Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a transport package for bottles of toxic contents, cyto-toxic contents and the like, with a container for receiving the bottle and a closure cap for tightly closing the container, the container being provided with spacer ribs distributed over its internal circumference for clampingly spacing a received bottle from the internal circumference of the container.
  • Bottles containing a toxic substance, for instance cyto-toxic substances etc., during transportation constitute a considerable risk for unprotected handling personnel.
  • a toxic substance for instance cyto-toxic substances etc.
  • When filling the bottle it frequently happens that the exterior of the bottle is covered by the contents. This, during handling, involves the hazard of contamination. Moreover, there is a danger of the bottle breaking during its transport and of consequential leakage of the hazardous liquid.
  • a transport package of the kind referred to supra is known from Swiss patent 490,240.
  • the known transport package does not provide for securing a bottle in the area of the closure cap.
  • the neck of the bottle may move and rub at the closure cap with consequential contamination hazard when the transport package is being opened.
  • the object is accomplished by a transport package which in accordance with the invention is characterized by the closure cap being provided with spacer ribs distributed over the interior circumference for securing the neck of the bottle.
  • an exterior package for a bottle which as a result of the spacer construction substantially eliminates any leakage to the exterior of surface contaminants from the bottle over the entire area thereof. Moreover, the support during transport of the bottle is improved so that its closure is well protected.
  • the height of the container is less than the height of the bottle to be received.
  • the neck of the bottle, after opening its transport package is readily accessible, so that the bottle may remain in its container and need not be grasped by any hand. This offer protection from contact with any contaminants at the exterior surface of the bottle.
  • the FIGURE shows a transport package 1 for receiving a bottle 2 .
  • the bottle 2 is, for instance, a hypodermic needle accessible ampule for a cyto-staticum and is closed by a rubber plug 3 which is retained by an aluminum cap 4 and which may be penetrated by an injection needle for removing the contents of the bottle 2 .
  • the transport package 1 consists of a substantially cylindrical or pot-shaped container 5 and of a closure cap 6 , which at 7 may be tightly seated on the container 5 as, for instance, by screwing, adhesion etc.
  • the closure cap 6 extends over the upper margin of the container 5 and is screwed thereon by threads 8 and 9 .
  • snap protrusions on the closure cap may snap onto matching snap protrusions at the exterior circumference of the container 5 .
  • the container 5 Near its bottom the container 5 is provided with spacer ribs 10 distributed over its interior circumference which center and clampingly seat the bottle 2 at a distance from the interior circumference of the container 5 .
  • spacer ribs 10 distributed over its interior circumference which center and clampingly seat the bottle 2 at a distance from the interior circumference of the container 5 .
  • eight spacer ribs 10 may be provided and symmetrically distributed around the interior circumference, and each spacer rib 10 extends parallel to the axis of the container 5 .
  • any other number and arrangements of spacer ribs 10 are possible as well.
  • the closure cap 6 is similarly provided with spacer ribs 11 distributed over its interior circumference for centering and holding the neck 12 (or the cap 4 and the plug 3 ).
  • spacer ribs 11 may be provided which are symmetrically distributed around the interior circumference and extend parallel to the axis of the closure cap 6 .
  • Other numbers and configurations are also possible.
  • the transport package 1 may be of any other cross-section, e.g., square, rectangular or polygonal.
  • the bottle may also be received eccentrically within the transport package 1 .
  • the entire transport package 1 is made of plastic, such as, for instance, polypropylene.
  • the plastic material is transparent or at least translucent to permit control of the integrity or filling level of the bottle 2 .
  • the transport package is suitable for any type of bottles for hazardous materials, i.e. not only for bottles with toxic or cyto-toxic contents, but also for highly combustible or environmentally dangerous contents.
