  • Patent number: 8911772
    Abstract: The invention relates to laminate segments equipped or coated with an adhesive matrix, particularly transdermal therapeutic systems having formulations strongly tending to leak adhesive. The inventive laminate segments include a matrix, with or without a back layer, a protective layer on the adhesive side of the matrix, provided with a cut as a peel-off aid, and a cover film partially coated with adhesive, applied to the protective film, which overlaps the cut in the protective film using the adhesive-free part thereof. The cover film prevents a leakage of the adhesive through the cut, and therefore a gluing together of the laminate segments to the packaging material thereof, without having an adverse effect on the function of the cut as a peel-off aid. Such laminate segments can be produced without the use of any intermediate carriers.

  • Patent number: 7523826
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for packaging piece-items in a disposable packaging, and to a disposable packaging. A labelled support card comprising at least one gas-impermeable layer is provided with at least one piece-item. The projected bearing surface of the piece-item and a joint surface of the labelled support card surrounding said bearing surface are smaller than the largest gas-impermeable layer. Openings are made around said joint surface along a closed three-dimensional curve, piercing at least all the gas-impermeable layers. The fitted support card is covered by a gas-impermeable extensible film. The space defined by the extensible film and the support card is evacuated by means of the openings. At least one joint surface of the extensible film enters into adhesive contact with at least one joint surface of the labelled support card, forming a sealed joint.

  • Patent number: 7434798
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for grouping a multitude of film-like or sheet-like materials, which are stacked in a magazine (20) and which consist of at least one material layer, using at least one suction apparatus (42), which suctions the film-like or sheet-like materials in a clocked matter while removing them from the magazine, whereby one film-like or sheet-like material at a time directly rests with a portion of its surface that forms a contact surface against the suction device. To this end, one portion of the magazine contents consists of gas-impermeable film-like or sheet-like materials whereas another portion contains film-like or sheet-like materials that are each provided with at least one gas-permeable zone. The invention develops a method for grouping film-like or sheet-like materials during which a number of film-like or sheet-like materials can be grouped without impairing the speed of subsequent processing.
