Description
- The invention relates to a folding box made from a one-piece cardboard blank comprising an integrally formed hinged lid that overlaps an upper end area of a rectangular-cuboid-shaped body on three sides, is connected to a rear wall of the body through a fold line, and lies flush on a front wall and two side walls in the closed state, and having a front panel and two side panels that form a collar that protrudes into the hinged lid.
- DE 20 2004 000 479 U1 discloses a folding box made of cardboard comprising an integrally formed hinged lid that overlaps an upper end area of the folding box body on three sides, is connected to one of the areas of the body along a fold line that forms an upper edge of the folding box and has three cohesive panels that protrude perpendicularly from a lid area of the hinged lid and are each of double-walled construction, the hinged lid comprising a tab area bent inwards at the free edge of the respective panel area, which is glued to the inside of the panel area and extends into the throat between the panel area and the lid area and in the throat is integrally connected to the upper edge of the body area partly covered by this panel area in the unopened state of the folding box along a fold line that can be broken open when the hinged lid is opened for the first time.
- Moreover, DE 91 14 927 U1 discloses a folding box with a hinged lid made from a cardboard blank with folds and cuts that determine the cuboid shape and define the hinged lid. On the front of the box opposite the folding hinge of the hinged lid and on the adjoining short sides of the box, a tear strip formed by perforations is provided in the cardboard blank, which is made wider on one short side of the folding box to form a gripping handle.
- The known folding boxes have various disadvantages in that they do not comprise a plurality of compartments for objects that are to be housed therein, which is a problem particularly in the sector of folding boxes for packaging medicaments which are obliged to contain, in addition to the actual product, namely the medicament, at least one so-called package leaflet. As a rule, this package leaflet is housed together with the product in the body of the folding box. Certain national requirements may demand that two package leaflets be housed in one folding box, one leaflet being intended for the user of the product and the other leaflet being intended for a doctor or pharmacist dispensing the product. If both leaflets together with the product are stored in the body of the folding box, the doctor or pharmacist has to look for the leaflet that is intended for him, which is impractical and time-consuming.
- The problem of the invention is to provide a folding box of the kind mentioned hereinbefore which allows the ordered storage of a number of different items.
- According to the invention the problem is solved in that the front panel is arranged parallel to and at a distance from the front wall and divides the body into a main compartment and a front compartment.
- Thanks to this feature, different items can be housed separately from one another in the main compartment and the front compartment. The items may be intended for example for different user groups at which the folding box and its contents are aimed. For example, a patient will find in the main compartment a medicament and a package leaflet directed at them, and a pharmacist or doctor dispensing the folding box to the patient will find in the front compartment the package leaflet intended for them, which they can easily remove from the folding box without laborious searching. In this context it is also possible for example to provide the main compartment with a seal so as to provide a guarantee that it has not yet been opened. Therefore, the pharmacist in particular can open the folding box to get at the corresponding leaflet, while the main compartment remains sealed, so that the end user can see that the medicament has not been tampered with and is present in its entirety.
- According to one feature, the front wall merges into one of the side walls under two directly adjacent longitudinal fold lines, one fold line forming a longitudinal edge, produce a kind of accordion effect. In the event of a compressive load acting on the front wall, for example, such as may occur when a plurality of folding boxes are stacked, there is a deforming action in the region of the two fold lines and the folding box also gives the appearance to the user of being undamaged.
- For greater ease of handling and to assist with the removal of the items stored in the folding box, the front wall and/or the front panel expediently comprise(s) a slot as an entry means.
- In order to achieve further separation of the different items that are to be housed in the folding box, the main compartment is advantageously divided into two receiving compartments, more particularly of different sizes. For example, different preparations that are to be combined or an active substance formulation with an associated applicator device can be stored in the receiving chambers.
- For one-piece manufacture of the folding box, the cardboard blank is expediently severed in a region of one side panel and part of the front panel of the collar such that the main compartment of the body is subdivided into the two receiving compartments by the boundary wall extending from the front panel to the rear wall.
- To ensure that a relatively small item can easily be reached, an intermediate base is preferably inserted in one of the receiving compartments.
- According to a further feature, to form the intermediate base the cardboard blank comprises a tongue extending from the underside of the side panel that is hinged to the rear wall along a fold line. Expediently, the tongue extends away from the side panel in a first portion, extends in the direction of the free upper edge of the side panel in a second portion and is guided to the side panel in a third portion, the third portion terminating in a fourth portion that extends parallel to the side panel and is glued thereto. In this embodiment, the first portion forms part of a base of the folding box and the third portion of the tongue forms the intermediate base.
- Preferably, an information leaflet, particularly a package leaflet, is removably inserted in the front compartment and/or one receiving compartment of the main compartment. So that the information leaflet is not simply lost, advantageously the information leaflet is removably secured in the front compartment.
- In order to achieve ease of handling of the information leaflet, according to one feature the information leaflet is pushed into a sleeve which is glued to the inside of the front wall or the outside of the front panel of the collar, particularly in the cardboard blank itself. Accordingly, the cardboard blank can be processed together with the information leaflet even during the manufacture of the folding box. The information leaflet can be taken out of the sleeve and put back into it, so that the sleeve provides a reliable holder for the information leaflet in the front compartment of the folding box.
- Expediently, one receiving compartment of the main compartment is an applicator device, particularly an inhaler, for a medical active substance formulation, while in the other receiving compartment is inserted at least one package, particularly a cartridge, containing the active substance formulation that is to be administered.
- Inhalers are known under the brand names HandiHaler®, Spinhaler®, Rotahaler®, Aerolizer®, Flowcaps®, Turbospin®, AIR DPI®, Orbital®, Directhaler® and/or are described in DE 33 45 722, EP 0 591 136, DE 43 18 455, WO 91/02558, FR-A-2 146 202, U.S. Pat. No. 4,069,819, EP 666085, EP 869079, U.S. Pat. No. 3,991,761, WO 99/45987, WO 200051672, Bell, J. Pharm. Sci. 60, 1559 (1971); Cox, Brit. Med. J. 2, 634 (1969). Examples of powder inhalers include single- or multi-dose powder inhalers, particularly the Spinhaler®, Rotahaler®, Aerolizer®, Inhalator®, HandiHaler®, Diskhaler®, Diskus®, Accuhaler®, Aerohaler®, Eclipse®, Turbohaler®, Turbuhaler®, Easyhaler®, Novolizer®, Clickhaler®, Pulvinal®, Novolizer®, SkyeHaler®, Xcelovair®, Pulvina®, Taifun®, MAGhaler®, Twisthaler® and the Jethaler®.
- Moreover, the “Respimat®” nebuliser is sold by Boehringer Ingelheim KG in the form of an inhaler and is illustrated in WO 91/14468 and in WO 97/12687 A1. This aerosol nebuliser is used to propel a liquid pharmaceutical active substance preparation from a rigid container inserted in the aerosol nebuliser, i.e. a cartridge, having an inner bag by means of a piston pump driven by a helical gear to expel the active substance from the inner bag and by means of a spring-operated pressure generator through a microstructured nebuliser nozzle to produce a so-called “soft mist” and spray it out.
- Particularly preferred in this context are medicaments that are selected from among the anticholinergics, betamimetics, steroids, phosphodiesterase IV-inhibitors, LTD4-antagonists and EGFR-kinase-inhibitors, antiallergics, ergot alkaloid derivatives, triptans, CGRP-antagonists, phosphodiesterase-V-inhibitors, and combinations of such active substances, e.g. betamimetics plus anticholinergics or betamimetics plus antiallergics. In the case of combinations, at least one of the active substances comprises chemically bound water. Preferably, active substances that contain anticholinergics are used, as monopreparations or in the form of combined preparations.

- In order to provide visual evidence that the items stored in the folding box have not been tampered with, the hinged lid is expediently attached to the side walls and the front wall along a fold line that can be broken open when the hinged lid is opened for the first time.
- It will be understood that the features mentioned above and still to be described hereinafter may be used not only in the particular combination specified but also in other combinations. The scope of the invention is defined only by the claims.
- The invention is hereinafter explained in more detail by means of an embodiment by way of example, with reference to the accompanying drawings, wherein:
-
FIG. 1 shows a side view of a folding box according to the invention with its hinged lid open, -
FIG. 2 shows a plan view of the folding box according toFIG. 1 with the hinged lid fully opened, -

FIG. 4 shows a cardboard blank for the folding box according toFIG. 1 . - The folding box comprises a rectangular-cuboid-
shaped body 1 having abase 2, twoopposing side walls 3 of afront wall 4 arranged perpendicularly thereto and arear wall 5 extending parallel thereto, which is connected via afold line 6 to ahinged lid 7 which in the closed position lies flush on thefront wall 4 and the twoside walls 3 and is connected to theside walls 3 and thefront wall 4 along a fold line, as indicated by thedashed line 8, that can be broken open when thehinged lid 7 is opened for the first time. Projecting into thehinged lid 7 in the closed state of the folding box is acollar 11 made up of afront panel 9 and twoopposing side panels 10. Therear wall 5 is constructed higher than thefront wall 4 and theside walls 3 extend from thefront wall 4 diagonally upwards to therear wall 5. - The
front panel 9 is arranged parallel to and spaced from thefront wall 4 and subdivides thebody 1 into amain compartment 12 and afront compartment 13, themain compartment 12 being divided into tworeceiving compartments 15 of different sizes by apartition wall 14 and one receivingcompartment 15 comprises anintermediate base 17 formed by atongue 16. - One receiving
compartment 15 of themain compartment 12 stores aninhaler 18 for a medical active substance formulation and apackage leaflet 19 intended for a user. On theintermediate base 17 of theother receiving compartment 15 is acartridge 20 with the active substance formulation that is to be administered using the inhaler. Contained in thefront compartment 13 is asecond package leaflet 22 held together by asleeve 21, thesleeve 21 being attached to the inside of thefront wall 4 by adhesive bonding. - To open the folding box the user reaches through the
slot 23 in thefront wall 4 and opens thehinged lid 7 by tearing the tearable fold line along thedashed line 8, which constitutes a perforation, away from theside walls 3 and thefront wall 4. Thepackage leaflet 22 can easily be pulled out of thesleeve 21 and thefront compartment 13 and removed from the folding box thanks to theslot 23 in thefront wall 4 and aslot 24 in thefront panel 9. - To avoid deformation of the folding box, particularly in the region of the
front wall 4, the front wall merges into theadjacent side wall 3 under twolongitudinal fold lines fold lines longitudinal edge 27 of thebody 1, produce a kind of accordion effect. - For manufacturing the folding box, a one-piece cardboard blank 28 is provided in which the
first side wall 3 merges into thefront wall 4 at the edges, forming the twofold lines front wall 4 with anintermediate fold line 29 is thesecond side wall 3, which is in turn connected to therear wall 5 via afold line 30.
