Definitions

  • This invention relates to a device for the storage, examination and use directly from the device of a wide range of substances in small quantities.
  • the device itself also is an applicator of the contained substance thus allowing the contained substance to be applied without the user having to touch the contents in any way.
  • the substances may include waxes, oils, powders, creams and liquids either in their pure state or as part of the formulation of another substance.
  • the said device can be used as a syst.em for sampling small quantities of virtually any substance.
  • Many different methods used for packaging and storing substances include glass and plastic jars, tubes made from plastic and metal, cans, sachets and phials. The majority of these methods use an opening procedure based on tearing or cutting the package, unscrewing a cap, or removing a cap or pressed seal.
  • the containers are also designed to carry more material than needed to be a viable means of storage. It is usually uneconomic to store small quantities (such as used for sample purposes) in these containers and in many cases the contents cannot be seen prior to opening the container.
  • Various processes have been tried for
  • SUBSTITUTE SHEET holding small amounts of cosmetics such as lipsticks and powders, some by applying these substances to a carrying sheet and covering them with a second sheet of clear plastic or polyester.
  • the top sheet is either left loose or else held in place by some form of adhesive. None of these metho.ds have been very . successful as the product contained has had to be modified in some way in order to be applied to the base sheet. This means that the sample in the device is not a true physical and chemical rendition of the real substance as sold in larger quantities.
  • the methods of sealing have not always been desirable as some allow the product to leak out or allow the entry of foreign bodies including bacteria into the sample.
  • Tub or depression type containers are of their nature required to be made from rigid materials which can be a restriction to their usage and size.
  • SUBSTITUTE SHEET inherent wastage therefore associated with many substances in different packaging systems costs the user a considerable sum of money as the excess has to be paid for.
  • the device described herein can be used to store and supply directly, sufficient product for a single use as required.
  • the nature of the surface films on the laminates that comprise the device to be described in this invention is such that it will adhere when heated and softened to, a very wide range of other materials.
  • a piece of woven or non-woven fabric of synthetic or natural fibre origin or sponge material can be attached to the said film and then used if desired as a carrying medium for another product such as a powder or liquid.
  • This adhered implant if desired, can be of an existing manufactured product such as a medicinal swab, cotton wool or other desired product. Any of these adhered products can then be sealed into the device with the device providing a totally protective barrier to contamination.
  • SUBSTITUTE SHF.P device differs in that it uses the principle of actual separation of the films along the welded joins. No tearing or cutting of the device is therefore needed to open it.
  • the product contained within the device can be applied by direct application to a surface without the need to firstly remove the substance.
  • This invention relates to a device for applying decorative, cosmetic, medicinal or other substance to surfaces such as animal skin and in particular to the human body.
  • This device is an improvement on a device described in Australian patent applications PH 07859 and PH 03287 and PCT/AU87/00304 in that this device uses two different polymer plastic surfaces on the laminates of which it is constructed ensuring separation of the sealed joins and also has an improved multi-sealing system, enabling the contents to
  • Decorative substances such as that commonly and commercially known as lipstick are usually applied as solid gels, wax or greases by direct application or by means of brushes or an extension from tubes or cylinders.
  • Other cosmetic or medicinal substances such as powders and ointments are applied similarly.
  • the basic device consists of an openable sealed capsule in the form of a preferably flat rectangular, elliptical, circular or other shaped strip.
  • the said capsule is formed by two flat pieces of material, composed of polymer plastic, metal foil or paper with a polymer plastic adhering to its surface.
  • a second seal of the same shape may be formed in close proximity to the first seal.
  • the an ⁇ ulus of unsealed material left between the said first and second seals is desirably no less than 1mm wide causing a physical separation of unwelded material between the two seals.
  • the purpose "of this said annulus is to allow any escaped product from the said first seal to be effectively contained within the said formed space thus lessening the possibility of escape past the second seal.
  • a further seal if required, may then be applied by heat welding a particular shape or pattern at some distance from the said first or second seal and in close proximity to the peripheries of the device. This said seal acts as further security against leakage but need not be the same shape as the said other seal or seals.
  • the said capsule is opened by parting the welded edges of the preferably flat pieces of material by peeling back one of the said pieces, either discarding it or leaving it attached at one sealed edge, enabling the capsule to be closed again after use.

  • a third seal is also fabricated near three of the edges of the now formed capsule extending to the fourth edge but some 10mm away from that edge. At this edge one of the two sheets is cut 2mm shorter than the other sheet to produce a flap to facilitate separation of the said two sheets.

Abstract

Le sachet thermoscellé ouvrable décrit, qui sert à stocker de petites quantités de substances médicinales, cosmétiques ou pharmaceutiques en poudre, fluide, crème et lotion, est fabriqué à partir de deux minces feuilles superposées d'un matériau (A, B), tel que du papier, du métal en feuille ou du plastique polymère, doublé sur une surface d'une couche d'un matériau en plastique polymère soudable. Chacune des deux feuilles dudit matériau comporte un matériau en plastique polymère différent déposé en couche sur sa surface, ces matériaux étant choisis pour ramollir et fondre à une température commune de façon à adhérer l'un à l'autre pour former les zones scellées (C, D, E) du sachet et pour permettre après refroidissement à ces zones scellées de se séparer sans déchirement de la substance contenue. La substance à stocker est attachée à l'une des feuilles avant le scellage et plusieurs joints étanches (C, D) sont formés autour de la substance, de façon à garantir efficacement l'étanchéité du sachet contenant la substance. Après ouverture du sachet par décollement des deux feuilles, la feuille sur laquelle est attachée la substance peut être utilisée comme applicateur.
