Summary the invention

The The present invention provides a single-serving packaging system according to claim 1 available. Furthermore, the invention also provides a method according to claim 7 for packaging single portions available.

The Single-serving packaging system of the invention comprises a combination of elements that form a robust, child resistant packaging. In In this regard, the packaging elements include a flexible one Part consisting of a succession of related Plates; and a rigid molded plastic closure element. The individual packaging can be contained on an assembly inside the packaging interior like a map, a donor or another structural element.

The flexible part may consist of cardboard or of a flexible and foldable plastic material; Cardboard is preferably used. This portion of the package cooperates with the formed closure member to form a rigid frame surrounded by an outer shell. In this regard, typically one or more panels of the paperboard area are at least partially attached to the molded closure member to form the rigid frame, and additional paperboard panels extend above and below the frame to form the outer shell. The panels are cut to fit within the area provided by the plastic portion and may include one or more notches, cutouts, tabs, slots or the like to ensure precise fitting of the paperboard panels into the plastic portion. In this regard, for example, the cardboard sheets forming the top of the package may include slots to allow passage of the locking mechanism formed in the plastic portion. The paperboard panels forming the bottom of the package may also include recessed means, such as notches, cutouts, tabs, around the elements of the carton Manipulating locking mechanism in the packaging.

Of the Cardboard box section can be made from any bleached or unbleached, Coated or uncoated C1S or C2S exist for packaging of applications is suitable. Also, the cardboard can with polymer or other materials laminated for added rigidity and tear resistance to offer, if desired is. Such laminated materials are described in copending co-pending U.S. Pat. Application No. 09 / 951,035. Alternatively, the cardboard section be replaced by another foldable substrate material such as Plastic. Also, it may be formed from a single piece of the substrate material be folded and folded around the respective plates of the packaging to shape, or alternatively can cut individual plates from the substrate material and attach as needed fasten the closure element to form the package.

The shaped closure element comprises as basic elements a closure element and a shutter release element. Some non-limiting embodiments a suitable closure element are described in detail in co-pending U.S. Pat. preliminary Application No. 60 / 305,851, which describes at least one inventor has in common with this application. In such an embodiment The molded closure element of the package includes the rigid ones shaped portions of the above-mentioned frame, and the closure element is formed into a frame, a sliding tongue and a flap.

Of the Frame portion of the closure element consists of vertically connected Plates forming a polygonal packaging frame and frame body which is partially cut out to the elements of the sliding tongue take. additionally for receiving the sliding latch tongue of the frame body also support and strength for the packaging. However, it is not necessary that the frame body made a coherent one uncut plate is formed; rather, this can be shaped be to provide only the frame elements and thus packaging weight eliminate and reduce material costs while at the same time provided the necessary support for the more flexible elements of the packaging becomes. The frame body is by adhesive, mechanical or other means at least one Plate of cardboard part attached. In one embodiment, the molded polygonal frame rectangular; wherein it comprises two end plates, which in contrast to the remaining two side plates of lesser Height and shorter Length are. One of the plates of lesser height and shorter length is preferably located at one end of the frame and provides a support and attachment point for the closure flap, while the other at the other end of the frame opposite the Closing flap is located. The two side plates, which are the rectangular ones Complete the frame, are attached vertically molded to the end plates. Every end the side panels are so easily over the attachment point The corresponding end plate extends beyond that end of each Side plates a stop for supporting the overlapping end plates of the Cardboard box section forms. additional Side or end plates can be present in the framework to provide additional structural support Offer.

In addition to the end and side plates a slot receiving plate is inserted between the side plate and over the basic framework. This plate includes a slot for Recording and engaging in a strip depending on to the shutter and is formed with a thickness sufficient is about this over the frame body to raise and so engage the tongue on its underside allow. The height the slot receiving plate also supports the shutter with closed packaging.

in the Frame body is a sliding tongue accommodated with the Closing flap and the slot receiving plate cooperates, to close the packaging and to secure. The locking tongue is at one end by a pull ring completed. The other end of the closure tongue is integral with one curved dowels connected one up protruding edge, from which there is a lateral strip extends so far out as possible on the curved dowel is positioned. This side strip can with the dependent strip section The flap can be engaged when in the slot receiving plate is introduced. Preferably, the curved Dowels on Place held by a pair of stops that pick up in the slot Plate are formed. In the molded position are the curved ones Dowels and Strip disposed below the slot receiving plate. The sliding tongue can be made of a flexible plastic material be formed as a single component, the curved dowel, however, which works to manipulate the pull ring to move of the strip, preferably made of a plastic be formed, which is more flexible than the material that for education the frame or other elements of the closure element used becomes.

A trigger mechanism is used to deactivate the shutter mechanism which assumes a closed configuration in the formed, unstressed position. In this connection, the triggering mechanism may be a pull ring, a lever or a rod, for example a T-shaped lever. In a preferred embodiment, the triggering mechanism is a circular pull ring. When pulling on the ring, the tongue is caused to retract the bent dowel and side strip from beneath the slot seat. The movement of the latch in the pulling direction is intentionally limited by a pair of stops located in the frame base at a distance apart from the pull ring and by a stop bar horizontally placed across the strip to engage the stoppers. In addition, the stop bar is formed to extend above and beyond the width of the strip so as to hold the strip and pull ring in the same plane as the frame body.

The Closure flap is with an end plate of the molded packaging frame connected by a hinge mechanism. Preferably exists this mechanism in the form of a release joint that is formed together is with the flap. Optionally, the flap can Include finger grips that allow the user easy access. A dependent Strip is attached to one end of the flap, preferably near its middle area. The dependent strip comprises one Slot according to the side strip attached to the tongue. The locking mechanism is secured when the dependent strip engages in the slot recording and the side strip in the slot in the dependent Strip intervenes.

Of the Cardboard section of the package is on the molded plastic section attached by any suitable means. Where the packaging according to the invention is used to process single-serving materials such as pharmaceuticals, medicines, Dietary supplements etc., may include a single-serving receiving means in the packaging interior be. Other consumer goods and a wide range of materials also by means of this type of container be packed if the output of single quantities is desired. Such elements can be selected from blisters, bags, pillows, foil liners and other encapsulating containers, all were formed from conventional means, and can attached to the cardboard section that forms the package, or at one as a separate storage element introduced into the container Map. For example, if a blister card is incorporated into the packaging, The blister card may be formed as one or more extensions forming the top, bottom and sides of the package Paperboard panel.

children resistance in part by activation of the safety closure means described herein to disposal posed. To close the package, the cardboard section is extended over the frame body and Pressure is exerted in the area of the dependent strip to prevent the To engage strips with the slot in the receiving plate. If the dependent Strip with the slot in attack, he slides behind the protruding side strip to lock together. In the fully closed position the side strip exercises on the Side of the corresponding strip from a positive force, which it is made difficult, the dependent Strip to remove without applying a reasonable amount of pressure to to release the side strip. The complete closed position represents the position in which the closure element is formed.

A more skillful method is to open the Packaging needed. The side strip must be solved become the dependent To pull strips out of the slot receiving plate. It attacks the user's finger in the pull ring on the bottom of the pack and pull the ring to the opposite Side of the flap. The ring pulls the tongue in succession and the bent dowels from the slot receiving plate. The positive engagement between the horizontal strip and the dependent strip is withdrawn and thus the dependent Strips are released freely from the slot receiving plate. Subsequently the flap can be turned around the trigger joint to to loosen the lid or upper plate of the packaging. In various embodiments can the pull ring on the outside the packaging are hidden by the bottom cardboard board. This construction provides a slot in the cardboard plate, to allow the operation of the pull ring. In other embodiments a cutout may be provided in the bottom plate, which provides unfettered access to the pull ring. Once the flap solved If the single-portion containing region, e.g. a blister card, to Removal of the portion to be deployed.

As another security feature during opening, the closure flap may be partially forked into three segments by means of a pair of parting lines near the innermost edge of the closure flap. Each such shaped segment is capable of limited movement with respect to the adjacent segment. To open the package, at least one segment must be gripped and pulled out of the package while the closure tab is being pulled out of the slot receiving plate to the closure flap pe open successfully.

As in 1 In one embodiment, a combined paperboard / plastic sachet in one embodiment comprises a cardboard section 2 which in turn is a cover plate 3 and an extension 4 includes on which the single serving blister 16 are located. The cover plate 3 is foldable with an end plate 5 which forms the backbone of the fully formed package. A floor plate 6 is on a molded closing element 12 attached. plate 6 includes a slot in this embodiment 11 which has been cut to provide a movable area over part of the molded area. In other embodiments, an element of the plastic portion may be the cutout 11 replace. The paperboard section is bonded to a molded plastic section by adhesive or hot-melt adhesive 12 attached. Other fasteners may be used. Plastic section 12 includes a flap 13 , a locking tongue 14 and a frame main body 15 , Frame body 15 includes endplates 22 and side plates 23 which are connected at right angles to one the shape of the packaging 1 define defining rectangular frame, and a slot-receiving plate 18 with a slot 21 for engaging the shutter 13 and a hollow area underneath (not shown) in which there is a curved dowel area 27 the locking tongue 14 located. Alternatively, it is also possible not to use double plates, instead the blister packaging material is sealed, by sealing or other known means, directly to a single plate of the blank. In an alternative embodiment, by way of example in FIG 8th shown, the frame body 15 at the end of the packaging 1 relative to the closure flap include a succession of end plates.

As in 2 shown is the cardboard part 2 as a cover plate 3 and an extension plate 4 shaped. As dargstellt, the cover plate 3 and extension plate 4 formed from doubled plates of the chosen material. The double plates provide additional physical support to the packaging. In addition, blister packaging material such as laminate or foil may be sandwiched between the doubled plates 4 be inserted to form single serving blister. In use is the extension 4 outward from the cover plate 3 opened away. Accordingly, both the inner and the outer surfaces of the cover plate 3 and extension 4 with text or graphics, for example dosing instructions. plates 3 and 4 further include slots 9 and 10 , which are positioned and dimensioned to match the folded double plates. The thus formed slots allow the dependent strip 19 the closing mechanism the cover plate 3 and extension 4 to happen when the packaging 1 closed is. As previously mentioned, the blank may be modified to eliminate the use of double plates, or may be provided in several parts, eg as a two-part blank.

A top view of the closed packaging is in 3 shown. When the packaging is completely closed, the cover plate is 3 folded in the direction of the packaging interior and folds under flap 13 , plate 3 is by ledges 28 held in position, located near the edges of the side panels 23 are located. Will the plate 3 pressed down, the edges are pressed under the strips and brought into engagement with these form-fitting and are held in position. flap 13 is triple-wired through a pair of joints 37 holding the flap 13 into segments, each of which has a restricted range of motion with respect to the adjacent segment. Egg-shaped finger grips 34 . 36 are in this preferred embodiment at each end of the flap 13 profiled. In other embodiments, the handles may be curved, angled, or ribbed. The flap 13 dividing into segments may improve the security feature such that the user must pull at least one segment to open the package while in the pull ring 17 picks up the locking tongue 14 to move from the zugunbeanspruchten position. Is the ring 17 not engaged when the user grips only one finger grip without the other finger grip 36 or the flap edge 35 the segment is slightly displaced in the area of the handle, the applied tension tends to remain around the handle 34 , as against the flap edge 35 to be applied as necessary to the shutter 13 from the slot recording 18 and the packaging will not open easily. A slot 20 in the middle segment of the closure flap 13 is located directly above the dependent strip 19 going down below the level of the flap 13 protrudes, with the tongue 14 to get into an attack.

The bottom or bottom of the packaging 1 , as in 4 shown, shows the outer surface of a cardboard board 6 , The plate 6 lies at the bottom level of the frame main body 15 and is held in place by adhesives or by engaging strips on side panels 23 as described above, or both. A well is in plate 6 included to enable the function of the triggering mechanism below. In the embodiment shown, an angled notch is cut out to make a connection 11 in the plate 6 above the pull ring 17 to build. The free connection 11 can be recessed, allowing the user to use the pull ring 17 to grab and out of the outside of the packaging 1 to relocate. In another embodiment, in 5 shown, the connection can be 11 eliminated and a section 41 be designed to the pull ring 17 partially or completely exposed. However, hiding the pull ring can contribute more to the child resistance characteristics because the opening means is less obvious.

Preferably, the package dimensions are such that the blisters 16 can be stored inside without being pressed by the shutter mechanism elements, in particular the frame main body 15 , the attacks 30 , the stop bar 31 and the pull ring 17 , which to some extent over the level of the bottom plate 6 protrude.

The opened package with the plates removed for the disclosure of the closure element 3 and 4 is in 7 shown. The closure element consists of closure flap 13 , a frame body 15 , a pull ring 17 formed integrally and on a locking tongue 14 is attached, and a slot receiving plate 18 , The pull ring 17 is sized to accommodate a typical user finger and is in a cutout 32 placed, which is spaced to a movement of the pull ring 17 permit. The locking tongue 14 ends in a bent dowel 27 made of a flexible material that is immovable at attachment points 33 on the frame body 15 is attached. Toward the central area of the curved dowel 27 there is a horizontal band 25 parallel to the frame body 15 from the end of the tongue 14 protruding out. The locking tongue 14 cooperates with a couple of attacks 30 and a stop bar 31 that with stops 30 can be brought into play to the movement of the tongue 14 to restrict and their change in position from the plane of the frame body 15 to prevent it from happening.

The flap 13 consists of a dependent strip 19 who is in relation to the flap 13 is placed vertically, and one above the strip 19 located slot 20 , Furthermore, the flap 13 through dividing lines 37 divided into segments. The flap 13 is on the frame body by a trigger joint 26 attached, which together with the other elements of the closure element ge is formed and is arranged in the direction of the closed position. The dependent strip 19 corresponds to a slot 21 standing in a slot-receiving plate 18 located at the end plate 22 is present and partially connected to this within the packaging frame.

8th shows an alternative embodiment of the molded frame of the package 1 in which several end plates 22 . 24 of approximately the same dimensions in parallel, but spaced from each other, can be placed, thus forming the packaging backbone. These multiple end plates provide additional support for the packaging frame. 8th also shows the bent dowel 27 the locking tongue 14 which, as shown, is shaped so as to form the lateral strip 25 includes. The curved dowel 27 turn is at attachment points 33 rigid to the molded frame body 15 attached. The flexibility of the curved plug simplifies the movement of the locking tongue 14 in relation to the supports ( 38 ) and the frame body 15 , The flexible part of the curved dowel 27 is formed as sections 42 with ridges formed on it 40 for reinforcement and rejuvenated areas 43 that the bending of the sections 42 in relation to the locking tongue 14 simplify.
