Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an upgraded container for fluid or powdered products, particularly pharmaceutical, medicinal or cosmetic products.
  • plastic or glass containers for administering a controlled dose of drugs and in general substances in drops or in powder.
  • These containers can for example feature straw-type droppers that must be coupled or screwed on to permit dispensing the product contained inside the bottles in drops.
  • outlet mouth of another type of dropper can be activated by tearing off a special cap on the exit hole.
  • the straw-type dropper besides not being particularly hygienic, requires the use of a complicated and costly system requiring auxiliary operations.
  • the tear-off dropper is not hygienic and restricts the possibility of using the bottle again, and does not permit the outflow of gauged drops, in particular because of the fringes produced by tearing off the cap when this is directly connected to the liquid outflow end.
  • Single-dose or multi-dose containers are also known, for example like those described in the European patent No. EP 228.751 Bl, comprising bottles in plastic material having a membrane diaphragm that seals the contents.
  • bottles comprise a perforating capsule, that also acts as additional protection for the outlet mouth of the still-sealed container.
  • the perforating capsule has a punch turned towards the membrane diaphragm and is associated with the body or the neck of the bottle by means of threads on the respective surfaces.
  • the perforating capsule is screwed on its axis causing the punch to drop through the outlet mouth and towards the membrane diaphragm until the latter is completely perforated.
  • the contents of the bottle can exit and therefore be dispensed.
  • the main aim of the present invention is therefore to provide an upgraded container for fluid or powdered products, which has better sterility and practicality characteristics compared to traditional bottles.
  • a further object of the present invention is to make an innovative container available that permits overcoming the mentioned drawbacks of the prior art as part of a simple, rational solution, that is easy and effective to use and of low cost.
  • the present upgraded container for fluid or powdered products comprising a hollow containment body for containing a product, a neck that extends from said hollow body and which comprises a dispensing mouth for said product, a first surface thread and at least one membrane diaphragm arranged substantially crossways to said neck near to said mouth, closing means that can be screwed on said neck and having a second thread associable removable with said first thread and a perforating element suitable for perforating said membrane diaphragm during said screwing operation, characterized in that said membrane diaphragm comprises at least one weakened portion suitable for favouring the perforation.
  • the figure 1 is an axonometric view of a plurality of containers according to the invention
  • the figure 2 is a partial section view of a pair of containers according to the invention
  • the figure 3 is an exploded view of a plurality of containers according to the invention
  • the figure 4 is a section view of a detail of a container according to the invention
  • the figure 5 is a perspective view of a portion of the container according to the invention
  • the figure 6 is a view from the top of a possible embodiment of a membrane diaphragm of a container according to the invention
  • the figure 7 is a view from the top of an alternative embodiment of a membrane diaphragm of a container according to the invention.
  • the container 1 is composed of a hollow containment body 2 for containing liquid or powdered products, especially pharmaceutical, medicinal or cosmetic products, of a neck 3 that extends from said hollow body, and of closing means
  • the neck 3 which is also hollow to define a continuous space contiguous with the cavity of the hollow body 2, comprises a dispensing mouth 5 for controlled product exit.
  • the dispensing mouth 5 can be shaped like a truncated cone to allow the formation of gauged drops, and therefore of homogenous dimensions, every time it is necessary to precisely dose the quantity of liquid product to be applied.
  • the neck 3 has a first surface thread 6 to allow the association of the closing means 4.
  • the neck 3 comprises a membrane diaphragm 7 which is arranged substantially crossways with respect to the direction of the length of the neck 3 and, therefore, to the sliding direction of the product from the hollow body 2 to the dispensing mouth 5.
  • the membrane diaphragm 7 is usefully arranged upstream of said dispensing mouth 5 with respect to the exit direction of the product from the container 1.
  • the membrane diaphragm 7 is an occlusion suitable for stopping the unwanted outflow of the product and, at the same time, for creating a barrier against the entry of foreign bodies and micro-organisms inside the container 1.
  • the closing means 4 are composed of a capsule that can be screwed onto the neck 3 arid comprise a second thread 8 associated removable with the first thread 6 and a perforating element 9 suitable for perforating the membrane diaphragm 7 during the screwing of the closing means on the neck 3.
  • the perforating element 9 is made up of a pointed protuberance that extends perpendicular with respect to the diaphragm 7.
  • the mutual coupling of the first thread 6 and the second thread 8 causes a gradual lowering of the perforating element 9 towards the membrane diaphragm 7, until this is perforated.
  • the membrane diaphragm 7 has a weakened portion 10 suitable for favouring its perforation by the perforating element 9.
  • the weakened portion 10 is composed of one or more weakened lines 10a obtained on both the opposite sides of the membrane diaphragm 7.
  • the weakened lines 10a are made up of grooves that cause a reduction in the thickness of the membrane diaphragm 7 and, therefore, its weakening with respect to the mechanical stress exercised by the perforating element 9. The grooves therefore delineate the preferential breaking ways of the membrane diaphragm 7. Nevertheless, it cannot be ruled out that the weakened lines be realised on just one of the sides of the membrane diaphragm 7.
  • the weakened lines 10a can be made in various forms, such as, for example, cross-shaped or straight (figures 6 and 7).
  • the body 2 is associated to first connecting fins 11 for connecting in series with other adjacent container bodies, creating a series of containers 1 that are easy to transport and use.
  • the closing means 4 are associated to respective second connecting fins for connecting with other adjacent closing means.
  • the container according to the invention can be easily opened, and if necessary closed again, without jeopardising the sterility of the contained product, and at the same time guaranteeing a dispensing in drops of homogenous size.
  • the weakening caused by the lines on the diaphragm results in less effort being needed to screw up or in any case to open, an important feature this if we consider disabled users or users with special requirements such as elderly people, sick people, pre and post-operation hospitalised patients.
  • the presence of the lines prevents the membrane diaphragm tearing or breaking up with the possible fall of fragments of non-sterile material inside the container body and, consequently, in contact with the product, because the opening of the diaphragm occurs in a controlled way.
