Description

technical background

Children are naturally curious. It belongs to the natural Learning process, objects to feel and understand. Small children in particular have it Desire, for everything that is not riveted and nail-proof, for sucking and biting. there a child knows no difference between substances that are beneficial to it and substances that pose dangers.

So it always comes to serious accidents through contact or taking health-endangering Substances. Think of media that e.g. Cause burns or drugs, which have unpredictable consequences if taken incorrectly.

To avert harm to life and limb, but also their consequences, such as avoiding possible claims for recourse, become special demands placed on a childproof packaging.

presentation the invention

It is an object of the invention To create packaging in which the opening process is so difficult is that it made it almost impossible for a child to play with it will get to the contents of the packaging, on the other hand the proper use is not too difficult.

This task is performed according to the characteristics of the Claim 1 solved.

The basic idea of the invention is that means facilitating handling such as peel tabs or Notches are not dispensed with, but they are "hidden" by the child's curiosity Little packaging on its outer contour handling options to open, such as. has such peel tabs or notches.

Only by reading instructions or the interpretation of a picture representation and thereby performing mental performance enables the user to to use these tools and thereby to the contents of the pack to get.

The opening process is more advantageous Further developments of the invention divided into several subsequent steps, which are each assigned a marker, their order must be observed.

The invention is various Packaging variants applicable. The main target is packaging, by tearing open or also tear open with subsequent Peel open. This can be primary or secondary packaging act. The material for Such a pack offers a wide range, it should be on everyone Case tearable his. Examples include packaging made from metal, paper and plastic foils and called their composite materials, such as Deep blister packs Cardboard boxes and bags.

The handling of the packaging according to the invention is preferably that the packaging material is first along a pre-embossed or folded or folded by the line drawn by the marker becomes. Ideally, it runs at right angles a cut or a punch to this crease line. Cut or Die cuts protrude on both sides touch this crease line but neither the outer contour of the pack, still the filling chamber. In special cases This cut can also be shaped to make tearing open more targeted to lead. After folding the packaging material along the crease line the cut becomes part of the outer contour and thus exposed. If the cut is perpendicular to the bend line, they overlap the cuts on both sides of the bending line, so that easy and tearing off this area of the pack possible is. Depending on the pack variant, this provides direct access to the Package content created; in other variants, this is the first the possibility created to get further handling aids, such as to a peelable area of a film.

description of the embodiments

Figure 1 to Figure 3 shows the first embodiment of the invention as a secondary pack 1.0 , The secondary pack 1.0 consists of a bottom film 1.1 , for example from a sealable aluminum composite or a plastic film with a cup preferably produced by deep pressing or deep drawing 1.1.1 , and a cover film, preferably applied by sealing 1.2 , The bowl 1.1.1 accommodates the primary pack PP, which is to be protected against unwanted access. The secondary pack 1.0 has an unsealed area 1.3 that has no connection to the outer contour AK1. The seal-free area 1.3 is to the bowl through another sealing area 1.4 delimited, or as an extension 1.3.1 (Picture 2) of the seal-free bowl area.

The outer contour AK1 is designed so that it does not offer any handling options for opening. The secondary pack shows in the sealing area of the two foils (sealing edge) 1.0 a cut or a die cut 1.5 as the first physical marking, which is neither a connection to the outer contour AK1 nor to the unsealed surface 1.3 / 1.3.1 Has. Preferably at right angles to the cut or die cut 1.5 runs a bending line 1.6 as a second marker. This can be embossed, interrupted, pre-cut or just applied as a visual indication.

To the secondary pack 1.0 is opened by the embossing or marking 1.6 divided tab part L around the bending line 1.6 about 180 degrees towards the bottom film 1.1 or cover film 1.2 bent (Photo 3). The cut 1.5 thus becomes part of the outer contour AK1 'of the secondary pack 1.0 and thus allows the headboard to be torn off 1.7 , This will make the peel area 1.3 the pack 1.0 and thus the exposed edge areas of the foils 1.1 and 1.2 exposed so that the cover sheet 1.2 peeled off and the primary packaging PP can be removed.

Figure 4 shows a second embodiment of a child-resistant packaging 2.0 , The basic structure is identical to that of the packaging 1.0 and is not described in detail. The packaging 2.0 is designed as a primary pack. The product 2.3 is located directly in the bowl 2.1.1 made from the molded bottom sheet 2.1 and the cover sheet 2.2 is formed.

Figure 5 shows a third embodiment of a childproof packaging 3.0 , The packaging 3.0 consists of a bottom film 3.1 with a deep-formed bowl 3.1.1 and a sealed cover film 3.2 , The bowl 3.1.1 serves to hold the contents 3.3 , The bowl 3.1.1 is for the removal of the filling material 3.3 unilaterally through an unsealed area 3.4 extended. The unsealed area 3.4 can in the area of the bottom film 3.1 also be sublime and to a cannula 3.5 be trained. The sealing surface (sealing area) between the bottom film 3.1 and cover film 3.2 is in the area of the unsealed removal area 3.4 to a one-sided tab 3.6 widened. Parallel to the symmetry axis SY1 of the packaging 3.0 runs in the area of the tab 3.6 as a marking a bending line 3.7 which can be physically realized (embossed, perforated, as creasing) or optically executed. Preferably at right angles to the bending line 3.7 a cut or a punch runs as the second physical marking in the end region of the tab 3.8 , Cut or die cut 3.8 protrude on both sides over the bending line 3.7 and have no connection to the outer contour AK2 or to the unsealed removal area 3.4 ,

The childproof packaging 3.0 to open the tab 3.6 around the bend line 3.7 bent by about 180 degrees (image 6) so that the cut 3.8 Becomes part of the outer contour. The packaging 3.0 can now by tearing off the packaging end at the specified interface 3.8 be opened.

Figure 7 and Figure 8 show a fourth embodiment of a child-resistant packaging in the form of a two-component package 4.0 , The packaging 4.0 consists of a deep-formed bottom film 4.1 with two symmetrically arranged bowls 4.1.1 and 4.1.2 , The bowls are sealed with a cover film 4.2 locked. The bowls 4.1.1 and 4.1.2 allow different filling goods 4.3.1 and 4.3.2 take. The bowls 4.1.1 and 4.1.2 are one-sided due to the parallel unsealed areas 4.4.1 and 4.4.2 extended; they serve for the simultaneous discharge of the filling goods 4.3.1 and 4.3.2 , Preferably in the middle of the cavities 4.1.1 and 4.1.2 and parallel to the unsealed extraction extensions 4.4 a bending line runs as the first marking 4.5 that correspond to version 3.0 can be built. Preferably at right angles to the bending line 4.5 runs at the level of the end area of the unsealed extraction extension 4.4 as a second marking a cut or a punch 4.6 , Cut or die cut 4.6 have no connection to the AK3 outer contour or to the unsealed removal areas 4.4.1 and 4.4.2 ,

To open the two-component pack 4.0 be through the bend line 4.5 divided sections A1 and A2 folded along the bending line (Figure 8). The cut or die cut 4.6 thus becomes part of the outer contour AK3. At the specified cut 4.6 can now the upper area OB of the two-component pack 4.0 be separated so that the unsealed areas 4.4.1 and 4.4.2 lie free. By pressing on the deeply shaped bowls 4.1.1 and 4.1.2 can now fill the goods 4.3.1 and 4.3.2 be emptied together.

Figure 9 shows a fifth embodiment of a child-resistant packaging in the form of a rectangular bag 5.0 , The rectangular bag 5.0 consists of the foils 5.1 and 5.2 together. The slides 5.1 and 5.2 are connected to the outer contour AK4 by a sealing edge SR1 and take the contents 5.3 on. The seal edge SR1 is widened in the corner area E and by a bending line 5.4 as the first marking, which runs diagonally to the outer contour, and which can be embossed, perforated or even just marked. Ideally, perpendicular to the bending line 5.4 a cut or a punch runs as the second marking 5.5 , The cut or punch protrudes on both sides beyond the bending line and has no connection to the outer contour AK4 or to the product 5.3 ,

To open the bag, the part of the corner region E of the bag pointing towards the outer contour becomes 5.0 around the bend line 5.4 bent by about 180 degrees so that the cut 5.5 Part of the outer contour AK4. The end area can thus at the specified cut 5.5 separated and the contents 5.3 be removed.

Figure 10 shows a sixth embodiment of a child-resistant packaging, also in the form of a rectangular bag 6.0 , The seal edge SR2, the two foils 6.1 and 6.2 connects, is also widened inward by an area B here. The widening B here extends parallel to the longitudinal orientation of the outer contour AK5 and bears a physical or optical marking as a bending line in this area 6.3 , which also runs parallel to the longitudinal orientation of the outer contour AK5. Ideally, a cut or a punch is a further marking at right angles to the bending line 6.4 appropriate. Cut or die cut 6.4 protrude on both sides over the bending line 6.3 and have no connection to the AK5 outer contour or to the product chamber 6.5 , The opening process corresponds to the example 5.0 ,

Figure 11 shows a seventh embodiment of a child-resistant packaging in the form of a round bag 7.0 (other contours are possible). The seal edge SR3 is widened on the inside at a suitable point, so that a seal edge island IS is created, on which a cut or a punch 7.1 is appropriate. This defines the opening direction. Ideally in the middle and at right angles to the cut 7.1 is a bending line 7.2 specified.

The opening procedure corresponds the bag variants described so far.

Figure 12 shows an eighth embodiment of a child-safe bag packaging 8.0 , In contrast to the previously described bag variants, the sealing edge in area A is partially broadened outwards so that a protruding tab 8.1 arises. A bending line runs parallel to the longitudinal orientation of the sealing edge SR4 8.2 , The bending line 8.2 is arranged so that it is completely on the tab 8.1 lies. On the tab 8.1 is preferably perpendicular to the bending line 8.2 a cut or a die cut 8.3 appropriate. The cut 8.3 or the punching protrude on both sides over the bending line 8.2 out.

To open the bag 8.0 becomes the tab 8.1 around the bend line 8.2 bent. The further opening procedure corresponds to the bag variants already described.

Figure 13 shows a ninth embodiment of a child-safe bag variant as a two-component bag 9.0 to hold various filling goods. The bag 9.0 , shown here as a rectangular bag, is made up of the foils 9.1 and 9.2 together. The slides 9.1 and 9.2 are connected to the outer contour AK6 by a sealing edge SR5. A sealing bar preferably runs in the center of the bag 9.3 who have two chambers 9.4 and 9.5 creates. The sealing bridge 9.3 is in the area of the later outlet opening of the filling goods to a surface 9.6 widened. Preferably in the middle of the sealing bar 9.3 runs the bending line 9.7 , which can be designed as a marking, perforation or embossing. Preferably at right angles to the bending line 9.7 runs in the area of the widened area 9.6 a cut or a die cut 9.10 , The cut or punch protrudes on both sides over the bending line 9.7 out.

To open the bag 9.0 the two are through the bend line 9.7 divided sections A3 and A4 along the bend line 9.7 folded. The cut 9.10 thus becomes part of the outer contour. At the specified cut 9.10 the head part KO2 of the bag can now be separated, so that the product chambers 9.4 and 9.5 are exposed and both products can be removed together.

Figure 14 shows a tenth embodiment of a child-resistant packaging in the form of a rectangular bag with a spout 10.0 , The bag 10.0 is constructed in its removal area so that a pouring opening 10.1 arises, which in this embodiment is perpendicular to the main orientation of the bag 10.0 is arranged and protrudes beyond the bag outer contour AK7 by the dimension a. The seal edge SR6 is in the area of the removal opening 10.1 parallel to this widened so that it b by the dimension b as a tab 10.2 over the basic contour of the bag 10.0 protrudes. On the tab 10.2 is the bend line parallel to the pour opening 10.3 applied as marking, embossing, creasing or partial perforation. There is a cut or a punch at right angles to the bending line 10.4 appropriate. Cut or die cut 10.4 protrude on both sides over the bending line 10.3 out.

The opening principle corresponds to the previous one described bag variants.

Figure 15 shows an eleventh embodiment in the form of a contour bag 11.0 , The exemplary embodiments shown above showed rectangular and round bags. The opening options can be used on bags of any shape. As an example here is the contour bag 11.0 with the opening mechanism of the embodiment 10.0 shown.
