Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an arrangement which enables pharmaceutical or medicament containers, such as cans, bottles and like containers to be opened more easily, wherein the arrangement may include a container cap that has an internal screw thread or may be adapted to coact with such a screw cap.
  • the invention also relates to a pharmaceutical container.
  • Pharmaceutical, or medicament, containers will normally include a screw cap and may be found difficult to open, particularly by elderly people and by others who cannot easily grip a typical cap or who have a weak grip.
  • Auxiliary aids used to alleviate such problems normally have the form of pincers, grippers or plates provided with holes or grooves to this end. These known aids thus constitute an extra tool which must be kept and handled separately.
  • a first object of the present invention is to provide a simpler screw cap opening arrangement which may be an integral part of the cap itself or have the form of an additional cap which fits onto the screw cap and which may be a permanent fixture thereon.
  • Medication in tablet form may include half-tablet dosages, which presents the problem of storing the other half of the tablet between separate medication occasions.
  • US-A-3, 433, 378 teaches a pill bottle having a cap in which a sample of a pill can be kept.
  • the cap includes to this end a plurality of separate parts, which complicates the struc ⁇ tural design of the cap and adds to manufacturing and assembly costs.
  • WO 94/29191 teaches a tablet container having an outwardly projecting part which includes a dispensing aperture and a space which accommodates a half-tablet. In order to remove a half-tablet from this space, it is necessary to fully open the cap or lid, with the risk of all the tablets contained in the container falling through the standard dispensing aperture, especially if the container is turned upside down in order to remove the half-tablet.
  • a second object of the invention is to enable users of tablet containers to save half-tablets between medication occasions in a user-friendly fashion and at low costs.
  • pharmaceutical containers have a child-safe design which requires the container to be manipu- lated in a specific manner before a tablet can be dispensed, and also to design the container in a manner which will ensure that only one tablet can be dispensed from the container at any one time and therewith make it difficult to take a large number of tablets simultaneously, among other things.
  • SU-948 780 describes a tablet container which is designed to enable only one tablet to be dispensed at any one time, with the aim of preventing crushing or disintegration of particu- larly brittle " tablets.
  • This tablet container includes an outer cap which has room for only one tablet and which must be separated from the container and emptied of its tablet after feeding a tablet thereinto.
  • the arrangement will not prevent rapid emptying of tablets from the container if the container is held vertical ⁇ ly upside down with the cap removed.
  • US-A-2, 886,208 describes an arrangement for dispensing tablets from a tablet container one at a time. This arrange- ment, however, will not prevent essentially all tablets being discharged sequentially from the container in response to one single tablet dispensing movement if the container is held upside down.
  • a third object of the invention is to provide a tablet container with which only one tablet can be dispensed at any one time and which requires two mutually sequential container manipulating movements in order to dispense a tablet from the container on each occasion.
  • US-A-5,129,520 describes a container which includes a removable bottom section that defines a cavity adapted to hold the package circular.
  • the package circular is inserted between the bottom surface of the main container and an outwardly projecting flange on the bottom section in a manner which makes automation difficult to achieve. Furthermore, the package circular is quite unprotected, with the risk of the circular falling from the container and being lost.
  • the arrangement also requires the information carrier to be of high quality, which increases costs.
  • US-A-5, 165,546 describes a similar container having a separate bottom section for receiving a package circular. This additional part increases both manufacturing and assembly costs. Furthermore, insertion of the package circular cannot be readily automated.
  • a fourth object of the invention is to provide a container that has a space into which a package circular can be readily inserted with the aid of automatic means and there held protected from the surroundings. This reduces both packaging and material costs.
  • an arrangement of the kind defined in the first paragraph is characterized in that it includes at least two mutually diametrically opposed wing-like parts that project out generally radially from a helmet-like part which may either form the screw cap itself or is constructed so that it can be fitted over a screw cap in engagement with the outer surface thereof, so that the cap can be screwed onto or unscrewed from the container by turning the helmet ⁇ like part.
  • the arrangement will preferably include two pairs of wing-like parts projecting from the helmet-like part in the shape of a cross.
  • An arrangement of this kind enables screw cap containers to be opened much more easily by elderly and handicapped people.
  • the arrangement includes an outwardly open cavity in which a divided tablet can be accommodated and which can be closed by means of a pivotal flap or lid.
  • the arrangement is characterized in that the cavity is located in the proximity of one of the wing-like parts; and in that the closure flap forms the upper surface of said wing-shaped part.
  • Such a cavity is readily accessible to patients who, when the dosage does not include whole tablets, are able to save a half-tablet between different medication occasions without the half-tablet becoming mixed with remaining whole tablets.
  • the cavity can be provided during manufacture of the arrange ⁇ ment at no appreciable extra cost.
  • the third of said objects is fulfilled by means of the inventive arrangement when applied with a tablet container by virtue of the fact that the upper end of the container and the helmet-like part of the arrangement define therebetween a space for receiving a tablet dispensed from the container, and by the fact that the helmet-like part includes a tablet dispensing opening which is so disposed as to necessitate a further dispensing manipulation in order for the tablet to be dispensed from said space.
  • a container for pharmaceuticals or like products is characterized in that the bottom surface of the container has an outwardly open recess for accommodating a package circular containing information concerning the container content; in that the depth of the recess is such that the circular will be located inwardly of the bottom surface; in that the container includes a flexible plastic or paperboard disk which protects the circular and holds the circular in place in the recess; and in that the disk is held in place by means of small projections or the like extending out from the wall of the recess.
  • Such a container will require no additional paperboard or the like for a package circular, since the package circular can be inserted into the recess and will always accompany the container.
  • the package circular and the protective disk are both flexible, they can be readily pressed into the recess or cavity axially beyond the small projections on the wall of said recess with the aid of automatic means, whereafter the disk will spring back in the recess and be held therein by said projections.
  • the container can thus be handled conven ⁇ tionally by pharmaceutical companies in all chains of distribution, and by the user.
  • Fig. 1 is a perspective view of one embodiment of an inven ⁇ tive container
  • Fig. 2 illustrates the upper part of the Fig. 1 container, with one of the small lids in a raised position
  • Fig. 3 is a view which shows the Fig. 1 container obliquely from beneath;
  • Fig. 4 illustrates the principle of storing a package circular in an inventive container
  • Fig. 5 shows the container in side view after having inserted the package circular
  • Figs. 6 and 7 are respective section views of the upper part of the container and its small lids
  • Fig. 8 illustrates the main container cap from beneath
  • Fig. 9 shows how an inventive container provided with a screw cap can be opened
  • Fig. 10 illustrates another embodiment of the inventive arrangement in the form of an outer cap
  • Fig. 11 is an exploded view of a pharmaceutical container having an original cap and an outer cap according to Fig. 10;
  • Fig. 12 is a partly sectioned view taken on the line A-A in Fig. 10.
  • Fig. 1 Shown in Fig. 1 is a pharmaceutical container 1 for pharma ⁇ ceutics in tablet form.
  • the helmet-like cap 2 of the contain- er 1 has pronounced wing-shaped parts which facilitate opening of the cap by rotating said cap when the cap is a screw cap.
  • the wing-shaped parts provide a highly effective hand grip, see also Fig. 9, therewith enabling the container to be opened easily by elderly people or sick people that have an impaired grip, without requiring the use of other aids, such as tongs or the like.
  • the container cap has four hollow wings, of which two, 3, 4, are each provided with a respective small openable or flap lid 5 and 6 formed integrally with and hinged to the helmet-like part 2 of the cap as shown in Fig. 2. The reason for this will be made apparent further on.
  • the bottom surface of the container 1 has an outwardly open recess or cavity which is defined by a circumferentially extending wall or edge 7.
  • the wall or edge has through- penetrating channels 8 at pairs of mutually opposing posi ⁇ tions.
  • Each part of the wall 7 is provided with a small, outwardly projecting element 9 which functions to retain a slightly flexible cover insert 10 made of paperboard or plastic material.
  • the cover insert preferably has the form of a transparent plastic disk whose flexibility will allow the disk to be pressed past the projections 9 and thereafter be held in position by said projections. This is also facilitated when the wall parts 7 are slightly elastic.
  • Fig. 4 illustrates how a package circular 11 containing information concerning the medicament or pharmaceutical packaged in the container can be first placed in the contain- er.
  • the package circular will be protected and held in place by the subsequently fitted plastic disk 10.
  • Fig. 5 shows the container 1 in side view after having inserted the package circular 11 and the protective disk 10. Insertion of the package circular and the plastic disk can be readily automated, since the elasticity of the disk and the short projections enable insertion to be effected in a linear movement axially in relation to the container. This thus lowers the cost of the packaging process. Because the package circular is held protected by the plastic disk 10, the circular can be comprised of a relatively inexpensive paper material. The container requires no externally applied paperboard, which constitutes a further saving. The package circular that accompanies the container will not disturb or hinder normal handling of the container in any way and enables containers of this kind to be packaged tightly against one another without risk of damaging or loosening package circular. The containers can be placed upright on a supportive surface and even stacked one upon the other with no impediment on the part of the package circular.
  • the bottom of the container 1 has raised parts 12 which are delimited by grooves or slots 13 that form extensions of the channels 8 through the cylindrical wall 7.
  • the grooves 13 form a space between the package circular and the container bottom (see Fig. 5) which prevents the package circular 11 from lying tightly against the bottom of the container. This simplifies release of the package circular in the pharmacy or chemist's shop or in the patient's home, since it is only necessary to insert a narrow rod-like object or the tip of a pencil or like device through one of the channels 8 and into the groove 13 in order to free the plastic disk 10 and the package circular 11.
  • Figs. 6 and 7 are sectional views of the upper part of the container 1 and its helmet-like cap 2, which in the case of this embodiment is permanently fixed to the neck 14 of the container 1 with the aid of a groove 15 which coacts lock- ingly with a flange on the cap 2.
  • the lid 5 of the wing 3 functions to openably close a cavity 23 in which a half-tablet 24 can be kept when the medicament dosage of the patient includes a half-tablet.
  • the patient has been forced to return the half-tablet to the full tablets in the container, which make it difficult to find and remove the half-tablet on the next medication occasion.
  • the illustrated embodiment enables the half-tablet to be kept safely and together with the whole tablets without needing to mix the two together, which is highly beneficial to the patient.
  • the half-tablet can also be easily removed from the container without the risk of whole tablets falling from the container, even should the container be turned upside down.
  • the container outlet has the form of a truncated cone 16 having an opening which will only permit one tablet 17 to be dispensed at a time.
  • the lid is located at a height above the outlet that will allow only one tablet 17 to be fed from the container when the container is turned upside down. The container must then be tipped to one side, in order for the tablet to fall down into the space 18.
  • a semi-circular wall 19 which projects down from the lid prevents the tablet from falling down on the other side of the conical outlet 16, as will be seen also from Fig. 8.
  • a wing- shaped part 4 may be slidable laterally together with the diametrically located part 3, in order to take a tablet 17 that has been dispensed from the container. As the slide is moved, the tablet will be advanced to an extent at which it will fall out.
  • the wing-shaped part may alternatively be constructed to enable it to be lifted to provide access to the tablet after having rotated said part to the position of the tablet.
  • Fig. 9 illustrates a further benefit of an inventive contain ⁇ er provided with a screw cap 2 which must be unscrewed from the container by hand.
  • This may be difficult for elderly people or sick people, e.g. rheumatics who find it difficult to grip a standard cap.
  • unscrewing of the cap is greatly facilitated by the pronounced wing-like elements of an inventive cap.
  • the cap may be unscrewed with the aid of a long peg, pencil 25 or the like, placed on a supportive surface.
  • the container is then placed over the pencil so that the pencil is locked firmly in two diametri ⁇ cally opposed channels 8.
  • the pencil can then be used as a counterpressure means as the cap is rotated, or to effect rotation of the container itself, the magnitude of the power generated being determined by the length of the pencil.
  • Figs. 10-12 illustrate another embodiment of the invention which includes an outer cap in the form of a helmet-like part 2 and wing-shaped parts 3, 4 which project therefrom, said helmet-like part being placed over an original cap 26 on the tablet container 1.
  • the cap 26 is a screw cap and is sealed to the container 1 in a conventional manner prior to its delivery from the pharmaceutical company.
  • the helmet-like part 2 of the outer cap is provided with slots 27 located opposite the seal so that a check can be made to ascertain that the seal is still intact after the outer cap 2 has been placed on the original cap 26.
  • the helmet-like part 2 will be provided with corresponding ridges or corresponding projections on its inner surface, these ridges coacting with the ridges 28 as the outer cap is turned, so as to loosen the original cap.
  • the fit between the outer cap and the original cap will suitably be such as to enable the original cap to accompany the outer cap as the outer cap is lifted from the container, subsequent to having been unscrewed. This greatly facilitates handling of the original cap, which can be readily screwed back onto the container with the aid of the outer cap.
  • the outer cap can be fitted to the container by the pharmaceutical company concerned or at the pharmacy, or may alternatively be provided as an auxiliary aid which can be fitted to a pharmaceutical container by the patient himself (herself) .
  • one wing-shaped part 3 is suitably provided with an openable lid 5 which enables a half-tablet 24 to be kept safely between two medication occasions, see Fig. 12.
  • the cavity in the wing-shaped part 3 need not have a bottom surface, since the original cap 26 fulfils this function. This constitutes a further saving in the cost of manufacturing the outer cap.
  • the original cap 26 includes a circumferentially extending groove 29 into which a projec ⁇ tion provided on the inner surface of the outer cap will engage resiliently when the outer cap is fitted over the original cap. This results in a permanent fixture of the outer cap to the original cap.
  • the package circular 11 or the plastic disk 10 can be held in the recess in the container bottom with the aid of means other than the projections 9, such as small tongues or grooves in the wall 7, for instance.
  • the wall 7 may also be given a thickness at which the wall sections will be slightly resilient and therewith utilized in securing the plastic disk 10.
  • the number of channels 8 may vary, and the channels may even be omitted if desired. This also applies to the parts 12 which project up from the bottom. These parts may also be replaced by other spacer means.
  • the container cap may have more or fewer wings than those shown, and that the shape of respective wings may be varied as desired.
  • the illustrated container is cylindrical in shape, the invention can be applied equally as well with containers of any selected shape.
