- condoms have become increasingly important as the most important means of preventing aias. Accordingly, condoms themselves are now available in a wide variety.
- the packaging only offers inadequate protection against material-damaging climatic influences and mechanical damage, especially if it is transported in your pocket or wallet without further cardboard packaging.
- the medical, lust-inhibiting appearance of classic film packaging counteracts the further spread of this important AIDS prevention agent.
- the invention therefore relates to a condom packaging, which is characterized by the following points.
- Claim 1 states that the condom is under a film made of plastic, aluminum or the like. is located, which is welded or glued to the edge with a base on which the condom lies flat. Because the film has a free nipple projecting beyond the welded edge, it can easily be removed.
- the underlay can itself be a film, but then it must also have a nipple to hold onto when opening (flexible variant, claim 3). It is cheaper to manufacture the base from a solid material, for example plastic (dimensionally stable variant claim 4), which can be better held open.
- Claim 2 relates to the clear alignment of the condom in the pack. Since a rolled-up condom, especially in the dark, can hardly be seen how it should be placed on the penis for rolling, the packaging must clearly indicate the orientation of the condom. In the case of the dimensionally stable variant, it is sufficient, for example, to print on the film that the side facing the film must always be pushed onto the penis. With the fiexibian variant The upper and lower film can have a different color, surface or shape (e.g. differently shaped nipples), with an imprint on the correct application h ⁇ nwe ⁇ s ⁇ . As a further variant, the condom seiDST can have a color marking or special surface on a side indicates correct alignment.
- Claim 5 states that the pack contains at least two condoms and therefore there is always a reserve condom. Because the pack is composed of at least two separable, identical parts, the empty part can be replaced by a new one, so that a complete pack is again available Also available are condom or lubricant-filled parts that can be combined as required (see claim 10).
- Claim 6 relates to the connection of the packaging point.
- the condoms In order to ensure that the condoms are protected from the outside in the package, they must be in a recess in the packaging so that the cover film pulls flat over them.
- the described arrangement of the two halves ensures that the cover foils are protected from damage during transport. So that the two halves are separable, they are connected by a plug-in connection, for example, each half having a pin and a hole on the edge, which engage in the respective counterpart of the opposite half.
- Claim 7 relates to an alternative, fixed connection of the package halves, although not replacing the emptied part, however, may allow easier production and handling.
- Claim 8 indicates a special security feature compared to conventional film packaging. Because the outward-facing packaging area is made of a material that cannot be damaged by pointed objects or other mechanical influences, the condom packaged in this way can be transported without the otherwise usual cardboard sleeve. Plastic is the most suitable material, but in terms of recycling, both the solid outer shell and the thin cover film should be made of the same material Claim 9 relates to a possibility of additionally protecting the condom from climatic influences, which is particularly important in hot countries.
- Claim 10 relates to a special application form of condom packaging.
- the invented package is also suitable for packing lubricants. This is of great importance, since in the absence of suitable (water-containing) lubricants unsuitable oil-containing substances (creams, massage oils) are often used which attack the condom.
- Claim 1 1 refers to the color structure of the condom packaging. Both the outer shell and the cover foils can be colored or printed in different ways. The consumer can combine different halves of color himself (separable halves, see claim 5). The designs can also indicate different types of condoms (shape, color, taste) or lubricants and also always change. This means that condom packaging, instead of the conventional medical or hygiene products that are sold in pharmacies and drugstores, become colorful objects that are available everywhere.
- Claim 12 means that the packaging takes on the round shape of the condom in the supervision and thus indicates the content and at the same time uses the least material.
- Claim 14 describes a further embodiment in which the cover foils can be dispensed with and the condom or the condoms are exposed immediately after opening the hinge variant or separating the assembled packaging halves.
- Claim 13 describes a special embodiment, which is described in more detail below:
- Fig.4 Enlarged detail of the connection point. 5 cross-section through a half-shell with a counter-shell at the height of the pull-off nipple and the opening incision, see sectional plane 1 in FIG. 1.
- Figure 1 shows the top view of a half-shell.
- the condom 3 is in the recess of the half-shell.
- the recess rises flat on one side as an inclined plane 8 towards the edge 7, so that the condom can be easily pushed out.
- the cover film is welded on the edge (welding edge 7) and provided on the side on which the condom is to be pushed out of the pack with a nipple 9 for pulling off.
- the foil has an inscription that indicates the correct orientation of the condom, such as "pull off the foil, put the condom on this side of the penis and roll it off”.
- the figure also shows the arrangement of the connecting pin 10 and the opposite recess 4, which serves to receive the pin of the counter shell.
- the course of the contact surface 6 to the opposite half-shell, as well as the sectional planes for Figure 5 (1) and Figure 3 (5) can be seen.
- Figure 2 shows the side view of the condom packaging.
- the two round half-shells 1 and 2 in which the condoms are located, are put together and close flush and without gaps at the edge.
- the opening 3 is visible in the middle.
- Figure 3 shows a cross section through a half-shell at the level of the connection point. It is important that the contact surface 4 to the opposite half-shell is slightly raised along the entire edge compared to the level of the weld-on edge 3 of the cover film 2 in order to achieve a good edge fit between the two half-shells. Likewise, the connecting pin 1, the incision for the counter pin 5 and the bead of the rolled-up condom 6 can be seen here.
- FIG. 4 shows an enlarged detail of the cross section through two half shells put together at the height of the connection point.
- FIG. 5 shows a cross section through a half-shell at the height of the nipple or the opening incision.
- the edge of the half-shell is chamfered, so that the two half-shells lie one on top of the other and only in a narrow section, while the outside has a gap for opening with the fingernail or fingertip.
- the recess in which condoms 1 and 5 are located is beveled outwards towards the edge hm (inclined plane 6), so that condom 5 can be easily pushed out of the recess (see bottom arrow).
- the cover films 2 and 4 are also provided with the pulling nipples 7, which, when the pack is closed, are folded in between the two cover films and are only opened to open them (see both arrows above).

Abstract
Description
Formstαbile oder flexible Kondom VerpackungStable or flexible condom packaging
D urch die Aidsepidemie haben Kondome als wichtigstes Aias- Praventionsmittel stark an Bedeutung gewonnen. Dementsprechend sina heute Kondome selbst in einer grossen Vielfalt erhaltlich. Als Verpackungstyp steht allerdings nur das Einschweissen zwischen zwei Lagen von Folie zur Verfügung, wie es auch für andere medizinische Einmalprodukte verwendet wird. Diese klassische Folienverpackung ist vor allem im Dunkeln nur schwer aufzureissen, wobei die Gefahr besteht, dass dabei das Kondom beschädigt wird. Sie erlaubt nicht zu identifizieren, mit welcher Seite das Kondom auf den Penis aufgesetzt werden muss, um es abrollen zu können. Ausserdem bietet die Verpackung nur einen unzureichenden Schutz gegen materialermudende klimatische Einflüsse und mechanische Beschädigung, vor allem wenn es ohne weitere Kartonverpackung in der Hosentasche oder Geldbeutel transportiert wird. Schliesslich wirkt das medizinische, lusthemmende Aussehen der klassischen Folienverpackung einer weiteren Verbreitung dieses wichtigen Aidspräventionsmittels entgegen.As a result of the AIDS epidemic, condoms have become increasingly important as the most important means of preventing aias. Accordingly, condoms themselves are now available in a wide variety. The only type of packaging available, however, is the welding between two layers of film, as is also used for other single-use medical products. This classic film packaging is particularly difficult to tear open in the dark, with the risk of damaging the condom. It does not allow to identify which side the condom has to be placed on the penis in order to be able to roll it off. In addition, the packaging only offers inadequate protection against material-damaging climatic influences and mechanical damage, especially if it is transported in your pocket or wallet without further cardboard packaging. Finally, the medical, lust-inhibiting appearance of classic film packaging counteracts the further spread of this important AIDS prevention agent.
Die Erfindung betrifft daher eine Kondomverpackung, die durch die folgenden Punkte gekennzeichnet ist.The invention therefore relates to a condom packaging, which is characterized by the following points.
Anspruch 1 besagt, dass sich das Kondom unter einer Folie aus Kunststoff, Aluminium o.a. befindet, die am Rand mit einer Unterlage verschweist oder verklebt ist, auf der das Kondom flach aufliegt. Dadurch dass die Folie einen über den verschweisten Rand hinausstehenden freien Nippel aufweist, kann sie einfach abgezogen werden. Die Unterlage kann selbst eine Folie sein, muss dann aber ebenfalls einen Nippel zum Festhalten beim Öffnen aufweisen (flexible Variante, Anspruch 3). Günstiger ist es, die Unterlage aus einem festen Material, beispielsweise Kunststoff zu fertigen (formstabile VarianteAnspruch 4), die zum Öffnen besser gehalten werden kann.Claim 1 states that the condom is under a film made of plastic, aluminum or the like. is located, which is welded or glued to the edge with a base on which the condom lies flat. Because the film has a free nipple projecting beyond the welded edge, it can easily be removed. The underlay can itself be a film, but then it must also have a nipple to hold onto when opening (flexible variant, claim 3). It is cheaper to manufacture the base from a solid material, for example plastic (dimensionally stable variant claim 4), which can be better held open.
Anspruch 2 bezieht sich auf die eindeutige Ausrichtung des Kondoms in der Packung. Da bei einem zusammengerollten Kondom vor allem in der Dunkelheit kaum zu erkennen ist, wieherum es auf den Penis zum Abrollen aufzusetzen ist, muss die Verpackung die Ausrichtung des Kondoms eindeutig erkennen lassen. Bei der formstabilen Variante genügt beispielsweise ein Aufdruck auf der Folie, dass immer die Seite, die zur Folie weist, auf den Penis gestüipt werden muss. Bei der fiexibien Variante können die obere und untere Folie eine unterschiedliche Farbe, Oberflache oder Form (z B unterschiedlich geformte Nippel) aufweisen, wobei ebenfalls ein Aufdruck auf die richtige Anwendung hιnweιsτ Als weιτer Vaπanre kann das Kondom seiDST auf einer Seιτe eine Farbmarkierung oder besondere Oberfiaeche aufweisen, die die richtige Ausrichtung anzeigt.Claim 2 relates to the clear alignment of the condom in the pack. Since a rolled-up condom, especially in the dark, can hardly be seen how it should be placed on the penis for rolling, the packaging must clearly indicate the orientation of the condom. In the case of the dimensionally stable variant, it is sufficient, for example, to print on the film that the side facing the film must always be pushed onto the penis. With the fiexibian variant The upper and lower film can have a different color, surface or shape (e.g. differently shaped nipples), with an imprint on the correct application hιnweιsτ. As a further variant, the condom seiDST can have a color marking or special surface on a side indicates correct alignment.
Anspruch 5 besagt, dass aie Packung mindestens zwei Kondome enthalt und damit immer ein Reservekondom vorhanden ist Dadurch, dass die Pac kung aus mindestens zwei trennbaren, identischen Teilen zusammengesetzt ist, lasst sich der geleerte Teil durch einen neuen ersetzen, so aass wieder eine komplette Packung zur Verfugung steht Ausserdem lassen sich so je nach Bedarf Kondom- oder Gleitmittel- gefüllte Teile kombinieren (vgi. Anspruch 10).Claim 5 states that the pack contains at least two condoms and therefore there is always a reserve condom. Because the pack is composed of at least two separable, identical parts, the empty part can be replaced by a new one, so that a complete pack is again available Also available are condom or lubricant-filled parts that can be combined as required (see claim 10).
Anspruch 6 betrifft die Verbindung der Verpackungstelle Um zu erreichen, dass die Konaome nach aussen geschützt in der Packung liegen, müssen sie in einer Vertiefung der Verpackung egen, so dass die Abdeckfolie flach über sie hinwegzieht. Durch die beschriebene Anordnung der beiden Hälften wird erreicht, dass die Abdeckfo en wahrend des Transportes vor Beschädigungen geschützt sind. Damit die beiden Hälften trennbar sind, werden sie durch eine Steckverbindung verbunden, indem z.B jede Hälfte einen Stift und ein Loch am Rand aufweisen, die in das jeweilige Gegenstuck der gegenüberliegenden Hälfte greifen Anspruch 7 betrifft eine alternative, feste Verbindung der Packungshalften, die zwar nicht das Ersetzen des geleerten Teils erlaubt aber möglicherweise einfacher in der Produktion und Handhabung ist.Claim 6 relates to the connection of the packaging point. In order to ensure that the condoms are protected from the outside in the package, they must be in a recess in the packaging so that the cover film pulls flat over them. The described arrangement of the two halves ensures that the cover foils are protected from damage during transport. So that the two halves are separable, they are connected by a plug-in connection, for example, each half having a pin and a hole on the edge, which engage in the respective counterpart of the opposite half. Claim 7 relates to an alternative, fixed connection of the package halves, although not replacing the emptied part, however, may allow easier production and handling.
Anspruch 8 kennzeichnet ein besonderes Sicherheitsmerkmal gegenüber herkömmlichen Folienverpackungen. Indem der nach aussen gerichtete Verpackungstell aus einem Material besteht, das nicht durch spitze Gegenstande oaer andere mechanische Einflüsse beschädigt werden kann, lasst sich das solchermassen verpackte Kondom ohne die sonst ubnche Kartonhulle transportieren. Als Material kommt am ehesten Kunststoff in Frage, wobei im Sinne des Recycling sowohl die feste Aussenhuiie ais auch die dünne Abdeckfolie aus dem gleichen Material sein sollten Anspruch 9 bezieht sich auf eine Möglichkeit, das Kondom zusätzlich vor klimatischen Einflüssen zu sch tzen, was vor allem in heissen Landern von Bedeutung ist.Claim 8 indicates a special security feature compared to conventional film packaging. Because the outward-facing packaging area is made of a material that cannot be damaged by pointed objects or other mechanical influences, the condom packaged in this way can be transported without the otherwise usual cardboard sleeve. Plastic is the most suitable material, but in terms of recycling, both the solid outer shell and the thin cover film should be made of the same material Claim 9 relates to a possibility of additionally protecting the condom from climatic influences, which is particularly important in hot countries.
Anspruch 10 betrifft eine besondere Anwendungsform aer Kondomverpackung. Die erfundene Packung eignet sich auch zum Abpacken von Gleitmittel. Dies ist von grosser Bedeutung, da häufig in Ermangelung passender (wasserhaltiger) Gleitmittel ungeeignete ölhaltige Stoffe (Cremes, Massageole) verwendet werden, die das Kondom angreifen.Claim 10 relates to a special application form of condom packaging. The invented package is also suitable for packing lubricants. This is of great importance, since in the absence of suitable (water-containing) lubricants unsuitable oil-containing substances (creams, massage oils) are often used which attack the condom.
Anspruch 1 1 beziehT sich auf die Farbgestaitung der Kondomverpackung. Sowohl die Aussenhulle als auch die Abdeckfolien lassen sich verschieden einfarben oder bedrucken. Der Konsument kann seibst verschiedene Farbhalften kombinieren (trennbare Hälften, vgl. Anspruch 5). Die Designs können auch auf verschiedenartige Kondome (Form, Farbe, Geschmack) oder Gleitmittel hinweisen und zudem immer wechseln. Dadurch ist die Voraussetzung gegeben, dass Kondomverpackungen anstelle der herkömmlichen Medizinal- oder Hygieneprodukte, die in Apotheken und Drogerien verkauft werden, zu bunten Gegenstanden werden, die überall offen erhältlich sind.Claim 1 1 refers to the color structure of the condom packaging. Both the outer shell and the cover foils can be colored or printed in different ways. The consumer can combine different halves of color himself (separable halves, see claim 5). The designs can also indicate different types of condoms (shape, color, taste) or lubricants and also always change. This means that condom packaging, instead of the conventional medical or hygiene products that are sold in pharmacies and drugstores, become colorful objects that are available everywhere.
Anspruch 12 meint, dass die Verpackung in der Aufsicht die runde Form des Kondoms aufnimmt und damit auf den Inhalt hinweist und gleichzeitig am wenigsten Material verbraucht.Claim 12 means that the packaging takes on the round shape of the condom in the supervision and thus indicates the content and at the same time uses the least material.
Anspruch 14 beschreibt eine weitere Ausfuehrungsform, bei der auf die Abdeckfolien verzichtet werden kann und das Kondom bzw. die Kondome sofort nach dem Aufklappen bei der Scharniervariante oder dem Trennen der zusammengesteckten Verpackungshaelften frei liegen.Claim 14 describes a further embodiment in which the cover foils can be dispensed with and the condom or the condoms are exposed immediately after opening the hinge variant or separating the assembled packaging halves.
Anspruch 13 beschreibt eine besondere Ausführungsform, die nachstehend genauer beschrieben wird:Claim 13 describes a special embodiment, which is described in more detail below:
Fig.l Aufsicht auf eine HalbschaleFig.l supervision of a half-shell
Fιg.2 Seitenansicht einer kompletten VerpackungFιg.2 side view of a complete packaging
Fig.3 Querschnitt durch eine Halbschale in Hoehe der Verbindungsstelle, siehe Schnitteben 5 in Figur 1.3 cross section through a half-shell at the height of the connection point, see sectional plane 5 in FIG. 1.
Fig.4 Vergroessertes Detail der Verbindungsstelle. Fig.5 Querschnitt durch eine Hαlbschαle mit Gegenschαle in Hoehe des Abziehnippels und des Oeffnungseinschnittes, siehe Schnittebene 1 in Figur 1.Fig.4 Enlarged detail of the connection point. 5 cross-section through a half-shell with a counter-shell at the height of the pull-off nipple and the opening incision, see sectional plane 1 in FIG. 1.
Figur 1 zeigt die Aufsicht auf eine Halbschale. Das Kondom 3 liegt in der Vertiefung der Halbschale. Die Vertiefung steigt auf einer Seite flach als schiefe Ebene 8 zum Rand 7 hin an, so dass das Kondom leicht herausgeschoben werden kann. Die Abdeckfolie ist am Rand aufgeschweist (Aufschweissrand 7) und auf der Seite, an der das Kondom aus der Packung geschoben werden soll, mit einem Nippel 9 zum Abziehen versehen. Die Folie tragt eine Aufschrift, die auf die richtige Ausrichtung des Konaoms ninweist, etwa "Folie abziehen, Kondom mit dieser Seite auf aen Penis aufstülpen und abrollen". Die Abbildung zeigt a uc h die Anordung des Verbindungsstiftes 10 und der gegenüberliegenden Vertiefung 4, die als Aufnahme des Stiftes der Gegenschale dient. Schliesslich sind der Verlauf der Kontaktflache 6 zur gegenüberliegenden Halbschale, sowie die Schnittebenen fuer Figur 5 (1 ) und Figur 3 (5) zu sehen.Figure 1 shows the top view of a half-shell. The condom 3 is in the recess of the half-shell. The recess rises flat on one side as an inclined plane 8 towards the edge 7, so that the condom can be easily pushed out. The cover film is welded on the edge (welding edge 7) and provided on the side on which the condom is to be pushed out of the pack with a nipple 9 for pulling off. The foil has an inscription that indicates the correct orientation of the condom, such as "pull off the foil, put the condom on this side of the penis and roll it off". The figure also shows the arrangement of the connecting pin 10 and the opposite recess 4, which serves to receive the pin of the counter shell. Finally, the course of the contact surface 6 to the opposite half-shell, as well as the sectional planes for Figure 5 (1) and Figure 3 (5) can be seen.
Figur 2 zeigt die Seitenansicht der Kondomverpackung. Die beiden runden Halbschalen 1 und 2, in denen sich die Kondome befinden, sind zusammengesteckt und schliessen am Rand bündig und lückenlos ab. In der Mitte ist der Einschnitt zum Öffnen 3 sichtbar.Figure 2 shows the side view of the condom packaging. The two round half-shells 1 and 2, in which the condoms are located, are put together and close flush and without gaps at the edge. The opening 3 is visible in the middle.
Figur 3 zeigt einen Querschnitt durch eine Halbschale in Hohe der Verbindungsstelle. Wichtig ist, dass die Kontaktflache 4 zur gegenüberliegenden Halbschale dem ganzen Rand entlang gegenüber dem Niveau des Aufschweissrandes 3 der Abdeckfolie 2 leicht erhaben ist, um einen guten Randschluss zwischen den beiden Halbschalen zu erreichen. Ebenso sind hier der Verbindungsstift 1 , der Einschnitt fuer den GegenstifT 5 sowie der Randwulst des aufgerollten Kondoms 6 zu sehen. Figur 4 zeigt ein vergrossertes Detail des Querschnitts durch zwei zusammengesteckte Halbschale in Hohe der Verbindungsstelle. Hier wird sichtbar, wie der Verbindungsstift 1 in die gegenüberliegende Vertiefung greift, die Halbschalen 2 und 7 an der Kontaktfläche 8 aufeinanderhegen und im Bereich der Folienabdeckungen 4 und 5 der Kondome 3 und 6 ein kleiner Spalt zwischen den Halbschalen bleibt, in den die Abziehnippel eingeklappt werden können. Dieser Zwischenraum kann bei Bedarf auch so gross gewählt werden, dαss eine kreisförmig zugeschnittene, ziehαrmonikααrtig gefαlτete Anleitung aus Papier eingelegt werden kann. Figur 5 zeigt einen Querschnitt durch eine Halbschale in Hohe des Nippels bzw. des Offnungseinschnitts Im Bereich des Offnungseinschnittes 3 ist der Rand der Halbschale abgeschrägt, so dass die beiden Halbschalen weiter innen und nur in einem schmalen Abschnitt aufeinander liegen, wahrend aussen ein Spalt zum Offnen mit dem Fingernagel bzw. der Fingerkuppe entsteht. Auf der gegenüberliegenden Seite ist die Vertiefung, in der die Kondome 1 und 5 liegen, nach aussen zum Rand hm abgeschrägt (schiefe Ebene 6), so dass sich das Kondom 5 leicht aus der Vertiefung herausschieben lasst (siehe untersten Pfeil). Auf dieser Seite sind die Abdeckfolien 2 und 4 auch mit den Abziehnippeln 7 versehen, die bei verschlossener Packung nach innen zwischen die beiden Abdeckfolien geklappt sind und erst zum Oeffnen ausgeklappt werden (siehe beide oberen Pfeile). Figure 3 shows a cross section through a half-shell at the level of the connection point. It is important that the contact surface 4 to the opposite half-shell is slightly raised along the entire edge compared to the level of the weld-on edge 3 of the cover film 2 in order to achieve a good edge fit between the two half-shells. Likewise, the connecting pin 1, the incision for the counter pin 5 and the bead of the rolled-up condom 6 can be seen here. FIG. 4 shows an enlarged detail of the cross section through two half shells put together at the height of the connection point. Here you can see how the connecting pin 1 engages in the opposite recess, the half-shells 2 and 7 lie on top of each other at the contact surface 8 and in the area of the foil covers 4 and 5 of the condoms 3 and 6 there remains a small gap between the half-shells, into which the pulling nipple is folded can be. This space can also if necessary should be chosen so large that a circularly cut, drawing-like, paper-made instruction can be inserted. FIG. 5 shows a cross section through a half-shell at the height of the nipple or the opening incision. In the region of the opening incision 3, the edge of the half-shell is chamfered, so that the two half-shells lie one on top of the other and only in a narrow section, while the outside has a gap for opening with the fingernail or fingertip. On the opposite side, the recess in which condoms 1 and 5 are located is beveled outwards towards the edge hm (inclined plane 6), so that condom 5 can be easily pushed out of the recess (see bottom arrow). On this side, the cover films 2 and 4 are also provided with the pulling nipples 7, which, when the pack is closed, are folded in between the two cover films and are only opened to open them (see both arrows above).
