Definitions

  • Dispenser devices having multiple compartments for separately enclosed materials to be mixed prior to use are disclosed in U.S. patents 3,340,873, 3,354,883, 3,397,694, 3,411,503, 4,331,146, 4,412,836, 4,330,531 and 4,950,237. These systems are complex, contain many parts, and are expensive to manufacture.
  • This invention relates to fluid dispensing devices in which constituents of the fluid mixture can be maintained in isolation from one another and in which the separated constituents can be mixed in vitro , when desired, by placing the constituents in communication with one another.
  • a dislodgeable holder serves to maintain separation of the mixture components but can be dislodged by a plunger which is activated by the depression of the flexible bottom of the device.
  • a plunger which is activated by the depression of the flexible bottom of the device.
  • the body of the dispenser which may be provided with a removable cap, can thereafter be squeezed thereby causing droplet, flow or jet of mixed fluid to be emitted from an outlet nozzle of the dispenser.
  • the dispenser includes a septum to permit withdrawal of the mixed substances using a hypodermic needle or the like.
  • Figure 1 is a cross-sectional side elevation of the dispenser device of this invention before mixing the components.
  • Figure 2 is a cross-sectional side elevation of the dispenser device of this invention after mixing the components.
  • the dispenser device of the present invention preferably is made of a plastic material, for example, low density polyethylene, by a conventional blow molding technique to produce the bottom and mid body section, inserting the tablet containing means, and subsequently molding the body section to produce the upper section of the dispenser device. If, however, the neck is sufficiently wide to permit insertion of the holder device, the entire bottle can be made in one step. It is to be understood that the present invention is not limited to the specific material from which the dispenser device of the present invention is made, or the particular process by which it is made as it will be understood by those skilled in the art that many different materials and various manufacturing techniques may be employed.
  • the dispensing device of the present invention has a bellows bottom to permit in situ mixing of the contents at time of use, and a dropper dispenser tip calibrated to deliver predetermined amount of solution. Both bellows bottom vials and dropper dispenser tips are known in the art.
  • the dispensing device of the present invention comprises a bottle means 10 having bellows bottom 11 and dispenser means 12, for example, a dropper tip.
  • Bottle 10 is filled with a liquid 13, such as, for example, a physiologically acceptable ophthalmic liquid.
  • Tablet holding means 14 is an enlongated member having a cut-out section 15 for holding a solid medicament 16.
  • the holding means 14 may have a constant, or tapered cross section and the circumference or outer wall of holding means 14 may be circular or non-circular, e.g., cylindrical or oval.
  • the holding 14 means 14 preferably has a tapered cross section, such as, for example, a frustoconical member, to facilitate both seating and unseating against seating means 19.
  • a push member 17 extends from the bottom of member 15 to or near to the bottom of bottle 10.
  • Seating means 19 has inner wall 20 that is complementary in shape to the outer wall of member 14 and is thereby adapted to form a seal preventing liquid 13 from contacting medicament 16.
  • Seating means 19 is held by one or more support means 21 extending from shoulder 22 of bottle 10 to the member 15.
  • the bottom of support 21 is provided with flange means 23 to prevent seating means 19 from movement. In this position cut-out section 15 is surrounded by inner walls 20 of seating means 21 and is not in contact with liquid 13.
