Embodiment Construction

[0017] figure 1 A schematic, partly cutaway illustration shows a two-part capsule 20 , as it is used, for example, in the field of medicine or in the field of nutritional supplements, and which contains the active ingredient substance in the filled state. In the filled and closed state it is intended to be swallowed by a person. Various materials such as hard gelatin, HPMC etc. come into consideration as capsule material, which dissolve after swallowing and release the capsule content.

[0018] A two-part capsule is assembled from an upper capsule part 21 and a lower capsule part 22, wherein, with the lower part - nominal diameter d U The lower part of the capsule 22 is pushed into the upper part with a larger - nominal diameter D O In the open side of the upper part 21 of the capsule. In a typical construction, the capsule upper part 21 is formed by a hemispherical cap 23 , to which a cylindrical section 24 adjoins. The capsule top 21 is delimited on its open side by a su...

The capsule closure device (1) comprises a capsule upper portion receiving member (2) and a capsule lower portion receiving member (3). The capsule upper portion receiving member (2) has a receiving hole (4) and an introduction hole (5) which is arranged coaxially relative to the receiving hole (4). The capsule upper portion receiving member (2) has at the inner side (11) thereof between the receiving hole (4) and the introduction hole(5) a support shoulder (6) for supporting the capsule upper portion (21). The capsule upper portion receiving member (2) has at the inner side (11) thereof at the introduction hole (5) at least one ventilation hole (9).

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a capsule closing device for closing a two-part capsule. Background technique [0002] In particular in the field of medicine, but also in the field of nutritional supplements and the like, swallowable capsules are used, the cavity of which active ingredient substances etc. are filled. Such capsules are designed in two parts and consist of a capsule lower part and a capsule upper part inserted thereon. Popular capsule materials are hard gelatin, HPMC (hydroxypropyl methylcellulose) and the like. [0003] Empty capsules are provided for filling in a loosely inserted state and fed to the capsule closure. It comprises a capsule upper receptacle and a capsule lower receptacle, wherein empty capsules inserted loosely together first come into the capsule upper receptacle. Proceeding from this, the capsule lower part is pulled out of the capsule upper part, for example by means of low pressure, and inserted into the capsule lower r...
