Abstract
The upgraded bottle for fluid products, particularly pharmaceutical, medicinal and cosmetic products, comprising a containing body for containing a fluid product, particularly a pharmaceutical, medicinal or cosmetic product, a dispensing mouth of the product defined at one end of the containing body, a tearable membrane for closing the dispensing mouth, a closing element that can be screwed up or unscrewed on such end of the containing body and provided with a cap inside which is defined at least one perforator of the membrane, and maintaining means for maintaining the cap in a safety configuration, in which the perforator is substantially positioned away from the membrane and in which the cap can be freely turned around the screwing up and unscrewing axis of the closing element in at least one direction of rotation.
Description
- The present invention refers to an upgraded bottle for fluid products, particularly pharmaceutical, medicinal or cosmetic products.
- Plastic bottles are known that are used in pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries to package one or more doses of fluid, liquid or pasty products and which are essentially made up of a containing body for containing the product which, at one end, extends in a neck, at the top of which a product dispensing mouth is defined; the dispensing mouth is closed by a tearable membrane.
- The end of the containing body opposite the neck is open to allow, during bottle packaging, the introduction of the product into the containing body, after which this is closed, for example, by sealing.
- Over the neck, a cap is fitted, from the ceiling of which a membrane perforating element extends internally.
- On the inner side surface of the cap a retention ring is obtained which, in bottle packaging closed configuration, is engaged by triggering in a corresponding ring-shaped groove defined on the outer side surface of the neck, so as to withhold the perforating element at a height above that of the membrane that closes the dispensing mouth.
- At the time of use, the cap is fitted onto the neck of the containing body until the retention ring disengages from the corresponding groove and the perforating element tears the membrane and opens the dispensing mouth, after which the cap is removed from the neck to allow product dispensing.
- Furthermore, the containing body has a pair of grip flaps that extend, in a diametrically opposite direction the one to the other, from its outer side surface.
- The known bottles can be produced in single units or interlinked with one another in series (strips); in this latter case the grip flaps of the containing bodies of two successive bottles are temporarily joined together along pre-breakage lines.
- These bottles are nevertheless susceptible to upgrading, in particular in order to avoid a potentially harmful use of the product they contain.
- In particular, the known bottles are without safety means suitable for preventing, or at least making less easy, the opening of the dispensing mouth and the removal of the cap by children, who could swallow the product inside the bottles in an incorrect way, with obvious risk for their health.
- Such bottles, furthermore, do not show, in a clear and immediately perceivable way, any tampering and/or having already been opened including involuntarily, and do not ensure the integrity and the sterility of the product they contain.
- It can in fact occur that the bottles, handled or placed in storage units (drawers, wardrobes, utility cases, etc.), are subjected to knocks such as to push their cap on the neck until the perforating element tears the membrane before the product is actually used, the obstacle provided by the coupling between the retention ring and the corresponding ring-shaped groove not often being enough to contrast such knocks.
- To overcome these drawbacks, at least in part, bottles are known comprising a pair of seal flaps that protrude from the containing body in diametrically opposite directions, located in between the grip flaps and the cap and associated, removable by tearing, with the body, with the grip flaps or with the cap along respective weakened areas.
- When the bottle is used, by rotating the cap, the breakage of the above-mentioned weakened areas is obtained, thus evidencing that opening has occurred.
- The bottles are however without the above-mentioned safety means suitable for preventing, or at least making opening by children less easy.
- A different type of bottles for fluid products is made in a single body piece in which, that is, the product containing body is formed together with closing means in a single body without any interruption whatsoever.
- The closing means are connected to the body by means of deformable and breakable elements that act as safety seals; deformations and/or breakages of the above elements are signs of tampering.
- Nevertheless, the manufacture of this different type of bottles in a single body piece requires complex manufacturing procedures and high production costs.
- The main aim of the present invention is to provide an upgraded bottle for fluid products, particularly pharmaceutical, medicinal or cosmetic products, that provides minimum safety requirements suitable for preventing or in any case restricting the potentially harmful use of the products contained in it.
- Within this technical aim, another object of the present invention is to ensure the integrity and the sterility of the products packed inside the bottles.
- Another object of the invention is to make it possible to see that the bottles have been opened, in a clear and immediate way.
- Another object of the invention is to cater for the above aims with a simple structure, of relatively practical implementation, safe to use and with effective operation, as well as having a relatively low cost.
- The above-mentioned objects are all achieved by this upgraded bottle for fluid products, particularly pharmaceutical, medicinal and cosmetic products, comprising a containing body for containing a fluid product, particularly a pharmaceutical, medicinal or cosmetic product, a dispensing mouth of said product defined at one end of said containing body, a tearable membrane for closing said dispensing mouth, a closing element that can be screwed up or unscrewed on said end of the containing body and provided with a cap inside which is defined at least one perforator of said membrane, characterized in that it comprises maintaining means for maintaining said cap in a safety configuration, in which said perforator is substantially positioned away from said membrane and in which said cap can be freely turned around the screwing up and unscrewing axis of said closing element in at least one direction of rotation.
- Further characteristics and advantages of this invention will appear even more evident from the detailed description of two preferred, but not exclusive, embodiments of an upgraded bottle for fluid products, particularly pharmaceutical, medicinal or cosmetic products, illustrated indicatively by way of non limiting example, in the attached drawings wherein:
- the
FIG. 1 is a front view of a plurality of bottles according to a first embodiment of the invention; - the
FIGS. 2 and 3 are section views of a detail of the first embodiment of the bottle according to the invention in a safety configuration and in a work configuration; - the
FIG. 4 is a front view of a plurality of bottles according to a second embodiment of the invention; - the
FIGS. 5 , 6 and 7 are section views of a detail of the second embodiment of the bottle according to the invention in a safety configuration, in a work configuration and in an opening configuration. - With special reference to such figures, an upgraded bottle for fluid products, particularly pharmaceutical, medicinal or cosmetic products, has been globally designated by reference number 1.
- The bottle 1 comprises a containing
body 2 of a fluid product (pharmaceutical, medicinal or cosmetic) which is of substantially cylindrical and elongated shape and which extends at one end into aneck 3, at the top of which a product dispensingmouth 4 is defined. - A
closing element 5 is associated screwing up and unscrewing with theneck 3 and has acap 6, inside which is defined aperforator 7 of aclosing membrane 8 integrated with the outer edge of the dispensingmouth 4. - The
membrane 8 can, for example, be made up of a polymeric material disk integrated with the containingbody 2 during the latter's pressing phase. - Advantageously, the bottle 1 comprises maintaining means for maintaining the
cap 6 in a safety configuration, in which theperforator 7 is substantially positioned away from themembrane 8 and in which thecap 6 can be freely turned around the screwing up and unscrewing axis of theclosing element 5. - In a first embodiment of the invention, shown in the
FIGS. 1 , 2 and 3, theclosing element 5 comprises aplug 9 inside thecap 5, theperforator 7 extends from the ceiling of theplug 9, inside this and towards the dispensingmouth 4. - Threaded means are fitted that permit screwing up and unscrewing the
plug 9 to theneck 3 which are made up of ascrew 10 defined on the outer side surface of theneck 3, and acorresponding nut screw 11 defined on the inner side surface of theplug 9. - The
cap 6 is fitted over theplug 9 and is associated with it sliding between the above safety configuration, shown inFIG. 2 , and a work configuration, shown inFIG. 3 , in which thecap 6 is made integral with theplug 9 by placing coupling means in between. - Such coupling means can include, for example, one or
more protrusions 12 defined on the outer surface of theplug 9, near the lower edge, and suitable for being inserted insiderespective slots 13 defined longitudinally on the inner surface of thecap 6. - Once the
cap 6 has been moved to the work configuration, after the insertion of theprotrusions 12 inside theslots 13, the relative rotation is prevented between theplug 9 and thecap 6. - Alternatively, different types of coupling means can be provided in which the protrusions and the relevant slots are shaped and distributed differently on the
plug 9 and on thecap 6. - The above maintaining means for maintaining the
cap 6 in the safety configuration can be of theelastic means type 14 which act in contrast to the movement of thecap 6 from the safety configuration to the work configuration. - In particular,
such elastic means 14 are made up of a plurality of foil springs fixed to the inner surface of thecap 6, at the ceiling, and engageable by bending on the outer surface of theplug 9, at a substantially conicalupper portion 15 and with cross section substantially diverging towards the containingbody 2. - Usefully, the bottle 1 can comprise a
first retention ring 16 defined protruding from the outer surface and of theplug 9, and asecond retention ring 17 defined protruding at the base of the inner side surface of thecap 6. - The first and the
second retention ring cap 6 and theplug 9 from moving further away from each other in the safety configuration. - Advantageously, the bottle 1 comprises a sealing
collar 18 fitted coaxially on theneck 3 and placed, removable by tearing, in between the containingbody 2 and theclosing element 5. - In particular, the upper surface of the sealing
collar 18 is associated with the lower portion of theplug 9 along first weakenedareas 19, of the preset breakage line type. - Usefully, the bottle 1 comprises a ring-
shaped ridge 30 defined protruding from the outer surface of theneck 3, underneath theclosing element 5, and suitable for withholding the sealingcollar 18 around the containingbody 2 after its detachment from theplug 9. - Different conformations and arrangements of the ring-
shaped ridge 30 cannot however be ruled out. - In a second embodiment of the invention, shown in
FIGS. 4 , 5, 6 and 7, theclosing element 5 consists of acap 6, directly fitted over theneck 3. - The
perforator 7 is defined protruding from the ceiling of thecap 6, inside it and towards the dispensingmouth 4. - The maintaining means for maintaining the
cap 6 in the safety configuration comprise afirst retention element 20, of the first ring-shaped tooth type defined protruding from the side surface of theneck 3, which engages with acorresponding lock element 21, of the ring-shaped groove type, defined on the inner side surface of thecap 6. - In particular, the fitting of the first ring-
shaped tooth 20 inside the ring-shaped groove 21 permits blocking thecap 6 in the safety configuration. - The product 1 also comprises a
second retention element 22, consisting of a second ring-shaped tooth defined protruding from the side surface of theneck 3, below the first ring-shaped tooth 20. - Usefully, in the work configuration, with the
cap 6 further fitted over theneck 3, the second ring-shaped tooth 22 is fitted inside the ring-shaped groove 21. - The bottle 1 comprises threaded means which, in the work configuration, permit screwing up and unscrewing the
cap 6 to theneck 3. - The threaded means are made up of a
screw 23 defined on the outer side surface of theneck 3, and of acorresponding nut screw 24 defined on the inner side surface of thecap 6. - Usefully, in the safety configuration the
screw 23 and thenut screw 24 are positioned apart. - Similarly to the first embodiment illustrated above, the bottle 1 comprises a sealing
collar 18 fitted coaxially on theneck 3 and placed, removable by tearing, in between the containingbody 2 and theclosing element 5. - In particular, the upper surface of the sealing
collar 18 is associated with the lower portion of thecap 6 along first weakenedareas 19, of the preset breakage line type. - The bottle 1 also comprises a pair of
grip flaps 25 that extend from the containingbody 2 along diametrically opposite directions. - With reference both to the first and the second embodiment, as shown in
FIGS. 1 and 4 , several bottles 1 can be associated with one another at thegrip flaps 25 and by interposing second weakenedareas 26, of the preset breakage line type or the like. - Advantageously, the
caps 6 of the bottles 1 can be fitted with an operatingkey 27 suitable for making gripping easier by a user, which can be made up of a band substantially wrapped around thecap 6 and integral with it (FIGS. 1-3 ) or, alternatively, by a pair of operating flaps, each diametrically opposite the other, and defined protruding from the outer side surface of the cap 6 (FIGS. 4-5 ). - Usefully, the operating
keys 27 of thecaps 6 of bottles 1, the one against the other, can be associated by interposing thirdweakened areas 28, of the preset breakage line type or the like. - At the end of the containing
body 2 opposite theneck 3 anopening 29 is defined through which, during the packaging phase of the bottle 1, the product is introduced; after filling, theopening 29 is closed, for example by the sealing of its lips. - The operation of the invention is the following.
- With particular reference to the first embodiment of the invention, shown in the
FIGS. 1 , 2 and 3, before being used the bottle 1 is in the safety configuration (FIG. 2 ). - After the bottle 1 has been removed from the strip, shown in
FIG. 1 , thecap 6 is further fitted over theneck 3 by means of a pressure action and slides from the safety configuration to the work configuration, in contrast to the action of the foil springs 14. - In such work configuration, the
protrusions 12 are fitted in theirrespective slots 13 and a screwing up twisting action on thecap 6 causes the integral rotation of theplug 9, with screwing up of theplug 9 itself on theneck 3 and the moving of theperforator 7 closer to the dispensingmouth 4, as far as contact and breakage of the membrane 8 (FIG. 3 ). - During the sliding of the
cap 6 from the safety configuration to the work configuration the lower edge of thecap 6 engages on the upper surface of the sealingcollar 18, causing the breakage of the first weakenedareas 19 and the fall of the sealingcollar 18 underneath the ring-shapedridge 30. - The ring-shaped
ridge 30 withholds the sealingcollar 18 around the containingbody 2 during the subsequent stages of use of the bottle 1. - An unscrewing twisting action on the
cap 6, always lowered in the work configuration, permits the removal of theentire closing element 5 from theneck 3, thereby freeing the dispensingmouth 4 and permitting the use of the product inside the containingbody 2. - With particular reference to the second embodiment of the invention, shown in the
FIGS. 4-7 , before being used the bottle 1 is in the safety configuration (FIG. 5 ). - After the bottle 1 has been removed from the strip, shown in
FIG. 4 , thecap 6 is further fitted over theneck 3 by means of a pressure action and slides from the safety configuration to the work configuration, with the disengagement of the first ring-shapedtooth 20 from the ring-shapedgroove 21. - In such work configuration the
screw 23 is fitted in thenut screw 24 and a screwing-up twisting action on thecap 6 causes theperforator 7 to move closer to the dispensingmouth 4, as far as contact and breakage of the membrane 8 (FIG. 6 ). - A subsequent twisting action in the unscrewing direction on the operating key 27 permits removing the
cap 6 from theneck 3, thereby freeing the dispensingmouth 4 and permitting the use of the product inside the containing body 2 (FIG. 7 ). - During unscrewing for the removal of the
cap 6 the upper edge of the sealingcollar 18 engages on the lower surface of the second ring-shapedtooth 22, causing the breakage of the first weakenedareas 19 and the detachment of the sealingcollar 18. - The second ring-shaped
tooth 22 withholds the sealingcollar 18 around the containingbody 2 during the subsequent stages of use of the bottle 1. - It has in practice been found how the described invention achieves the proposed objects and in particular the fact is underlined that the particular conformation of the closing element and the presence of the maintaining means in the safety configuration ensures the safety requirements suitable for preventing or in any case restricting a potentially harmful use of the products contained in them.
- To open the bottle in fact, a pressure has to be exercised on the cap for the change from the safety configuration to the work configuration, something that makes such opening less immediate and thereby protects children or, in general, persons who could inappropriately use the products contained in it and which permits restricting, at the same time, the chances of accidentally opening the bottle.
- A further advantage of the invention consists in the presence of the sealing collar which provides a clear and quick indication of the bottle having been opened.
- The invention thus conceived is susceptible of numerous modifications and variations, all of which falling within the scope of the inventive concept.
- Furthermore all the details may be replaced by other elements which are technically equivalent.
- In practice, the contingent shapes and dimensions may be any according to requirements without because of this moving outside the protection scope of the following claims.
