Package

Abstract

A package contains a package insert (3) for fixing objects (30, 31) in place, comprising a web (6) and, arranged in the web, recesses (10, 11) which each partially receive an object (30, 31). The package insert has mutually opposite sections (4, 5, 48, 50) which are connected to each other and between which in each case a group of two objects is arranged. Each section (4, 5) is provided with predetermined tear lines (15) for predefining tear-off package units (14), in such a way that a package unit (14), with the group of objects fixed therein, can be separated from the package insert (3).

Description

The invention relates to a package with a package insert for fixing objects in place according to the preamble of claim 1. Such package inserts are mainly used to receive elongate objects and are employed in particular in the pharmaceutical industry for packing ampules, small bottles, syringes, vials, etc.

A comparable package of the type in question, with a folding box and with a package insert fitted in the latter, has been disclosed in WO 98/15461, for example. The package insert comprises webs that are each designed as triangular hollow bodies standing upright from a base plane. The package insert is formed from a single blank which, after being set upright, is adhesively bonded to the box base. The webs have cutouts which are open toward a top face of the webs and into which elongate objects can be placed. The packed objects can thus be easily removed from the package. For certain applications, however, it may be necessary to prevent the objects from being able to be removed too easily. Moreover, the package does not have what is called a “tamper-evident function”, i.e. evidence as to whether the package has remained intact since initially being filled and sealed by the manufacturer. Moreover, the package is not especially suitable for handling objects in groups. Packages of this kind are assuming an ever more important role. Thus, for certain applications, it may be important to store different active substances separately, for example in vials, but to administer them together. Such pairs of vials can, for example, contain an active substance on the one hand and a solvent on the other.

It is therefore an aim of the present invention to avoid the disadvantages of the prior art and in particular to create a package of the type mentioned at the outset, with which the objects can be better fixed in place in a package insert and which is provided with a tamper-evident function. The package should also be easy to handle and, in particular, permit advantageous grouped storage of objects.

This aim or other aims are achieved with a package having the features in claim 1.

According to the invention, a package has a package insert for fixing objects in place, comprising at least one web and, arranged in the web, recesses which each at least partially receive an object. The web is fixed on a bottom section. For this bottom section, the term “bottom wall section” is also used for simplicity hereinbelow. Moreover, the at least one web can preferably be covered by a top wall section or by another section. By means of at least the bottom section being provided with predetermined tear lines, tear-off package units can be defined. In this way, a package unit, with an object or with a group of objects, can be easily separated from the package insert.

In addition or alternatively, the package insert can have at least one web and, arranged in the web, recesses which each at least partially receive an object. The package insert can also have sections which lie opposite each other and are connected or connectable to each other, between which sections an object or a group of objects is arranged. At least the two said sections can each be provided with predetermined tear lines for predefining tear-off package units, such that a package unit, with an object fixed in place therein or with a group of objects fixed in place therein, can be separated from the package insert.

The package insert can preferably be used for fixing in place objects that extend in a longitudinal direction. For this purpose, the package insert can have sections which each extend in a longitudinal direction and on which the objects extending in a longitudinal direction are placed or can be placed. Depending on the embodiment, these sections can be the bottom wall section and the top wall section, or the side-wall sections lying opposite each other.

The at least one web can extend transversely with respect to the longitudinal direction and preferably approximately at right angles to the longitudinal direction. For this direction of the web, the term “web direction” is also used hereinbelow. In terms of cross-section, the webs can have a triangular, trapezoidal or rectangular profiled shape. This profile can extend transversely with respect to the longitudinal direction (or in the web direction) so as to form a hollow body. However, other designs of the webs in terms of their cross-section are also conceivable. These include, for example, a double-walled web standing upright relative to a base plane, with the web side-walls bearing on each other and adhesively bonded to each other.

It may be advantageous if each section (that is to say, depending on the embodiment, at least the bottom wall section and the top wall section; or the two side-wall sections and, if appropriate, the bottom wall section) is provided with predetermined tear lines. In this way, individual package units can be easily separated from the rest of the package insert. Since the bottom wall section and the top wall section or the side-wall sections lie opposite each other and are connected to each other, advantageous storage of the objects in the package insert is also ensured at the same time. In particular, this arrangement can also ensure that an object or a group of objects is still securely stored even in package units that have been detached.

In an advantageous embodiment, the sections (for example the stated side-wall sections) can be assigned to a common blank. In this case, the sections can be connected to one another by further sections separated from them by fold lines.

Alternatively, however, the sections described at the outset can also be formed by separate parts made of cardboard or of a cardboard laminate. For example, bottom wall section and top wall section can be designed as separate planar parts. Bottom wall section and top wall section can be connected to each other via an intermediate part that can predefine the web or webs. Adhesive can be used to fix the connection.

In order to predefine tear-off package units, the at least one web can be provided with predetermined tear lines and/or cut lines. With this arrangement, the package units can be separated particularly easily from the package insert.

A web can extend in a web direction across the width of the package insert. Instead of a continuous web, an arrangement of webs can also be divided into individual separate webs (or web segments), which can each extend across only a part of the width of the package insert.

Several separate webs can be arranged next to one another in the web direction on the bottom wall section, and the predetermined tear lines can extend between the webs.

Separate webs can be arranged offset from one another on the bottom section or on the bottom wall section, in which case the predetermined tear lines follow the offset arrangement of the web segments. Particularly advantageously, the predetermined tear lines can be designed with a more or less serpentine shape, said serpentine shape being predefined by the offset arrangement of the web segments.

Individual web segments, spaced apart from one another in relation to the web direction, can be arranged on the bottom wall section. Each web can be provided with a recess which is open toward a top face of the web and which receives an object. A further object is received or can be received in the gap formed by the space between two webs. In this way, the storage capacity of a package can be optimized.

In order to form groups of two, or pairs of objects, the package insert can particularly advantageously have four webs or web segments which are arranged behind one another and which are each arranged spaced apart from one another, of which two webs or web segments in each case serve for the storage of one object.

An advantageous embodiment can also be obtained if the at least one web has a plurality of cutouts which are open toward a top face of the web and which are predefined by the recesses and each receive an object. Elongate objects, for example, can be easily placed in these cutouts and stored horizontally therein. To block off the recesses open toward the top face of the web, the package insert can have, as a cover, the top wall section which is preferably affixed to the top face of the web. The top wall section (i.e. the cover) can be provided with predetermined tear lines for ensuring the tear-off function of the package insert.

At least one web can be a hollow body standing upright from a base plane and provided with two web side-walls and with a top face that preferably extends parallel to the base plane. The web side-walls can be laterally adjoined by fastening sections which are arranged on the base plane and which are preferably fixed on the bottom section and adhesively bonded to the latter. The fastening sections can be provided with predetermined tear lines and alternatively with cut lines, in which case these lines can preferably extend congruently with respect to the predetermined tear lines assigned to the bottom wall section or to the top wall section.

In an alternative embodiment, the package insert can have a profiled body which is produced from preferably one blank and which is formed by adhesive bonding and folding operations, which profiled body in terms of its cross-section surrounds an object or a group of objects. The web can in this case be an integral component part of the profiled body. For packing elongate objects, the mutually opposite side-wall sections provided with predetermined tear lines can extend in the longitudinal direction like the objects.

It may be particularly advantageous if the profiled body has a web standing upright from a base plane and of preferably triangular, trapezoidal or rectangular cross-section. The web can divide the interior of the profiled body into two cavities, with one object being assigned to each cavity. For example, two objects can in this way be combined particularly advantageously in one group per package unit.

The web can have web side-walls provided with recesses, which recesses each extend, starting from a base plane, in the direction of a top face of the web, and an object is or can be partially received in a respective recess. This design of the package insert is suitable in particular for upright storage of elongate objects, in which case one end of the object (e.g. a bottom of a vial) can bear on the base plane.

Further advantages may be afforded if, in order to fix the objects in place on both sides in the area of the base plane, mutually opposite recesses are arranged on the web side-walls and on the side wall sections.

On the face lying opposite the base plane, the mutually opposite side wall sections can be adjoined by bridge sections which are oriented toward each other and which can be connected to each other by overlapping adhesive sections. For advantageously fixing the objects in place in the area of the face lying opposite the base plane, the bridge sections can be provided with recesses which each partially receive an object.

The package can comprise a folding box which is made preferably from one blank and in which the package insert is or can be fitted. However, it would of course also be conceivable for the above-described package insert to be used as a package without a folding box or any other outer packaging.

An advantageous embodiment can be obtained if the package has a folding box made preferably from one blank and comprising a box base. The box base can form the bottom wall section of the package insert, to which the fastening sections of the webs are preferably secured and particularly preferably adhesively bonded. In this arrangement, the package insert can be integrated in an advantageous manner in a box. In addition or alternatively, the box base can be provided with predetermined tear lines in such a way that the package insert can be pressed out of the folding box. Of course, the box base can, by means of alternative configurations, predefine other types of separation. For example, solutions with separating threads are conceivable, or with tear-off strips predefined by perforation lines for detaching the package insert.

Such a design of the box base can also be advantageous for packages with conventional package inserts. For the latter case, it would not therefore be strictly necessary to provide package inserts with perforation lines.

Further individual features and advantages of the invention will become clear from the following description of the illustrative embodiments and from the drawings, in which:

FIG. 15 shows a perspective view of another illustrative embodiment of a package insert, and

FIG. 16 shows a cross-section through a package with a folding box and with a package insert fastened directly to a box base.

FIG. 1 shows a package designated overall by reference sign 1, with a parallelepipedal folding box 2 whose lid is opened. A package insert 3 for fixing objects in place is fitted in the folding box 2, of which package insert 3 an upper section 5 can be seen that predefines a cover. Reference signs 30 and 31 designate objects stored horizontally in the package insert. The section 5, designated hereinbelow as top wall section, is provided with four more or less serpentine predetermined tear lines 15, by means of which the package insert 3 can be divided into individual package units. A first package unit is designated by 14, and an adjacent package unit is designated by 14′. Each package unit is assigned two objects, which are assigned one behind the other in relation to a longitudinal direction (longitudinal direction is indicated by a line A). In the present illustrative embodiment, small bottles, also known as vials to a person skilled in the art, are stored for example. In FIG. 1, the top of the small bottle 31 and the bottom of the small bottle 30 can each be seen. The pairs of small bottles are thus alternately arranged in different orientation next to one another.

From FIG. 2, which depicts an individual package unit separated from the package insert, it can be clearly seen that each package unit is assigned two objects. It will be noted that the small bottles extending in the longitudinal direction A are arranged one behind the other. The small bottles are received in cutouts predefined by recesses 10, 11 in the webs 6 and 7. The webs 6 and 7 are part of a web arrangement that comprises individual web segments each assigned to a package unit. The webs 6 and 7 are hollow bodies standing upright from a base plane B and extending transversely with respect to the longitudinal direction A, the web profile of the web itself being more or less trapezoidal and the web profile of the web 7 being approximately rectangular. The webs 6 and 7 are assigned to an intermediate part, which is securely connected to a lower section 4. For this bottom section 4, the term “bottom wall section” is used hereinafter. The webs also have a top face, which is plane-parallel to the bottom wall section 4, and two web side-walls. Since the two webs are of similar design, only the web 6 is depicted in detail in FIG. 2 (top face 16 of the web, web side-walls 17 and 18). The web side-walls 17 and 18 are adjoined laterally by fastening sections 19 and 20, which are affixed to the bottom wall section 4.

FIG. 2 then shows that the serpentine separation lines produced by the separation of the two mutually opposite sections 4 and 5 extend approximately congruent with respect to each other. As will be seen, the separation line has subsidiary sections that extend in the longitudinal direction and subsidiary sections that extend obliquely. The subsidiary section of the separation line designated by 45, and extending in the longitudinal direction A, lies on a separation plane predefined by the front end of the web 6. The subsidiary section designated by 46 likewise extends in the longitudinal direction and is designed congruently with respect to the front end of the web 7. The two other subsidiary sections 47 and 48 are assigned to webs (not shown in FIG. 2) which are offset in relation to the two webs 6 and 7 in the package insert (but see FIG. 6 for example). They too extend in each case congruently with respect to front ends of their associated webs. These webs are assigned to the package unit designated by 14′ in FIG. 1.

FIG. 3 shows a blank for an intermediate part of the package insert, from which blank the webs can be produced by being set upright. The blank 32 is advantageously made of cardboard or of a cardboard laminate. The dot and dash lines and the double dot and dash lines correspond to fold lines. The dashed lines represent perforation lines, of which the perforation lines extending at right angles to the arrow A permit simple folding-open during the process of setting the webs upright. Only the obliquely extending perforation lines 25, 26 and 27 are designed as predetermined tear lines. The predetermined tear lines permit separation of individual package units. The predetermined break lines 25, 26 and 27 extend congruently with respect to the predetermined tear lines of the bottom wall section and top wall section. The perforation lines are also indicated by dashed lines in all the other figures.

A plurality of recesses are arranged in the blank. The recesses 10 are assigned to the web or the web segment 6, and the recess 11 is assigned to the web or the web segment 7 (cf. FIG. 2). The other recesses 12 and 13 are assigned to those webs or web segments offset in relation to the ones previously mentioned. Between two adjacent web segments, a rectangular cutout is in each case arranged in the blank 32. After the webs have been set upright, the cutout designated by reference sign 24 forms a gap, which would adjoin the web designated by reference sign 6 in FIG. 2.

FIG. 4 is a plan view of a blank for the top wall section 5, which is provided with predetermined tear lines 15 of serpentine shape. The bottom wall section (not shown) has approximately the same configuration, except for having slightly greater external dimensions.

FIG. 5 shows a blank 22 for the folding box. The blank 22 has a rectangular section 21, which forms the box base. The box base forms a bearing surface for the bottom wall section 4 of the package insert (cf. FIG. 2). Such folding boxes have been known of and in use for some considerable time, for which reason this part of the package is not explained in detail.

FIG. 6 shows a package according to a second illustrative embodiment, in which the package insert is modified slightly in relation to the first illustrative embodiment. In FIG. 6, a package arrangement designated by reference sign 1′ is shown which comprises a folding box 2 and a package insert fitted in the latter, but with the package insert missing the cover or top wall section. In this position (i.e. without cover), the objects could easily be placed horizontally into the corresponding recesses in the webs of the package insert. Cutouts can be seen in FIG. 6 which are open toward top faces 16 of the webs and which are provided by the respective recesses and are each used to receive an object. After the package insert has been filled, the cover can be placed on top and connected firmly to the package insert by adhesive bonding.

It can be seen in FIG. 6 that it has separate webs 6, 7, 8, 9 spaced apart from one another in the web direction, which extends transversely with respect to the longitudinal direction A. Between the webs there is a gap in which an object can be received. For example, the individual webs of a middle row of webs extending in the transverse direction are designated by 8, 8′, 8″. Such a gap is located between the webs 8 and 8′ and between the webs 8′ and 8″.

FIG. 7 shows a package insert 3 comprising two sections which extend in a manner plane-parallel to each other and have predetermined tear lines 15, specifically the bottom wall section 4 and the top wall section 5. The space between the sections 4 and 5 extending in a manner plane-parallel to each other is bridged by the webs 6, 7, 8 and 9. To allow a better understanding of the structure, the objects fixed in place in the package insert 3 are not depicted in FIG. 7.

In contrast to the preceding illustrative embodiments, FIG. 8 shows a package with a package insert in which the pairs of objects 30 and 31 assigned to a package unit 14 are not arranged one behind the other, but instead next to one another in a vertical arrangement. This is illustrated in FIG. 8 by the longitudinal axes A₁ and A₂ approximately parallel to each other. The vial 30 extends in the longitudinal direction A₁, while the vial 31 extends in the longitudinal direction A₂. The package insert 3 comprises five package units 14 to 14^IV, of which the package unit designated by reference sign 14 has been separated from the rest of the package inserts 14^I to 14^IV.

The package insert has a profiled body 23, which surrounds the paired groups of objects 30 and 31 arranged next to one another. A web 6 of triangular cross-section is arranged in the interior and divides the interior of the profiled body. The profiled body 23 has two side-wall sections 49 and 50, which lie opposite each other and which extend parallel to the longitudinal directions A₁/A₂. The bottom wall section 40, on which the adhesive sections 19 and 20 of the profiled body 23 lie flat and are adhesively fixed, lies on the base plane indicated by B. The sections 49 and 50 are each adjoined by sections 33, 34 designated as bridge sections, which extend obliquely upward. Toward the top, the package insert is closed by adhesive sections which overlap each other and are adhesively bonded to each other. An adhesive section 35 which adjoins a bridge section 33, and which extends approximately plane-parallel with respect to the base plane B, can be seen in FIG. 8.

The web 6 has web side-walls (not visible in FIG. 8) each provided with recesses, which recesses each extend in the direction of a top face 16 of the web, starting from the base plane B, and an object 30, 31 is partially received in each of these recesses. To fix the objects 30, 31 in place on both sides, recesses lying opposite the abovementioned recesses are arranged on the side-wall sections 49, 50 in the area of the base plane. The recess assigned to the side-wall section 50 can be seen in FIG. 8 and is designated by reference sign 29. On the face lying opposite the base plane, a recess 37 can be seen in the bridge section 33, in which recess 37 the other front end of the object 30 is partially received.

FIG. 9 shows a blank 22 for the folding box from FIG. 8. FIGS. 10 and 14 depict a variant in which the box base 21 is provided with perforation lines 43 and 44. With the aid of these perforation lines, a package insert can be pressed out of the folding box and the package units can then be detached from one another. The package insert can be adhesively bonded to the box base, with the outer predetermined tear line 43 then defining the contour for the bottom section of the package insert. Theoretically, however, it is also conceivable that a profiled body predefining the package insert is adhesively bonded directly to the box base 21. It is therefore possible to dispense with a further separate bottom section.

FIG. 11 shows a blank for a profiled body for a package in the manner of the third illustrative embodiment. As is evident from the associated FIG. 13, the package insert 3 differs in terms of a slightly modified design of the bridge sections 35 and 36. Otherwise, the package inserts have the same design. As is evident in particular from the view of the blank 32 in FIG. 11, the area of the webs is provided, for easy separation, with cut lines 42, as a result of which the individual package units can be more easily released from the package insert. Predetermined tear lines 15 are provided only in the side-wall sections 49 and 50 and in the adjoining sections 19, 34 and 35, on the one hand, and 20, 33 and 36, on the other hand.

FIG. 12 shows a bottom wall section 40 which has transversely extending predetermined tear lines 41 for predefining individual packages.

It will be seen from FIG. 15 that a package insert does not necessarily need to have a cover or a top wall section. The package insert 3 shown here is composed of only two components: a bottom wall section 4 and, secured thereon, a part forming a central web 6. The illustrative embodiment according to FIG. 15 differs from the preceding illustrative embodiments in that the objects 30 are guided through recesses in the web 6. Instead of the objects being set down, they have to be guided in through the closed recesses.

FIG. 16 shows a package variant in which the package insert 3, formed from only one blank, bears on the box base directly, without a separate bottom wall section, and is adhesively bonded to said box base. In other words, the bottom wall section 4 is identical to the box base 21. To allow the package insert to be pressed out, the box base 21 is provided with perforation lines 43.
