Abstract

The blister pack arrangement has a blister pack, which has a cavity (7) for receiving a medication dosage and a closure film. Each medication dosage is squeezed out through the closure film by pressing out the respective cavity for sampling. A conductive path carrier is aligned relative to the cavities of the blister pack such that a conductor (1) is disconnected within the surface by pressing out the medication dosage. The surface is defined by perpendicular projection of the cavity on the conductive path.

Description

Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft Blisterpackungsanordnungen mit einer Blisterpackung, welche Kavitäten zur Aufnahme je einer Medikamentendosis - etwa in Form einer Tablette, einer Pille oder eines Dragees - und eine Verschlussfolie aufweist, wobei jede Medikamentendosis durch Eindrücken der zugehörigen Kavität zur Entnahme durch die Verschlussfolie herausdrückbar ist, insbesondere Blisterpackungsanordnungen welche zudem einen Leiterbahnträger aufweisen, welcher eine Leiterbahn aufweist und relativ zu den Kavitäten der Blisterpackung so ausgerichtet ist, dass die Leiterbahn über mindestens eine durch senkrechte Projektion einer der Kavitäten auf den Leiterbahnträger definierte Fläche, durch welche die Medikamentendosis dieser Kavität zur Entnahme herausdrückbar ist, verläuft, so dass die Leiterbahn durch Herausdrücken dieser Medikamentendosis durch diese Fläche unterbrechbar ist.The present invention relates to blister pack assemblies with a blister pack having cavities for receiving one drug dose each - such as in the form of a tablet, a pill or a dragee - and a closure foil, each dose of medicament being pushable out by depressing the associated cavity for removal through the closure foil, in particular blister pack arrangements which additionally have a conductor carrier which has a conductor track and is aligned relative to the cavities of the blister pack such that the conductor path can be pressed out by at least one surface defined by vertical projection of one of the cavities onto the conductor carrier, by which the medicament dose of this cavity can be pressed out for removal is, runs, so that the trace is interrupted by pushing out this drug dose through this area.

Mit dem Prinzip, eine Leiterbahn beim Herausdrücken einer Medikamentendosis aus einer Blisterpackung zu unterbrechen, läßt sich auf elektronischem Wege überwachen, ob ein Patient das Medikament zu den verordneten Zeiten in den verordneten Dosen einnimmt (Patient Compliance). Hierzu ist die Leiterbahn mit einem geeigneten Auswertungsschaltkreis zu verbinden. Üblicherweise sind mehrere Leiterbahnen vorgesehen, um die Entnahme jeder in der Blisterpackung enthaltenen Einzeldosis auch separat detektieren zu können. Grundsätzlich besteht eine Vielzahl an möglichen Schaltungsvarianten. Beispielsweise kann für jede Kavität eine völlig separate Leiterbahnschleife vorgesehen sein; oder aber über jede durch senkrechte Projektion einer der Kavitäten auf den Leiterbahnträger definierte Fläche ist ein Zweig einer in zwei Anschlüsse mündenden Parallelschaltung gelegt, und die Zahl der entnommenen Medikamentendosen lässt sich aus dem Gesamtwiderstand der Parallelschaltung bestimmen, dessen Kehrwert gleich der Summe der Kehrwerte der Einzelwiderstände aller intakten Zweige ist.With the principle of interrupting a trace when pushing out a drug dose from a blister pack, it is possible to monitor electronically whether a patient is taking the drug at the prescribed times in the prescribed doses (Patient Compliance). For this purpose, the conductor must be connected to a suitable evaluation circuit. Usually, a plurality of interconnects are provided in order to be able to separately detect the removal of each individual dose contained in the blister pack. Basically, there are a large number of possible circuit variants. For example, a completely separate interconnect loop can be provided for each cavity; or via each surface defined by vertical projection of one of the cavities on the conductor carrier, a branch of a parallel connection opens in two connections, and the number of withdrawn drug cans can be determined from the total resistance of the parallel connection whose reciprocal equals the sum of the reciprocals of the individual resistances of all intact branches is.

Meist sind die Leiterbahnen auf den Leiterbahnträger aufgedruckt, welcher aus einem Flachmaterial, wie etwa einer Kunststofffolie oder auch einem mehrlagigen Folienverbund besteht. Der Leiterbahnträger kann wiederum auf die Verschlussfolie der Blisterpackung aufgeklebt sein. Hierzu ist eine selbstklebende Ausführung des Leiterbahnträgers üblich, welcher auf einem bahnförmigen Abziehmaterial vorgelegt und dann, in der Regel maschinell, auf die Verschlussfolie der Blisterpackung aufgespendet wird.Most of the printed conductors are printed on the conductor carrier, which consists of a flat material, such as a plastic film or a multilayer film composite. The conductor carrier can in turn be glued to the sealing film of the blister pack. For this purpose, a self-adhesive design of the conductor carrier is customary, which is presented on a sheet-like release material and then, usually mechanically, is applied to the sealing film of the blister pack.

Eine Blisterpackungsanordung der eingangs genannten Art ist aus der deutschen Offenlegungsschrift DE 10 2004 060 213 A1 bekannt. Bei dieser vorbekannten Blisterpackungsanordung ist die durch senkrechte Projektion einer der Kavitäten auf den Leiterbahnträger definierte Fläche jeweils von Stanzlinien ringförmig umgeben. Die Stanzlinien sind durch zwei aus dem Flachmaterial des Leiterbahnträgers gebildeten schmalen Stegteilen unterbrochen, über welche die Leiterbahnen geführt werden. Beim Herausdrücken der Medikamentendosis aus der zugehörigen Kavität wird mindestens eines der Stegteile durchtrennt, wodurch die darüber verlaufende Leiterbahn unterbrochen wird.A Blisterpackungsanordung of the type mentioned is from the German patent application DE 10 2004 060 213 A1 known. In this known Blisterpackungsanordung defined by vertical projection of one of the cavities on the conductor carrier surface is in each case surrounded annularly by punching lines. The punched lines are interrupted by two formed from the flat material of the conductor carrier narrow web portions over which the conductor tracks out become. When pushing out the drug dose from the associated cavity at least one of the web parts is severed, whereby the overlying conductor track is interrupted.

Zum Entnehmen einer Medikamentendosis ist so nicht nur die Verschlussfolie der Blisterpackung durch Herausdrücken der Medikamentendosis zu durchtrennen sondern zusätzlich auch zumindest eines der im Leiterbahnträger vorgesehenen Stegteile, über welche die Leiterbahn verläuft. Dies erschwert die Medikamentenentnahme und kann sie bei alten und geschwächten Patienten unter Umständen gar verhindern.To remove a dose of medication so not only the sealing film of the blister pack by pushing out the drug dose to cut through but also at least one of the provided in the conductor carrier web portions over which the conductor runs. This complicates the withdrawal of medication and may even prevent it in old and weakened patients.

Vor diesem Hintergrund ist es Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung, eine Blisterpackungsanordnung der eingangs genannten Art zu schaffen, welche die Medikamentenentnahme gegenüber dem Stand der Technik erleichtert, d.h. den zum Entnehmen einer Medikamentendosis erforderlichen Kraftaufwand reduziert. Erfindungsgemäß wird diese Aufgabe gelöst, indem das Reißen eines Stegteils am Umfang der durch senkrechte Projektion einer der Kavitäten auf den Leiterbahnträger definierte Fläche vermieden wird.Against this background, it is an object of the present invention to provide a blister pack assembly of the type mentioned, which facilitates the withdrawal of medicaments compared to the prior art, i. reduced the effort required to remove a dose of medication. According to the invention, this object is achieved by avoiding the tearing of a web part on the circumference of the surface defined by vertical projection of one of the cavities onto the conductor carrier.

Gemäß einem Aspekt der Erfindung wird die Lösung der Aufgabe mit einer Blisterpackungsanordnung gemäß Anspruch 1 umgesetzt. Das Reißen eines Stegteils am Umfang der durch senkrechte Projektion einer der Kavitäten auf den Leiterbahnträger definierten Fläche wird hier dadurch vermieden, dass das zu durchtrennende Stegteil in die durch senkrechte Projektion der Kavität auf den Leiterbahnträger definierten Fläche hinein verlegt wird. Gegenüber der herkömmlichen Ausführung eines Stegteils am Rand der durch senkrechte Projektion der Kavität auf den Leiterbahnträger definierten Fläche ergeben sich so günstigere Krafteinleitungsverhältnisse, welche das Stegteil leichter reißen lassen.According to one aspect of the invention, the solution of the problem with a blister pack assembly according to claim 1 is implemented. The rupture of a web portion on the circumference of the area defined by vertical projection of one of the cavities on the conductor carrier surface is avoided here, that the web part to be cut is moved into the surface defined by vertical projection of the cavity on the conductor carrier. Compared to the conventional design of a web portion at the edge of the plane defined by vertical projection of the cavity on the conductor carrier surface results in more favorable force introduction conditions, which can tear the web part easier.

Vorteilhafte Ausführungsformen der Erfindung können gemäß einem der Ansprüche 2 - 7 ausgestaltet sein. Stanzlinien können dabei grundsätzlich sowohl in Form einfacher Stanzlinien, als auch in Form spaltartiger Ausnehmungen vorgesehen sein.Advantageous embodiments of the invention may be configured according to one of claims 2-7. Punching lines can basically be provided both in the form of simple punched lines, as well as in the form of gap-like recesses.

Grundsätzlich kann jede im Rahmen der vorliegenden Anmeldung beschriebene bzw. angedeutete Variante der Erfindung besonders vorteilhaft sein, je nach wirtschaftlichen und technischen Bedingungen im Einzelfall. Soweit nichts gegenteiliges dargelegt ist, bzw. soweit grundsätzlich technisch realisierbar, sind einzelne Merkmale der beschriebenen Ausführungsformen austauschbar oder miteinander sowie auch mit aus dem Stand der Technik per se bekannten Maßnahmen kombinierbar.In principle, any variant of the invention described or indicated in the context of the present application may be particularly advantageous, depending on the economic and technical conditions in the individual case. Unless otherwise stated, or as far as technically feasible, individual features of the described embodiments are interchangeable or can be combined with one another and also with measures known per se from the prior art.

Nachfolgend werden anhand der zugehörigen Zeichnungen Beispiele bevorzugter Ausführungsformen der vorliegenden Erfindung näher erläutert. Die Zeichnungen sind dabei rein schematische und, aus Gründen der Anschaulichkeit, nicht maßstäbliche Darstellungen. Insbesondere können Verhältnisse der Abmessungen zueinander von tatsächlichen Ausführungen abweichen.Hereinafter, examples of preferred embodiments of the present invention will be explained in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. The drawings are purely schematic and, for reasons of clarity, not to scale representations. In particular, ratios of dimensions to each other may differ from actual embodiments.

Einander entsprechende Elemente sind in den einzelnen Figuren jeweils, soweit sinnvoll, mit den gleichen Bezugszeichen versehen.

Fig. 1
zeigt den Leiterbahnträger einer erfindungsgemäßen Blisterpackungsanordnung in der Draufsicht, wobei exemplarisch zehn verschiedene Stanzbilder (1.1-1.10) zur Erleichterung der Medikamentenentnahme dargestellt sind.
Fig. 2
zeigt den Leiterbahnträger einer ähnlichen Variante 1.5 aus Fig. 1 ausgeführten Blisterpackungsanordnung in der Draufsicht mit zwei verschiedenen Leiterbahnführungen, nämlich zum einen direkt eine Stanzlinie kreuzend, zum anderen über ein eine Stanzlinie unterbrechendes Stegteil.
Corresponding elements are provided in the individual figures, where appropriate, with the same reference numerals.
Fig. 1
shows the conductor carrier of a blister pack assembly according to the invention in plan view, with exemplary ten different punch images (1.1-1.10) are shown to facilitate the withdrawal of medication.
Fig. 2
shows the conductor carrier of a similar variant 1.5 Fig. 1 executed blister pack assembly in plan view with two different conductor track guides, namely on the one hand directly crossing a punching line, on the other hand via a punch line interrupting web part.

In Fig. 1 ist der Leiterbahnträger einer erfindungsgemäßen Blisterpackungsanordnung in der Draufsicht dargestellt. Dabei sind zehn verschiedene Ausführungsformen des Stanzbildes der die Medikamentenentnahme erleichternden Stanzlinien 3 in einer Darstellung zusammengefasst. Anstelle einfacher Stanzlinien 3 können, auch in Teilbereichen, spaltartige Ausnehmungen vorgesehen sein. Am Rand sind zur einfacheren Bezugnahme auf die einzelnen Varianten Nummern von 1.1 bis 1.10 angegeben. Bei einer kommerziellen Umsetzung wird üblicherweise ein gleiches Stanzbild für jede zu entnehmende Medikamentendosis gewählt werden. Allerdings kann eine gewünschte Leiterbahnführung den Fachmann auch zu individuell abgeänderten Stanzbildern, beispielsweise für an den Ecken der Blisterpackung angeordneten Kavitäten 7 greifen lassen. Durch die Wahl eines geeigneten Stanzbildes, bei welchem Stanzlinien 3 in geeigneten Kurven und Schnecken verlaufen, wie etwa in Ausführungsform 10.1, kann die Gefahr eines Weiterreißens der Öffnung zur nächsten Blisterkavität bei der Entnahme einer Tablette vermieden werden.In Fig. 1 the conductor carrier of a blister pack assembly according to the invention is shown in plan view. There are ten different embodiments of the stamping image of the Medication removal facilitating punching lines 3 summarized in a representation. Instead of simple punched lines 3, gap-like recesses can also be provided in partial areas. At the edge numbers are given from 1.1 to 1.10 for easier reference to the individual variants. In a commercial implementation, a common punching pattern will usually be selected for each drug dose to be withdrawn. However, a desired conductor track guidance can allow the person skilled in the art also to take individualized punched images, for example for cavities 7 arranged at the corners of the blister pack. By choosing a suitable punching pattern, in which punching lines 3 run in suitable curves and screws, such as in embodiment 10.1, the risk of further tearing the opening to the next blister cavity in the removal of a tablet can be avoided.

Mit ovalen Linien angedeutet sind die durch senkrechte Projektion der (Tabletten, Pillen oder Dragees enthaltenden) Kavitäten 7 auf den Leiterbahnträger definierten Flächen angedeutet. Der Leiterbahnträger ist aus einem Flachmaterial 4 hergestellt, bei welchem es sich beispielsweise um eine Kunststofffolie (PET, PE, PP, PVC, PA ...), einen Folienverbund oder Papier handeln kann. Die Leiterbahnen 1 sind auf das Flachmaterial 4 aufgedruckt. Jeder Kavität 7 ist dabei eine eigene Leiterschleife zugeordnet. Ob diese durchgängig ist, kann über die in Fig. 1 nicht detaillierter ausgeführten Anschlüsse am unten dargestellten Rand des Leiterbahnträgers abgefragt werden. Für jede Kavität 7 ist dabei ein eigener Anschluss vorgesehen, so dass detektierbar ist, aus welcher Kavität 7 die darin enthaltene Medikamentendosis entnommen wurde. Grundsätzlich können die Leiterbahnen 1 und deren Anschlüsse im wesentlichen so ausgeführt werden, wie aus dem Stand der Technik bekannt.Indicated by oval lines are indicated by vertical projection of the (tablets, pills or dragees containing) cavities 7 defined on the conductor carrier surfaces. The conductor carrier is made of a flat material 4, which may be, for example, a plastic film (PET, PE, PP, PVC, PA ...), a film composite or paper. The conductor tracks 1 are printed on the flat material 4. Each cavity 7 is assigned its own conductor loop. Whether this is consistent, about the in Fig. 1 not detailed executed connections are queried at the edge of the conductor carrier shown below. For each cavity 7, a separate connection is provided so that it can be detected from which cavity 7 the drug dose contained therein was taken. In principle, the printed conductors 1 and their connections can be carried out essentially as known from the prior art.

In allen zehn in Fig. 1 dargestellten Stanzbildern wird die Leiterbahn 1 über ein zentral in der durch senkrechte Projektion der zugehörigen Kavität 7 auf den Leiterbahnträger definierten Fläche angeordnetes Stegteil 2 geführt. Das Stegteil 2 ist aus dem Flachmaterial 4 gebildet und durch Stanzlinien 3 definiert. Grundsätzlich ist dabei bereits die schmale Unterbrechung einer Stanzlinie (wie in Fig. 4, untere Reihe dargestellt) als Stegteil 2 aufzufassen; in den Ausführungsformen von Fig. 1 ist jedoch das Stegteil 2 jeweils durch Stanzlinienfortsätze verlängert, was das Stegteil 2 leichter reißen lässt. Zusätzlich oder stattdessem kann das Stegteil 2 durch Anstanzungen weiter geschwächt seinIn all ten in Fig. 1 illustrated punching images, the conductor 1 is guided via a centrally arranged in the plane defined by vertical projection of the associated cavity 7 on the conductor carrier surface web portion 2. The web part 2 is formed from the flat material 4 and defined by punched lines 3. In principle, the narrow interruption of a punching line (as shown in FIG. 4, bottom row) is already to be understood as a web part 2; in the embodiments of Fig. 1 However, the web part 2 is extended in each case by Stanzlinienfortsätze, which makes the web part 2 easier to tear. In addition or instead of the web part 2 may be further weakened by punching

Die Verzweigung der Stanzlinien 3 erleichtert zudem insgesamt das Aufreißen des Flachmaterials 4 im Bereich der zugehörigen Kavität 7, wenn die/das in der Kavität 7 angeordnete Tablette, Pille oder Dragee durch Druck auf die Kavität 7 aus dieser herausgedrückt wird.The branching of the punching lines 3 also facilitates the tearing open of the flat material 4 in the region of the associated cavity 7 when the tablet, pill or tablet arranged in the cavity 7 is pushed out of the cavity 7 by pressure on the cavity 7.

Besonders begünstigt ist die Krafteinleitung dadurch, dass das Stegteil 2 eine Stanzlinie 3 unterbricht, welche die durch senkrechte Projektion der zugehörigen Kavität 7 auf den Leiterbahnträger definierte Fläche etwa in zwei (in der Darstellung obere und untere) Hälften teilt.The introduction of force is particularly favored by the fact that the web part 2 interrupts a punching line 3 which divides the surface defined by vertical projection of the associated cavity 7 on the strip carrier approximately into two halves (upper and lower in the illustration).

Dabei können die Stanzlinien 3 vollständig innerhalb der durch senkrechte Projektion der zugehörigen Kavität 7 auf den Leiterbahnträger definierten Fläche liegen (Varianten 1.1 bis 1.9), ober auch über diese hinausreichen (Variante 1.10).In this case, the punched lines 3 can lie completely within the area defined by vertical projection of the associated cavity 7 on the strip conductor carrier (variants 1.1 to 1.9), and also extend beyond them (variant 1.10).

Fig. 2 zeigt zwei Ausführungsformen in einer Darstellung. Für die in der Darstellung untere Reihe der Medikamentenkavitäten 7 ist wiederum die Führung der Leiterbahn 1 über Stegteile 2 vorgesehen. Anders als in Fig. 1 sind die Stegteile 2 jedoch nicht durch Stanzlinienfortsätze verlängert, was das Stanzbild vereinfacht. Besonders günstig für die Krafteinleitung ist die Anordnung der Stanzlinien 3 dergestalt, dass sie die durch senkrechte Projektion der zugehörigen Kavitäten 7 auf den Leiterbahnträger definierten Flächen in etwa halbieren. Für die in der Darstellung obere Reihe der Medikamentenkavitäten 7 sind keine die Stanzlinie 3 unterbrechende Stegteile 2 vorgesehen. Hier kreuzt die Leiterbahn 1 die Stanzlinie direkt, was nicht mehr Gegenstand der Erfindung ist. Fig. 2 shows two embodiments in a representation. For the lower row of the drug cavities 7 in the illustration, in turn, the guidance of the conductor 1 via web portions 2 is provided. Unlike in Fig. 1 However, the web parts 2 are not extended by punching line extensions, which simplifies the stamping image. Particularly favorable for the introduction of force is the arrangement of the punching lines 3 such that they approximately halve the areas defined by vertical projection of the associated cavities 7 on the conductor carrier. For the top row of the drug cavities 7 in the illustration, no pier sections 3 interrupting the piercing line 3 are provided. Here, the conductor 1 crosses the punching line directly, which is no longer the subject of the invention.
