Definitions

  • the invention relates to a freeze-drying stopper made of rubber-elastic material, consisting of a spigot intended for insertion into the container neck to be sealed and a flange which is formed integrally with the spigot and protrudes radially above said essentially circular disk, the longitudinal axis of which flange coincides with that of the spigot, which spigot contains a cavity surrounding the pin longitudinal axis, which is open to the free pin end face and extends to a central closed wall part of the flange, the pin containing a first portion of its axial length, which extends radially between one of the pins and the pin extends outwardly projecting boundary surface of the flange and a second transverse plane perpendicular to the pin longitudinal axis and has a closed outer circumferential surface, the maximum diameter of which is slightly larger than the inside diameter of the container neck and adjusts itself contains the second section adjoining the second section, the outer envelope surface of which has essentially the same diameter as the first section and which contains at
  • freeze-drying stopper of this type the spigot is designed over practically its entire length as an essentially tubular body with an almost constant wall thickness, i. H. the laterally delimiting inner wall surface of its central cavity is approximately a cylindrical surface.
  • freeze-drying stoppers in which only the first section of the axial length of the journal adjacent to the flange has the shape of a tubular body, a plurality of pins projecting from one another at the end of this body, the axes of which are parallel to the journal. Longitudinal axis are directed, the diameter of which approximately corresponds to the wall thickness of the body and from each of which protrudes a retractable or disengageable by bending the pin locking element.
  • Frozen food (in particular a medicament), which is contained in a container and is sealed with one of the plugs explained above, is usually removed by piercing the flange of the plug with a cannula and introducing liquid into the container and the solution or suspension with the stopper held down with the cannula. If the cannula is not positioned exactly in the center of the flange and practically parallel to the longitudinal axis of the plug pushed in, there is a risk that the cannula tip hits the inner side wall surface, which can clog the cannula or punch out particles from the material of the pin. It is also disadvantageous that, of the known plugs, a considerable residual volume of solution or suspension that cannot be removed with the cannula remains in the container.
  • the object of the invention is to develop a freeze-drying stopper of the type mentioned in such a way that the possibility of the cannula tip hitting the lateral inner wall surface is greatly reduced or less care is required when puncturing the cannula and that other requirements are also met to a freeze-drying stopper, in particular with regard to low residual volume, inexpensive manufacture, adequate tightness and easy handling in the course of the freeze-drying process.
  • the inner wall surface laterally delimiting the cavity lies completely outside a cone, the axis of which is the longitudinal axis of the pin, the tip of which lies in the first plane and the tip angle in degrees is greater than one according to the formula -39 + 75 x lg (D) is calculated value, where in the formula "lg” means the decimal logarithm and "D" the maximum diameter of the first section of the pin measured in millimeters.
  • the inner wall surface of the central wall part of the flange, which axially delimits the cavity is essentially flat in a surface area surrounding the longitudinal axis of the journal, and this area lies in a transverse plane perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the journal, which is close to the first Transverse plane runs, the inner wall surface laterally delimiting the cavity starting from the surface area surrounding the longitudinal axis of the pin and increasing in diameter as the free end face of the pin approaches.
  • the area of the outer surface of the central wall part of the flange which surrounds the longitudinal axis of the plug is advantageously delimited from the remaining peripheral surface area by a circular arrangement of projections which is concentric with the longitudinal axis of the plug, thereby marking the puncture site for the cannula and in connection with the design according to the invention the inner wall surface of the pin an even greater safety in handling is achieved.
  • the freeze-drying stopper is shown in FIGS. 1 to 4 in a magnification of approximately 5 times. It consists of rubber and contains a pin 1 intended for insertion into the container neck to be closed and a flange 2 formed therewith in one piece.
  • the pin 1 has, in addition to its special design which will be explained in the following, in principle the shape of a hollow cylinder which delimits a cavity 4 which is open to the free pin end face 3.
  • the flange 2 has an edge 2a projecting laterally beyond the pin 1, on which a lower edge extends radially outward from the pin kende plane annular boundary surface 5 is formed.
  • This boundary surface lies in a first transverse plane Q 1 penetrated perpendicularly by the longitudinal axis A of the pin, is intended for bearing against the end face of the neck of the container and limits the insertion depth of the pin in its closed position.
  • the closed central wall part 2b of the flange 2 delimits the cavity 4 axially with an inner wall surface 6 which is flat in a surface area surrounding the journal longitudinal axis A and lies in a transverse plane P which runs at a short distance from the first transverse plane Q 1.
  • the outer surface 7 of the flange 2 facing away from the peg 1 has two projections 8 each running approximately semicircularly, the diameter of which is small with respect to the outer diameter of the flange and which mark a surface area surrounding the longitudinal axis A of the pin intended for the puncture of a withdrawal cannula. From the surface area of the outer surface 7 surrounding the projections 8, further projections 9 extend radially to the longitudinal axis A of the pin and at equal angular intervals, which prevent freeze-drying stoppers lying against one another with their outer surfaces from adhering to one another or to other objects and thereby hinder their processing.
  • the pin 1 In a first section Z1 of its axial length, which is located between the first transverse plane Q1 and a perpendicular to the longitudinal axis A, the pin length in a rough approximation centrally dividing second transverse plane Q2, the pin 1 is of full-walled design, ie it has a closed outer upper peripheral surface 10a.
  • This peripheral surface is adjacent to the first transverse plane Q 1 narrow and flat annular recess 10 'and an adjoining, axially longer cylindrical surface is formed, the latter having a diameter D which is slightly larger than the inner diameter of the neck of the container and rests sealingly against the container neck when the plug is fully inserted under elastic prestress.
  • a second section Z2 of the axial length of the pin 1, which extends from the second transverse plane Q2 to the free pin end face 3, has an outer cylindrical envelope surface 10b, which has essentially the same diameter D as the upper peripheral surface 10a.
  • the passage 11 has the shape of a slot and contains two side surfaces 12a, 12b, which are substantially flat, run almost parallel to the longitudinal axis A of the pin, widen from the cavity 4 to the mouth 13 and have a mutual mean distance which is approximately the middle Corresponds to the diameter of the cavity.
  • a first inner part 12c bottom surface of the passage 11 lies in a plane parallel to the second transverse plane Q2 and in this respect offset by a small distance to the end face 3 of the pin.
  • the inner part 12c is followed by an outer part 12d of the bottom surface shaped in the form of a sector of a truncated cone, which passes into the peripheral surface 10b with an edge which forms part of the mouth 13 and is located in the second transverse plane Q2.
  • the axially outer (ie adjacent to the pin face) 15 all lie on a common third transverse plane Q3, which is perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the pin A runs and is located approximately in the middle between the second transverse plane Q2 and the pin end face 3.
  • cams 14a-14c When the pin 1 is inserted into the container neck, these cams 14a-14c cause an inhibition by the abutment of their delimitations 15 on the end face of the container neck and define a first position of the stopper in which it is already non-positively connected by elastic deformation of the pin part adjacent to the end face of the pin is held in the neck of the container, but the inside of the container is still open to the environment via the passage 11. Vapors and gases can therefore escape from the material contained in the container during freeze drying to and around the container.
  • the cams 14a-14c are pushed back by increased application of force to the plug, the cams themselves and the material of the pin 1 surrounding them being deformed.
  • the pin can then be inserted into the container neck up to a second position (closed position), which is defined by contact of the boundary surface 5 of the flange 2 on the end face of the container neck and in which the first section Z 1 of the pin equipped with the closed upper peripheral surface 10 a a complete seal of the container neck causes.
  • the cams 14a-14c each have the shape of semi-circular elongated beads in cross-section, which extend in the circumferential direction of the pin 1, their length in this direction in each case being at least 2.5 times their axial extension.
  • a first cam 14a is arranged diametrically opposite the passage (slot) 11, such that its center lies in a first longitudinal plane L1, which contains the longitudinal axis A of the pin and passes through the middle between the side surfaces 12a, 12b of the passage 11.
  • the centers of the other two cams 14b, 14c are defined by a second longitudinal plane L2 or third longitudinal plane L3, which contain the pin longitudinal axis A containing on different sides of the first longitudinal plane L1 and with this each have the same angle ⁇ 2 or ⁇ 3 of Include approx. 110 ° (old degree).
  • a groove 16 is arranged such that its inner (i.e. adjacent to the flange 2) side wall lies in the third transverse plane Q3.
  • the groove 16 is followed by a peripheral surface 17 of the pin 1, the diameter of which is slightly larger than the diameter of the peripheral surface from which the cams 14a-14c project.
  • the peripheral surface closes via one of the easier insertion of the pin 1 into the container neck conical surface 18 on the pin end face.
