Definitions

  • the invention relates to a blister-pack with a frame consisting of plane material with a window-like cut-out,and at least two lateral support sections at an angle to the outer periphery of the frame, to which a plastic foil is applied in the window in the form of a trough.
  • Blister-packs of the type mentioned above are known from DE-GM 76 37 448. Their production consists of laying the frame, usually a corrugated cardboard blank, with the window over a positive mould, then laying a heated foil on the projections of the mould and the cardboard blank. By means of partial vacuum it is sucked close to the projections and the surface of the cardboard, and in doing so it forms a skin on the surface of the cardboard, and finally after mould release the embossed foil is pressed through the window to form the foil trough.
  • Blister-packs serve for the transportation and storage of packaged goods which are sensitive to impact and easily breakable.
  • the blister-pack carrying the packaged goods is either enclosed in a despatch carton or two blister-packs surround the packaged goods and form in themselves the packing for transport when suitably fixed by a band.
  • the foil forms a skin over the entire cardboard blank, including the lateral support sections.
  • the known blister-packs thus involve a higher foil consumption than would be required to take the packaged goods.
  • the mould release is made so much more difficult that in practice after the foils have formed the skin the blister-packs are released from the moulds by hand with a knife.
  • the use of mechanical cutters is possible; yet here too, a considerable waste of foil cannot be avoided.
  • the Invention is based on the problem of producing a blister-pack of the type mentioned above in which the foil consumption is considerably reduced whilst maintaining an adequate adhesion and without considerably influencing the tearing strength at the inner edges of the window.
  • the foil covers only the part of the frame as far as the points of junction or folding lines of the lateral support sections, or possibly one millimetre beyond. As compared with the known blister-packs this represents a considerable saving in foil, for example 50 per cent or more. Packaging using the blister-packs according to the Invention can then be even cheaper than the cheapest known packages on the basis of rigid foam substances, which suffer from special problems of space requirements and their destruction after use. Furthermore as a result of the restricted amount of foil covering no mould release problems occur when producing the blister-packs according to the invention.
  • the foil By means of heat sealing the foil is firmly joined to the plane material, which facilitates both a good adhesion to the plane material and also the avoidance of an adverse effect on the tearing strength at the inner edges of the window.
  • the production of the blister-packs according to the Invention can for example take place by pushing the frames on to upright sets of moulds in thermoforming machines, so that the lateral support sections are located in a vertical arrangement inside the set of moulds and are not sealed, or else one inserts the frames in line into individual moulds which are simultaneously sealed to the foil and separated by a hot sealing plate, so that a deep-drawing process takes place by means of contact heating and compressed air shaping in one working cycle, similar to what happens in the usual automatic deep-drawing machines for compound foil shaping in the foodstuffs industry. A particularly suitable process will be described later on.
  • Solid cardboard, corrugated cardboard or even laminated sealable plastic resembling corrugated cardboard can be used for the plane material for the frame, but corrugated cardboard is preferred.
  • the plastics foil, ie sheets or films used in the present invention are preferably transparent sheets suitable for deep-drawing especially polyethylene laminated foils, which are coated on the inner side, ie the one which comes into contact with the plane material, with an adhesion layer, eg of an ethylene polymer eg, an ethylene/vinyl acetate co-polymer or an ethylene/acrylic acid/acrylate ester terpolymer.
  • an adhesion layer eg of an ethylene polymer eg, an ethylene/vinyl acetate co-polymer or an ethylene/acrylic acid/acrylate ester terpolymer.
  • the plane material in thesealing area first of all with polyethylene or an ethylene/vinyl acetate co-polymer dispersion or an ionomer resin dispersion, and then apply by means of hot sealing and simultaneous deep-drawing a normal polyethylene foil, ethylene/vinyl acetate co-polymer foil or ionomeric foil.
  • the ionomers in question are pseudo-crosslinked, thermoplastic, transparent plastics, chiefly co-polymer of ethylene with monomers containing carboxyl groups.
  • the plane material can be coated in the sealing area first of all with a coating containing polyvinylchloride, which makes possible the use of PVC foils.
  • laminated foils of three or more layers are used, in which the outer layer consists of a polyamide or polyester and the inner layer consists of plastic which can be sealed with the plane material, for example the abovementioned ethylene/vinyl acetate co-polymers.ethylene/acrylic acid/acrylate ester terpolym or ionomer resins.
  • the outer layer consists of a polyamide or polyester
  • the inner layer consists of plastic which can be sealed with the plane material, for example the abovementioned ethylene/vinyl acetate co-polymers.ethylene/acrylic acid/acrylate ester terpolym or ionomer resins.
  • Packaging with the blister-packs according to the Invention is done either by inverting a blister-pack over the goods to be packaged, which are prepared in a despatch box on anti-crush pad, or else by using two blister-packs which may be surrounded by a packing carton, in which case preferably care should be taken to see that both blister-packs are given a certain amount of pre-tensioning.
  • the blister-packs of the Invention possess at least two lateral supporting sections.
  • the strength of the blister-pack when assembled is thus, it is true, not optimum, but is adequate for some purposes, especially if the blister-packs are used in conjunction with packing cartons. Possibly parts of the packing carton, especially flaps, could take over support functions as well. Without the use of a packing carton a considerably greater strength can be attained by means of lateral support sections on all four sides of the frame.
  • the height of the supporting sections is at least as great as the depth of the foil troughs.
  • the dimensions and shape of the frame and also the shape . of the window are not subject in principle to any special restrictions. On the grounds of economising on material one selects the frame to be only as wide as is absolutely necessary, but one should not go below a certain minimum width for reasons of breaking strength and foil adhesion.
  • the shapes of the window and the trough are chosen to suit the dimensions of the goods to be packaged and the type of pack (one or two blister-packs, with or without packing carton).
  • the blister-pack according to the Invention has a window-like cut-out which is larger than the packed goods to be accommodated or larger than the part of the packed goods to be accommodated.
  • the blister-packs In the packs formed from two blister-packs known from DE-GM 76 37 448, the blister-packs have windows of the size of the part of the packed goods lying in them. Whilst the packed goods are not meant to come in contact with the outer walls of the packing carton, the edges of the packed goods are to be partially retained by the window cut-outs in the plane material and to this end it is further provided that bent-over parts of the cardboard blanks located on the lateral support sections rest against the packed goods.
  • the window-type cut-out is larger than the packed product to be enclosed or is larger than the part of the packed product to be enclosed.
  • the lateral parts of the foil trough in the blister pack containing the packed product do not run parallel to the external surfaces of the packed product lying there, but run outwards from the edges of the packed product surfaces located on the bottom of the foil trough.
  • the top limit is determined by economic considerations, which would render angles of more than 70° of no interest. Generally speaking the angle is from 20 to 60 0 , preferably 30 to 50°, an angle of about 45 0 giving particularly good results in many cases. In most cases only a small depth of the foil trough is necessary , since it has only to be large enough to ensure that the packed product is fixed, e.g..between two blister-packs.
  • Production of the foil trough as shown can be achieved in an advantageous manner by using a mould which is obtained by means of forming a suitably dimensioned piece of foil over the packed product in the state suitable for deep-drawing, by means of a draw frame, the window of the draw frame being adapted to the desired window of the subsequent blister-pack, that is to say, the window of the draw frame preferably possesses approximately the same dimensions as the window of the subsequent blister-pack.
  • a suitable mould is obtained from the foil cast, e.g. by plaster-casting.
  • the window of the draw-frame is chosen somewhat smaller for the production of the mould. This is described below.
  • the design of the blister-pack in such a manner that on the blister-pack containing the packed product the inner edges of the frame window do not come into contact at any point with the packed product can be achieved in yet another advantageous model, however, by letting the blister-pack have a foil border running round the inner edges of the window which projects over the frame. As a result of the foil border one achieves a better strength distribution and thus a spring effect if the pack falls.
  • This foil border is obtained by designing the mould used in such a way that the upper edge of the mould has a greater width than the frame of the blister-pack. But one can also produce the foil border in such a manner that one keeps a correspondingly dimensioned strip free from heat contact inside the window during the heat-sealing process, e.g. by means of a groove in the heating plate used for sealing.
  • blister-packs which possess both a foil border projecting inwards and trough side walls deviating inwards from the perpendicular.
  • a mould is used obtained as a result of excess pressure of a foil sheet in a condition suitable for deep-drawing, by means of a tensioning frame over the packed product and casting of the foil mould so obtained with a moulding compound, the dimensions of the tensioning frame window, however, being somewhat smaller as compared with the window of the subsequent blister-pack, namely are reduced by the width of the foil border.
  • the blister-pack according to the invention possesses four lateral supporting sections, two adjoining sections being joined to each other in each case, and a crease running diagonally over the frame which in each case continues in the narrow support sections in such a way that the creases between frame and narrow support sections form the angle bisectors for the angles enclosed by the creases.
  • the blank used for the production of the blister-pack according to the Invention is stored in the collapsed condition (diagonally folded) and erected by positive action by the application of slight lateral pressure before the foil is applied.
  • the finished blister-packs are then collapsed diagonally again, stored flat and despatched, and when used are again erected by positive action by a slight lateral pressure.
  • the blister-pack of the Invention possesses four lateral support sections joined to one another, creases running centrally along the narrow lateral support sections and parallel to the connecting edges of the support sections, which creases continue in the frame, and creases or slots running from the outer edges of the window diagonally to the inner edges of the window.
  • flaps are located at least on the narrow support sections, in which the creases of the narrow support sections continue.
  • the advantage of these designs consists in the fact that by means of a light pressure on the centre of the narrow lateral support sections the blister-pack can be collapsed, which results in the erection of the frame and possibly of the flaps, the narrow lateral support sections are folded inwards over the creases and the broad lateral support sections come to lie on top of each other.
  • the abovementioned blister-pack possesses four flaps hinged to the lateral support sections which together form a base.
  • one packaging unit can be formed from two blister-packs which, once the bases have been closed in a known manner and a strap has been applied, does not necessarily require an additional box for despatch.
  • the blister-pack frames can rest against each other, so that the packed product is surrounded by foil on all sides.
  • the blister-packs are placed under a slight pre-tension, which can be done by dimensioning the despatch carton accordingly or using a strap. If the despatch carton is one involving a pull-over sheath or is a slide-on or banded box, this type of packing is particularly economic on material.
  • the blister-pack according to the Invention possesses four lateral support sections joined to each other and of trapezoidal cut broadening towards the frame side, creases running centrally in the narrow lateral support sections and more or leas parallel to the connecting edges of the lateral support sections, which creases continue in the frame, triangular peaks located and the four corners of the frame and projecting upwards, and creases or slots running diagonally along the frame.
  • two blister-packs having two lateral support sections in each case on two sides only. preferably the long sides, are combined with a despatch carton with in each case four base and cover flaps, two base and two cover flaps being turned inwards and thus forming the two missing lateral support sections for the blister-packs.
  • the flaps of the despatch carton which are to be turned inwards on the side edges to be reduced by the thickness of the material, so that a snug fit of the blister-packs is ensured.
  • the reduction in material thickness does not extend over the entire flap , but towards the outer edge a lip-type projection is obtained.
  • the blister-pack after the packed product has been accommodated is top-sealed by a foil.
  • This packing is suitable for goods sensitive to moisture and gas, e.g. to the effects of oxygen, and also for display packs, and in the case of packed products sensitive to impact or liable to break if dropped a padding, e.g. a compression pad, can be arranged between the packed product and the covering foil which does not appreciably affect the view.
  • a padding e.g. a compression pad
  • a moisture-proof pack consists of two blister-packs with the trough apertures sealed to each other, a closure being welded in at a suitable point, this being facilitated preferably by the appropriate design of the blister-packs.
  • the invention also relates to a process for the production of a blister-pack, which is characterised by the fact that in one working cycle a plastic foil is sealed on to the frame of a blank made of plane material, applying pressure and heat by means of contact heating, the temperature of which is above the sealing temperature of the foil, it is rendered deformable and brought into a mould corresponding to the subsequent foil trough for the blister-pack.
  • This process may be performed by inverting the blank over a trough mould with dimensions adapted to the internal measurements of the assembled blank, in such a way that the frame lies with the punched-out window uppermost.
  • a sheet of foil is then laid on the blank which is adapted to the outside measurements of the frame. If one uses a folding box-type blank, in which the window frame is formed by folding over flaps which correspond to the cover flaps but are shortened to form the window, then the fourflaps folded inwards at rightangles lie uppermost. These flaps forming the frame are subsequently covered over by the foil.
  • the mould with the blank thus assembled together with the section of foil applied is then subjected to the contact heating, which can for example be a hot sealing plate provided on the contact side with apertures.
  • the dimensions of the contact heating device are equivalent at least to the outside dimensions of the frame.
  • the temperature of the contact heating device is above that of the sealing and deformation of the foil.
  • This contact heating device is applied with a high pressure on the upper side of the mould accommodating the blank and the foil and during the sealing of the foil to the blank at the same time effects a hermetic seal.
  • the heating plate is equipped with an anti-stick layer, for example made of polytetrafluorethylene or silicon rubber which prevents the foil from adhering.
  • the deformability of the foil is brought about by pressing it by means of compressed air to the contact heating device.
  • compressed air is blown into the mould from below and by means of this the foil is pressed to the contact heating device for just as long as it takes to reach the temperature of deformation.
  • the foil-shaping is produced by pressing the foil to the mould by means of compressed air.
  • compressed air for example, one proceeds, after removing the air from the mould, to press the foil into the mould by means of compressed air, which is blown in through the heating plate, and in the mould the foil cools and thus becomes stable in shape.
  • this version of the process one gets a draping action through blowing.
  • the process of the Invention can also make use of subratmospheric pressure, or the two processes can be combined.
  • this vacuum process instead of blowing the compressed air, a vacuum is applied at the opposite point. Thus one gets a draping action through suction.
  • the foil can first be sucked on to the contact heating device and then blown into the mould.
  • this is an advantage. Then only de-aerated moulds need pass through a shaping device of this type, and connections which work through the mould are not required.
  • the process of the Invention is executed in such a way that when shaping the foil one leaves a foil border which runs round the inside edges of the window projecting over the frame.
  • This foil border runs approximately flush with the frame and is preferably continuous.
  • This foil border can be obtained by the design of the mould, by dimensioning the upper edge of the mould wider than the frame of the blank or subsequent blister-pack. But one can also produce the foil border in such a way that one leaves an appropriately dimensioned strip on the inside edges of the window free from heat impact from the contact heating device, e.g. by means of a suitable groove in the hot-plate of the contact heating device.
  • ridge-shaped foil sections when shaping the foil one leaves ridge-shaped foil sections.
  • blister-packs with several separate troughs which are separated not by ridges made of the frame material but made from the foil.
  • the ridges can be produced, like the foil border, either by an appropriate design of the mould, or by keeping the ridge area free from heat impact from the contact heating device, e.g. by means of a suitable groove in the said device.
  • the mould used for the process of the Invention is preferably produced so that one presses a sheet of foil in a condition suitable for deep-drawing by means of a tensioning or draw-frame over the goods intended for packaging, the window of the draw-frame being adapted to fit the desired window of the subsequent blister-pack, that is to say the window of the draw-frame possesses approximately the same or somewhat smaller dimensions - namely reduced by the width of the foil border - than those of the subsequent blister-pack.
  • a suitable mould is produced from the form-stable foil casting, for example by plaster-casting.
  • the invention also relates to a process for the production of a pack which is characterised by the fact that one inverts a blister-pack according to the Invention over the packed product located in the lower part of a carton on a base, e.g. on a compression pad, with the frame downwards, and one then causes the arrangement to pass through a radiation heating device. When this is done the foil is heated accordingly and shrinks to the packed product, so that a good fixing of the packed product is achieved.
  • the blister-packs employed are preferably produced using a normal heat-shrinking foil.
  • this is not absolutely necessary, since when producing the blister-packs by developing the foil trough according to the vacuum or blowing shaping process a stretching takes place anyway, which imparts shrinkage properties to the foil.
  • the advantage of this process lies in the fact that even with differently shaped packed products, using a blister-pack of unchanged dimensions a contoured packaging unit can still be obtained; the only pre-requisite is that the trough of the blister-pack, even in the vertical direction, should be somewhat larger than the packed product.
  • a padded lid can then if necessary be laid on top of it.
  • the blister-pack shown in Figures 1 and 2 consists of the surrounding frame 2 with two lateral support sections 3, the corrugated cardboard blank, and the foil 4, which is joined to the frame as far as the point of junction of the lateral support sections 3 by means of hot-sealing.
  • the foil is a polyethylene/ ethylene vinyl acetate co-polymerisate transparent laminar foil, which is sealed with the ethylene vinyl acetate co-polymer- side to the frame..
  • the window 5 of the blister-pack is larger than the packed product accommodated, the lower part of a loudspeaker unit 6.
  • a second blister-pack (not shown) is inverted over the top end of the loudspeaker unit 6, with its lateral support sections facing upwards.
  • the entire arrangement is held together with slight pre-tensioning by a despatch carton (not shown).
  • a despatch carton (not shown).
  • the lateral parts 8 of the foil trough do not run parallel to the outer surfaces 9 of the packed product accommodated therein, but run from the edges 10 of the surface of the packed product lying on the floor of the foil trough outwards, so that the lateral parts 8 have an angle of inclination of 45° to the perpendicular in relation to the plane of the frame.
  • the blister-pack has a foil border 11 running round the inside edges 7 of the window and projecting over the frame 2, which border, regardless of the material thickness of the frame 2, runs flush with the frame.
  • the packed product 6 is the loudspeaker unit of Fig. 1, and here the side surfaces 9 of the unit can lie against the side surfaces 8 of the foil trough, as the foil border 11 takes care of the safety margin between it and the inside edges 7 of the window of the blister-pack. Furthermore by means of the foil border 11 one achieves a better strength distribution and hence sprung action if the pack is dropped.
  • a second blister-pack (not shown) is located, the lateral support sections of which face upwards. The entire arrangement is held under pre-tension by a despatch carton (not shown).
