Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a device Plastic for pressing tablets out of a blister pack.
  • Blister packs are often used for dispensing tablets used because they are clear and a favor controlled delivery.
  • Such blister packs consist of a thermoformed plastic film with one each Survey in which one tablet is included and with a welded-on continuous metal foil covered is. To remove the tablets, the packaging must be in hold it in your hand and press the the plastic foil the tablet through the metal foil press through, the elevation being turned inside out.
  • the metal foil is usually a printed one Aluminum foil, but also coated aluminum foils, plasticized aluminum foils and plastic foils with a metal layer are used.
  • the one to be spent The force for dispensing a tablet is on the one hand from the Flexural rigidity of the deep-drawn, mostly transparent Plastic film and the toughness of the cover film dependent.
  • a device is known rapid removal of all tablets from a blister pack.
  • a base plate with depressions is provided, on which the blister packaging with the elevations can be placed on the bottom, whereupon a swiveling punching plate The cover film is cut across all elevations.
  • the cover plate during removal closed by tablets as in the invention remains, it must be opened at US-A-3'630'171.
  • the first solution has a slide guide in the cover in which a plunger is slidably guided.
  • the device 1 essentially consists from a base plate 10 and a pivotally connected thereto Cover plate 20.
  • Cover plate 20 is preferred integrally connected to the base plate 10 and both plates 10, 20 are relative to one another with respect to a pivot axis 21 pivotable.
  • the pivot axis 21 is in the present Example formed by two hinges 22.
  • the hinges 22 are designed as film hinges.
  • On the base plate A blister pack 2 is shown lying thereon.
  • the blister pack 2 consists of a deep-drawn plastic film 3, are formed in the elevations 4.
  • These surveys 4 form a holder for the tablets to be packed. In every Elevation 4 is therefore a tablet, not shown here T.
  • the tablet T is only pushed out in FIG Condition visible. When pushing out the tablet severed the cover sheet 5 and the elevation 4 turned inside out.
  • the base plate 10 consists essentially of a flat Plate, the ribs 11 projecting vertically towards the support side having. These ribs form at least one circumferential one Edge. However, it is preferred to use additional stiffening provide a central rib 11 'which is centered between the two longitudinal ribs 11 is arranged. Further, across these Cross ribs running in the longitudinal direction can additionally be provided. These then run between two adjacent openings 12 in the base plate.
  • the high of Ribs 11, 11 ' are dimensioned such that they are larger than the thickness of the tablets to be squeezed out.
  • the bottom edges of all Ribs define a level E. During the Use of the device consequently comes up to the stand level a support surface 6 to lie. Then the fall Stand level E and the support surface 6 together.
  • the base plate is preferably with an after Drawn above, surrounding boundary wall 14 provided the cover plate 20 in the closed state of the device 1 rests.
  • This solution is preferable because in of the preferred embodiment shown here Blister pack 2 with its cover film 5 is not directly on the base plate 10 rests.
  • the slightly distant edition the blister pack 2 on the base plate 10 is carried out by means of supporting, rib-shaped elevations 15. These supporting Bumps form a grid, with each defined as such delimited field one tablet comes to rest.
  • This Fields 16 each have an approximately central arrangement therein Opening 12, which is thus perpendicular under each Elevation 4 of the blister pack 2 comes to rest.
  • each having an approximately rectangular shape have embossed edges 17 on each longitudinal edge intended.
  • the cover film 5 By pressing on the elevations 4 perforate Embossed edges 17, the cover film 5 on the edge of the corresponding Survey on which pressure is exerted.
  • the top edge all embossed edges 17 and the surfaces of the supporting, rib-shaped elevations 15 on the base plate 10 thus form a common support level on which the blister packaging lies on.
  • the base plate 10 can additionally thicken have, which extend into this support plane and thus achieve additional support.
  • the cover plate 20 is opposite to the base plate 10 designed.
  • the cover plate 20 thus has exactly the same amount Openings 23, which in the closed state of the Device 1 approximately congruent over the openings 12 in the base plate 10 come to rest.
  • the cover plate 20 is around a circumferential edge 24 by one step Material thickness pulled down to the closed state of the Device 1 towards the inserted blister pack 2 to press.
  • On the same level as the material thickness pulled down cover plate 20 is on the hinges 22nd a tab 25 arranged opposite the longitudinal edge.
  • the Tab 25 has on its side edge lying towards the middle a locking lug 26.
  • On the base plate 10 is also one on the longitudinal edge opposite the hinge 22 Tab 18 provided in a first area in the Stand level E runs and then over a level 18 'to the Level of the upper edge of the boundary wall 14 is raised.
  • This tab 18 also has a on the central side edge Locking lug 19 on that with the locking lug 26 the tab 25 of the cover plate 20 in the closed state of the Device 1 is engaged. When closed the two locking lugs 19 and 26 thus overlap. This can be seen in FIG. 5.
  • Such a device can be made in one piece Manufacture plastic and is therefore extremely inexpensive.
  • the device can be purchased from pharmacies along with the corresponding tablets delivered in blister packs be given to the patient free of charge. Frequently need such patients always during a longer therapy period the same tablets. The device can thus multiple be reused.
  • the tablets packaged in this way are considerably easier express.
  • the packaging itself does not need to be in hand to be held but can be held in the device 1 on a support surface 6, for example a table top be placed and the tablet only by finger pressure be pushed out. The tablet comes on Table top to lie and the device can be lifted away become. The surrounding edge ensures that the The tablet does not roll away.
  • Patients with particularly painful Joint rheumatism in the hands can take the tablet out of the Blister packaging also by means of elbow pressure on the Elevations 4, through the openings 23 of the cover plate 20th protrude upwards, push out.
