A blister pack system has an upper part and a bottom part, between which a blister pack is disposed. Pouches of the blister pack are aligned with corresponding ejection openings of the upper part and corresponding ejection openings of the bottom part. Every ejection opening of the upper part is associated with an individual contact surface that can be connected to a control/computing unit via an individual strip conductor. The system includes an ejection device, which at a top section has an electrical contact, and at a peg section an additional electrical contact which is electrically connected to the electrical contact of the top section. The individual contact surfaces and the individual strip conductors associated therewith, as well as a common contact surface and a common strip conductor associated therewith or a subsection thereof extend in surfaces of the upper part that are electrically isolated from each other.

Blister pack system which assures a reliable contact making when an item is removed

A blister pack system has a printed board, and the outside of the film of the blister pack has individual contact spots each assigned to a respective bag. Individual strip conductors run from each contact spot to a common conductor strip via the respective bag on the outside of the film. When a drag&#xe9;e is removed from a bag, the strip conductor assigned to the bag is interrupted. The printed board has perforations corresponding to the pattern of the bags and contact spots corresponding to the pattern of the contact spots of the blister pack. The contact spots of the board are directed towards the contact spots of the pack while the perforations of the board are directed towards the bags of the board. An edge area of the printed board has connecting contact spots each connected to a contact spot of the printed board via an individual strip conductor.

Blister pack system

A device for detecting the removal of a product from a packing system by an electronic unit. The products are arranged in individual bags which are sealed by a sealing film that can be perforated so as to remove a product from a bag. The device has a combination of layers including at least one supporting plate and a coating layer which is applied thereto. The combination of layers is connected to the packing system in such a way that the coating layer faces the sealing film. The coating layer is provided with individual strip conductors, each of which runs across an area that is assigned to a bag and is electrically interrupted when a product is removed from the respective bag. The supporting plate includes openings, each of which is assigned to a bag. A product which is removed from a bag is guided through the respective opening.

Device for detecting the removal of a product from a packing system by an electronic unit

A holding device for pharmaceutical blisters has an upper part and a lower part between which a pharmaceutical blister is disposed. Ejection openings are disposed in both the upper part and the lower part in a pattern that corresponds to the pattern of the contained drag&#xe9;es. An ejection device that can execute a linear movement and/or a rotary movement in relation to the upper part has an ejection ram, which optionally can be guided into a certain ejection opening of the upper part to remove a corresponding drag&#xe9;e. The ejection device has a contact element, which in the desired ejection position short-circuits a pair of contact points with a contact field to display the desired ejection position. The contact field for each possible ejection position short-circuits only one pair of contact points corresponding to the desired ejection position through the contact field.

Receiving device for drug blisters

The invention relates to a device for storing and for reminding/recording the intake of drugs, arranged in a drug packaging, which is designed as individual packaging segments, which form individual pockets, holding individual drug dosages (tablets, pills, powder dosages, liquid dosages), and which are made of foil and lie in succession in the longitudinal direction. The drug packaging is guided in the device and can be transported by means of a feed in the device. The device exhibits guide elements, which are arranged along the line of a peripheral guide track and there are drive elements, by means of which the drug packaging can be fed incrementally to a removal-ejecting mechanism in which a drug dosage can be ejected through a removal window at essentially right angles to the guide track by means of an ejecting element.

Device for storing and for reminding and / or recording the intake of drugs

A device is described for storing and periodically signalling the time for taking drugs, consisting of a drug container in the form of a blister pack and having a signal emitter activated in settable time intervals. The signal emitter is an electric timer having an audio signal emitter and/or an optical signal indicator and an electrically activated input receiving an electrical starting pulse at the time when a first drug dose is removed from the pack. Sensors responding to the removal of the drug doses provide the electrical pulse. The device is designed so that commercially available drug containers may be used without alteration. For this purpose the device has a supporting frame which at least partially encloses the marginal zone or edge of the drug container, and which, owing to its at least partially open design at the bottom, permits dispensing of the drug doses from the drug container which is inserted in the supporting frame. The supporting frame supports the signal emitter as well as the sensors with an arrangement of the sensors conforming to the arrangement of the drug doses in the drug container. The sensors are arranged either on the supporting frame itself or on a sensor support adapted to be inserted in the supporting frame or secured on the frame.

Device for storing and signalling the time for taking drugs

A device is described for storing, and periodically announcing the time for removal of, drug doses in pill, tablet or capsule form. A patient is warned at regular intervals to remove a drug dose from a blister pack serving as drug container. An electronic timer system associated with the blister pack activates periodically a signal emitter which emits a preferably acoustic signal. Optionally an optical signal emitter can also be installed in the warning ystem. The system comprises an electrically activatable input which receives a starting pulse at the time when a first drug dose is to be removed from the blister pack. The starting pulse is generated by rupturing, through removal of a drug dose from a blister pocket, an electric pulse lead which extends across the blister pocket in the rupturable closing foil of the latter and which is connected to the starting pulse input of the timer in the warning system.
