Definitions
- the present invention relates to a packaging container for articles of circular cross-section.
- a packaging container for an article of circular crosssection comprising an open ended tubular elongate body portion of thermo-plastics material. having a polygonal transverse cross-section, with inwardly projecting longitudinal folds formed in at least two of the longitudinal walls of said body portion, to support an article by their resilience.
- FIGURES 1, 3 and 8 are perspective views of three embodiments of packaging container according to the invention, and having a substantially square cross-section;
- FIGURES 2, 4, and 9 are end views of the containers of FIGURES 1, 3 and 8 respectively;
- FIGURE 5 is an end view of a modified form of container having a square cross-section
- FIGURE 6 is a transverse cross-section of the container of FIGURE 5, taken along the line VIVI of FIGURE 7;
- FIGURE 7 is a longitudinal section taken along the line VIIVII of FIGURE 5;
- FIGURE 10 is a perspective view of a triangular crosssection container according to the invention.
- FIGURE 11 is an end view of the container of FIG. URE 10;
- FIGURE 12 is an end view of a modification of the container of FIGURES 10 and 11;
- FIGURES 13 and 14 are end views of two further modified forms of container according to the invention.
- FIGURES 1 and 2 there is illustrated the first embodiment of container according to the invention, including an elongate tubular body A of square cross-section.
- the ends 1 and 2 of the body are open.
- the body itself comprises upper and lower longitudinal faces 3 and 4 and side longitudinal faces 5 and 6 the latter each being provided with two inwardly projecting longitudinal folds 9 and 10 respectively.
- the folds 9 and 10 finish 3,444,991 Patented May 20, 1969 inwardly of the open ends 1 and 2, which are provided with thickened reinforcing portions 7 and 8.
- FIGURES 3 and 4 is essentially similar to the embodiment of FIGURES 1 and 2, except that the upper and lower faces 3 and 4, in the central portion of the length of the body A, are less spaced apart than the portions 12 and 13, to provide a central region of smaller cross-section.
- FIGURES 8 and 9 a similar construction is illustrated, except that each of the walls 3, 4 and 5 and 6 is provided with a single inwardly projecting longitudinal fold 16.
- FIGURE 13 A further embodiment of the square cross-section construction as illustrated in FIGURE 13, in which one of the side walls 6 is provided with a single wide fold 16, while the opposite side wall 5 is provided with two narrower folds 9.
- the embodiment of FIGURE 14 is again of square cross-section with two pairs of folds 9 and 10.
- this construction does not have the reinforcement 7 and 8 at the end faces, and is particularly suitable for production by injection moulding.
- FIGURES l0 and 12 are generally similar, but are of triangular cross-section.
- wide inwardly projecting longitudinal folds 16 are formed centrally of the three sides of the equilateral triangle cross-section body portion.
- the folds 16 are formed at the juncture of the sides of the triangle.
- the article to be packaged e.g. a pharmaceutical ampoule, is indicated by the reference numeral 11.
- the tubular body is made of a tin thermoplastic material, and the folds, bulges and reinforcements are constructed by simply forming the walls appropriately.
- the folds are given such a form and arrangement that the circular section article to be packaged is held in position by friction, by the cooperation of the various folds.
- the packaging container of the present invention has been especially produced for the packaging of pharmaceutical ampoules, both of the bottle type and the two point type, it will be appreciated that the container is suitable for packaging other circular section articles, such as injection syringes and radio valves. Similarly it would be also possible to use the container for less fragile or non-fragile articles.
- the container of the invention may be made of any thermo-plastic material such as cellulose esters, e.g. cellulose acetate or cellulose acetobutyrate.
- cellulose esters e.g. cellulose acetate or cellulose acetobutyrate.
- polyvinyl esters such as polyvinyl acetochloride or polyvinyl chloride may be used.
- polyolefines such as polyethylene and polypropylene, polyamides, polycarbonates and compounds such as high impact polystyrene, may also be used.
- the ampoule carrier For economic reasons, it is advantageous to construct the ampoule carrier with as small a thickness as possible and a thickness of between 0.1 and -1 mm., preferably 0.15 to 0.5 mm., will be generally suitable.
- the container can be made by any normal technique such as injection moulding, blow extrusion and forming under vacuum.
- the container has many advantages over existing types, including lightness, easy manipulation, more particularly for automatic packaging, and also excellent protection of the article being packaged, particularly against lateral shock.
- ampoule carrier constructed according to the invention a construction which was generally similar to that illustrated in FIGURES 3 and 4 was produced and was specifically designed for a 2 cc. bottle ampoule having a length of 60 mm. and a diameter of 6 mm.
- the length of the container was 70 mm., and its overall cross-section was 2-5 x 25 mm.
- the faces 3 and 4 being slightly curved in re-entrant manner, the faces 5 and 6 being plane and provided with two folds 9 and 10, 35 mm. in length at the base and 25 mm. at the crest.
- the folds had a base width of '3 mm. and a total height of 7 mm.
- the reinforcements 7 and 8, at the end faces 1 and 2 were formed as grooves having an internal width of 1 mm.
- the assembly was made from high density polyethylene having a white pigment and a thickness of 0.15 mm. by a conventional blow extrusion technique. The resulting package has a weight of 5 grams.
- Packaging container for a pharmaceutical ampoule or the like comprising in combination:
- thermoplastic material of polygonal transverse cross-section (a) an elongate body portion of thermoplastic material of polygonal transverse cross-section;
