Description
~128033 PACKAGING
PIELD OF THE INVENTION
This invention relates to packaging for mqt~riq,ls and articles such as p~l~nal hygiene products, cosmetics and the like and particularly pql l~qgingin the form of tubes, pouches and sachets formed of a thermoplastics mqteri~l;
and more particularly to such packaged m,q~teriql~ and articles for dispensation to pqti.ont~, re~ident~, in...~es and the like of detention in~titutions such as hospitals and prisons.
BACKGROUND TO THE INVENTION
Personal hygiene products, cosmetics, toiletries, health and beauty aids such as toothpaste, shampoos, body lotions, deodorants, soaps, hairspray, cosmetics in the form of ~i.cpçn~q.~)le foams, gels, liquids, emulsions and the like and articles such as sani~ ~ napkins, razors, combs, toothbrushes and the like are typically p~ rag~ for retail purposes in thermoplastic deformable containers such as cylin-lri~-q-l tubes, pouches, sachets and the like. Such products and articles are either lispen~ from the container by the cutting of the plastics mqtPriql or bythe unscrewing of a cap, operation of a plunger, through a nozzle, or other al)ellule.
Typically, such packaged ingredients and articles are commercially available to the public through retail stores such as ~u~l~l~a kel~ and drugstores, or vending n ^~ ines. Generally, safety or other fealu~es associated with the p^^l~-q~ing are de~ign~Pd invariably to prevent accidental or ~InintendP~d dispensation of the ingre~iPnt.~. For example, the contain~l~ may have tamper proof caps to prevent unwal~ted ~ ppnsqtion of the product by a child.
In the case of pqtiPnt~, re~i-lent~, in~ tes and the like of detention or correctional in~tihltions, such pel~ol al hygiene products and cosmetics are provided to the pqtiPnt~ and resi~lent~ in the same ordina"~ commercial containers as available to mPmbPrs of the public. Although these articles may be ~icpçn~ed to both male and female supervised pqtiPnt~, residents and inn~tf s, typically from a central in~tit~tir)nal authority no special cont. iners are provided to such inm~qte resi~lent~ and pqtiPnts~
Often, certain of the above described commercially available contq-iners are capable of being ~.lrr~iliously opened and partly or wholly refilled with illegal substances, such as drugs or articles, such as ra_or blades or shal~ned objects capable of causing physical injury. The ingenuity of in~titutionqli7~d in~q,~es, rç~i~1çnt~ and patients is renowned. Thus, many co~ and p^^l~in~ of the type referred to hereinabove may be used when empty by an inmate or patient to provide a container capable of hiding i~proper substances or articles in place of the proper material, to escape detection and confi~-q,ffon thereof by the instihltional authorities.
Accordingly, there is a need to provide personal hygiene products, cosmP-tics and the like in containers such that the in~titutional authorities can readily detect any ~ P-;ng of the container by a rapid, visu. l inspection in order to reduce the risk of subsequent use of any illicit substance or weapon hidden in the contqinPr SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
It is an object of the present invention to provide a container for p~l~nal hygiene products, cosmetics and the like, intrinsically adaptable to theconl~in"~ l of illicit substances and dangerous weapons, but which container is ~pted to readily enable through visible in~pection to detect whether the con~iner has been opened and re-sealed.
This and other objects of the invention will be readily seen from a reading of the specification as a whole.
Accordingly, in its broadest aspect, the invention provides a cont~ine~ for toiletries, ~rsonal hygiene products and articles, said container comprising a body forrned of a sealable material for storing said product or article and having a first portion defining a sealed a~llure through which aperture saidproduct or article was added to said body;
a second portion defining an ap~llule through which said product is operatively ispen.~d from said body;
an outer surface adja(~nt said first portion; and identification means associated with said outer surface such that opening of said body at or ~ c~.nt said first portion to provide a third apellure and subsequent sealing of said third apellule effects a visual change in said identification means.
The container may be of any shape suitable as a container for the stated ingredients and articles, provided it has the inventive features herein definP.d. It may be formed in whole or in part of any heat-sealable m~teri~l, prc;îeldbly, a resiliPntly flexible thermoplastics m~tto.ri~l, for example, a thermop1~tic m~tçri~l such as a polymer or copolymer of ethylene, propylene, polyethylene le,~phll.~l~te and polyvinyl chloride.
The identification means, preferably, further functions as (limen~ion identifi~tion means, which enables a change in a dimPn.~ion such as a length or breadth of the con~inel to be detected where such a change in ~lim~.n~ion is caused by the opening and re-sealing, preferably by heat, of the container.
The idçntific~tion means, preferably, comprises a plurality of identific~tion fealur~s selected from the group consisting of marks, numerals, letters, symbols, colours and designs, so arranged as to constitute a visual pre-se1~ted pattern.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
In order that the invention may be better understood, prcfe~red embo linl~nt~ will now be described by way of example only with reference to theacco~ ying drawings whc~cin:
Fig. 1 lcp~S~ a diagrqmmqtic perspective view of a container according to the invention;
Fig. 2 rcp.csenls, in part, a diagrqmmq-tic perspective view of the container ofFig. 1, of reduced length;
Fig. 3 rcple~n~ an further embodiment of a container according to the invention con~ g a shower cap;
Figs. 4A - 4D rel)rescn~ enlarged diagl~.. qtic views of identificq~tion means on a label of use on a co~ PI according to the invention; and whc.cin the same numeral denotes like parts throughout the drawings.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
With reference to Fig. 1 which rcp~csents a cont. iner, formed of a polyethylene, shown generally as 10, holding a shampoo, gel or the like 12, having a cylintlricql or tubular body portion 14. Container 10, at one end has aportion 16 defining a se led ape,lulc through which ape lure prior to sealing was added pe~onal body care ingredients 12 during manufacture. Sealing of apellurc portion 16 provides body 14 with a tapered portion 18, adjacent sealed ape.lulc 16. Conl;lil-er 10 has a screw neck 20, provided with product outlet apellurc 22closed by screw cap 24.
Adhered to and adjacent tapered portion 18, is a label 26 bearing a plurality of itllontifi-~tion numerals 28, which, in this embodim.ont, range from 1 - 10 eYten~lin~ from sealed aperture portion 16 lengthwise of tube 14.
Thus, the identifi-~tion numerals 28 are so located and arranged that if conlaincr 10 is opened by the cutting or otherwise of or adjacent to sealed ape.lu.c 16, say, for the purpose of the insertion of illicit substances or articles after the total or partial removal of the original ingreAi~-nt~, followed by subsequent heat-sealing of the thermoplastics material to effect a resealed aperture 30 (Fig. 2), either some or all of the numerals of label 26 are destroyed or otherwise obliterated. Such a change to the ide-ntifi~ti-~n numerals enables, byvisual in~pection~ the det~ctiQn of any disturbance of sealed a~,lu-e 16. The S identifi~tion label is so arranged as to detect any change in the length of the tube or other disturbance of the seal. It is, thus, possible to detect a change in length of co~ 10 possibly due to the cutting and/or res~ling of container 10.
Fig. 3 shows a ~ubs~-lially rectangularly shaped container 30 formed of polyethylene such as a pouch or sachet cont~ining a shampoo cap 32.
Labels 26 having identifi~tion numerals 28 are ~dj~c~nt each of edges 34, 36 which can be seen to have been sealed during manufacture. If there are more than one of such presealed edges, s--fficient labels and identification numeral sequences must be employed. In those cases where the sealing of an edge during manufacture is such as to provide a seal not so det~t~ble upon a quick visual in~I)ection, then, clearly, no identifi~tion sequence is n~es~y since an openingor cut and s~uent resP~ling of such an edge should be readily dete~t~ble by visual in~pection, obviating the need for additional identification means.
Figs. 4A - 4B r~l~nt examples of identification means such as in Fig. 4A - letters in ~lph~heti~l order; Fig. 4B - symbols in a pres~1ected reco~ni7~hle sequence; Fig. 4C - colour sequence depicted either as discreet units of dirr~ ce colours or as in Fig. 4D a continuum as in colours of the rainbow.
In a further embo~iment, the identifit~ti~n numerals 28 may be integrally formed within the thermoplastics material at portion 18; or painted thereon or applied in some other suitable manner.
In a yet further embodiment, the heat-sealable material may comp~ise a heat-sensitive material which changes colour when heated, particularly to the melting point of the heat-sealable m~t~ri~l of the container. Such a colour change would enable rapid visual in~pection to detect the improper opening and res~ling thereof.
In order that the invention may be better understood, prcfe~red embo linl~nt~ will now be described by way of example only with reference to theacco~ ying drawings whc~cin:
Fig. 1 lcp~S~ a diagrqmmqtic perspective view of a container according to the invention;
Fig. 2 rcp.csenls, in part, a diagrqmmq-tic perspective view of the container ofFig. 1, of reduced length;
Fig. 3 rcple~n~ an further embodiment of a container according to the invention con~ g a shower cap;
Figs. 4A - 4D rel)rescn~ enlarged diagl~.. qtic views of identificq~tion means on a label of use on a co~ PI according to the invention; and whc.cin the same numeral denotes like parts throughout the drawings.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
With reference to Fig. 1 which rcp~csents a cont. iner, formed of a polyethylene, shown generally as 10, holding a shampoo, gel or the like 12, having a cylintlricql or tubular body portion 14. Container 10, at one end has aportion 16 defining a se led ape,lulc through which ape lure prior to sealing was added pe~onal body care ingredients 12 during manufacture. Sealing of apellurc portion 16 provides body 14 with a tapered portion 18, adjacent sealed ape.lulc 16. Conl;lil-er 10 has a screw neck 20, provided with product outlet apellurc 22closed by screw cap 24.
Adhered to and adjacent tapered portion 18, is a label 26 bearing a plurality of itllontifi-~tion numerals 28, which, in this embodim.ont, range from 1 - 10 eYten~lin~ from sealed aperture portion 16 lengthwise of tube 14.
Thus, the identifi-~tion numerals 28 are so located and arranged that if conlaincr 10 is opened by the cutting or otherwise of or adjacent to sealed ape.lu.c 16, say, for the purpose of the insertion of illicit substances or articles after the total or partial removal of the original ingreAi~-nt~, followed by subsequent heat-sealing of the thermoplastics material to effect a resealed aperture 30 (Fig. 2), either some or all of the numerals of label 26 are destroyed or otherwise obliterated. Such a change to the ide-ntifi~ti-~n numerals enables, byvisual in~pection~ the det~ctiQn of any disturbance of sealed a~,lu-e 16. The S identifi~tion label is so arranged as to detect any change in the length of the tube or other disturbance of the seal. It is, thus, possible to detect a change in length of co~ 10 possibly due to the cutting and/or res~ling of container 10.
Fig. 3 shows a ~ubs~-lially rectangularly shaped container 30 formed of polyethylene such as a pouch or sachet cont~ining a shampoo cap 32.
Labels 26 having identifi~tion numerals 28 are ~dj~c~nt each of edges 34, 36 which can be seen to have been sealed during manufacture. If there are more than one of such presealed edges, s--fficient labels and identification numeral sequences must be employed. In those cases where the sealing of an edge during manufacture is such as to provide a seal not so det~t~ble upon a quick visual in~I)ection, then, clearly, no identifi~tion sequence is n~es~y since an openingor cut and s~uent resP~ling of such an edge should be readily dete~t~ble by visual in~pection, obviating the need for additional identification means.
Figs. 4A - 4B r~l~nt examples of identification means such as in Fig. 4A - letters in ~lph~heti~l order; Fig. 4B - symbols in a pres~1ected reco~ni7~hle sequence; Fig. 4C - colour sequence depicted either as discreet units of dirr~ ce colours or as in Fig. 4D a continuum as in colours of the rainbow.
In a further embo~iment, the identifit~ti~n numerals 28 may be integrally formed within the thermoplastics material at portion 18; or painted thereon or applied in some other suitable manner.
In a yet further embodiment, the heat-sealable material may comp~ise a heat-sensitive material which changes colour when heated, particularly to the melting point of the heat-sealable m~t~ri~l of the container. Such a colour change would enable rapid visual in~pection to detect the improper opening and res~ling thereof.
