Definitions

  • This invention relates to dispensers for delivering fluids especially pharmaceuticals and other medical treatments in liquid, solution or suspension form, as well as perfumes and other skin products, to the bodies of people and animals.
  • treatment includes pre-treatments of persons to minimise their risk of reaction if subsequently exposed, for example, to hazardous gases.
  • a dispenser for spraying a fluid onto a body part comprises apertures in a hoop, C- or U- structure from which apertures the fluid may be sprayed onto a body part placed in the dispenser, and in which the apertures are connected to a source of fluid to be dispensed under pressure through a manifold, and having one or a plurality of tubes connecting the manifold to the apertures and in which the flow rate of the fluid from one aperture is substantially the same as that from another aperture located further away from the source of fluid under pressure.
  • the dispenser further comprises a pump, a container, and a fluid connection between the container and the pump connecting the container to the pump, the pump connected to one or a plurality of tubes connected to the apertures in which the flow rate of the fluid from one aperture is substantially the same as that from another aperture located further away from the pump.
  • a dispenser for spraying a fluid onto a body part comprising a pair of concentric semi-circular arms, the arms being pivoted together at the proximal ends of each arm, apertures from which a fluid may be sprayed onto a body part within the hoop, a fluid connection to connect a container containing the fluid to the inlet of a pump; the pump connected to one or a plurality of tubes in turn connecting to the apertures, and in which the flow rate of the fluid is substantially the same from one aperture as from another aperture located further away from the pump.
  • the pump is connected to the tube(s) through am manifold.
  • the inner surface of the hoop or surfaces of the arms in one arrangement, has sensors connected to a programmable chip which open and closes access to one or more of the tubes from the manifold to the apertures, in response to the presence and orientation of a body part inserted in the dispenser.
  • the dispenser is coupled directly to a container containing fluid to be dispensed under pressure.
  • Figures 1 and 2 show perspective views of one example of a dispenser according to the invention
  • Figure 3 is a section on the line A-A’ of figure 1;
  • Figure 4 is a schematic view of the dispenser of figures 1 and 2 partially sectioned on the line B-B’ of figure 1A;
  • Figure 5 is similar to figure 4 but illustrates a further development of the dispenser shown in figures 1 to 4;
  • Figure 6 is a section on the line C-C’ of figure 5;
  • Figure 7 shows a dispenser similar to that of figure 5 but with treatment supplied directly from a pressurised container.
  • a fluid connection 37 connects a container 32 mounted in receiver 55 and containing the fluid through an upstanding nipple 34 to the inlet 40 of a pump 31.
  • the pump 31 has an outlet 33 which is connected a manifold 25.

  • the tubes 23A, 23B 23C and 23D are mounted in grooves 22 in the inner surfaces of the arms 47 and 48.
  • Each individual tube 23A, 23B, 23C 23D connects an individual aperture 52A, 52B 52C and 52D to the manifold 25.
  • the flow rate of the fluid from one aperture is substantially the same as that from another aperture.
  • the ends 27A, 27B, 27C, 27D of the tubes 23 terminate with nozzles 52A, 52B, 52C, 52D which form the apertures. Self-sealing slits could replace the nozzles in this and other examples.
  • the arms 47 and 48 are opened and a body part inserted between their distal ends 49.
  • the body part can be substantially larger, such a thigh, chest or shoulder than could be inserted in hoop 21 of figures 1 to 4.
  • a short length of tube 39 of silicon rubber or other suitable material connects the pump connector 38 to the pump inlet 40.
  • the pump 31 has an outlet 33 to which is connected the manifold 25.

  • operation of the pump is controlled by a programmable chip 44 connected to a battery and a sensor 53 to detect when a body part has been inserted.
  • the chip may be programmed to operate only at particular times of day, and/or after a particular time interval has elapsed from a previous treatment to prevent an overdose, and/or when a container with a particular bar code, which is read by a bar-code reader is mounted on nipple 34.
  • a series of sensors 53 is distributed around the inner surfaces of the arms 47 and 48 (sensors of this kind can also be distributed around the inside of hoop 21 in figures 1 to 4).

  • the switch 42 can be operated through an aperture 43 in the base plate.
  • the aperture 43 may house a flexible rubber cover which allows the switch 42 to be operated but which keeps dirt and moisture away from the inside of the base.
  • user operation of the switch 42 is prevents and there is no external access to it.
  • connections between the sensors 53 and chip 44 are omitted.
  • the programming of chip 44 will follow standard practices in the field of image recognition.
  • the skilled person will be able readily to identify possible alternative configurations for the container mounting and/or pump for this invention.
  • the hoops or arms need not be circular or semi-circular, and could be square, elliptical or any other suitable shape.
  • the chip 44 not only enables control of the spray, but for medical purposes recording, for example, of the times of treatment, to enable medical professionals to monitor whether the patient is regularly undertaking the treatments, it could go further and set off a reminder or an alarm if a pre-programmed treatment is missed, for example.
  • the alarm can be local to the patient, or remote at control centre, a medical centre or hospital.
  • the chip can be programed to dispense different amounts of treatment to different patients or to operate different treatment regimes for different patients; the patient being identified by use of different switches, or input codes or other recognition system.
  • An IR lamp and detector, other motion sensor may be incorporated to prevent the system from operating unless a body part was present in the hoop, or between the distal ends of the arms 47 and 48 of figures 5 and 6.
  • a battery 41 is used, this could be a long life conventional battery or a rechargeable battery such as an Li-ion battery; or the battery replaced by a mains supply stepped down to a safe voltage by a transformer, with a rechargeable battery back-up – for many domestic applications this may be the preferred option as it avoids loss of power as a result of batteries being discharged. For field operations this would not be practicable and battery power would be used.
  • apertures in the form of both nozzles and self-sealing slits have been described and these can be interchanged in the examples.
  • the tubes can be of different diameters.
  • a single tubes whose diameter changes as it passes through each arm 47 and 48 in figures 5 and 6 or each side of the hoop 21 in figures 1 to 4 can be used instead to similar effect.
  • the tubes can be moulded as part of a moulding for the hoop 21 of figures 1 to 4 or the arms 47 and 48 in in the devices of figures 5 and 6.
  • Examples of applications of the device include spray treatments of arthritis, burns, venous ulcers, chronic wounds/ infections, eczema and other exfoliating conditions, and in trauma, eradication of MRSA from patients and ward staff/visitors, and disinfection. It can also be used for spray on wound sealing and dressings. A particular use is in treatment or applying temporary spray on dressings to patients in emergency evacuations.
  • the range of products that may be applied using the device includes, disinfectant/cleaning agents (such as iodine), medicinal agents (e.g. coagulants, repair stimulants, antibiotics, analgesics, anti-inflammatory agents), protective layers (to protect wound from air/infection/abrasion, to prevent loss of body fluids and loss of drugs), Immobilisers (e.g. plaster or polymer).
