Definitions

  • Container for storing and dispensing single-coated tablets
  • the invention relates to a container for storing and individually dispensing coated tablets held in carriers according to the preamble of patent claim 1.
  • DE 38 22 763 discloses a container for storing and dispensing solid dosage forms sealed in blisters.
  • the blisters which are also circular, are placed on the annular lower part and pressed against the lower part with a part of the upper part designed as a lid.
  • DE 1 213 956 discloses a packaging for pharmaceuticals in a metered form, in which the individual tablets, dragees, pills or capsules can be expressed by a tearable film, similarly to the blister packs which are just as common.
  • An exchangeable carrier is accommodated in the sleeve-shaped container, in which a predetermined number of coated tablets, tablets or similar pharmaceutical forms are contained.
  • a marking element is advantageously placed on the opposite of the side on which the outlet opening for the dragées is arranged, above the dragées.
  • the seven different weekday calendars make it possible to adapt to different starting intake days, so that regardless of the day of the week on which the intake starts, a correct display is always achieved by simply turning the weeks radially - Day calendar provided sleeve compared to the conventional container-forming sleeve, in which the window or a slot is present, which makes it possible to view the set weekday calendar.
  • An empty carrier can be replaced by a full one by simply pulling off a cover on one end of the container sleeve. This opens an opening into which the new carrier can be inserted. It is precisely positioned by guides in the container and held in place with a locking device.
  • the carrier should preferably be provided for a single use in order to simplify the handling of the container when refilling.
  • the material is preferably a transparent, easily recyclable plastic that can be manufactured as an injection molded part. To reduce disposal problems, all individual parts should be made from the same plastic material.
  • the carrier can also be reusable and in this case should be refillable in a simple manner with the aid of an intermediate packaging which only provides transport protection.
  • This intermediate packaging can be inserted into the carrier in a simple manner and only has to ensure that the dragees emerge from the carrier in the same way as in the disposable variant.
  • the use of intermediate packaging has a significantly lower packaging and packaging material expenditure.
  • the carriers, which can only be used once are much easier to handle when loading the container again.
  • a pressure tappet which is received in the other end face and preloaded with a spring, is pressed manually from the outside. This pressure tappet, as part of the ejection mechanism, acts on an ejection tongue which is also guided in the sleeve-shaped container.
  • the ejector tongue is moved in the direction of an opening provided at the lower end of the carrier and the end of the tongue, which is flexible at least in this region, can be pressed into an opening which is introduced transversely to the longitudinal direction of the carrier. As a result, the tip of the tongue is pressed through an opposite outlet opening.
  • the drave if the lid already mentioned has been turned into a position in which a slot in it clears the outlet.
  • the exit can also take place through an opening located at least partially on the end face of the closure cover, which is ergonomically more favorable for the actual removal.
  • the ejector tongue is bent and the coated tablet, which presses against the tongue, can leave the container when the lid is in the correct position.
  • the markings of the weekdays and, if appropriate, a numbering can be applied in color to the sleeve made of transparent material, in which the container sleeve is executed.
  • This sleeve so that the first actual week of intake coincides with the uppermost position of the marking element or the dragee to be taken last is achieved by rotating this sleeve radially until the correct calendar is above or below the slot or Window is located.
  • a second possibility consists in attaching latching devices which preferably avoid twisting in a form-fitting manner.
  • the latching devices can be brought into or out of engagement by axially displacing these two sleeves after removal of the cover, pins being held in grooves, for example.
  • FIG. 1 shows a longitudinal section of a container
  • Figure 2 is a front view of the container
  • FIG. 3 shows a front view of a coated tablet
  • FIG. 4 shows a side view of the coated tablet
  • Figure 5 shows a section through the container in the plane XX.
  • the container 1 shown in FIG. 1 receives the likewise sleeve-shaped dragee 4, which follows
  • Opening the lid 14 can be inserted into the container 1.
  • the carrier 4 is held against axial displacement with locking clamps 7 and rotation is prevented by a corresponding outer contour.
  • a single removal of a coated tablet can be carried out by manually pressing a pressure tappet 12 which is held in its starting position by a compression spring 13 in which it protrudes from the interior of the container. Since the plunger 12 is connected to an ejector tongue 11, of which at least the tip is flexible, this tip moves in the pressure direction and through the shape of the guide 16 for the ejector tongue 11 directly through an opening 9 in the lateral surface of the carrier 4. Die The opening is located on the outer edge of the carrier 4, vis-a-vis a second opening 8, through which a coated tablet with the tip of the ejector tongue 11 pressed into the carrier interior can be pressed out.
  • the closure cover 14 is rotatable and has an outlet opening 15 which closes the opening 8 of the carrier or exposes it in one position. In the closed position of the cover 14, the movement of the pressure plunger 12 is additionally blocked, so that the person taking it is also prevented from causing an unwanted leakage of a coated tablet.
  • the sleeve 3 marked with the seven day of the week calendars is pushed onto the container 1 from the outside and is held against axial displacement by a form-fitting design of the inner lateral surface and the outer wall of the container 1.
  • a day of the week calendar can be seen in FIG. 2, which was set by rotating the sleeve 3 radially so that the first day of removal of a coated tablet is a Wednesday.
  • This weekday calendar is located directly above a window or a slot 2 in container 1, the dimensions of which correspond to those of the weekday calendar. At least it is so wide that a marking element placed in the carrier 4 above the last dragee to be taken is visible.
  • FIGS. 3 and 4 show how the openings 8 and 9 are arranged and designed in the carrier 4.
  • the opening 9 introduced transversely to the longitudinal axis of the carrier serves to receive the tip of the ejector tongue 11. Opposite to this there is a larger opening through which a coated tablet with the tip of the ejector tongue 11 can be pressed out of the carrier 4 .
  • the dragee must be moved against, in this example, two flexible tongues 10 which bend and completely open the opening 8 so that a dragee can emerge.
  • the cross section of the container according to the invention in the plane X-X shows the heptagonal inner contour of the sleeve 3 and the corresponding outer contour of the container 1, which is present at least in part. If the sleeve 3 is pulled down, the heptagonal area slides into an area of the container 1 which allows the sleeve 3 to be rotated about the longitudinal axis and the weekday calendar can be set with the correct starting day. If the correctly selected calendar points in the direction of the window 2, the sleeve 3 is pushed back onto the heptagonal outer contour and the setting is finished.
  • two webs 5 are attached to the carrier 4, which are held in guides 6 arranged in the interior of the container 1 and guided when the carrier 4 is inserted become.
  • the ejector tongue 11 runs as far as possible parallel to the carrier 4 in a separate guide 16, which, however, cannot be seen in this illustration, is curved in the lower region in the direction of the opening 9.
