Description
Envoltorio para tampón. 5 Sector de la técnica DESCRIPCiÓN Esta invención es aplicable en el envasado de tampones y se refiere a un envoltorio específicamente para tampones digitales, sin aplicador, que comprende un cuerpo tubular formado por una lámina de material flexible, y que está cerrado 10 longitudinalmente y por los extremos opuestos, delimitando una cavidad contenedora del tampón digital. Este envoltorio para tampón presenta unas particularidades constructivas orientadas a garantizar su estanqueidad, evitando contaminaciones indeseadas del tampón; y 15 adicionalmente a permitir su personalización por ejemplo, mediante el marcado impreso del envoltorio. Estado de la técnica anterior 20 Actualmente son conocidos y comercializados en el mercado tanto los tampones con aplicador, en los que cada tampón se encuentra alojado en un aplicador, como los tampones digitales que no disponen de ningún aplicador para su introducción en la cavidad vaginal. 25 Los envoltorios utilizados actualmente para el envasado individualizado de los tampones digitales consisten en un tubo formado por una lámina de material plástico y cerrado por los extremos opuestos. Para facilitar la apertura del envoltorio y la extracción del tampón, la lámina plástica del 30 envoltorio presenta una línea de precorte que afecta la totalidad del contorno del tubo y que facilita la rotura del envoltorio cuando se aplica un giro de sentidos opuestos a las dos porciones del envoltorio separadas por la mencionada línea de precorte. Este tipo de envoltorios presentan diferentes inconvenientes de uso entre los que cabe 35 mencionar que la línea de precorte atraviesa el cuerpo del envoltorio, por lo que éste 2 no es hermético, existiendo un riesgo de contaminación del tampón antes de realizar la apertura del envoltorio. Otro de los inconvenientes de este tipo de envoltorios es la dificultad de 5 personalización o marcado de la lámina de plástico conformante del envoltorio, lo que impide conocer cuál es el tipo de tampón contenido en el mismo. Un inconveniente adicional de este tipo de envoltorios es que la conformación y cierre de los mismos envoltorios se realiza habitualmente en un tramo final de la linea de 10 producción de los tampones, de forma que los tampones salgan de la línea de producción ya envasados; sin embargo, la conformación y cierre de este tipo de envoltorios ralentiza el proceso de fabricación y provoca mermas debido, precisamente, a las fases necesarias para la conformación del envoltorio. 15 Por tanto, el problema técnico que se plantea es el desarrollo de un envoltorio para tampones, en particular para tampones digitales, que resuelva la problemática mencionada anteriormente, tanto en lo que se refiere a la hermeticidad del envoltorio como a la personalización del mismo. 20 Explicación de la invención. El envoltorio para tampón objeto de esta invención, comprende un cuerpo tubular formado por una lámina de material flexible, y que está cerrado longitudinalmente y por los extremos opuestos, delimitando una cavidad contenedora del correspondiente 25 tampón digital. Este envoltorio presenta unas características adecuadas para resolver los inconvenientes mencionados anteriormente. 30 La lámina de material flexible comprende, al menos: -una capa externa de papel, continua y sin zonas de debilitamiento ni perforaciones de precorte, adecuada para ser impresa y que conforma la superficie exterior del envoltorio; y -una capa interna de material termosellable unida a la capa externa de papel y que conforma la cara interior del envoltorio. 35 3 5 La conformación del exterior del envoltorio con la mencionada capa externa de papel, permite que dicho envoltorio pueda incorporar exteriormente, impresos sobre la capa externa de papel, los motivos que se consideren oportunos para su personalización o la indicación del tipo del tampón contenido en el mismo. Para garantizar la estanqueidad del envoltorio, la lámina de material flexible comprende dos porciones longitudinales extremas, en correspondencia con sus bordes longitudinales, con las respectivas capas internas de material termosellable, enfrentadas y unidas herméticamente por termosellado; formando dichas porciones 10 una solapa longitudinal que sobresale hacia el exterior del envoltorio, cerrándolo lateralmente en toda su longitud. Dicha lamina de material flexible, comprende en correspondencia con sus bordes transversales, y en cada uno de los extremos del envoltorio, unas porciones 15 transversales extremas, que presentan las respectivas capas internas de material termosellable enfrentadas y unidas herméticamente por termosellado, formando sendas solapas de cierre en los correspondientes extremo del envoltorio. Con las características mencionadas anteriormente, este envoltorio es totalmente 20 hermético e impide la contaminación del tampón contenido en su interior, permitiendo además que la usuaria por medio de los motivos impresos en el exterior de dicho envoltorio pueda disponer de información sobre el tampón individual, por ejemplo: la marca y tipo de tampón contenido en el envoltorio, sin necesidad de realizar la apertura del mismo, o el lote de fabricación del tampón. 25 Descripción del contenido de los dibujos. Para complementar la descripción que se está realizando y con objeto de facilitar la comprensión de las características de la invención, se acompaña a la presente 30 memoria descriptiva un juego de dibujos en los que, con carácter ilustrativo y no limitativo, se ha representado lo siguiente: 35 -La figura 1 muestra una vista en alzado de un ejemplo de realización del envoltorio para tampón, según la invención. 4 -Las figuras 2 y 3 muestran respectivamente sendas vistas en planta superior y en planta inferior del envoltorio de la figura 1. -La figura 4 muestra una vista a gran escala de una sección del material flexible 5 conformante del cuerpo tubular del envoltorio, en la que se pueden observar la capa externa de papel y la capa interna de material termosellable conformantes del mismo. -La figura 5 muestra una vista en desarrollo plano de la lámina de material flexible a partir de la cual se conforma el cuerpo tubular, vista por el lateral correspondiente a la 10 capa interna de material termosellable; habiéndose marcado con líneas de trazos las porciones extremas longitudinales y transversales destinadas a fijarse entre sí para establecer el cierre del envoltorio. 15 20 Exposición detallada de un modo de realización.

This wrapper for tampon presents constructive particularities oriented to guarantee its tightness, avoiding unwanted contamination of the tampon; and 15 additionally to allow its personalization for example, by means of the printed marking of the packaging. State of the prior art 20 Both tampons with applicators are currently known and marketed in the market, in which each tampon is housed in an applicator, as well as digital tampons that do not have any applicator for introduction into the vaginal cavity. 25 The packaging currently used for the individual packaging of digital tampons consists of a tube formed by a sheet of plastic material and closed at opposite ends. To facilitate the opening of the wrapper and the extraction of the buffer, the plastic sheet of the wrapper has a pre-cut line that affects the entire contour of the tube and that facilitates the breakage of the wrapper when a rotation of opposite directions is applied to the two portions of the wrapping separated by the mentioned precut line. This type of wrapping presents different inconveniences of use, among which it is worth mentioning that the precut line crosses the body of the wrapping, so that it 2 It is not airtight, there is a risk of contamination of the buffer before opening the wrapper. Another disadvantage of this type of wrapping is the difficulty of personalization or marking of the plastic sheet conforming to the wrapping, which prevents knowing the type of buffer contained therein. An additional disadvantage of this type of wrapping is that the forming and closing of the same wrapping is usually carried out in a final section of the line of production of the tampons, so that the tampons leave the production line already packed; However, the conformation and closing of this type of wrapping slows down the manufacturing process and causes losses due, precisely, to the phases necessary for forming the wrapping. 15 Therefore, the technical problem that arises is the development of a wrapper for tampons, in particular for digital tampons, that solves the aforementioned problem, both in terms of the tightness of the wrapper and its customization. 20 Explanation of the invention. The buffer wrapper object of this invention comprises a tubular body formed by a sheet of flexible material, and which is closed longitudinally and at opposite ends, delimiting a cavity containing the corresponding digital buffer. This package has adequate characteristics to solve the aforementioned problems. The sheet of flexible material comprises, at least: an outer layer of paper, continuous and without areas of weakening or pre-cut perforations, suitable for printing and forming the outer surface of the wrapper; and -a inner layer of heat-sealable material bonded to the outer layer of paper and that forms the inner face of the wrapper. 35 3 5 The conformation of the exterior of the wrapper with the aforementioned outer layer of paper, allows said wrapper to incorporate externally, printed on the outer layer of paper, the reasons that are considered appropriate for its personalization or the indication of the type of the buffer contained in the same. To ensure the tightness of the wrap, the flexible material sheet comprises two extreme longitudinal portions, in correspondence with its longitudinal edges, with the respective inner layers of heat sealable material, facing and tightly joined by heat sealing; said portions 10 forming a longitudinal flap protruding outward from the wrapper, closing it laterally along its entire length. Said sheet of flexible material comprises, in correspondence with its transverse edges, and at each of the ends of the wrapper, some extreme transverse portions 15, which have the respective inner layers of heat-sealable material facing and hermetically bonded by heat sealing, forming paths closure at the corresponding end of the wrapper. With the aforementioned characteristics, this wrapper is completely hermetic and prevents contamination of the buffer contained therein, also allowing the user through the motifs printed on the outside of said wrapper to have information on the individual buffer, by Example: the brand and type of buffer contained in the packaging, without the need to open it, or the manufacturing batch of the buffer. 25 Description of the content of the drawings. To complement the description that is being made and in order to facilitate the understanding of the features of the invention, a set of drawings is attached to the present specification in which, for illustrative and non-limiting purposes, the following has been represented : 35 - Figure 1 shows an elevational view of an embodiment example of the buffer wrap according to the invention. 4 -Figures 2 and 3 show respectively top and bottom floor views of the wrapper of figure 1. -Figure 4 shows a large-scale view of a section of the flexible material 5 forming the tubular body of the wrapping, in the that the outer layer of paper and the inner layer of heat-sealable material conforming thereto can be observed. -Figure 5 shows a plan view in view of the sheet of flexible material from which the tubular body is formed, seen from the side corresponding to the inner layer of heat sealable material; the longitudinal and transverse end portions intended to be fixed together to establish the closure of the wrapper having been marked with dashed lines. 15 20 Detailed presentation of an embodiment. As can be seen in Figures 1 to 3, this buffer wrapper comprises a tubular body (1) formed by a sheet of flexible material, and which is closed longitudinally and at opposite ends, delimiting a buffer cavity (T ) digital. In the exemplary embodiment shown in the figures, and specifically in Figure 4, the sheet of flexible material (2) forming the wrapper comprises: -a continuous outer layer of paper (21), which forms the outer surface of the wrapper (1 ); and an inner layer of heat-sealable material (22) fixed to the outer layer of paper 25 (21) and which forms the inner surface of the wrapper (1). As can be seen in Figure 5, the flexible material sheet (2) has two end longitudinal portions (23a, 23b) that are arranged with the respective inner layers of heat-sealable material (22) facing and hermetically joined 30 by heat sealing, forming in the wrapper a longitudinal flap (11) shown in figure 3 and protruding outward from the wrapper. As can be seen in Figure 5, the sheet of flexible material (2) comprises at each end of the wrapper end portions (24a, 24b) 35 which are arranged with the respective inner layers of material 5 heat sealable (22) facing and tightly joined by heat sealing, forming two closing flaps (12a, 12b) of the corresponding end of the wrapper (1) as shown in figures 1 to 3. 5 The outer layer of paper (21) is suitable to be printed and incorporates informative motifs (13) or any other type, which allow the user to know the type of buffer (T) contained in the package without the need to open said package. 10 Once the nature of the invention has been sufficiently described, as well as a preferred embodiment, it is stated for the appropriate purposes that the materials, shape, size and arrangement of the described elements may be modified, provided that this does not imply alteration of the essential features of the invention that are claimed below. 15 6
