Definitions

  • the present invention is directed to a preformed, sealed package containing a predetermined quantity of a composition for constitution into a solution of known concentration. More particularly, the present invention is directed to a soluble package or container which contains a predetermined quantity of a soluble composition such that the entire package can be reconstituted into a solution of known concentration by placing the package containing the composition into a suitable solvent such as water.
  • the present invention is directed to a package of soluble material that substantially obviates one or more of the problems, limitations and disadvantages of the prior art.
  • the invention comprises a package of soluble materials for constituting a solution of known composition, wherein, a predetermined quantity of a soluble composition is disposed within a soluble container such that both the composition and the container when placed in a specified quantity of solvent, dissolves to produce the solution of known composition.
  • the soluble package In some cases its is desirable to include within the soluble package two discrete materials which interact if in direct contact. So to avoid a premature interaction of the discrete materials, one such material is contained within an inner soluble package which is smaller than and fits inside an outer soluble package. The other such material is contained within the outer soluble package.
  • the outer soluble package dissolves first releasing its material into the solvent. Seconds later, as the solvent reaches and dissolves the inner soluble package, its contents are released into the solvent but after a brief interval, so that the content of the inner package never comes into direct contact with the undissolved material of the outer package.
  • Figure 1 is a perspective view of a sealed, soluble package containing a soluble, solid composition in accordance with the invention.
  • Figure 2 is a side view of a soluble capsule containing a soluble material in accordance with the present invention.
  • Figure 3 is a side view of a soluble capsule containing a soluble material in accordance with the present invention and an inner soluble capsule containing a discrete soluble material.
  • a unitary package of soluble material for constituting a solution of known composition in which a predetermined quantity of one or more soluble components is disposed within a soluble sealed container such that both the composition and the container when placed in a quantity of suitable solvent dissolved to produce the solution of known composition.
  • a soluble bag-like package 1 is shown containing a soluble material 3 and sealed at one end 2 to provide a closed container.
  • the quantity of the soluble, material 7 is known having been weighed in advance.
  • a gram molecular weight of a particular compound might be included in a sealed water soluble package for placement in one liter of water in order to constitute a one mole solution.
  • multiples of this amount could also be packaged for constitution into either a greater volume of solution or a solution of greater or lesser concentration.
  • Figure 2 of the drawings illustrates an alternative embodiment of the invention wherein the water soluble composition is placed in water soluble, two part capsule 4.
  • the capsule consists of a body portion 5 having a cap 6 which slides over the body portion 5 to form a closed unitary container holding the water soluble composition 7.
  • the structure of the capsule in accordance with the invention is the same as found in ordinary gelatin capsules used for encapsulating medicinal materials.
  • the particular soluble components placed in the capsule and the quantities of these components will be essentially the same as heretofore described with respect to package or envelope of Figure 1 of the drawings.
  • the particular water soluble package employed to enclose the predetermined quantity of soluble composition in accordance with the invention can be any suitable material which is soluble in the solvent being employed, typical materials for use in constituting aqueous solutions are polyvinyl alcohol for the envelope and gelatin for the capsule.
  • Important considerations in selecting the material from which the package itself is to be constituted will be the solvent into which the package is to be placed as well as the compatibility of the dissolved package with the soluble composition.
  • the soluble composition when the soluble composition is dissolved, it should not undergo any chemical reaction or undesirable bonding with the dissolved package, particularly if this would have an affect upon the ultimate concentration or composition of the solution. It will also be important that the packaging material not react with the solid component placed within it.
  • a soluble package or capsule 4 comprised of a bottom portion 5 and a cap portion 6.
  • An inner capsule 8 is proportioned to fit within the outer capsule 4.
  • the inner capsule 8 contains one discrete chemical substance 9 while the remaining volume of the capsule 4 contains a second discrete chemical substance 7.
