Description

“DISPOSAL APPLIED ON MEDICINAL DOORS” This utility model application is aimed at the domestic or hospital sector and provides individuals who are dependent or not on medicines an efficient alternative for the control, separation and conditioning of pills, syrups, capsules and their package inserts, thus avoiding the exchange of medicines that may cause health risks or more serious problems for users.

Presently, pill holders or medication holders have stood out in the market because they facilitate the routine especially of older people who have difficulty in separating medications and meeting the schedules as prescribed by their doctor.

When it comes to configuration, all have divisions to prevent the merging of pills or the like. Some models offer seven divisions, each division being a day of the week; Other standards provide watches with audible alarms or LED (light-emitting diode) lamps to alert the user to take the medication at the prescribed time.

From the state of the art were found the records PI0404661-7, PI0414143-1, EP0191168B1, US5915558, US6662081, US6779663 and US20060071011 related to the packaging, organization of the alert and whether sound or light. 0 PI0404661-7 mentions a digital pill holder comprised of a pill holder container, digital clock panel and a second panel to indicate the user's medication period which, when programmed, will awaken in a given period by audible or vibration alarm. 04 PI0414143-1 describes a case with trays and covers for accommodating, storing and dispensing pills.

From international records, EP0191168 describes a drug storage device for reminding the patient of the need to take them, comprising a medicament container in the form of blister pack, stopwatch and activated signal emitter at adjustable time intervals. The foregoing US5915558 demonstrates an alarm clock tablet box and a sensor door providing access to a second enclosed space in which tablets are stored and removed. US6662081 describes a storage device having a display and holder for storing and distributing multiple drugs in an orderly manner. US6779663 features a pill box with various conditioner containers sorted by weekdays. Finally, US20060071011 mentions an electronic tablet dispenser with container, removable lid, power supply, clock, counter, monitor, timing mechanism, sensor, visual indicator, audible indicator, input / output interface, input port and output and a communication and electrical interconnection system of the components.

Looking at each record, with the exception of PI0414143-1 and US6779663, they report the use of electronic media in their designs, but the number of components becomes high, both electronic and mechanical, resulting in high costs in the manufacture of such apparatus. Thus, the acquisition of these devices becomes practically unfeasible for simple tasks practiced in everyday life and increases the chances of failures due to the multiple components combined.

Regarding the registers PI0414143-1 and US6779663, these are exempt from electronic means, however their configurations, in the form of horizontal cases, occupy significant spaces when stored, use complex hinges system and the containers or trays, where the drugs remain linked, They are surrounded by lids fitted with locks, which, instead of facilitating the user, ends up taking time to collect the medicine. From the manufacturing side, it is clear that both cases use significant amount of materials in the manufacturing process, automatically raising costs from production to the final consumer.

Realizing the limitations and problems of existing designs, an unprecedented, practical and visually harmonious configuration was developed, surpassing existing models due to their simplicity and providing consumers with an attractive and fully functional option. The following description seeks to highlight the proposal at the level of its principle, without being limited to the component designs, with reference to the following illustrations listed below: Figure 1, isometric view of the medicine holder illustrating its preferred arrangement and its components;

In accordance with Figure 1, the arrangement in question (1) may be made of polymer, metal or wood and is defined essentially by the support base (2) and vertical panel (5). The support base (2) is provided with lateral adjustments (3, 3.1 and 3.2) in the form of circular cavities or any other shape and conditioner support (4). The vertical panel (5) consists of identification devices (6 and 6.1) and upper (7) and lower (7.1) compartments holding divisions (8 and 8.1), upper openings (9 and 9.1) and wraps (10 and 10.1 ) attached over their front faces and equally provided with upper openings (11 and 11.1).

Regarding the functions of each element belonging to the support base (2), the lateral adjustments (3, 3.1 and 3.2) allow the insertion of containers such as syrups, bottles, water glasses or the like; the packing support (4) provides the individual with a space for storing leaflets or prescriptions provided by their doctor, facilitating the location and avoiding misplacement of papers.

In relation to the components of the vertical panel (5), the upper (7) and lower (7.1) compartments, separated by divisions (8 and 8.1), are in charge of storing the medicines to be taken, whether pills or capsules. Each compartment may represent a day of the week or a specific genre of medicine, and the number of compartments may vary depending on the user's need. The front wraps (10 and 10.1) are similar to the compartments, but have reduced size and thickness. The purpose of the wrappers is to provide the individual with a space for the insertion of papers, plates or part of the medication's own packaging indicating its name and / or the time stipulated for consumption. Finally, both identification devices 6 and 6.1, situated above their respective compartments, provide spaces for the insertion of hand-described or embossed stripes. The purpose of the tags is to indicate the type of medicine stored below, which can be permanent or temporary, thus preventing misunderstandings made by users.

In order to increase the medicine holder, it is possible to insert electronic means such as digital or analog clock (12) fixed on the front panel and integrated with LEDS system or light emitting diodes (13) (detail A of figure 1) installed in the compartments in order to to alert the user by audible or visual alarm.

It is worth remembering that the layout presented should be considered as merely illustrative, and may suffer variations in design and dimensions, but always respecting the inventive principles. The configuration applied in medicine carriers, seeking to assign a functional option to individuals who wish to effectively control medication intake, provides several advantages over the state of the art, such as compact configuration, requiring little space for being a vertical artifact, practicality. handling, ease of cleaning, quick and safe access to the medication, simplified format and attractive look. Due to these attributes and the effect caused, the disposition must certainly be worthy of the claimed inventive act.
