Definitions
- Support structure for simultaneously holding a plurality of containers for substances for medical, pharmaceutical or cosmetic applications as well as transport or packaging containers with self
- the present invention relates generally to the simultaneous mounting of a plurality of containers for storing substances for medical, pharmaceutical or cosmetic applications, in particular of vials, and more particularly concerns the simultaneous mounting of a plurality of such containers in a support structure in a simple and reliable manner such that, while they are held in a holding structure provided for this, they can be processed or further processed in filling or processing plants, in particular in a sterile tunnel, a filling plant for liquid medical or pharmaceutical applications or a freeze-drying cabinet for this purpose. Furthermore, the present invention relates to a transport and / or packaging container with at least one such support structure and optionally with an integrated sensor and / or plagiarism protection. Background of the invention
- medicine containers such as vials, ampoules or carpules are widely used. These generally have a cylindrical shape, can be made of plastics or glass and are available in large quantities at low cost.
- concepts are increasingly used in which the containers are packaged sterile sterile at the manufacturer of containers in transport and packaging containers, which then at a pharmaceutical company under sterile conditions, especially in a so-called. Sterile tunnel , unpacked and then processed further.
- Transport and packaging containers are known from the prior art, in which at the same time a plurality of drug containers in a regular arrangement, for example, in a matrix array along rows and at right angles to extending columns, are arranged.
- This has advantages in the automated further processing of the containers, since the containers can be transferred to processing stations in controlled positions and in a predetermined arrangement, for example to process machines, robots or the like.
- holding structures are used, in which at the same time a plurality of containers can be held in a predetermined regular arrangement. To transfer to a processing station just needs the transport and packaging container to be properly positioned and opened. The downstream processing station then knows in which position and arrangement the containers to be further processed are arranged.
- US 8,100,263 B2 discloses a sterile packable and transportable transport and packaging container in which a plate-shaped support structure can be used, in which a plurality of drug containers are held in a regular arrangement.
- the individual medication containers are initially arranged loosely in receptacles which are formed in the holding structure.
- the support structure is inserted into the transport and packaging container and this surrounded with a gas-impermeable plastic tube.
- the plastic tube is forced into the intermediate spaces between the medicament containers due to the negative pressure prevailing in the tube, which on the one hand stabilizes the position of the medicament container in the holding structure and, on the other hand, prevents further uncontrolled collision of adjacent medicament containers.
- the drug container When evacuating and the subsequent opening of the plastic tube, however, the drug container can slip sideways, which increases the automation effort for further processing of the drug container. Furthermore, the drug container after opening the plastic tube can still collide uncontrollably, which brings the aforementioned disadvantages.
- the medication containers can not be further processed in the transport or packaging container or in the holding structure, but must first be separated in the conventional manner and transferred to downstream processing stations.
- the vial in which elastic retaining tongues are fixed against the narrowed neck section at the upper end of the Press the vial to frictionally fix the vials.
- the holding structure is thus only very limited suitable for vials with high tolerances or other outside diameters.
- the vials in the support structure can not be held tension-free, which can lead to an undesirable bulging of the support structure, in particular during processing, for example in a freeze-drying cabinet.
- the vials can not be inserted from above into the openings of the support structure.
- the outer diameter of the vials is used, as it were, as an auxiliary contour for fixing the vials to the holding structure.
- Such support structures are therefore not flexible enough for vials with larger tolerances and / or other outer diameters used.
- Object of the present invention is to develop a holding structure for simultaneously holding a plurality of containers for cosmetic, medical or pharmaceutical applications, in particular of glass or plastic vials to the effect that the container kept simple and reliable and cost-sterile packaged, unpacked and further processed can be.
- a support structure should be designed in particular for further processing of the containers while they are being held in the support structure.
- a holding structure for simultaneously holding a plurality of containers for cosmetic, medical or pharmaceutical applications, in particular of glass or plastic vials to be further developed such that Process or processing stations, such as a freeze dryer, can be loaded and unloaded more easily and reliably with holding structures.
- a corresponding transport and packaging container should also be provided with at least one such holding structure.
- At least two retaining tongues are provided on the support, which is preferably flat, in particular rectangular, as holding means, which are provided at the edge of a respective opening or receptacle and protrude from an upper side of the support to the respective container in the opening or receiving hold.
- the retaining tongues according to the invention are designed so that they are elastically pivoted or folded away during insertion of the container into the openings or receptacles, and are further tuned to the container, that they are held with radial play by the retaining tongues.
- the radial clearance allows containers with different radial tolerances and / or outer dimensions to be held reliably by the same support structure.
- the radial clearance is expediently designed and matched to the outer contour and dimension of the container, that never at the same time all retaining tongues touch the narrowed neck portion at the upper end of the container, in particular vials.
- the radial clearance also prevents unwanted distortion or even bulging of the carrier when holding containers with different radial tolerances and / or external dimensions, which offers considerable advantages, in particular in the simultaneous processing of a plurality of containers while they are held by the holding structure are, for example, in the freeze-drying during processing at very low temperatures.
- the retaining tongues are sufficiently elastic or mounted, so that the container axially, i. in the direction of the longitudinal axis of the container and perpendicular to the plane of the carrier, can be inserted from the top or bottom of the carrier forth in the openings or receptacles, in particular under elastic deformation of the retaining tongues, for example, while bending away the same.
- the placement of the carrier with containers can thus be easily automated, which is favored by a regular arrangement of openings or recordings, preferably in a two-dimensional matrix, even further.
- the underside of a widened upper edge portion of the container has proven, as are typically provided in vials as so-called. Rolling edge or shoulder.
- a support or bearing surface for holding or supporting the container with a sufficient extent in the radial direction of the openings or receptacles is available to realize the aforementioned radial clearance in the holder of the container readily.
- the containers can be lifted or moved in the openings or receptacles with very little effort, for example rotated, they can be readily machined while they are in the holding structure and held or at least guided by it.
- this type of holder has proven, for example, when closing the container by crimping a metal lid. The operations required for this purpose can be carried out on the metal lid, while the container is held or at least guided in the opening or receiving the support structure.
- this type of holder has also proven in the processing of containers while they are held or received in the support structure.
- the holding structures can be introduced with the housed or held therein containers in a freeze-drying cabinet.
- the retaining tongues are formed as elastic retaining tongues, but have sufficient elasticity to be sufficiently elastically swung or folded away during insertion of the container into the openings or receptacles, to release the way the containers in the openings or recordings. This can easily be achieved by suitable dimensioning, choice of material and design of the material thickness of the holding tongues.
- the retaining tongues are thus formed of a plastic.
- the retaining tongues are resiliently biased against a holding position, preferably by means of an elastic return element, for example a return spring or a plastic leaflet or elastic plastic structure, which cooperates with the associated retaining tongue and is provided or formed on the upper side of the carrier.
- an elastic return element for example a return spring or a plastic leaflet or elastic plastic structure
- the retaining tongues are adapted to the containers, that the container with a widened edge, which is formed at an upper end of the container, ie in particular with the aforementioned rolled edge, loosely rest on upper sides of the retaining tongues.
- the containers can thus be removed without resistance up again from the openings or recordings.
- the retaining tongues surround the widened edge in such a way that the containers are held by the retaining tongues with radial clearance or with radial and axial play. In this way, the containers can be kept axially captive in the openings or receptacles. To remove the container from the openings or recordings, the retaining tongues need only turn in the way in which when inserting the container, swung back or folded back.
- the retaining tongues are arranged distributed on the upper side of the carrier so that they do not touch each other directly when swinging away or folding away and not obstruct an immediately adjacent opening or receiving. Thus, the packing density of the containers on the carrier can be further increased.
- the retaining tongues are designed so that immediately adjacent retaining tongues, when pivoted or folded during insertion of the containers into the associated openings or receptacles towards the carrier, do not touch one another.
- insertion bevels are formed at the upper end of the retaining tongues, which respectively merge into a holding nose projecting radially inwardly from the retaining tongues for holding the containers.
- the containers can thus be introduced even easier and less power in the openings or recordings.
- the lower end or the bottom of the container slides along the chamfers down and spreads apart the tabs or folds or pivots them back.
- the container Upon further insertion of the container finally gets the cylindrical side wall in abutment with the retaining lugs and slides along them, until finally the bottom of the aforementioned roll edge rests loosely on the retaining lugs of the retaining tongues.
- the holding tongues or their insertion bevels assigned to a respective opening or receptacle are in the same direction and twisted by an angle smaller than 90 °, so that the retaining tongues, when the containers are inserted from the top side of the carrier, radially into the openings or receptacles, viewed in plan view and be swung away or folded away with a movement component in the circumferential direction.
- This may, depending on the arrangement and distribution of the retaining tabs on the support allow immediately adjacent tabs when they are pivoted or folded during insertion of the container into the associated openings or receptacles to the carrier, do not touch each other.
- the openings or receptacles on an underside of the carrier opposite the upper side are delimited, at least in sections, by a respective side wall, in order to directly contact containers adjacent openings or receptacles to prevent, wherein the side walls are very particularly preferably formed so that the container from the bottom of the carrier forth are freely accessible.
- the side walls of adjacent openings or receptacles are preferably connected to each other, which advantageously contributes to a further stiffening of the carrier.
- the side walls are integrally formed with the carrier, which can be easily realized for example in plastic injection molding technology.
- the bottoms or lower ends of the containers received in the openings or receptacles preferably project from the lower ends of the side walls, so that the bottoms of the containers are freely accessible from the underside of the carrier. This allows the containers to be processed while being held to the carrier in the openings or receptacles, as discussed below.
- the one-piece design of the retaining tongues on the carrier according to claim 11 allows a cost-effective production, for example by injection molding of a plastic.
- the elastic retaining tabs protrude arcuately from the top of the carrier and, viewed in plan view, preferably a little in the associated opening or receiving into it.
- the containers can be held in particular in the region of a narrowed neck portion and near the upper open end of a container or vial, as explained in more detail below.
- the arcuate design of the tabs facilitates the insertion and withdrawal of the container into or out of the openings or recordings of the wearer.
- the elastic retaining tongues associated with an opening or receptacle are each arranged and formed symmetrically with respect to a center line of the opening or receptacle.
- the containers are thus automatically centered in the respective openings or receptacles of the carrier.
- the symmetry also prevents inadvertent tilting or tilting of the containers when inserted or held in the openings or receptacles of the wearer.
- the elastic retaining tongues each form a three-point bearing for holding the container in the respective opening or receiving the carrier, whereby an automatic centering of the container in the associated Openings or recordings and a very precise and stable determination of the position of the container on the support is even more favored.
- the side walls are arranged distributed in a regular hexagonal arrangement on the bottom and / or top of the carrier. Overall, a honeycomb-like structure is thus formed, which can advantageously contribute to a further stiffening of the carrier.
- the side walls of adjacent openings or receptacles are preferably connected to one another.
- the side walls of a respective opening or receptacle are each formed circumferentially and form a hexagonal honeycomb structure on the underside of the carrier. The side walls of immediately adjacent openings or receptacles converge in the corner regions of the openings or receptacles and are connected to one another or formed in one piece, which results in a further stiffening of the carrier.
- each retaining tongues protrude from a connecting region of the side walls in an arrangement with threefold symmetry into the respectively assigned openings or receptacles, so that a force cancellation can advantageously be achieved in the connecting region.
- the carrier can thus keep the majority of containers low-voltage.
- the side walls of a respective opening or receptacle are each formed circular and circumferential.
- the side walls of immediately adjacent openings or receptacles are connected to each other or integrally formed, which also leads to a further stiffening of the carrier.
- the openings or receptacles are arranged distributed in a regular arrangement of rows and columns on the carrier, wherein the respective rows and columns are each arranged regularly offset from one another and form a recurring arrangement.
- This regular arrangement is advantageous for automated handling of the containers.
- the base surface of the support structure can be reduced by removing or folding away the removable or pivotable elements formed on the edge. This enables a higher packing density during the processing of the containers accommodated in the holding structures, for example in a sterile tunnel or a freeze-drying cabinet.
- a holding structure for simultaneously holding a plurality of containers for substances for cosmetic, medical or pharmaceutical applications, in particular vials, comprising a Carrier having a plurality of openings or receptacles into which the containers are insertable, and holding means for holding the container in the openings or receptacles, wherein the support structure has a longitudinal direction (x) and a transverse direction (y).
- immediately adjacent holding structures can be directly connected to one another such that they are immovable relative to one another in the longitudinal direction and / or in the transverse direction.
- the respective immediately adjacent holding structures can be handled together, virtually as a unit, consisting of a plurality of (at least two) holding structures, without their position changing substantially relative to one another.
- a releasable, temporary connection of the immediately adjacent support structures is selected according to the invention, basically any positive or non-positive connection techniques can be used as long as the connection force achievable by the connection is greater than the forces usually occurring during the handling or processing of the support structures, who seek to separate the immediately adjacent support structures from each other again.
- the chosen one Connection technology can very well allow a certain amount of play between the immediately adjacent support structures in order to avoid excessive material loading.
- the form-fitting or force-fitting connection structures provided for the connection can have a certain elasticity between the immediately adjacent holding structures, which can be achieved without difficulty by suitable design of the connecting structures.
- the releasable, temporary connection of the immediately adjacent support structures by means of a form fit by form-fitting structures, which are arranged along the edges of the support structures and adapted to be able to cooperate properly with each other to accomplish a detachable connection.
- the positive connection is preferably realized directly between the form-fitting structures, i. without the intervention of a third connecting element, such as a screw, so that the connection can be realized in a time and cost saving manner.
- form-fitting formations which correspond to one another can be formed on mutually opposite edges of the directly adjacent holding structures, which can be transferred to one another in a form-locking engagement.
- the form-fitting structures can be designed in particular for a connection in the manner of a dovetail joint, a tongue and groove connection or a feather key.
- recesses for example with a circular cross section, in which correspondingly formed pin-like projections of an adjacent holding structure engage in a form-fitting manner.
- the form-fitting formations are formed as projections and recesses along the mutually opposite edges of the two immediately adjacent holding structures, whose base surfaces, viewed in plan view, are different from a rectangular shape and which are formed directly corresponding to one another. The form-fitting structures can thus be hooked directly into one another in a simple manner.
- these projections and recesses do not protrude substantially from the plane defined by the planar holding structure plane, so that the holding structures continue to be flat and thus designed to save space.
- the aforementioned entanglement takes place here by simply lifting a holding structure and then lowering, in order to accomplish the aforementioned positive connection between the correspondingly formed form-fit formations.
- the projections and recesses may have a substantially triangular base surface.
- these projections and recesses are arranged alternately and at regular intervals from each other along mutually opposite edges of the support structures, so that the support structures in principle can not be mutually aligned in a row next to each other, which, for example, for more effective use of processing and process stations non-rectangular base can be advantageous.
- the loading of processing and process stations can thus be made even more flexible.
- side walls are formed along edges of the mutually correspondingly formed projections and recesses at least in sections, which protrude at right angles from a surface of the support structures. It is advantageous that the contact surface is increased during pushing and pulling by these protruding edges.
- the edges act as quasi as stop and guide surfaces and allow an even more precise fit between the immediately adjacent support structures. In particular, the risk of "stacking" of the planar support structures can be effectively reduced.
- the form-fitting structures on a first of the two immediately adjacent support structures have a resilient tongue with a detent projection formed thereon or a detent recess formed thereon, and a receptacle corresponding to the detent protrusion formed on the second of the two immediately adjacent support structures or a corresponding one Lock recess formed on projection.
- the support structures are moved towards each other until finally the front end of the resilient tongue comes into abutment with the edge of the adjacent support structure.
- the bottom of the elastic tongue slides on the surface of the adjacent support structure along, in which state the elastic tongue is slightly bent upwards.
- the latching projection and the correspondingly shaped receptacle engage in one another in a form-locking manner and return the elastic tongue to its relaxed resting state, whereby a reliable connection between the adjacent holding structures is realized due to the positive connection between the latching projection and the correspondingly formed receptacle.
- the connection and solution of the compound is advantageously simple.
- Another aspect of the present invention further relates to a transport and packaging container having at least one support structure as set forth above and further disclosed in detail below.
- Another aspect of the present invention further relates to a shipping and packaging container having at least one support structure received therein, as set forth above, for holding the plurality of containers in the shipping or packaging container.

- a regular arrangement in particular in a matrix arrangement at regular intervals of the container to each other, along two different spatial directions, preferably along two mutually orthogonal spatial directions or in regular rows, which are arranged offset relative to each other.
- FIG. 1 An example of such medicament containers in the form of vials is shown schematically in a longitudinal section in FIG.
- These have a cylindrical basic shape, with a cylindrical side wall with - within the tolerances - constant inner and outer diameter, which protrudes perpendicularly from a flat bottle bottom 3 and near the upper open end of the vial in a narrowed neck portion 5 of comparatively small axial Length and then in a widened upper edge 6 (also rolled edge) merges, which has a larger outer diameter than the associated neck portion 5 and is designed for connection to a closure element.
- the underside of the roll edge 6 is formed chamfered and extends at an acute angle downwards and towards the narrowed neck portion 5.
- Fig le is in air gap in the radial direction between, for example, the left retaining tongue 140 (or more or all retaining tongues of an opening or receptacle) and the narrowed neck portion 5 of the container formed.
- the neck portion 5 may be formed smooth-walled without external thread or may be provided with an external thread for screwing a closure element.
- a plug (not shown) can be inserted whose upper end is connected to the upper edge 6 of the vial gas-tight and protected against the ingress of contaminants into the vial with the upper edge 6 , For example, by crimping or crimping a metal protective film, not shown.
- Such vials are radially symmetrical and formed of a transparent or colored glass or by blow molding or plastic injection molding techniques of a suitable plastic material, and may in principle be internally coated, so that the material of the vial emits as little impurities to the male substance.
- Ampoules or cartridges are containers for pharmaceuticals for the most parenteral application (injection), for cosmetics and other substances and are usually cylindrically shaped with a solid tip (spit or head) and a flat bottom or with two solid tips on both ends.
- These can be designed, in particular, as crushing ampoules with an annular predetermined breaking point around the neck of the ampoule or as an OPC ampoule (one-point-cut ampoule) with a crushing ring cut in the glass.
- Syringes or injection containers also referred to as injection vials, punctured ampoules or reusable ampoules, are cylindrical, bottle-like shaped containers made of glass or plastic, usually in relatively small nominal volumes (eg 1 ml, 10 ml). They are closed with a rubber stopper with septum (puncture rubber). To protect the septum and fix the rubber stopper is still an outer closure (crimp cap or staple), often made of aluminum sheet applied. In a carpule, the liquid is in one Cylinder closed at one end with a thick rubber or plastic stopper. This acts as a piston when the contents are squeezed out with a Karpulenspritze.
- the cylinder is closed only with a thin membrane that is pierced in use by the rear end of the cartridge needle (a cannula ground on both sides).
- Cylinder ampoules are often used in dentistry for local anesthesia.
- Special cylindrical ampoules with a specially designed front part eg thread are used for insulin therapy in insulin pens.
- such containers are used for storing substances or active substances for cosmetic, medical or pharmaceutical applications which are to be stored in one or more components in solid or liquid form in the container.
