Description

Dragee container.

Object of the invention

The present invention relates to a container for dragees, made up of three pieces that in assembly situation they form a unique and indivisible set in the different operations necessary for its use and handling, remaining its parts united; constituting this set, given its particular structural characteristics, a functional package of reduced dimensions, rounded shapes, ergonomic, precise in the dispensing and simple in its use for containment, the transport and dispensing of dragee type products.

The object of the invention has application in the scope of the product packaging industry dragees, pills and the like for the consumption of these so periodic or sporadic, anywhere by the user.

Background of the invention

There are currently various types of containers of the type intended for containment and dispensing of dragees, pills and the like, which have different structural characteristics from which various problems in its use that are presented below for each case.

There are single-piece containers manufactured in cardboard materials that present the problem of having a poor precision in the control of the dispensing of dragees, since the opening area of the container occupies the entire width of the same, which cannot precisely control the number of dragees that the user wishes to extract from the package; for another side this type of packaging have a reduced shelf life due to the deterioration suffered by the material that constitutes it during its use normal.

On the other hand there are single-piece containers in its set made of more durable materials, of the type of polymeric materials, but as in the previous case and Given their structure, they have little control over the amount of product dispensed

There are also containers in which solves the problem of controlling the quantity of product that the user wants to extract by allowing the separation of a piece of the container, which acts as a lid, allowing the user to extract the amount of product you want; these packages present inconveniences such as its low functionality in dispensing small tablets that the user cannot extract from precise way with the fingers as well as the possible loss of the piece that separates from the assembly during use, resulting the unusable container if it is produced by running out of the piece that It fulfills the function of cover.

Description of the invention

The dragee package proposed by the invention constitutes an advance in the packaging of this type until now used, in the line of constituting a reduced package functional dimensions, easy to use and precision in the Dispensing of the product it contains, ergonomic, comfortable in its use and transport given its rounded shapes and with a high lifespan given the ergonomic nature of the material that It constitutes.

The dragee container is materialized in a unique and indivisible set in its assembly situation, composed for three pieces of an ergonomic material, the first of which has at least one of its rounded vertices and fulfills the function of containment of the dragees, incorporating in the rounded vertex zone, on the inner side, in coincidence with the center of the radius of agreement of rounding of the vertex, an axis perpendicular to the plane of the piece with respect to which the rotation of another piece that acts as a wheel, incorporating in this zone, on the inner side, some circular arc-shaped rails, of radius coinciding with the rounding of the vertex and the outside of the piece that acts as a wheel, with the aim of guiding this last in its rotation and serve as a mechanical end stop determining the top opening position of the container; Likewise This piece consists of its entire perimeter, except in the area where it houses the wheel, of a side wall and a fin that allows its joining by clipping when fitting with the piece that acts as a cover.

The second piece of which the container is composed It acts as a lid and its function is to achieve closure and Hermiticity of the package, being similar and complementary to the piece described above with the proviso of not having the shaft to accommodate the wheel, the guide rails of the wheel, and present a circular recess in the area where the wheel, of diameter coinciding with it; this piece fits in the  previously described by clipping, forming the body of the container.

Finally the set consists of a third piece of circular plan and radius coinciding with the rounding of the vertex where the wheel that has the opening function is housed and closing it, allowing dosing discreetly of the product contained by the container by rotating the same with respect to the aforementioned axis, which is housed in a bushing arranged for the purpose that incorporates this piece in the center of the circular face and perpendicular to it, so that the skirt perimeter, wide that of the container, of generatrix perpendicular to the circular face of the piece, which the piece incorporates in one part of the perimeter, produces the sealing or release of the hole of exit that is located in the area that presents a recess in the container; said skirt also fulfills the mission of guiding the wheel through the rails arranged in the first piece, serving as a mechanical stop for the opening position, producing the closing stop position by contacting the opposite side of the skirt with the corresponding edge of the wall formed in that zone by the pieces that constitute the body of the container, incorporating the skirt on its outer face, in the area near the closing stop edge, a tab-like shoulder that allows the wheel drive to produce rotation in the direction of  opening or closing.

The fact that the container body is materialize in two pieces that fit together by clipping allows its opening for cleaning operations and filling it; also given the way it allows its use with a wide variety of shapes and sizes of dragees contained. On the other hand the fact that the shaft is incorporated into a  piece and is housed in a bushing arranged in another, in its mounting situation, reduces the clearance of these elements, prevents its loss and therefore increases the shelf life of the container.
