Definitions

  • the invention relates to a container for pills, and to a method of forming such a container.
  • ‘child resistant’ containers have been successful in reducing the death rate from accidental poisoning among young children who have gained access to containers holding pharmaceutical drugs prescribed for others.
  • the opening of such ‘child resistant’ containers has required both manual dexterity and some physical force; and may use a cognitive skill, like two step handling (e.g. push and turn).
  • the combined requirement for dexterity and strength has put the opening of such containers beyond the capabilities of young children.
  • the invention provides a container for pills and the like, and having a closure which may be released by a compressive force applied between two opposed locations on the exterior, and which, after release, may be opened by application of pressure acting at right angles to the compressive force, the pressure causing the closure to rotate about an axis parallel to the direction of he compressive force, so to open an aperture leading to the interior of the container.
  • the invention also provides a container for pills and the like, and comprising a shell, a closure for that shell, a pivotal mounting in the shell for the closure so that the closure is arranged for rotation on an axis to rock between a closed position in which the closure seals the shell, and an open position in which the closure can dispense a pill or the like from the interior of the shell through an aperture, in which there is a detent arranged to secure the closure in its closed position, and a point on the surface of the shell to which pressure can be applied to release the detent and so allow the closure to be rocked from its closed position to its open position.
  • pressure to release the closure member is applied directly.
  • pressure to release the closure is applied though a suitably flexible point or points on an external part or parts of the container or container shell.
  • the aperture is on the opposite side of the axis to the position of application of pressure.
  • the container has an associated small sealable space for safe retention of a pill or a portion of a pill.
  • the small sealable space is located in the closure.
  • a sleeve or channel is used both to hold the container together and to carry notices or directions relating to pills to be stored in the container.
  • the invention also provides a method of forming a container as described above, the method comprising the steps of arranging two half portions of the container in proximity with each other, with the closure trapped between parts adapted to allow rocking movement of the closure, and then locking the two half portions together with a sleeve or channel.
  • the two half portions are connected together along a flexible hinge line, so that they can be arranged in proximity with each other by folding them together about the hinge line.
  • the two half portions are brought into proximity with each other as separate entities.
  • FIG. 1 is a view from one side and slightly above a container for pills or the like;
  • FIG. 2 is a view from one end and above that container with a small sealable space open;
  • FIG. 3 is a side elevation
  • FIG. 4 is an end elevation
  • FIG. 5 is a similar end elevation showing operability of the container
  • FIG. 6 is a transparent view of the container, showing operable parts
  • FIG. 7 is a perspective view showing a closure for the container
  • FIG. 8 is a sketch of a top portion of a non child-resistant variant of the container.
  • FIG. 9 is a cross sectional view showing a vertical section through that container.
  • FIG. 10 is a sketch of a top portion of another variant of the container, showing an additional child resistant feature:
  • FIG. 11 is a cross sectional view showing a vertical section through the top of the variant shown in FIG. 10 ;
  • FIGS. 12 and 13 are cross sectional views showing transverse cross sections through a container, and illustrating operability of detents to secure the container in a closed condition;
  • FIG. 14 is a diagram showing a first stage in assembly of the container shown in FIGS. 1 to 6 ;
  • FIG. 15 is another diagram showing that stage in assembly of the container
  • FIG. 16 is a diagram showing a second stage in the assembly of the container.
  • FIGS. 17 to 19 are diagrams corresponding to FIGS. 14 to 16 , and showing another method of assembly.
  • FIGS. 1 to 6 A container for pills, capsules, tablets or the like is shown in FIGS. 1 to 6 .
  • the container has a hollow shell 10 , surmounted by a closure member 11 .
  • the closure member 11 is arranged to rock on an axis between trunnions 12 (best seen in FIGS. 6 and 7 ), so that it is movable between a closed position, in which it seals the shell, and an open position, in which it is possible for a pill or the like to be dispensed from the interior of the shell.
  • the container is standing on a flat horizontal surface, and the trunnions 12 lie on a horizontal axis.
  • a shield portion 14 on the member 11 blocks a notch 15 in the top of the shell 10 .
  • the shield portion 14 is raised to allow access to the interior of the shell 10 through the notch 15 .
  • the container has a locking mechanism.
  • the locking mechanism comprises two opposed points 16 on the surface of the shell 10 .
  • the points 16 are formed as very thin layers of the plastic shell, and are sufficiently flexible to permit inward deflection (i.e. towards each other).
  • the flexibility of the strips 18 allows pressure on the points 16 to deflect the buttons 17 inwardly within the shell 10 .
  • Inward deflection of the buttons 17 allows the buttons to disengage from detents (not shown in FIGS. 1 to 7 , but well illustrated in FIGS. 12 and 13 relating to a variant of the container).
  • the points 16 are formed as open holes which allow direct access to the buttons 17 .
  • the end of the closure member 11 nearer to the shield portion 14 has a small sealable space 20 .
  • the space 20 is closed by a lid 19 .
  • the lid 19 is hingedly mounted on the closure member 11 by a short flexible strap 21 .
  • the strap 21 allows the lid 19 to be moved upwardly away from the space 20 to allow insertion or removal of a pill or half a pill as the user may require.
  • FIGS. 8 and 9 Two variants of containers according to the invention are shown in FIGS. 8 and 9 , and FIGS. 10 and 11 respectively.
  • FIGS. 8 and 9 show a shell 30 associated with a closure member 31 , which is rockable on trunnions 32 .
  • the shell has a notch 35
  • the closure member 31 has a shield portion 34 .
  • Unlocking of the closure member 31 (not shown in FIGS. 8 and 9 ), followed by depression of the closure member by pressure B′, allows the dispensing of a pill from within the shell 30 . In the absence of a locking mechanism, this variant is less child resistant.
  • FIGS. 10 and 11 show a second variant of a container according to the invention, having an additional child resistant feature.
  • a shell 40 has a closure member 41 , and after unlocking, and depression of additional button 50 , pressure B′′ rocks the closure member anticlockwise (as seen in FIG. 11 ) to allow the dispensing of a pill from within the shell 40 .
  • the shell 40 has apertures 46 a , through which buttons 47 can be pushed inwardly through the shell 40 to release the closure member 41 .
  • FIG. 12 shows the buttons 47 being pushed together by pressure A′′
  • FIG. 13 shows the closure member 41 being pushed down by pressure B′′.
  • the flexible points 16 of the embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 to 7 are not required, as pressure A′′ is applied directly to the buttons 47 .
  • buttons are not essential to the operation of the container according to the invention.
  • FIGS. 14 to 16 and 17 to 19 Two methods of assembly for containers according to the invention are shown in FIGS. 14 to 16 and 17 to 19 respectively. Both methods will be described with reference to the container shown in FIGS. 1 to 7 .
  • the shell 10 is moulded in two halves 10 a and 10 b , joined along a flexible hinge line 22 .
  • the container is assembled by pivoting the halves 10 a and 10 b upwardly together.
  • the closure member 11 is positioned between them, so that trunnions 12 engage with pivot holes (not shown) on the inside of the shell 10 .
  • the two halves 10 a and 10 b are forced together, so trapping the buttons 17 in proximity with the flexible points 16 .
  • a ‘U’ shaped channel 23 is then forced over the halves 10 a and 10 b (as shown in FIG. 16 ) to keep those halves permanently on contact with each other.
  • the ‘U’ shaped channel 23 may be used to carry promotional material, and/or written description of the contents and dosage of the pills to be kept in the container.
  • a single shell 10 formed as a single moulding could be used for many different pills, with the channel 23 being used to identify the particular pills within the container.
  • FIGS. 17 to 19 An alternative method of assembly is shown in FIGS. 17 to 19 .
  • the two halves of the shell are formed as discrete parts (i.e. un-joined by any hinge line 22 ).
  • the two half shells 10 a and 10 b are brought together around the closure member 11 .
  • a ‘U’ shaped channel 23 is then forced over the halves to keep those halves permanently in contact with each other.
  • the purpose of the container is to prevent access by children to pharmaceutical drugs within the container, while allowing elderly or infirm adults to have easy access to those drugs.
