Definitions

  • the presently disclosed and claimed inventive concepts generally relate to an apparatus for administering medication, and more particularly to premeasured dosing of medication.
  • medication to be dispensed in small amounts is often sold in large containers and sent in shipments that may require refrigeration.
  • the cost of a relatively small amount of medication is increased by the cost of transporting the medication to the desired location and storing the medication.
  • the individual needing to use medication is required to purchase a greater amount of medication than is actually needed. In these circumstances the cost of the more-than-needed medication can be prohibitive for the individual.
  • the administration of medication often requires more time, knowledge, or precision than an individual is able to apply to the administration of medication. When this occurs, an individual could measure and utilize the medication inappropriately. As a result, individuals may become ill from taking too much of the medication or find that the medication is ineffective against the disease to be treated when improperly-small dosages of the medications are administered. This in turn can lead to a variety of otherwise-avoidable health issues including sickness, discomfort, pain, irritability, and even death to individuals who fail to take the proper medication at the proper times or in the proper amounts.
  • US 2011/178459 discloses a twistable dispenser having a first chamber containing a first material and a second chamber containing a second material.
  • the present dispenser is a dispensing system for dispensing pre-measured doses of selected materials, particularly medications, in a safe and effective manner and in any of a variety of circumstances.
  • the dispenser can be utilized by individuals with little to no medical training and without the need to measure medications to be dispensed.
  • the dispenser includes a first chamber containing a first fluid, such as a reconstituting liquid, and a second chamber containing a second material, such as a medication powder.
  • the first chamber has first screw threads lining an external area.
  • the first chamber further has an open top end that is covered by a breakable membrane. For additional protection during transport the breakable membrane is covered by a breakaway tab. The breakaway tab is removed by a user prior to use.
  • the second chamber has second screw threads lining an internal area.
  • the second chamber further has a break-off tip, which, when removed defines an opening.
  • Contained within the second chamber is a breaker ring having a lower edge configured to break the breakable membrane.
  • the second chamber further has a plug that creates a seal with the breaker ring. This plug prevents contamination getting into the container and prevents material within the container from getting around the lower edge of the breaker ring and occupying the space between the breaker ring and the second screw threads.
  • the first and second screw threads are configured to interact with one another such that the first and second chambers can be joined via the screw threads.
  • the first chamber and second chamber are twistable, relative to one another, to move the chambers closer to or further away from one another.
  • the first chamber and second chamber are to be twisted into an extended position in which the lower edge of the breaker ring is situated so as to be above the breakable membrane.
  • the first chamber and second chamber can then be twisted relative to each other to bring the lower edge of the breaker ring into forced contact with the breakable membrane, eventually resulting in breakage of the breakable membrane. Additional twisting of the first chamber and second chamber relative to one another transitions the dispenser to a compact position. In the compact position the first fluid within the first chamber and the second material within the second chamber are able to join into a mixture. When the break-off tip is removed, the mixture can be forced out of the dispenser to be administered to a patient.
  • the two chambers of the dispenser can be unconnected from one another and the material within the second chamber, which is medication in a powder form, dispensed by removing the plug and emptying the second chamber via the open bottom end of the chamber, without having to open the break-off tip.
  • the material within the first chamber can be separately dispensed, when the two chambers of the dispenser arc unconnected, by breaking the breakable membrane and emptying the contents of the first chamber via the open top end of the first chamber.
  • this dispenser allows a pre-measured dosage of medication to be administered without having to use separate medication delivery devices and without the necessity of separately or carefully measuring the material to be dispensed. Having the material to be dispensed contained within one device lessens the risk of spillage and waste of the material. Further, the dispenser is used with only easy manipulation of a simple safe device as no external sharp objects need be utilized. Thus, the dispenser can be utilized in a broad variety of circumstances by individuals with little or no training, either in medicine or in use of the dispenser.
  • embodiments of the dispensing system provide a system for storing, transporting, and eventually dispensing a pre-measured amount of a mixture of material, such as a medication mixture, where such mixture is originally stored in two separated containers.
  • a mixture of material such as a medication mixture
  • medication in a solid, powder form can be kept separate from a reconstituting fluid, but in containers quickly and easily combined to provide for mixture of the substances before dispensing of the same without having to use separate dispensing devices and without having to have medical or technological training.
  • the dispensing system includes a dispenser 12.
  • the dispenser 12 includes a first chamber 26 that has an open top end 24.
  • First screw threads 36 line an upper area of the first chamber 26's external surface 22.
  • the first chamber 26 is at least partially compressible, preferably laterally compressible.
  • the first chamber 26 contains a first material, such as a fluid.
  • the first material is a fluid, specifically a reconstituting fluid.
  • the reconstituting fluid is a liquid such as water.
  • the reconstituting fluid is a gas such as air.
  • the open top end 24 is covered by a breakable membrane 30 (shown in Figure 4 ).
  • the breakable membrane 30 closes off the open top end 24 so that the reconstituting fluid is contained within the first chamber 26.
  • the breakable membrane 30 is further covered by a removable tab.
  • a removable tab provides additional protection to breakable membrane 30 during transport and prevents accidental connection of the chambers 26, 28.
  • the dispenser 12 of the invention further includes a second chamber 28 that has an open bottom end.
  • Second screw threads 46 line a lower area of the second chamber 28's internal surface.
  • the second screw threads 46 are recessed within the wall of the second chamber 28. This minimizes the bulk of the second chamber 28 and thus the bulk of the dispenser 12 itself.
  • Contained within the second chamber 28 is a second material, the second material is a medication in a solid, powder form. In other arrangements, the second material is a second fluid, such as a medication in liquid form.
  • the second chamber 28 further includes a break-off tip 16 (shown in Figure 7 ) that is broken off by a user to form an opening, preferably at the upper-most portion of the second chamber 28.
  • the break-off tip 16 uses a ring 60 attached to the break-off tip 16 to allow a user to insert a finger for improved leverage, alternatively, a solid flat disc can be used to allow a user to grasp the disc and twist until the tip breaks away from the dispenser, or other suitable devices can be used.
  • the second chamber 28 can be configured to allow administration of the desired medication through either oral or nasal pathways once the break-off tip 16 is removed.
  • the dispenser 12 further includes a breaker ring 40 within the second chamber 28, situated above the second screw threads 46.
  • plug 56 is included (as shown in Figure 7 ).
  • Plug 56 can be configured to screw into second screw threads 46, press-fit into open bottom end 38 and held by friction, or other means of adhering plug 56 within open bottom end 38.
  • Plug 56 is configured to prevent contamination of the second material by external matter and to prevent travel of the second material from inside said second chamber 28, around the lower edge and into the space between said breaker ring 40 and second screw threads 46.
  • the plug 56 is a long cylindrical member 58 having a length great enough to extend from the open bottom end 30 to breaker ring 40. Cylindrical member 58 as a diameter large enough to filly cover breaker rind 40. In one embodiment, cylindrical member 58 is held in place by friction with second screw threads 46. As one possible alternative, cylindrical member 58 is held to breaker ring 40 through suction. In another embodiment, cylindrical member 58 has third screw threads on its exterior which interact with second screw threads 46 to hold cylindrical member 58 in place.
  • the second screw threads 46 of the second chamber 28 are configured to correspond with the first screw threads 36 of the first chamber 26 such that the second chamber 28 and first chamber 26 are configured to be selectively joinable to one another via interaction of the first screw threads 36 and second screw threads 46 (see figure 1 ).
  • the first chamber 26 and second chamber 28 are configured to be selectively disconnected from one another via interaction of the first screw threads 36 and the second screw threads 46.
  • the screw threads 36, 46 are configured such that a clockwise rotation of the first chamber 26 relative to the second chamber 28 will draw the two chambers 26, 28 into closer proximity with one another while a counterclockwise rotation of the first chamber 26 relative to the second chamber 28 will move the two chambers 26, 28 further away from one another, eventually disconnecting the chambers 26, 28 from one another.
  • twisting the second chamber 28 relative to the first chamber 26 to join the two together effectively closes the second chamber 28 to prevent the material within, such as a medication, from leaving the dispenser 12.
  • first chamber 26 and second chamber 28 are joined and arranged in an extended position, shown in Figures land 2, in which the narrow lower edge of the breaker ring 40 is external to the second chamber 28 and is not in contact with the breakable membrane 30.
  • the first chamber 26 and second chamber 28 are further twistable, relative to one another, via interaction of the second screw threads 46 and first screw threads 36, so that the second chamber 28 and first chamber 26 are brought into closer proximity to one another. Enough twisting eventually transitions the dispenser 12 to a compact position, shown in Figure 5 . In the compact position, the narrow lower edge of the breaker ring 40 is received within the open top end 24 of the first chamber 26.
  • the narrow lower edge of the breaker ring 40 is brought into forced contact with the breakable membrane 30 covering the open top end 24 of the first chamber 26. Additional twisting results in the narrow lower edge breaking the breakable membrane 30.
  • the breakable membrane 30 is broken, the first chamber 26 and second chamber 28 form a joined chamber within the dispenser 12. Accordingly, the medication that was originally contained within the second chamber 28 and the reconstituting fluid 32 that was originally contained with the first chamber 26 can mix and form a medication mixture. Ideally, the medication may be shaken or otherwise agitated to encourage mixing of the medication and reconstituting fluid 32 between the two chambers 26, 28.
  • first screw threads 36 of the first chamber 26 and the second screw threads 46 of the second chamber 28 are configured to form a fluid-tight seal so that, once the breakable membrane 30 is broken, none of the reconstituting fluid 32 or medication mixture will unintentionally leave the dispenser 12.
  • the breaker ring 40 of the first depicted embodiment, shown in Figure 6 includes a narrow lower edge that is smooth and even along its edge.
  • the narrow lower edge defines a lower plane that is essentially parallel to an upper plane defined by the wide upper edge.
  • Such lower plane and upper plane are also essentially parallel to the middle plane defined by the peripheral protrusion.
  • the breaker ring 40 of the invention includes a narrow lower edge that has a protruding member.
  • the protruding member is configured to break the breakable membrane 30 upon forced contact with the breakable membrane 30.
  • the protruding member is a sharp point.
  • forced contact of the tip of the sharp point with the breakable membrane 30 will result in first a puncturing of the breakable membrane 30 followed by a general breakage of the breakable membrane 30 as the breaker ring 40 is brought into further forced contact with the breakable membrane 30 as the first chamber 26 and second chamber 28 are twisted relative to one another.
  • the breaker ring 40 includes a number of protruding members along the narrow lower edge.
  • the breaker ring 40 of an alternative embodiment includes a narrow lower edge that is smooth and even along its edge. Further the narrow lower edge defines a lower plane that is not parallel to an upper plane defined by the wide upper edge Rather, the narrow lower edge of the breaker ring 40, according to the third depicted embodiment, slants such that one area of the narrow lower edge will come into contact with the breakable membrane 30 first, before the other areas of the narrow lower edge as the dispenser 12 is transitioned between the extended position and the compact position. As such, the forced interaction of the narrow lower edge and the breakable membrane 30 will, at least at first, be concentrated on the lowest area of the narrow lower edge , encouraging breakage of the breakable membrane 30 in that area of contact.
  • the break-off tip 16 can be removed so as to form an opening 34. Thereafter, the first chamber 26 may be compressed so as to force the medication mixture out of the first chamber 26, through the breaker ring 40, and out of the second chamber 28 via the opening 34. In some situations, the first chamber 26 is compressed due to physical squeezing of the first chamber 26. In other situations, the first chamber 26 is compressed due to the application of suction within the dispenser 12.
  • the dispenser 12 is further configured such that the material within the first chamber 26 can be dispensed without removing the break-off tip 16. That is, the first, chamber 26 and second chamber 28 can be selectively disconnected from one another via twisting in the opposite direction that one would twist to transition the dispenser 12 from the extended position to the compact position. This twisting will eventually separate the two chambers 26, 28 from each other. Thereafter, the material within the second chamber 28, such as the medication, can be emptied via the open bottom end 38.
  • the breakable membrane 30 can be broken with means other than the breaker ring 40, such as by application of pressure with a finger or fingernail against the breakable membrane 30 or with the use of a separate puncturing device, so as to make accessible the open top end 24.
  • the material within the first chamber 26 can be emptied via the open top end 24. Accordingly, separation of the two chambers 26, 28 from one another provides an option for dispensing of the medication to a patient without mixing the materials contained separately in chamber 26 and chamber 28. Further, the separation of the two chambers 26, 28 allows a user to refill or replace material within one or the other chamber 26, 28 before or without mixing the materials.
  • the medication within the second chamber 28 is a solid powder. In other arrangements, the medication is in fluid form. In still other arrangements, the material within the second chamber 28 is a non-medicinal material. Further, according to the depicted embodiments, the second chamber 28 is made up of a translucent plastic that is noncompressible. Also according to the depicted embodiments, the first chamber 26 tapers in width along the lower part of the first chamber 26 such that the open top end 24 is broader than the bottom edge 52. In this way, the tapering section forms a handle. As it is preferred that the first chamber 26 be compressible, according to the depicted embodiments, the first chamber 26 is preferably compressible laterally, such that the individual dispensing the medication would squeeze along the tapering area.
