Definitions
- Tablets are often, for hygienic reasons, packed in blister packages, where each tablet is enclosed individually. Another reason for this package is that the tablets cannot stick to each other. One more reason is that they cannot wear on each other or damage each other. One more reason is that you can easily see how many tablets have been taken respectively are left.
- blister packages are mostly packed in protective exterior packing in the form of cardboard boxes on which there are texts, logotypes and so on. First to take out the blister package from an exterior packing to take out a tablet is inconvenient. The blister package itself becomes more and more disfigured as there are more and more broken blisters with projecting edges.
- lozenges can stick together and they can, particularly when there are only few left, damage each other. It can be difficult to get hold of just one lozenge and when offering somebody to take one, it may be considered as unhygienic to put your finger into the package. Furthermore it is difficult to see how many lozenges there are left.
- the purpose of this invention is a package for tablets and the like where the above inconveniences have been eliminated.
- the package is above all meant for pharmaceutical tablets and common throat lozenges but it can also be used for other small bodies.
- the invention has the characteristics which are described in the patent requirements.
- Figure 1 shows a package seen from above.
- Figure 2 shows the package according to Figure 1 , Section A - A.
- Figure 3 shows a second version of a package seen from above.
- Figure 4 shows the package according to Figure 3, Section B - B.
- the lower part of the package is indicated by 1.
- the lower part is made of plastic-foil by heating and shaping by pressure and vacuum in a well-known manner.
- the lower part has a plane upper surface and blisters making spaces 2 for the contents of the package.
- the lower part is made of so thick and stiff plastic that the blisters will keep their shape.
- the straight side edges of the lower part are indicated by 3 and 4.
- the spaces 2 have an oblong shape and contain pharmaceutical capsules 5.
- the spaces are arranged in two columns with two spaces in each row.
- On top of the lower part 1 is a strong but flexible plastic foil 6 , whose side edges 7 and 8 stretch outside the side edges 3 and 4 of the lower part.
- the parts of the plastic foil which are outside the side edges of the lower part make the grip edges 9 and 10.
- the plastic foil is welded against the lower part round each space.
- the welding area is indicated by black 11.
- the welding area is designed so that it has a tip against the side edge 3 of the lower part. As can be seen in the figure it has a narrow welding area on each side of the space.
- the welding area between the space and the side edge 3 of the lower part can be said to have the shape of two oblique legs 12 and the breadth of these taken parallel with the side edge 3 of the lower side is roughly the same as the total breadth of the welding areas outside the space.
- the two spaces in the first row have been emptied of their contents and sealed again.
- the space in column one row two has been opened and the opening strip 13 is shown standing straight up from the packing.
- the welding area exposed by the opening strip is indicated by 14.
- the grip edge 9 is gripped and a foil strip 13 is ripped from the self-adhesive tape glue 15 and particularly from the welding area 14.
- the foil strip has been pulled as far as shown in Figure 2, the whole space is uncovered. Further ripping is prevented by the broad welding area 17 at right angles to the direction of the ripping and the ripped foil strip remains on the lower part of the package.
- the welding area 17 which is at right angles to the direction of the ripping can be welded more strongly to the lower part than the welding area intended to be ripped.
- the capsule is taken out by turning the package.
- a lower part of the package is indicated by 18. Its blisters are round spaces 19 for tablets 20.
- the side edges 21 and 22 of the lower part have been curved inwards.
- a plastic foil 23 has been welded. It has straight side edges. Grip edges 24 and 25 are formed in the plastic foil above the inward curves of the lower part. The areas where the plastic foil has been welded to the lower part are visible in column one row two and row four in the same way as in Figure 1.
- the areas marked with slanting lines 26 in row two and row four show the areas where there is tape glue.
- the plastic foil has been cut according to the horizontal lines 27 and the vertical line 28. The cut is here so deep that apart from the fact that the plastic foil has been entirely cut through also the lower part has been cut so deep that breaking indications have been formed in it, so that the package can be divided by hand into smaller pieces. Pulling the foil strip 29, taking out the tablets and sealing the foil strip is made in the same way as described above.
- the lower part can be made of aluminium where blisters have been pressed out.
- the lower part can also be made of injection-moulded plastic or be made in another way.
- the removable plastic foil can be a single plastic foil or a laminate of different plastics or plastic and another material.
- the foil is so transparent that one can easily see if the space below is empty or not. For this it is not necessary that the foil or part of it is as clear as glass. In fact it can be advisable when it is a question of pharmaceutical tablets to state the contents above each space.
- the name of it and other information can be printed on an entirely transparent foil or on a foil which is faintly milk-white. It can also be arranged so that half the surface covering the space is transparent and the other half has a text on a white background.
- the invention is a package which has the contents sealed individually, which is very easy to open and which, after the contents have been taken out, can be sealed again so that it gets back its original shape and does not cause any refuse.
- the package can be put into a cardboard box.
- the grip edges (9 and 10) projecting from the lower part can be folded round the side edges of the lower part (3,4) in order to limit the breadth of the box.
- Two or more packages can of course be put into the same box. Two packages can be put together with their bottoms against each other.
