Definitions

  • This invention relates to a packaging for button cells, having a holder for several cells that is arranged on a carrier, preferably sales or storage packing.
  • the cells are, in particular, zinc-air cells.
  • packagings for hermetically sealed button cells of the rechargeable Ni—Cd-type or basic Ag 2 O—Zn and HgO—Zn types that consist of, for example, pairs of nested plastic shells.
  • One of those shells was subdivided into a circular array of compartments for accommodating cells and could be rotated with respect to the other shell such that its compartments could be successively brought into coincidence with a dispensing opening in the other shell and the cell involved withdrawn from the compartment.
  • a corresponding packaging element is represented by, for example, the press-out packaging described in German Patent Application DE 3630926 A1.
  • the cells contained therein are fully protected against ingress of ambient air between a tear-resistant, air-tight, transparent sheet of plastic foil having bowl-shaped blisters and a sheet of aluminum foil that is bonded to that sheet of plastic foil.
  • U.S. Pat. No. 4,015,708 discloses a folding box for use as a packaging element for zinc-air cells that incorporates a cardboard carrier having circular recesses for accommodating button cells whose bases are cemented onto a foil on the reverse side of the carrier.
  • German Patent Application DE 4128248 A1 depicts a sales and storage packaging for zinc-air cells having a carrier to which the bases of cells, which are provided with air-inlet openings, are cemented.
  • a transparent plastic cover having bowl-shaped recesses that essentially conform to the shape of the cells is attached to the carrier. Cells may be pressed through the carrier immediately prior to use.
  • Another foil that extends into the vicinities of the carrier through which cells may be pressed is attached to the carrier. Cells may be pressed through this latter foil, which is provided with an adhesive coating, at least at those locations where the bases of cells adhere to it. However, this latter foil remains attached to the carrier after cells have been pressed through it and peeled off it.
  • German Patent Application DE 10162492 A1 describes a packaging for zinc-air cells where a rotatable insert is arranged between a cardboard carrier and a cardboard cover that are cemented together such that the insert may be rotated.
  • the cardboard cover has an opening for accommodating the rotatable insert and the cardboard carrier has a reclosable tab through which individual cells may be withdrawn from the rotatable insert.
  • the carrier for the holder for accommodating zinc-air cells is, in general, marked with the designation of the cell's manufacturer or seller, i.e., in the case of cells for use in hearing aids, with that of the hearing-aid dealer.
  • This invention relates to packaging for button cells including a carrier, a holder for a plurality of the button cells, arranged on the carrier, and a label attached to the packaging, wherein the label is adhesive, transparent, printed and contains at least an identification of a seller.
  • This invention also relates to packaging for button cells including a carrier, a holder for a plurality of the button cells, arranged on the carrier, and a label attached to the carrier, wherein the label is adhesive, transparent, printed and contains at least an identification of a seller.
  • FIG. 1 depicts the front side of a prospective sale or storage packing in accordance with aspects of the invention.
  • FIG. 2 depicts the reverse side of that same packaging.
  • At least the seller's designation is arranged on the carrier or the holder or the packaging in the form of an adhesive, transparent, printed label.
  • the label can be attached thereto.
  • Zinc/air cells are to be regarded as a particularly preferred type of button cell in this conjunction.
  • the packaging involved may preferably serve as either a sales packaging or a storage packaging, or both.
  • the usual contents in particular, the usual instructions for use and safety precautions to be observed, have been applied to its reverse side.
  • the front side of the carrier 1 supports a rotatable insert 2 that serves as a holder for several button cells 3 that may be withdrawn through the tab 4 on the reverse side of the packaging.
  • a transparent, printed label 5 that contains the name and, perhaps, address or other selected information, of the manufacturer and/or seller of the cells is attached, adhered or cemented to the front side of the carrier 1 .
