Abstract

A components ( 17 ) packaging structure for pharmaceutical containers, comprising at least one tray ( 10 ), which has at least one open side for introducing and extracting at least one supporting shelf ( 11 ) which is parallel to a bottom plane ( 14 ) of the tray ( 10 ) and which rests in correspondence of the inner walls ( 15 ) of the tray ( 10 ); said supporting shelf ( 11 ) has a spatially predetermined distribution of first seats or cavities ( 13 ) within which closing components and/or generic accessories of said containers, such as rubber caps ( 17 ), nuts ( 20 ) with crimping snap or other types of sealing nuts and/or caps, are placed, so that the vertical axis of each closure component is perpendicular to said bottom plane ( 14 ) of the tray ( 10 ), said structure thus constituting a guarantee of sterility and cleanliness of said closing components and/or generic accessories which are inserted in said seats or cavities ( 13 ).

Claims (6)

1. Components packaging structure for pharmaceutical containers for pharmaceutical components, comprising at least one tray ( 10 ), which has at least one open side for introducing and extracting at least one first supporting flat shelf ( 11 ) which is parallel to a bottom plane ( 14 ) of the at least one tray ( 10 ), said packaging structure having inner walls ( 15 ), wherein said at least one first supporting flat shelf ( 11 ) is positioned lower than a second supporting shelf ( 12 ) and rests in correspondence of the inner walls ( 15 ) of said at least one tray ( 10 ) and has a spatially predetermined distribution of first seats or cavities ( 13 ) within which each of said first seats or cavities has closing components of said containers selected from rubber caps or plugs ( 17 ), and ferrules or nuts ( 20 ) with a crimping snap, so that a vertical axis of each closing component is perpendicular to said bottom plane ( 14 ) of the at least one tray ( 10 ), said structure thus constituting a sterile and clean environment, said at least one first supporting flat shelf ( 11 ) of said closing components selected from rubber caps or plugs ( 17 ), and ferrules or nuts ( 20 ) with a crimping snap is coupled with said second supporting shelf ( 12 ), which is parallel to said at least one first supporting flat shelf ( 11 ) of said closing components, and said second supporting shelf ( 12 ) has a prefixed spatially distribution of second seats or cavities ( 16 ) provided in correspondence of said first seats or cavities ( 13 ) of said at least one first supporting flat shelf ( 11 ) of said closing components, characterized in that additional closing components selected from said rubber caps or plugs ( 17 ) are inserted and held in position within said second seats or cavities ( 16 ) of said second supporting shelf ( 12 ) while aluminum or plastics seals or said ferrules or nuts ( 20 ) or snap-locking devices are placed within said first seats or cavities ( 13 ) of said at least one first supporting flat shelf ( 11 ).

2. Components packaging structure according to claim 1 , characterized in that said rubber caps or plugs ( 17 ) are placed in said second seats or cavities ( 16 ) and at an upper surface ( 18 ) of said second seats or cavities ( 16 ).

3. Components packaging structure according to claim 1 , characterized in that said open side of the at least one tray ( 10 ) is sealed by means of at least one filtering porous membrane.

4. Components packaging structure according to claim 1 , characterized in that said at least one tray ( 10 ) is enclosed within at least one protective enclosure, which is formed, at least partially, from a sheet made of a selectively permeable material.

5. Components packaging structure according to claim 4 , characterized in that said protective enclosure contains said at least one tray ( 10 ) and/or stacked said trays ( 10 ) and/or one or more of said at least one first supporting flat shelf ( 11 ) and second supporting shelf ( 12 ) of said containers and/or of said closing components.

6. Components packaging structure according to claim 1 , characterized in that between said second seats or cavities ( 16 ) of said second supporting shelf ( 12 ) respective shaped areas ( 19 ) are centered in the vertical direction between said at least one first supporting flat shelf ( 11 ) and said second supporting shelf ( 12 ) and between said first and second seats or cavities ( 13 , 16 ) of the respective at least one first supporting flat shelf ( 11 ) and second supporting shelf ( 12 ).
