Definitions

  • the invention relates to a child-resistant pharmaceutical packaging, the pharmaceuticals being arranged between foils, a special receiving space being provided for each pharmaceutical, which is formed by welding or sealing the foils and which is accessible from the edge by tearing the packaging.
  • Medicines can be packaged in boxes, cans or similar containers and it is possible to design the closure so that the child is unable to open the closure. In particular, it takes advantage of the fact that the child can only exert a limited force or is unable to open a somewhat more difficult mechanism.
  • packaging of this type is only partially satisfactory. If a package containing a large number of medicinal products is opened or left open for any reason, there is a considerable risk since a plurality of medicinal products can then be misused at the same time. It is therefore preferable to keep the individual packaging of the medication in order to limit the damage as much as possible even if the precautions fail.
  • packaging in opaque films is possible, it does not fundamentally solve the problem and also reduces the important labeling effect of the color of the drug.
  • the invention has therefore set itself the task of creating a child-safe pharmaceutical packaging, in which all the essential advantages of the individual packaging are retained, the medicinal product in particular remaining visible from the outside and with adequate precaution being taken that a child is unable is to get the medicine itself. Nevertheless, the adult should be able to open the package quickly and without special tools.
  • the packaging which the invention seeks to create should be usable in the same way for all pharmaceuticals regardless of the particular form of presentation, so that the packaging can be used universally, so that the device with which the packaging is produced can also be used effectively.
  • Another object of the invention is to keep the manufacturing effort within moderate limits despite the additional modes of action.
  • the invention is based on a child-resistant pharmaceutical packaging of the type described at the outset.
  • the two foils sealed or welded to one another have such strength and / or toughness that they cannot be torn on a straight edge without tools, the drug can still be pushed through one of the foils, that notches are provided at the edge, such a notch being assigned to at least each receiving space and the tearing force to be applied using the notch being even greater than the force that can usually be applied by a child .
  • the invention is based on the following consideration.
  • a child-safe pharmaceutical packaging cannot be built on the principle that the child does not recognize how the packaging is opened or, in other words, that the child would not be able to recognize the special features of the safety device due to insufficient intellectual performance. It is generally assumed that packaging should be protected from children up to the age of eight, so that considerations based solely on intelligence are not sufficient.
  • the packaging is designed so stable, that is, the films that are used to form the receiving spaces have such a strength or strength or toughness of the material that even an adult is unable to tear the packaging from the edge or to push the medicinal products out of the receiving spaces, the foil being to be pressed through.
  • the invention proposes notches at the edge, which are of the shape that only the adult, but not the child, is able to open the package by means of the notch.
  • the notches together form a serrated edge.
  • the notch can, for example, be angled and be formed by two edge parts oriented approximately at right angles.
  • the notch can also be formed by a short incision and it is also possible in a variant of the invention to provide the incision in the inner intersection of Rarid parts that are oriented at an angle to one another.
  • the tear-open aid essentially consists of two elements, first the angled incision and the other the short, straight incision.
  • the packaging has such notches only on one edge.
  • the other edges can be straight, which makes it easier to manufacture on the packaging machines.
  • a strip 13 of pharmaceutical packaging is shown, which consists of three interconnected rows 14, 15 and 16, which leave a manufacturing machine in the direction of arrow 17, for example.
  • the cuts 18 and 19 ′ divide the individual rows in a manner known per se, and the cross sections 20 and 21 are also straight in a conventional manner.
  • the cross-sections 22 in the design according to the invention provide the packaging with an opening aid and would otherwise not be able to be opened due to the corresponding thickness of the foils at an edge formed by the cuts 18-21 or at the outer edge 23.
  • the now secure closure is essentially due to the quality of the two films 1 and 2 or their thickness and also that the films 1 and 2 are sealed or welded together along the surface 24. As a result, the receiving spaces 8 with the medicaments 25 are not accessible.
  • the cut 22 is made zigzag and results in a plurality of notches 4 in the packaging, which are adjacent to this cut.
  • the notches 4 are each delimited by the straight edge parts 9 and 10.
  • 'ig.3 shows an edge 7 of another design, in which the notches 5 are formed by arcuate sections 26.
  • the packaging shown cannot be opened from the straight edge 3.
  • the notches 6 consist of small incisions in the edge, the incisions only penetrating briefly into the material without forming a V-shaped notch.
  • incisions 11 are made at the intersection 12 of the straight edge parts 9 and 10, which incisions, for example, can be the same as the incisions 6.
  • the shape of the incisions shown is only to be understood as an example, and in particular there are extensive design options for the edge portions between the respective incisions or notches.
  • a special incision or a notch can be provided, which is assigned only to this receiving space.
  • films 1 and 2 will be suitable plastic films, as are already known for packaging medicaments which can generally be opened by pushing them through.
  • the invention is not limited to the use of plastic films.
  • One of the two foils 1 and 2 can also be aluminum foils or laminated aluminum foils.
  • the use of plastic films that are not translucent is also possible, as is the use of paper films, for example. for one of the two slides.
  • the edge 7 is provided with the notches in the interior of the packaging and e.g. formed only by perforation or partial punching. It is easily possible to complete the edge formation by kinking if this is provided and then to use the notches in the manner described above.
  • the lower film 2 consists of a composite film made of polyamide with 80 ⁇ and high-pressure polyethylene with 100 ⁇ thickness, while the upper film 1 is also a composite film with 20 ⁇ polyamide and 40 ⁇ high-pressure polyethylene.
