DESCRIPTIVE MEMORY

PLASTIC BREAKFAST BLISTER OBJECT OF THE INVENTION

The invention, as expressed in the statement of the present specification, refers to a breakable plastic vial that provides, to the function to which it is intended, advantages and novelty features, which are described in detail below, and which assume an improved alternative to the current state of the art.

The object of the present invention lies in a vial of the type consisting of a small, individually sealed container that serves to contain a dose of preferably liquid product, usually an injectable or drinkable medicament, for also a drinkable or food additive vitamin supplement. , or a cosmetic product of topical application, and that for its consumption has a breakable head, which has the innovative feature that, instead of being glass, as usual, it is made of plastic material, which gives it Remarkable advantages of technical effect.

FIELD OF APPLICATION OF THE INVENTION

The field of application of the present invention falls within the sector of the industry dedicated to the manufacture of containers and containers, focusing particularly on the field of those intended to contain product doses, preferably liquid, and more specifically ampoules.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

The ampoules, as is known, and as defined by the rae itself, are small containers tightly sealed to contain a dose of product, preferably liquid and that, until now, have always been made of glass, which causes them to present some drawbacks; for example, due to the fragility of said material and the high risk of breakage that it entails at the time of transport and / or handling and, what is worse, due to the fact that, when opened, something that is done by breaking the neck weakened with that they count for it, they can leave traces of glass, that can contaminate their content, or hurt the user with said remains or by cuts with the edge of the glass of the same when splitting the neck.

The objective of the present invention is, therefore, to provide the market with an alternative container that, with the same characteristics and advantages that the ampoules provide for containing individual doses of product without the possibility of reopening until its breakage, avoid the inconveniences they present when glass.

On the other hand, and as a reference to the current state of the art, it should be noted that, although as stated the ampoules are something already known, at least by the applicant, the existence of any breakable ampoule that has technical characteristics is unknown. and structural constitutives equal to or similar to those presented here.

EXPLANATION OF THE INVENTION

The plastic breakable blister that the invention proposes is configured as a remarkable novelty within its field of application, being

the characterizing details that distinguish it conveniently included in the final claims that accompany the present description.

Specifically, what the invention proposes, as indicated above, is a breakable ampoule, that is, a small sealed container intended to contain a dose of product, preferably liquid, usually an injectable or drinkable medicament, or a vitamin supplement. drinkable or additive to food, or a cosmetic product of topical application, or other similar product, which opens by breaking the head of the same, is distinguished by the fact that, instead of being glass, as is usually the case, it is of plastic material, which gives it significant advantages of technical effect, such as the one that does not break.

Thus, the container constituting said blister is configured essentially from a main body, container of said product, which has an easily breakable upper head thanks to a weakened wall portion in the area of union between said body and said head, with the advantage that, when said head is split, usually by simple application of pressure, there are no glass debris that can contaminate the product, as well as the advantage that the possible possibility of cuts by the part is avoided.

Preferably, in addition, the blister has a cap, to facilitate the process of filling with the product by the laboratory or manufacturer of the product, which, however, once the blister is filled and placed in its place, at the base of the body main, it is fixed so that the blister remains airtight and cannot be removed, to avoid any possible loss or evaporation of the product, as well as its tampering or improper extraction until the blister is opened.

part of the user at the time of consumption breaking the head of the same by the weakened neck that joins it to the container body of the product.

Finally, it should be noted that, preferably, the plastic breakable blister object of the invention is manufactured by injection process and, also preferably, while the body and head of the blister are made of polypropylene (PP), which is a polymer thermoplastic, partially crystalline, which allows it to split from the weakened part, while the cap is made of polyethylene (PE) is chemically the simplest polymer and, consequently, cheaper, allowing to reduce the manufacturing cost of the assembly.

The described plastic breakable blister consists, then, in an innovative structure with characteristics unknown until now for the purpose to which it is intended, reasons that together with its practical utility, provide it with sufficient grounds to obtain the privilege of exclusivity that is requested.

DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

In order to complement the description that is being made and in order to help a better understanding of the characteristics of the invention, a descriptive plan is attached as an integral part thereof, with an illustrative and non-limiting character The following has been represented:

PREFERRED EMBODIMENT OF THE INVENTION

In view of the described figure 1 and only, and according to the numbering adopted therein, an example of non-limiting embodiment of the breakable plastic vial of the invention can be observed, which comprises what is indicated and described in detail below.

Thus, as can be seen in said figure, the breakable vial of the invention, intended to contain a dose of product, preferably liquid of an injectable, drinkable, food additive, or topical application product, consists of a container (1 ) individual that is of plastic material and that is configured, essentially, from a main body (2), container of said product, with a breakable upper head (3), to open and consume the product, through a neck (4) defined by a weakened wall portion, since the thickness (g) thereof is smaller than in the rest of the container (1).

Preferably, in addition, the main body (2) of the container (1) incorporates a cap (5), intended to facilitate the process of filling with the product, which once placed, seals the container (1) and cannot be removed.

Preferably, said cap (5) is incorporated into the lower base of the main body (2) of the container (1) that constitutes the blister, being fixed to the mouth (2a) provided therein; for example, snapped through the insertion of a perimeter shoulder (5a) provided in the edge of the plug (5) in a complementary recess (2b) provided for that purpose in said mouth (2a).

Preferably, the plastic container (1) constituting the vial is manufactured by injection process, being also preferably the body (2) and the head (3) of polypropylene (PP) and the stopper (5) of polyethylene (PE).
