Definitions

  • the invention relates to a quality seal for closures of at least two nozzle-shaped connections of a container.
  • An originality seal for closures of nozzle-like connections of a container is characterized in that the entire container, including the nozzle-shaped connections with their closures in a plastic film packaging is welded. The packaging can then be evacuated.
  • the outer packaging serves as a seal of originality for the closures of the nozzle-like connections and, on the other hand, the outer packaging is intended to reduce the evaporation of the liquid content of, for example, a container designed as an infusion solution bag.
  • plastics for infusion solution bags for example of polypropylene plastic, which have almost 100% waterproofness, so that complete outer packaging does not appear to be absolutely necessary and is associated with high material loss and thus high costs.
  • tamper-evident closures are known for nozzle-like openings of containers, for example from the DE-A-196 22 689 , In each case a tamper-evident closure is formed for each opening of the nozzle-like connections, which, however, are structurally complex.
  • the present invention has the object, a tamper-evident seal for closures of nozzle-like connections of a container in such a way that it is easy to install with little use of material and provides a secure seal.
  • the object is achieved in that the tamper-evident sealing as a ends of the connections connecting and the closures enclosing band-shaped shrink film is formed.
  • the band-shaped shrink film is formed as a shrink tube section.
  • shrinkage tube sections are cut off from a shrink tubing roll, then slipped over the ends of the nozzle-shaped connections having the closures and subsequently heat-treated, so that these encloses the closures in a form-fitting manner.
  • this is provided in the longitudinal direction with a predetermined breaking point such as perforation, which is easily torn open.
  • an optical marking can be applied in order to easily recognize the perforation in the longitudinal direction.
  • the shrink tube section is made of a transparent plastic.
  • a further preferred embodiment is characterized in that the nozzle-like connections have the same lengths, wherein the closures attached to the end of the closures lie in a sealed position against each other and lock each other. Unintentional opening of the closures is thus excluded.
  • closures are provided on the edge side with longitudinal grooves, around which the shrinking tube section adapts, so that insofar as the shrinking tube section is also an anti-rotation device.
  • a further preferred embodiment is characterized in that the nozzle-shaped connections are designed as flexible line ends and that the closures can be brought into contact with each other.
  • the closure is designed as a Luer lock closure.
  • the single FIGURE shows a tamper-evident seal 10 for each with a closure 12, 14 nozzle-shaped connections 16, 18 of a container 20 as infusion solution bag.
  • the container 20 comprises a flexible container defining an interior and upper and lower heat-sealing or welding sections 22, 24.
  • a suspension opening 26 is formed in the upper welding section 24.
  • the closures 12, 24 having ends 28, 30 of the terminals 16, 18 are connected to each other via the shrink-wrapped tamper-evident seal 10.
  • the shrink film 10 is formed as a shrink tube section, which is placed over the closures 12, 14 and then heat treated. By the heat treatment, the shrink tube section 10 contracts, with the result that a seal is made.
  • a perforation 32 is formed in the longitudinal direction, along which the tamper-evident seal 10 can be provided.
  • closures 12, 14 are provided with grooves 34, 36 which engage in one another in the sealed state, so that to that extent unintentional opening of the closures 12, 14, which are preferably designed as Luer-lock closure, is prevented.
