Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a re-closable vial for containing products used in the pharmaceutical, cosmetic, medicinal or dental field, but also in the food field or the like.
  • the invention relates in particular to a vial for containing a fluid, powdery or also colloidal product, such as paste, gel or the like.
  • the vials also comprise closing means, removably associable with the vial in correspondence to the neck, to allow the occlusion of the dispensing mouth.
  • a known type of these vials envisages that the containment body and the closing means be made in a single piece and subsequently separated by the user before use.
  • the closing means are removable by tearing off from the containment body to define said dispensing mouth.
  • a vial of this type currently on the market, has, in correspondence to the dispensing mouth, an annular edge protruding towards the inside, extending transversally to the containment body, such edge centrally defining a passage to allow the product to come out.
  • the closing means of this known vial comprise a shutter element, having a truncated-cone shaped side surface and terminating in an extremity tip, on which surface is obtained an annular groove, moved away from the tip and designed to engage itself by interlocking with the above-mentioned protruding edge, following the insertion of the shutter element in the dispensing mouth. This way, a releasable blockage is produced between the closing means and the containment body.
  • the edge of the dispensing mouth To prevent the annular edge of the dispensing mouth from chipping following repeated openings and closings, in which case the vial would loose the capacity to seal-close itself, the edge must be big enough to have the necessary structural strength.
  • the dimensions of the drops, and consequently the number of doses that can be dispensed from the vial depend on the diameter of the outer perimeter of the wall of the neck lying on the plane of the dispensing mouth.
  • the main aim of the present invention is to provide a re-closable vial for the containment of a fluid, powdery or colloidal product, which can be repeatedly opened and closed without losing its seal effectiveness in closing configuration.
  • a further object of the invention is to provide a vial that, their dimensions being equal, is able to dispense a greater number of doses compared to that of the prior art.
  • Another object of the present invention is to provide a re-closable vial which allows to overcome the mentioned drawbacks of the state of the art in the ambit of a simple, rational, easy and effective to use as well as low cost solution.
  • Figure 1 is an axonometric view of a strip of vials according to the invention, after its forming and before sealing the introduction openings of the vials;
  • Figure 2 is a vertical section side view of the vial according to the invention, in an initial sealing configuration
  • Figure 3 is an enlarged detail of the view of the previous figure in which an upper part of the vial according to the invention is shown.
  • Figure 4 is a vertical section side view of an upper part of the vial according to the invention, in a closing configuration.
  • the vial 1, as already indicated, is of the re-closable type for the containment of a fluid, powdery or colloidal product, particularly a cosmetic, medicinal or pharmaceutical product.
  • the vial 1 comprises, first of all, a containment body 2 which includes a cavity 3 for containing the product 4, which containment body has an extremity with a neck 5.
  • the containment body 2 has a substantially elongated tubular shape and the neck 5 extends axially with respect to the rest of the body 2.
  • the neck 5 can be cylindrical, with a smaller transversal section than that of the rest of the body 2, and be in practice coaxially aligned with respect to the latter.
  • an opening 6 can be defined for introducing the product 4 (see Figure 2), the closing of which, e.g., by sealing the lips of the opening 6 itself, is done after the introduction of the product 4.
  • the vial 1 also comprises closing means 7 comprising in turn at least a shutter element 8, associable with the neck 5 so as to close the cavity 3 (see figure 3).
  • closing means 7 comprising in turn at least a shutter element 8, associable with the neck 5 so as to close the cavity 3 (see figure 3).
  • the containment body 2 and the shutter element 8 are obtained in a single body piece in an elastically deformable material (such as, e.g. polyethylene or polypropylene), and the shutter element 8 is removable by tearing off from the containment body 2 so as to define, in correspondence to mentioned neck 5 (preferably on top thereof), a dispensing mouth 9, communicating with the cavity 3, suitable for allowing the dispensing of the product 4.
  • the vial 1 is in an opening configuration, wherein the containment body 2 can be squeezed by the user for dispensing one or more doses of product 4 (e.g., drops in the case of liquid product).
  • product 4 e.g., drops in the case of liquid product
  • the cavity 3 of the containment body 2 of the proposed vial 1 includes a cylindrical passage 10 which originates from the dispensing mouth 9 and extends within the mentioned neck 5, the passage 10 having its own span A (see figure 3).
  • the shutter element comprises a pin 8 having an engagement portion 11 with a cylindrical side surface which defines the maximum transversal dimension B of the pin 8.
  • the invention envisages that the engagement portion 11 of the pin has a bigger transversal section B than the span A of the cylindrical passage 10 in such a way that the engagement portion 11 can be inserted within the passage 10 itself, through the dispensing mouth 9, coupling by interference with the neck 5 of the containment body 2, to define a closing configuration of the vial (shown in figure 4), wherein the dispensing mouth 9 is closed in a removable way and the vial 1 itself is re-closable at will.
  • the invention envisages the closing of the vial 1 by virtue of the interference between the pin 8 and the neck 5, obtained thanks to their shape and to the fact that they are made of elastically deformable material, it is not therefore necessary to increase the thickness of the wall of the neck 5, in its area surrounding the dispensing mouth 9, as in the prior art.
  • the dimensions e.g. of the drops of dispensed liquid product 4 are specifically determined by those of the outer perimeter of the neck (and more precisely by its diameter C, in the preferred case of round perimeter of the wall of the neck 5, shown in figure 3) identified by the plane on which lies the dispensing mouth 9, and not by the dimensions of the dispensing mouth 9.
  • wimin the pin 8 is also obtained an axial recess 12 so as to increase the elastic deformability thereof, particularly its transversal deformability.
  • the result is that not only can the vial 1 of the invention be repeatedly opened and closed without the effectiveness of the seal being lost, but it is also possible to further reduce the diameter C of the outer perimeter (in the case of round perimeter) of the wall of the neck 5, in its free extremity which lies on the plane of the dispensing mouth 9.
  • the pin 8 with increased deformability does not damage the neck 5 in correspondence to the mouth 9, even after repeated insertions and extractions.
  • the closing means 7 also comprise a flat plate-shaped element 70 having two parallel and printable flat surfaces, and shaping the shutter element 8 in correspondence to a peripheral edge 71 thereof.
  • the shutter element 8 can extend in a substantially coplanar way to the plate-shaped element 70 starting from a point along its edge 71.
  • the mentioned peripheral edge 71 of the plate-shaped element 70 can be configured so as to only be interrupted by the shutter element 8, and therefore, in practice, be made up of a surface closed in a loop which starts and ends with the shutter element 8.
  • such information can be written on one or both the above-mentioned flat and parallel surfaces of the plate-shaped element 70 by means of printing, e.g., of the inkjet type, or can be obtained (in relief or recessed) at the time of moulding the vial 1 itself (e.g., injection moulding, as already said).
  • the pin 8 also comprises a distal portion 13 which extends axially from said engagement portion 11 and which, in the sealing configuration of the vial 1 (see in particular figure 3), is joined in a single body piece to the neck 5 of the containment body 2 along a pre-breaking line so as to keep the cavity 3 closed in such configuration; the distal portion 13 is removable by tearing off from the neck 5 along the mentioned pre-breaking line so as to define the dispensing mouth 9.
  • such distal portion 13 of the pin 8 can be narrower than the engagement portion 11 and be tapered towards the free extremity 14 (or tip) of the pin 8 (preferably with a curvilinear outer profile) to make it more convenient for the user to insert the pin 8 in the dispensing mouth 9, when the vial 1 has to be closed again.
  • the pre-breaking line can be identified on the side surface of the distal portion 13 of the pin 8.
  • the pre-breaking line between the pin 8 and the neck 5 is arranged in such a way as to define, in the extremity of the neck 5, following removal by tearing off, only the edge of the dispensing mouth 9, while the outer edge of the free extremity is formed at the time of moulding the vial 1, such outer edge circumscribing the inner edge of the mouth 9 (which will have a diameter substantially the same as the span A of the cylindrical passage lO of the eck S).
  • the dimensions C and the shape of such outer edge of the extremity (free, following removal by tearing off) of the neck 5 are pre-established and remain unaltered even after the mentioned removal by tearing off, so the dimensions and the shape of the dispensed drops are prefixed and constant, considering they do not depend on the conformation of the (inner) edge and on the dimensions of the dispensing mouth 9, which are instead defined by the removal by tearing off action of the closing means 7.
  • the neck 5 of the containment body 2 also comprises a distal portion 13 which includes the dispensing mouth 9, in correspondence to its own free extremity, and which has a side wall defined between the cylindrical inner surface of the mentioned passage 10 and an opposite outer surface 15, tapered in the direction of the dispensing mouth 9.
  • the outer surface 15 of the neck 5 of the containment body therefore, has minimum transversal dimensions A in correspondence to the mentioned free extremity.
  • such tapered portion has a substantially truncated-cone shaped surface 15
  • it has a circumference in correspondence to the lesser base, which lies on the plane of the dispensing mouth 9.
  • the diameter of the outer surface 15 of the tapered portion is therefore minimum on the plane of the dispensing mouth 9, and it has a length preferably between 2.9 mm and 3.1 mm, and even more preferably equal to 3 mm so as to be able to dispense calibrated drops of product which have a volume of about 0.045 ml.
  • the mentioned cylindrical passage 10 may have a transversal section A, i.e. a span, with a diameter between 2.7 mm and 2.9 mm, and preferably equal to 3 mm.
  • the invention envisages that in correspondence to an exfelity opposite the dispensing mouth 9, the cylindrical passage 10 of the neck 5 ends up into an inner opening 16 where the cavity 3 widens with respect to the span A of the passage 10.
  • the engagement portion 11 of the pin 8 has a greater length man that of the cylindrical passage 10 of the neck 5 of the containment body 2.
  • the cavity 3 of the containment body is defined by a surface which has an annular portion 17 arranged trans versally to the above mentioned cylindrical passage 10, and on the plane of the inner opening 16, so as to define a round corner in correspondence to the inner opening 16 itself.
  • the vials of the invention are made available in a "strip", shown in figure 1 in its configuration previous to the above-mentioned closing seal of the introduction opening 6 of the vials 1.
  • the strip of vials 100 includes a plurality of vials 1, each of which comprises, on the outer surface of its containment body 2, two opposite grip tabs 18 (away from the neck of the respective vial 1), at least one of which is obtained in a single body piece with a grip tab 18 of an adjacent vial, in correspondence to a pre-breaking tearable line, so as to separate the vials of the strip 100.
