Set of blanks for forming a letter box deliverable container for pouch packages

TECHNICAL FIELD

The present disclosure relates to a set of blanks for forming a letter box deliverable container for pouch packages.

The invention also pertains to a method for of producing a letter box deliverable container and to such a letter box deliverable container for pouch packages.

BACKGROUND ART

A device of this kind is described in British patent application GB2578126A. The prior art device comprises a blank for forming a box suitable for storing a plurality of packaged items. Although this configuration is dimensioned such that it can fit through a letter box, the box is not adapted for safe and user-friendly delivery of pouch packages to users via letter box delivery. Pouch packages are commonly used for distributing all kinds of goods and are in particular suitable for distribution of individualized daily portions of medicines, e.d. for patients who need to take multiple type of medicines. Known medicine dispatch and pouch packaging devices, such as the

Yuyama YS-TR-520FDSII are configured for securely packaging a daily dose of multiple medicines into an array of pouches, such that a patient can open a single pouch a day or per intake moment, where such pouch contains all medicines prescribed for that day or that specific intake moment. Another typical application using pouch packages is provided in European patent application EP 1464023 by Baxter International.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

In a first aspect of the present invention, the set of blanks for forming a letter box deliverable container for pouch packages, comprises a first blank for forming a letter box deliverable box comprising a top panel having a leading edge and an opposing trailing edge, which trailing edge is connected to a leading edge of a front panel, which front panel is connected at its trailing edge to a leading edge of a bottom panel, which bottom panel is connected at its trailing edge to a leading edge of a back panel, which back panel is connected at its trailing edge to a leading edge of a privacy panel, further comprising two or more opposing side panels connected to opposing sides of the top panel, the front panel, the bottom panel and/or the back panel for closing the sides of the letter box deliverable container, wherein the top panel comprises at least one at least partially removeable perforated access areas adjacent the trailing edge of the top panel, and wherein the privacy panel comprises a first adhesion area to cooperate with a receiving first adhesion area at the leading edge of the top panel to form a first adhesive bond between the privacy panel and the leading edge of the top panel, and wherein the privacy panel further comprises a second adhesion area distal from the first adhesion area to cooperate with a receiving second adhesion area on the top panel between the leading edge and the removeable perforated access areas; the set of blanks further comprising a second blank for forming an inlay for the letter box deliverable box formed by the first blank, the second blank comprising a first support panel longitudinally connected to a first access panel and laterally connected to a first divider panel, which first divider panel is laterally connected to a second divider panel, which second divider panel is laterally connected to a second support panel, which second support panel is longitudinally connected to a second access panel;

wherein the set of blanks i; configured such that the longitudinal dimension of the first and second divider panels of the second blank are substantially the same as the distance between the leading edge and the trailing edge of the top panel of the first blank, and the accumulated lateral dimensions of the first and second support panels of the second blank are substantially equal to the lateral dimension of the top panel of the first blank.

A set of blanks according to the present invention, comprises the individual blanks as defined in this specification. The blanks may be cut from a single sheet of pliable/creaseable sheet or web, or may be synthesized from multiple individual panels which are adhered to each other in accordance with the definition setout herein. Within this disclosure the end product formed by the blanks as defined is a box with substantially rectangular angles between panels. The blanks as disclosed herein may consist of a single material of a compound of multiple materials and/or coatings, such as e.g. cardboard, plasticized cardboard, synthetic webs, plastic and the like. Blanks are dimensioned as sheets or webs, i.e. the thickness of the material is factors smaller than the length and width in the plane of the sheet. The blanks may be formed out of the same material or may differ from each other.

The resulting letter box deliverable container formed from such blanks can be delivered to end-users by delivery in a letter box. Although similar, these dimensions may differ from country to country and are specified by National and/or regional postal services. It is explicitly not intended to fold, tear down or otherwise damage the container in order to deliver it via a letter box. It will be clear to the person skilled in the arts that “letter box deliverable box” or “letter box deliverable container” means that at least one projection of such container needs to be suitable to fit through a standardized letter box slot.

The privacy panel as defined herein connects the surrounding planes of the box with each other by bonding the first adhesion area of the top panel with the first adhesion area of the privacy panel. The bond can be applied by any suitable means such as e.g. glue, adhesion strips, double sided adhesive tape and the like. The top panel of the resulting box is very suitable for printing medication indications and/or brand names and/or dosage and/or instructions on. However, this type of information is highly confidential and privacy sensitive information, that should not be disclosed during transport and/or delivery of such parcel. Therefore, the privacy panel is configured to cover a portion of the top panel, e.g. the portion on which the sensitive information is printed and is adhered at the second adhesion area distal from the first adhesion area.

The top panel comprises at least one at least partially removeable perforated access areas adjacent the trailing edge of the top panel. This at least one access area is intact (closed) during production of the box and during delivery. An end user may tear away the perforated access area.

The side panels are used to close the sides of the box.

These sides can be formed by folding one or more panels that are connected to any one or more of the top, bottom, front and/or back panels.

The second blank forms an inlay in conjunction with the box as formed by the first blank. The dimensions of the second blank are chosen such that the support panels form a bottom surface of the inlay, while the divider panels are folded substantially perpendicular to this bottom surface to form a divider wall inside of the box. The inlay comprises access panels which are connected to the support panels and are separated from the divider panels in order to form an inclining ramp from the support panels towards the at least one access area of the top panel.

It is noted that the term “panel” is used herein as a functional delimiter as an area of the blank that fulfils a certain function or takes a certain plane of the final product. A panel may be a single element, a synthesized element consisting of multiple smaller elements or be part of a larger web or sheet, wherein the panel is e.g. delimited by a crease line on such web of sheet.

It is further noted that terms used for the individual panels like “top panel”, “bottom panel”, “side panel”, “front panel” and “back panel” are merely used to relate different panels to each other, it does not impose any limitation to the orientation of the resulting box and/or container in operation.

The term “perforated” and “perforation” are used herein to indicate that the blank and/or the resulting box comprise means and/or are processed such that the relating area can be torn away or at least easily opened. This may also be implemented as a fully though cut line which is held by a sticker or any other means for holding is securely but can be easily opened.

The terms “lateral” and “longitudinal” are used as references to relative perpendicular directions. The terms are not intended to indicate that one of both is necessarily longer than the other.

In terms of the first blank, the longitudinal direction is the direction from the leading edge of the top panel towards the trailing edge of the privacy panel. The lateral direction is the direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction in the plane of the blank.

In an embodiment of the set of blanks for forming a letter box deliverable container for pouch packages according to the invention, the lateral and longitudinal dimensions of the top panel are substantially equal to the lateral and longitudinal dimensions of the bottom panel of the first blank. This configuration contributes to the rectangular character of the resulting box.

In an embodiment of the set of blanks for forming a letter box deliverable container for pouch packages according to the invention, the lateral and longitudinal dimensions of the front panel are substantially equal to the lateral and longitudinal dimensions of the back panel of the first blank. This configuration contributes to the rectangular character of the resulting box.

In an embodiment of the set of blanks for forming a letter box deliverable container for pouch packages according to the invention, the accumulated longitudinal dimension of the first support panel and the first access panel is larger than the distance between the leading edge and the trailing edge of the top panel, such that the access panel forms a ramp when in operation folded upwards when placed inside of the letter box deliverable box formed by the first blank. As the resulting letter box deliverable container is intended or at least suitable for holding at least one array of pouch packages, it is advantageous to have an inclined ramp from the bottom surface to the access opening of the box to guide the array or string of pouch packages towards the exit of the box. By configuring the dimensions of the inlay as defined in this specification, the inlay including the inclined ramp are kept in place by the confinement of the enclosing box itself, therefore no additional support structure is necessary to keep the ramp in its intended position and orientation.

In an embodiment of the set of blanks for forming a letter box deliverable container for pouch packages according to the invention, the lateral dimension of each of the first and second divider panels is substantially equal to the distance between the leading edge and the trailing edge of the front panel and/or the back panel. By this configuration the divider wall fits within the height of the inside oe the letter box deliverable container and at the same time provides additional stiffness to the overall construction of the letter box deliverable container.

In an embodiment of the set of blanks for forming a letter box deliverable container for pouch packages according to the invention, the second blank is configured in relation to the first blank such that when, in operation placed inside the letter box deliverable box formed from the first blank, the first and second support panels form a ground plane to a respective first and second storage space defined by the inside of letter box deliverable box and a divider wall formed by the folded first and second divider panels. By configuring the dimensions of the inlay as defined in this specification, the inlay including the inclined ramp are kept in place by the confinement of the enclosing box itself, therefore no additional support structure is necessary to keep the divider wall in its intended position and orientation, while contributing to the stiffness to the overall construction of the letter box deliverable container.

In an embodiment of the set of blanks for forming a letter box deliverable container for pouch packages according to the invention, the privacy panel comprises a perforated line in lateral direction between the first and second adhesion areas.

The resulting letter box deliverable container may contain printed privacy sensitive information on the top panel of the box under the privacy panel. By tearing the perforated line of the privacy panel, the panel can be lifted to view the printed information and/or instructions while the first adhesion area keeps the integrity of the box as a whole intact.

In an embodiment of the set of blanks for forming a letter box deliverable container for pouch packages according to the invention, the privacy panel of the first blank comprises a removeable tear-out strip between the first and second adhesion area of the privacy panel. Such a tear-out strip may be implemented as a strip of material defined by two lateral perforations and may be reinforced by a strip of tear-resistant material such as a plastic ribbon underneath the surface to assist a user in tearing away (only) the tear-out strip. By tearing out the tear-out strip of the privacy panel, the remainder of the privacy panel results in an openable flap, under which e.g. privacy sensitive printed information or instructions can be accessed.

In a further embodiment of the set of blanks for forming a letter box deliverable container for pouch packages according to the invention, the removeable tear-out strip is located adjacent the second adhesion area. By configuring the tear-out strip adjacent or at least close to the second adhesion area, the amount of privacy panel that will result in an openable flap is maximized.

In an embodiment of the set of blanks for forming a letter box deliverable container for pouch packages according to the invention, the first and second blank are made of cardboard.

Cardboard is very suitable for forming letter box deliverable boxes and may comprise a surface coating to make the cardboard box more resilient against humidity and other elements that may threaten the integrity of the resulting box. Cardboard is further suitable to be printed on directly or to adhere to a sticker comprising instructions and/or information such as address information.

In an embodiment of the set of blanks for forming a letter box deliverable container for pouch packages according to the invention, each of the first and second blank are provided as a single work piece, wherein the outside contours are cut to the predetermined dimensions and the connections between subsequent panels are implemented as crease lines.

In a second aspect of the present invention, a method is provided for producing a letter box deliverable container for pouch packages, comprising the steps of - provide a first and second blank according to the present invention; - fold the first blank to form a letter box deliverable box; - fold the second blank to form an inlay; - provide the folded inlay inside the letter box deliverable box; - provide adhesive to the first and second adhesion areas of the privacy panel and/or to the cooperating receiving areas of the top panel.

In another aspect of the present invention, a letter box deliverable container for pouch packages is provided, comprising a letter box deliverable box formed by a first blank according to the present invention and an inlay formed by a second blank according to the present invention.

In an embodiment of the letter box deliverable container according to the invention, it further comprises at least one array of pouch packages inside the letter box deliverable box.

Pouch packages are commonly used, e.g. in the distribution of individual dosages or portions of medicine such as pills and the like. The pouch packages are commonly implemented as a string or array of pouches, each comprising a certain content, which may be the same over all pouches or vary per pouch depending on the desired application and/or prescription.

In a further embodiment of the letter box deliverable container according to the invention, the leading edge of the at least one array of pouch packages is removably fixed with an adhesive to the first and/or second access panel of the second blank for easy access to the initial pouch package of the array of pouch packages when opening the box in operation via the access area of the top panel of the first blank. By using such adhesive for the first of the array of pouches it is clear for the end-user which pouch to start with and as the sequential pouches are (removably) attached to the first pouch of the array, the rest will conveniently follow when pulling on the array of pouches. It will be appreciated that a container with two divided spaces each comprising a single string or array of pouches is a convenient way of presenting two periods of medication, for example one array per week or per month. Such can be indicated on the top panel or even at the access area thereof.

In an alternative embodiment according to the invention the set of blanks to form a letter box deliverable container for pouch packages comprises an inlay of a different material than the containing box. Examples of such sets include a cardboard box and an inlay of plastic preformed with e.g. a molding or other forming process under elevated temperatures and/or pressure. Such inlay comprises substantially the same elements such as support planes, a divider wall and an access plane.

It will further be appreciated that the container may comprise more than two spaces divided with divider walls, each having their individual access opening in case of multiple weeks, e.g. three or four or more. The width of the access openings will be adapted to the width of the associated pouch packages.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF EMBODIMENTS

The present invention will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings, wherein the same reference numerals have been used to identify the same or similar elements throughout the several views.

It is noted that the drawings are schematic, not necessarily to scale and that details that are not required for understanding the present invention may have been omitted. The terms "upward", "downward", "below, "above", and the like relate to the embodiments as oriented in the drawings, unless otherwise specified. Further, elements that are at least substantially identical or that perform an at least substantially identical function are denoted by the same numeral, where helpful individualized with apostrophe suffixes.

Figure 1 schematically illustrates a top view of an example of a first blank for forming a letter box deliverable box. The blank for forming a letter box deliverable box is cut from a plane sheet of cardboard. The outside boundaries are cut through with an automated knife, the fold lines are pressed into the blank and the perforation lines are perforated in an automated fashion. The blank comprises a top panel 10 having a leading edge 11 here on the left hand side of the figure. The top panel comprises an information area 12 which is intended to receive information about the contents of the box, instructions, dose information and the like. This information may be printed directly on the box or may e.g. be printed on a sticker which is subsequently mounted at the Information area 12. The top panel 10 further comprises two perforated partially removeable perforated access areas 17a, 17b adjacent the trailing edge of the top panel 10 at the trailing edge of the top panel 10. The trailing edge of the top panel 10 is connected to a leading edge of front panel 20 by means of a fold line which is pressed in the cardboard.

Front panel 20 is connected at its trailing edge to a leading edge of a bottom panel 30, which bottom panel 30 is connected with a fold line at its trailing edge to a leading edge of a back panel 40. The back panel 40 is connected with another fold line at its trailing edge to a leading edge of a privacy panel 70. The privacy panel 70 consists of multiple subpanels 50, 60, 65, 62 and 63 in this embodiment.

Subpanel 50 has an adhesion area 75 with engages with adhesion area 74 on top panel 10. The adhesive connection is made by means of a strip of (hot) glue at the time the box is formed.

Alternatively the adhesive area is provided with a piece of two side adhesive sticker.

In any implementation it will be appreciated that the adhesive connection between 75 and 74 is made such that the box gains a constructive integrity between the panels.

Subpanels 60 and 65 cover the information area 12. As the information area 12 is intended to comprise privacy sensitive information such as medication information, dosing information or the like, the subpanels 60, 65 cover this information such that privacy is safe guarded during transportation and/or distribution of the box.

Sub panel 63 is again a panel that is adhered to the top panel 10 when forming the box or after filling and putting the information in information area 12. In this implementation the adhesion of subpanel 63 to top panel 10 is provided by industrial (hot) glue.

In between subpanels 65 and 63 is a perforated subpanel 62 connected to subpanels 65 and 63 by means of a perforation line.

This subpanel 62 is a tear away strip that can be removed completely in order to reveal the information area 12 of top panel 10.

In order to close the sides of the box, a couple of side panels 15a, 15b are connected by means of fold lines to the top panel 10, as well as side panels 254, 25b to panel 20, side panels 35a, 35b to bottom panel 30, side panels 45a, 45b to panel 40.

These may be folded such that they are closed by the fold itself or may be provided with an adhesive to strengthen the mechanical consistency of the formed box.

Figures 2A-2D schematically illustrate an example of a letter box deliverable container. In Figure 2A is a schematic top view of a letter box deliverable container. The perforated tear away strip 62 is perforated such that the remaining subpanel 65 comprises flaps 61la and 61b after removal of perforated panel 62. These flaps can be inserted in two pre-cut slits (not shown) in the top panel 10 to temporarily close the privacy panel 70 after opening. In particular in environments where end users are in a communal environment, such as a hospital or an elderly home, it is advantageous that the privacy panel can be closed after opening to guard the end users privacy.

Figure 2B is a schematic bottom view of a letter box deliverable container. Figure 2C is a schematic side view of a letter box deliverable container wherein the side panels 15b, 25b and 35b are folded and closed with adhesive (hot) glue to close the box and provide structural integrity to the box. It will be clear to a skilled person that the order of the side panels is of less importance, as long as the contents of the box are well contained and protected from falling out or being damaged. At the opposite side of the box (not shown), side panels 15a, 2ba and 35a have the same engagement.

Figure 2D is a schematic front view of a letter box deliverable container showing front panel 20.

Figure 3 schematically ustrates a perspective view of an example of a letter box deliverable container in relation to the embodiment as described above.

Figure 4 and 5A-5Bschematically illustrates a second blank for forming an inlay 100 for a letter box deliverable box formed by a first blank of a set of blanks. This blank is cut at the outside lines from a cardboard plane sheet and the connecting lines between the panels are pressed into the cardboard to facilitate easy folding. Although multiple configurations are possible, the inlay 100 formed with this blank comprises two compartments separated with a divider wall in between. The inlay 100 comprises two support panels forming the base of the inlay.

These support panels 110a, 110b are intended to carry the contents of the box, e.g. an array of pouch packages. The support panels are connected to each other by means of two divider panels 130a, 130b. By folding the first divider panel 130a upward, while folding the fold line between 130a and 130b downward a divider wall is formed between the support panels 110a, 110k. This divider wall formed by panels 130a and 130b is substantially perpendicular to the plane of the support panels 110a, 110b. The support planes 110a, 110b are connected to an access panels 120a and 120b respectively by means of a fold line. The access panels 120a, 120b are not connected to the divider panels 130a, 130b. The inlay is configured such that the inlay and the box formed with the first blank 1 engage with each other such that the box substantially fully encloses the support planes 110a, 110b, in other words the accumulated widths of support panels 110a, 110b are substantially equal to the associated dimension of the top and bottom panels of the box.

The height of the formed box accommodates the height of the divider panels 130a, 130b and the length of the divider panels 130a, 130b are accommodatable within the length of the formed box. The accumulated length of the support panel 110a and the access panel 120a, as well as the accumulated length of the support panel 110b and access I 120b are larger than the length of the top and bottom panels, such that the access panels 120a, 120b are pivotable/foldable tilting upward in the box when enclosed. The tilted panels facilitate the array of pouch packages to slide upward towards the access panels 17a, 17b of the box as shown in Figure 6 which schematically illustrates a perspective view of an inlay for a letter box deliverable box in conjunction with a letter box deliverable box. The tilted access panels of the inlay 100 form a slide from the support panels at the bottom of the box towards the opening of the access areas 17a, 17b at the top panel 10. The slide formed by access panels 120a, 120b each comprise a spot of adhesive such as a sticker or drop of glue to stick the first pouch package of the array onto the top of the slide, such that when opening the panels 17a, 17b the first pouch package is easily accessible from the outside as shown in Figure 7.

Typically the pouch packages are a series of connected pouches each containing a specific amount of pills or other individualized portions, such that an end user can open a single pouch at each dosing moment, e.g. every day. It will be appreciated that the box with two compartments is very suitable for containing pouch packages with medication for one week each.

Typical pouch packages are of the type baxter bag or baxter roll, or similar commercially available alternatives. These pouches are accurately filled, checked and sealed such that an end user can safely open a single pouch a time, in order to get the prescribed dose of medicine each dosing moment. Typically an end user uses a pouch a day, or for example a pouch in the morning, afternoon and evening. Each pouch may be labeled with its contents and may contain multiple types of medicine if the character of such medicine allows for such combination. The brand information and dosing information will also be printed on the information area 12 of the top panel 10. The box filled with the inlay and pouch packages will typically be e.g. filled, controlled, checked and distributed by a pharmacy and distributed via postal services. Therefore the outside dimensions of the box as formed by the set of blanks will typically fulfil the requirements of the national or regional postal service in order to be able to distributed via such postal service into the mailbox of end users, or e.g. to a centralized address of a care taker for the end users.
