The proposed utility model is aimed at eliminating the disadvantages of the closest analogue of the prototype.

The new technical solution provides an expansion of the arsenal of consumer packaging for condoms, which is also intended for the delivery of goods to the consumer (includes one or more individual packaging of condoms) and for the placement and local disposal of used condoms. In addition, the new consumer packaging has improved sanitary and hygienic characteristics, including tightness and reliability.

The utility model provides enhanced user hygiene and a condom culture. Packaging is universal in nature, as it is suitable for packaging condoms of various designs and has a simple design that does not require large expenditures for manufacturing, which will not lead to a significant increase in the cost of the product. The new technical solution is presented in two versions.

The technical result is achieved by the fact that consumer packaging for a condom made in the form of a bag of waterproof material with a valve, according to a utility model, is a volume-forming hermetic packaging means made of a combined polymer heat-sealable material, which makes it possible to place one or more individual condoms in it, having before using the condom, it is flat in shape with the base turned upside down, and after Applications - the volumetric shape formed by the bottom expansion of the base, with the valve located in the upper part of the package, made in the form of a zip-lock and is thermally sewn into the inner surface of the front and rear walls of the package, providing a closed connection of the opposing packaging surfaces .

According to the first embodiment, the package additionally has folded expanding side walls, a folded rectangular base, which, when deployed, provide a parallelepiped shape of the package.

According to the second embodiment, the package has an expanding rolled oval-shaped base, which provides a mini-doy-pack-like volumetric shape upon deployment.

The essence of the utility model is illustrated by drawings. 1 and FIG. 2 shows packaging options.

In FIG. 1 consumer packaging (1) is made of a combined polymer heat-sealable waterproof material (Patent RU No. 2173262, IPC B29C 65/00; Combined and multilayer materials, https://ref.unipack.ru/38) with a neck (2) equipped with a lock -Zip-lock fastener (3), side (6) and bottom extension (5), notch to facilitate unpacking (4).

The package has a base, front, back and side walls made of a combined material that are thermally sewn together (Thermal welding, https://plastinfo.ru/information/articles/249).

The base 5 and the side walls 6 are rectangular in shape, made with the possibility of folding (inward) and expanding so that before using one or more individual condoms in a consumer package, the package 1 has a flat shape, and after use, when used in it condoms - bulk. In the upper part, the package has a valve, which is made in the form of a zip-lock-type fastener 3. A zipper-lock is thermally sewn into the inner surface of the front and back walls of the package, providing a closed tight connection of the opposite walls of the package.

The packaging and condoms placed in it are in a compressed state prior to immediate use. To facilitate unpacking, the package has 4 incisions made above the zipper.

Similarly, in FIG. Figure 2 shows consumer packaging (1), which is made of a combined polymer heat-sealable waterproof material in the form of a mini-doy pack, with a neck (2), equipped with a zip-lock type fastener (3), a bottom extension (5), a notch to facilitate unpacking (4).

The package has a base, front and back walls made of a combined material that are thermally cross-linked. The base 5 has an oval shape and is made with the possibility of coagulation inward and subsequent expansion, forming a flat shape before use, and after use - voluminous.

In the upper part, the package has a valve, which is made in the form of a zip-lock type fastener 3. A zipper-type lock 3 is thermally sewn into the inner surface of the front and rear walls of the package, providing a closed tight connection of the opposite walls of the package. The packaging and condoms placed in it are in a compressed state prior to immediate use. To facilitate unpacking, the package has 4 incisions made above the zipper.

The difference between the packaging options is that in the first embodiment, the package has a base folded inward and side walls, and in the second version - a folded oval-shaped base.

The application of the claimed consumer packaging is as follows.

For the manufacture of packaging 1 can be applied two-layer or three-layer polymer materials (polyester, polypropylene, polyamide films or other films). For example, for a double-layer material: the outer layer (substrate) protects against external influences, the inner layer provides sealing of the package. The outer layer of the packaging also serves as the basis for marking, required application information and advertising. In the case of the use of a three-layer material, a middle layer is present which, for example, provides additional barrier properties.

Packaging 1 and the condoms placed in it are in a compressed state prior to immediate use. Before use, using a special incision 4, the package is opened, the zip-lock 3 lock-fastener is opened and the condom is removed for direct use. The package 1 is given a three-dimensional shape, folding the folded base 5 (figure 2) or folding the base and the sides 5 6 (figure 1). Due to the existing lateral and / or bottom expansion, the package can stand upright, while the opened lock-clasp 3 form the neck 2. After use, the condom is placed in the same package 1 through the open neck 2. The neck 2 is closed with a zip-lock 3, which from the inside, reliably and tightly connects the opposite (front and back) walls of the package. When using packages according to the first embodiment (FIG. 1), the volumetric capacity (parallelepipedal shape) formed by the expansion of the side walls and the base is larger than the volumetric capacity of the package formed by the expansion of the oval base (mini-doy-pack type).

A common feature of packaging options is that they are simultaneously intended for the delivery of goods to the consumer (includes one or more individual condom packaging) and for the placement and local disposal of used condoms. Prior to disposal in a garbage container, a package with a used condom placed in it, with a closed zip-lock 3 fastener can be quite long in any place, on any surface, in any position (horizontally or vertically) without causing any inconvenience.

Thus, the proposed utility model:

- ensures the conservation of consumer properties and the protection of the condom from external influences in the conditions of tightness prior to use and allows to solve with high efficiency the problem of placement, hermetic storage and local disposal of used condoms;

- provides maximum protection against various kinds of undesirable incidents (unpleasant odor, sperm leakage, detection of a used condom by other people);

- provides hygiene, comfort and aesthetics of the process of using a condom, which in turn leads to the popularization of condom use and a reduction in the number of unwanted pregnancies and sexually transmitted diseases;

- is universal in nature, as it is suitable for condoms of various configurations and serves as packaging for storage before and after its use;

- has a simple design that does not require large costs in the manufacture, which will not lead to a significant increase in the cost of the product.
