Definitions

  • the invention relates to a container, in particular hermetically sealed ampoule, comprising a hollow receiving body for receiving a dispensing medium, a connecting body which connects the receiving body via a connecting channel with a dispensing opening and tapers conically from the receiving body to the dispensing opening, a closure part forming a head portion of the container , which is separable via a separation point from the edge of the discharge opening, a first connection lug adjoining the bottom end of the receiving body remote from the discharge opening as the first handling aid.
  • Containers of this type serve, in particular, to store delivery media of the most varied types in the hollow receiving body, for example in the form of medical solutions, suspensions or gels.
  • a the head part of the container forming closure part is provided, which is detachable in a so-called twist-off movement (twisting movement) as a toggle closure member over a predetermined separation point from the rest of the receiving body.
  • A1 known container consisting of an elastically yielding plastic material, with a metering chamber in which a dispensing medium is located, wherein the one end of the metering chamber has a discharge opening and the opposite end is connected via a connection point with a compressible container part, characterized in that the connection point between metering chamber and container part is formed from a constriction, which is designed such that a capillary action is produced, which prevents a transfer of the discharge medium from the metering chamber into the container part with the Austreibmedium regardless of the spatial position of the container.
  • the container has a tubular metering chamber which is closed at one end by a toggle closure having a constricted predetermined breaking point and a handle for turning off the toggle closure, so as to release the discharge opening at the corresponding end of the metering chamber.
  • a receiving body for receiving a liquid to be stored and dispensed has on two opposite outer sides bearing surfaces which extend along the longitudinal extent of the container and each have concavely curved surface areas for ease of handling.
  • the concave configuration of the contact surfaces is according to the fingers of an operator selected.
  • a plurality of ribs may be formed on at least one of the concave contact surfaces.
  • About a detachable or detachable connection neck of the receiving body is connected to a sealing or sealing part and to open in its separation or detachment to release the absorbed liquid.
  • a comparable container for receiving and dispensing a preferred medical fluid, such as a drug is disclosed in U.S. Pat US 2002/0134374 A1 disclosed.
  • a container of the type mentioned is out WO 2007/003891 A1 known.
  • the receiving body typically has a polygonal cross-section and is connected on the head side via a nozzle-like connecting body with the discharge opening.
  • the closure part has a closing ball which contains a hollow chamber which keeps the dispensing opening open and which is releasably connected to the edge of the dispensing opening via the separating point.
  • the closure part is arranged adjacent to the head-side end of the receiving body.
  • the invention has the object to form the separation point in a reliable and simple manner on the container and to prevent the risk of accidental opening of the discharge opening and to enable a pinpoint application of drops at the outlet of the container contents from the open container ,
  • a container according to the invention is characterized in that a second connection lug adjoining the closure part acts as the second Handling aid is provided that the connecting body formed as an elongated dropper forms a neck portion of the container and has an axial length as a predeterminable distance of the discharge opening from the receiving body, and that from the region of the bottom end of the receiving body to about half of the axial length of the connecting body on both sides depending a lateral reinforcing strip extends.
  • the spatial separation of the discharge opening from the receiving body is particularly advantageous when a pinpoint application of drops of the container contents is provided, because the connecting part forming a neck portion takes the form of an elongated dropper, from the discharge opening, for example by pressure on the distance from the Appliztechniksstelle located receiving body, a dropwise delivery can take place.
  • the arrangement is such that the connecting body, and preferably also the connecting channel, taper conically from the receiving body to the discharge opening. This results not only in the desired shape of an elongated dropper with relatively small outer diameter at the discharge end, but it also creates only a relatively small "secondary volume" for located outside of the receiving body dispensing medium for the connecting body.
  • the reinforcing strips are arranged in alignment with axially parallel side edges of the first terminal lug.
  • the closure member preferably has a body which forms a hollow chamber which keeps the discharge opening free. With its lower Um chargedsrand such a hollow chamber ensures that both during the molding process for the container and later in the separation of the head part, the discharge port does not accidentally closes.
  • the closure member has a closing ball containing the hollow chamber, which is releasably connected via the separation point with the edge of the discharge opening, is ensured by the spherical shape that the plastic material used for the production of the container in the mold via a kind of edge can be pulled so as to reduce the plastic material for the formation of the separation point.
  • the second connection lug associated with the closure part has a projection which forms two diametrically opposed wings, which extend on both sides beyond the closing ball into the initial region of the connecting body and, serving as reinforcing elements in the separation point region, the separation point into the Continue the initial area of the connector body.
  • the material thickness of the wings corresponds approximately to the material thickness of the reinforcing strips.
  • both terminal lugs are rectangular in outline in the large whole, the long sides of the rectangular shape extending parallel to the longitudinal axis.
  • Such an oblong Not only does Tafelform offer a grip surface which is well suited for handling, but is also particularly suitable as a carrier for visually recognizable markings or coding provided on at least one broadside.
  • both terminal lugs are formed by plate-like body.
  • a plurality of containers in particular when the side edges of the first terminal lug and the second lug are longitudinally aligned with each other, advantageously combine to form an ampoule block in which the containers are detachably interconnected along the side edges of their terminal lugs ,
  • the container according to the invention is designed in particular in the form of a hermetically sealed ampoule.
  • a composite of five of these containers is in the Fig. 1 shown, wherein the individual containers along their respective abutting longitudinal edge of each other to form individual containers are separable. It can be almost any series of containers to produce, as well as individual containers.
  • the said containers are made of a moldable plastic material, for example of polyamide or polyolefins, such as PE or PP material. Furthermore, it is possible to produce these container products in a co-extrusion process with a multilayer wall structure or to provide the plastic, in order to increase its Impermeabiftician, with a coating, for example, the container outside to Vapor deposition. In any case, materials are preferably used which are readily usable for a blow molding, filling and sealing process, as has become known to the art by way of example under the brand name "bottelpack®".
  • Each container has a hollow, blow-shaped receiving body 1, which serves to receive a dispensing medium, not shown, inter alia in the form of sterile-filled medical fluids, suspensions, gels and the like.
  • a dispensing medium not shown, inter alia in the form of sterile-filled medical fluids, suspensions, gels and the like.
  • a head part forming closure member 9 which is detachably connected via a serving as a predetermined breaking point separation point 11 with the connecting body 5 in the region of the discharge opening 3.
  • This separation point 11 may be formed by a reduced in wall thickness plastic wall part, which extends between the closure part 9 and connecting body 5.
  • This separation point 11 is formed such that the closure member 9 in the manner of a toggle closure of the connecting body 5 can be turned off (twist-off closure), so as to expose the discharge opening 3.
  • the closure member 9 has a closing ball 13 as the actual closure body on, which forms an inner hollow chamber into which the discharge opening 3 opens. Thanks to the spherical shape ensures that the plastic material used in the mold can be pulled over a kind of edge to reduce in such a way the plastic material to form the separation point 11.
  • the bottom part (connecting body 5) opposite, bottom end 15, where for forming the bottom-side closure of the receptacle 1, the container wall at the mold parting plane 17 ( Fig. 3 ) to each other, a bottom-side terminal lug 19, which is in the form of a plate-like body with generally elongated rectangular shape, wherein the plate thickness is greater than the wall thickness at the bottom end 15, so that the broad sides of the terminal lug 19 laterally outside the parting plane 17th lie.
  • one of the first terminal lug 19 similar second terminal lug 25, which, in particular Fig. 3 , also has a material thickness which is increased in relation to the adjacent area, and as a whole is formed as a rectangular plate whose side edges 27 are aligned with the side edges 23 of the first terminal lug 19 and the edges of the strips 21.
  • Fig. 2 is one of the broad sides of the first terminal lug 19 provided with a code mark 29.
  • the second terminal lug 25 could be provided with a corresponding marker or label.
  • the closure part 9, viewed from the second terminal lug 25, forms a projection or extension thereof, which forms two diametrically opposite wings 31 extending beyond the region of the discharge opening 3 into the starting region of the connecting body 5 extend over the continuation region 33 (FIG. Fig. 4 ) of the separation point 11 are connected.
  • the wings 31, the material thickness of which corresponds approximately to the reinforcing strips 21, form a closure reinforcement against unintentional exposure of the discharge opening 3. Thanks to the presence of the second terminal lug 25, this gain in security must not be paid for by reducing the ease of use, because Presence of the second terminal lug 25 is a handling aid is available, which allows easy, deliberate opening despite the improved strength of the closure area readily.
