Definitions

  • This invention relates to a disposable bottle for fluid products, particularly suitable for containing products of the pharmaceutical, medicinal or cosmetic type.
  • bottles made of polymeric material for packaging one or more doses of fluid, liquid or pasty products.
  • the known bottles can be of the re-closable or disposable type and generally comprise a containment body of a predetermined dose of product, substantially tubular and extended in shape, with one end having a neck, at the top of which a product dispensing mouth is defined.
  • the opposite end of the containment body has an opening for introducing the product, which is closed after filling, e.g. by soldering.
  • Closing means associated with the bottle in a removable way on the neck, permit closing the dispensing mouth.
  • the containment body and the closing means can be made separately, by means of shaping methods such as the injection moulding, and can then be assembled together or, alternatively, they can be made in a single body piece and then separated before being used by a user.
  • the containment body also has a pair of fins that make it easier for the user to hold the bottle, and which extend, in a totally opposite direction, from the outer side surface of the containment body.
  • the known bottles can be produced in single units or associated in series
  • disposable bottles that, generally, comprise closing means having a shutter element which is associated, in a removable way, with the neck of the containment body, at the dispensing mouth, and along a pre- established pre-breaking area.
  • the containment body and the closing means are composed of a single body piece, by means of a single mould.
  • the shutter element and the dispensing mouth are connected together along the pre-breaking area (with the airtight closing of the dispensing mouth), which allows the detachment of the closing means from the containment body the first time the bottle is opened.
  • These known bottles are however susceptible to upgrading, in particular in order to provide high safety requirements, restricting the possibilities of product contamination or, in any case, indicating the possible contamination of the product itself.
  • the known bottles can in fact be subject to tampering or accidental damage due, e.g., to knocks during the manufacturing, handling and transport phases, with consequent opening of the dispensing mouth and contamination of the product by external agents.
  • the bottles can be upgraded in order to satisfy the requirement, established by increasingly more restrictive European standards, to insert information relating to the product on each single bottle (instead of on the entire strip and in addition to those commonly indicated on the pack and/or on additional printed leaflets).
  • Such information which can include, for example, information on product dosage, on the packaging and/or expiry date, etc., is generally stamped on the bottle gripping fins by printing or the application of labels or the like.
  • the main aim of this invention is to provide a disposable bottle for fluid products, particularly pharmaceuticals, medicines or cosmetics, that allows achieving the above upgrading.
  • another object of this invention is to cater for the above aims with a simple structure, of relatively practical implementation, safe to use and with effective operation, as well as having a relatively low cost.
  • this upgraded disposable bottle for fluid products comprising a hollow containment body for containing a fluid product, a neck that extends from an end of said hollow body and which has at least one dispensing mouth for dispensing said product, closing means having at least one shutter element of said dispensing mouth and associated in a removable way with said neck along a pre-established pre-breaking area, characterized in that it comprises tearable elements suitable for connecting, without interruption, said closing means with said hollow body.
  • figure 1 shows a front view of a plurality of bottles associated together and arranged in series, according to the invention
  • figure 2 shows a section view along the section plane II-II of figure 1
  • figure 3 is an axonometric view of the plurality of bottles according to the invention.
  • the bottle 1 is normally made using polymeric materials, of the polyethylene (PE) or polypropylene (PP) type, and using shaping methods such as the injection moulding.
  • the bottle 1 comprises a hollow containment body 2 for containing the product, substantially tubular and extended in shape, which extends at one end in a neck
  • the neck 3 is substantially cylindrical, coaxial with the hollow body 2, and has a segment with cross-section substantially decreasing, towards the dispensing mouth 4.
  • the bottle 1 comprises closing means 6 having a shutter element 7 of the dispensing mouth 4, which is associated in a removable way with the neck 3, at the dispensing mouth 4, and along a pre-established pre-breaking area P.
  • the hollow body 2 and the closing means 6 therefore are made in a single body piece, without interruption, inside the same mould; the shutter element 7 and the dispensing mouth 4 are connected together along the pre-breaking area P, which permits the detachment of the closing means 6 from the hollow body 2 for the first opening of the bottle 1.
  • the closing means 6 comprise a grip 8 which, at a lower portion
  • the shutter element 7 is substantially shaped like an overturned truncated cone, with the minor cross-section portion associated in a removable way with the dispensing mouth 4, by interposition of the above-mentioned pre-breaking area
  • the bottle 1 comprises tearable elements, composed of a pair of deformable braces 9 suitable for connecting, without interruption, the grip 8 to the neck 3 of the hollow body 4.
  • the braces 9 are arranged on opposite sides with respect to the longitudinal axis of the neck 4 (and of the shutter element 7), and have an end associated with the lower portion 8a, and the opposite end having a weakened section, which comprises, e.g., predefined breaking lines, and which is associated with the outer surface of the neck 3.
  • braces 9 cannot however be ruled out, with connection at different portions of the grip 8 and of the hollow body 2, and with different number and arrangement of the above-mentioned weakened section.
  • the grip 8 has a substantially plate-shaped upper portion 8b for supporting information, data or logos, of the type of information about the product dosage, illustrations on how to use the product, information about the product type or the expiry date of the product, etc.
  • the above indications are printed on a label 10, and the upper portion 8b of the grip 8 is shaped to define a substantially rectangular plane, (for example square) suitable for accommodating the label 10 itself with interposition of a layer of glue.
  • the label 10 is of the self-adhesive label type.
  • the information, the data and the logos can be impressed by printing directly on the upper portion 8b of the grip 8.
  • the bottles 1 can be produced in series to create subsequently packed and distributed strips.
  • each of the bottles 1 has a pair of gripping fins 11 defined as protruding and diametrically opposite to each other on the outer side surface of the hollow body 4.
  • the bottles 1 arranged successively are associated in a first predefined weakened area 12, composed of a pre-breaking line defined between the two adjacent grips 8, and along a second weakened area 13, composed of a pre-breaking line (of a lower cross-section, etc.) defined between the two adjacent gripping fins 11.
  • single labels 10 can be applied on the upper portions of each of the grips 8 of the bottles 1.
  • the label 10 can extend over the entire surface defined by the respective upper portions 8b of all the grips 8 of the strip.
  • the label 10 can extend over the entire surface defined by the respective upper portions 8b of all the grips 8 of the strip. In this case, the label
  • 10 can comprise a breaking section, of the cut type, of an opportune shape, etc., defined at the cutting line that represents the first weakened area 12 between one grip 8 and the next.
  • the label 10 in an initial phase (after packaging) can comprise a plurality of pages folded over one another with interposition of respective breaking sections.
  • the label 10 is laid and applied (e.g., by interposition of glue) on the upper portions 8b of the adjacent grips 8, with arrangement of the breaking sections at respective first weakened areas 12.
  • the presence of the pair of braces also ensures the greater strength of the bottles and the greater rigidity of the strips during the manufacturing, handling or transport stages, further restricting the possibilities of product contamination as a result of damage.
  • a further advantage is offered by the particular shape of the upper portion of the grip which makes it easier to insert all the requested information (of different type and with different objects), in a readable way directly on the bottle, alternatively or in addition to the information commonly inserted on the gripping fins, on the pack or on separate printed leaflets.
  • the fact is also underscored that, with special reference to strips of bottles containing different products, the large usable surface at the grip permits inserting all the information required to describe the single products.
  • the invention thus conceived is susceptible of numerous modifications and variations, all of which falling within the scope of the inventive concept. Furthermore all the details may be replaced by other elements which are technically equivalent. In practice, the materials used, as well as the contingent shapes and dimensions, may be any according to requirements without because of this moving outside the protection scope of the following claims.
