Definitions

  • the invention relates to a packaging unit for two substances to be stored separately from one another and to be mixed before use, in particular for a liquid and a powdery substance.
  • the invention comprises a first container and a second container which is movably suspended in the neck of the first container. The second container is moved by screwing on the closure cap of the first container and opened in the process.
  • the present invention encompasses
  • a closure cap that extends across the opening area.
  • Packing units of this type are required in order to be able to keep substances which are mixed only stable for a short time between the time of manufacture and use by the end user over a longer period of time in accordance with the specified mixing ratio.
  • the individual substances can be kept for a sufficiently long time, so that normal transport and storage times are unproblematic. Possibly.
  • expiry dates must be observed.
  • the use of such packaging units enables the end user to produce the mixtures themselves immediately before use, so that he is independent of the pharmacist, who would otherwise have to mix the preparations for one or a small number of applications.
  • Packaging units of this type are u. a. have become known from European patent applications 0 093 090, 0 344 849, 0 577 200 and 0 599 189.
  • the bottom of the second container inserted into the opening area of the first container is at least partially separated out by actuating the closure cap by means of a sharp object, so that the powder of the second container can be introduced into the liquid of the first container and the substances can be mixed .
  • the translational movement of the sharp object in the direction of and through the bottom of the second container is brought about by a translatory or rotating movement of the closure cap after a locking ring has been removed, which prevents unwanted movement of the closure cap and thus inadvertent opening of the second container ,
  • the known packaging units have the disadvantage that the opening of the second container is only possible by actuating the closure cap which destroys the material, and there is always the risk that smaller fragments arise which are separated from the second container and / or lid and fall into the mixture. Even if the consumption of such fragments is harmless to the health of the end user, they are perceived as unpleasant and annoying.
  • Another disadvantage is that in some embodiments the separated bottom remains connected to the second container via a bridge. In these cases, when pouring liquid, the bottom can be moved back into the bottle neck and close it.
  • Another disadvantage of the known packaging unit is that the closure cap simultaneously serves as a closure for the second container and the first container.
  • the packaging units must therefore be filled with liquid and powder be carried out immediately in succession.
  • the second containers cannot be filled separately from the first container in terms of location and time, because they cannot be closed independently and can be transported and stored as a separate product.
  • packaging units are only suitable for producing a single portion of the mixture, because the cap is not designed to reliably re-close the first container after the securing ring has been removed.
  • Such packaging units are considerably less economical than those with which quantities of mixtures can be produced which comprise a number of individual portions corresponding to the shelf life of the mixture.
  • the invention is based on the object of avoiding the disadvantages of the known packaging units and of proposing an alternative which is inexpensive to manufacture and which can be handled by the end user without any problems.
  • the second container (4) comprises a pot-like lower part (8) closed at the bottom, the largest outside diameter of which is smaller than the inside diameter of the constriction and an adjoining upwardly open upper area, which may have a middle and an upper part,

  • the outer diameter of the second container is approximately the same as the inner diameter of the Constriction "understood that the second container can be plug-in connected to the constriction at the point of this outer diameter.
  • the connection is preferably leakproof with respect to moisture or a liquid such as water.
  • the first container has an abdominal area, followed by a tapered shoulder area and then a bottle neck.
  • the bottle neck preferably has a smaller inner diameter than the inner diameter of the belly area.

  • the top edge of the throat may serve to limit the downward movement of the second container.
  • means are attached to the second container which can rest on the upper edge.
  • the bottle neck has no additional constriction, but the bottle neck itself takes over the function of the same (bottle neck acting as a constriction), in particular the function of a sealing point. The function the top edge of the bottleneck then takes over the top edge of the bottle neck.
  • a bottle neck with a low height is advantageous. Therefore, within the scope of the present invention, in principle, the same can be replaced with a bottleneck acting as a constriction in every embodiment with a constriction.
  • the term “bottleneck” with a constriction is mainly used in this description. Unless otherwise apparent from the context, the term constriction also stands for a bottleneck that acts as a constriction. However, preferred are embodiments with a constriction independently formed in the bottle neck.
  • the second container is such that when the packaging unit is closed for the first time it is located in the neck of the first container, where it sits in the narrow neck of the bottle neck so that it sits firmly on the one hand but can be moved axially on the other.

  • the outside of the cup-like cover lies sealingly against the inside of the second container, preferably at the level of the middle part.
  • cutouts serve briefly as an air outlet path for air which is displaced from the interior of the second container during the closing process.

  • the opened second container can now fall into the belly of the first container. The substance of the second container is thus released for mixing with the substance of the first container.
  • a cylindrical extension can be formed on the inner cylinder of the closure cap, which engages non-positively from above in the cup-like region of the lid of the second container during the downward movement of the closure cap.
