Description

CONTAINER HAVING TWO OR MORE COMPARTMENTS}

It is stored in dry particulate matter (powder) for various uses for humans and mixed with the liquid just before use to make up the net solution or dispersant. This is the case with various nutritional prescriptions, including breast milk substitutes (infant prescriptions), adult dietary prescriptions such as dietary powders and various medications such as antibiotics. The shelf life of this mixed prescription is limited, indicating that it is necessary to prepare the preparation only immediately before use. Since the activity of the active ingredient in the composition is also lost, for example, once the active ingredient is mixed with the liquid, oxidation and hydrolysis are accelerated and the activity is lost, thus limiting the shelf life of the mixed formulation. In many cases, mixed preparations are also susceptible to microbial contamination.

For example, when applied in various formulations, including antibiotics and antibiotics for newborns, the exact amount (weight and volume) of dry particulate matter is mixed with the correct amount (weight and volume) of liquid when preparing a synthetic formulation. It is important. Large or small quantities of the required ingredients change their proportions and change the final formulation, but within an approximation error so as to have the proper effect. For example, in infant formulas, mixed liquid preparations may become thin if they are not dry enough, and children may become malnourished in this case, and mixed liquid preparations may be too concentrated in too dry preparations. Congestion may cause digestive problems and vomiting.

Under hygienic conditions and sterile conditions, the two compartments need to be filled, stored and mixed and the two compartments will be properly sterilized and of appropriate quality.

Pediatric prescription preparations in homes and clinics provide washed and sterilized bottles and nipples, and measure a large amount of powdered (dry particles) material from the canister to add a moderately measured amount of water (usually tap water), salt solution or milk Place in washed and sterilized bottles. This nipple is then attached and the two components are stirred to make a mixed liquid formulation. Large amounts of drugs, for example antibiotics, are formulated in a similar manner by pharmaceutical practitioners or end users.

The formulations prepared by mixing the two components have a short shelf life, or where the quantity, quality or sterility of the components is considered important in the formulation preparation, until the mixed formulation is dispensed. A single container capable of storing the components separately allows the two components to be mixed within the container and allows the mixed formulation to be dispensed from the container. In this case, the container is preferably packaged in advance, preferably used for one-time use by the end user, and it is desirable that the container cannot be used after one use. This storage and dispensing container provides end users with convenience, stability and cost savings.

First, the prepackaged two-compartment storage and dispensing container is convenient because it has two components of the mixed formulation, which are supplied quantitatively so that one-time use of the container always ready to be mixed is readily available. In this way, a traveler can travel with the desired number of pre-packaged containers and do not have to weigh two or more components, without having to worry about losing one of the components of the preparation while traveling. Preparations can be mixed. Pre-packaged containers filled and packaged under appropriate conditions, individually stored for easy mixing, and adjustable to allow mixing and dispensing of the final composition provide the end user with a complete system.

Second, disposable two-compartment storage and dispensing containers are packaged in a manufacturing plant where the sterilization of the environment and the sterilization of each component and mixing vessel can be controlled to provide stability. And, if previously packaged in a disposable container at the manufacturing facility, the amount of each of the two individual components can be controlled by precise metering.

Containers are known which have two sections which are mixed together prior to use, i.e. a separate section for storing liquid and dry particulate matter. This two-compartment container has a destructible and movable partition between two compartments. This bulkhead is broken or displaced for mixing.

A problem with the known two-compartment container structure is that the process of assembling, filling and packing is complicated. This is complicated by the need to assemble internal bulkheads, which have limited access to the container openings and are designed to be fragile or easily displaceable. There is therefore a need for a two-compartment container that can be easily fabricated, can simplify the assembly, filling and packaging process and provides easy and reliable operation.

The present invention relates to a container having two compartments and in particular a disposable two-compartment container, each compartment holding a separate component, for example a liquid or solid component, which is mixed with each other by the end user prior to use.

The present invention provides two or more disposable compartment containers for storing two or more components to be mixed prior to use, which disperse the final formulation formed by mixing the two or more components and are no longer reused.

A container according to a first embodiment of the invention is:

A housing having a dispensing opening, a lower end and a neck portion between the opening and the lower end; And

Consisting of a displacement member disposed within the housing having a partition suitable for forming a seal to prevent fluid from leaking in the neck portion to define two compartments separated by a portion of the partition,

The displacement member may move axially between two positions along an axis extending through the neck portion, the two positions flowing between the two compartments and a first position where the fluid-sealed portion is formed in the neck portion; So that the partition wall is separated from the neck portion.

The neck portion divides the vessel into two compartments, one spaced apart from the opening defining the first compartment, the other adjacent the opening defining the second compartment, and the two compartments of the compartment when in the first position. By sharing a part, they are separated from each other. The neck portion will be formed as a limited portion with a smaller cross section compared to the adjacent area of the housing. According to another embodiment of the present invention, the neck portion will be formed by a radial wall that projects inwardly of the circle.

In a first embodiment of the invention the housing is cylindrical, the neck portion has a circular cross section and the partition wall is circular. In an embodiment according to the invention the edge of the partition wall is made to form a neck portion and a sealed portion that is free of liquid leakage. It is a cooperative, elastic part forming part of the edge and an elastic member integrated at the edge, for example an O-ring fitted with a circular groove formed at the edge, one in the bulkhead and the other in the neck part, respectively. It will be achieved by a male and female matching member. The seal formed may be reformable, i.e., sealed again.

The partition wall protrudes from the operation part of the displacement member, which can be operated to allow the user to control displacement. The operating part is outside of the housing and is easily accessible and operable by the end user. In an embodiment of the invention, the septum protrudes from the steering portion but is connected at one end of one or more stems. In the case of a single stem it is central and in the case of multiple stems it is usually arranged around. In another embodiment of the present invention, the partition and the steering portion may be connected by a circumferential wall formed with an opening. In another embodiment, the partition wall and the steering portion are connected by the radial wall. This maneuvering part of the displacement member is, according to an embodiment of the invention, adapted to be screwed with the housing so that axial displacement is achieved by relative forward motion in accordance with the helical displacement during rotation. In this case the seal formed by the partition wall is controlled by the rotation of the threaded displacement member. According to another embodiment of the present invention, the displacement member is axially moved by engaging or engaging the housing and pulling or pushing the steering portion so that the partition wall is connected and separated from the neck portion.

The container according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a housing having a first compartment and a second compartment communicating with each other at a neck portion, a thread portion surrounding an opening, a displacement member having a screw portion for rotatably engaging the screw portion of the container, and A partition for sealing the neck portion, wherein the partition moves from the non-sealed position where the first and second compartments communicate with each other to the closed position where the neck portion is closed when the displacement member rotates with the threaded portion engaging the threaded portion. A displacement member is formed, wherein the displacement member has one or more conduits for introducing components into and out of the second compartment through the opening, depending on whether or not the displacement member is in a sealed position. In this embodiment the conduit has and passes through a passageway extending into the container through the opening.

At least one conduit is surrounded by the threaded portion of the displacement member, the opening is cylindrical and the seal may comprise an O-ring seal. The container includes a second seal for sealing one or more conduits. According to another feature of embodiments of the present invention, it may be provided with a feeding nipple attached to the displacement member or the container. The secondary seal is disposed outside of the feed nipple.

Another embodiment of the present invention provides a container comprising a side wall, a dispensing opening at an upper end, a bottom wall, and a partition that divides the container to seal fluid freely into each of the two compartments to hold one of the two components. The vessel has a displacement vertical rectangular member having an upper end connected to the partition wall and a bottom end connected to the bottom wall such that the vertical axial displacement of the bottom wall vertically displaces the displacement rectangular member to move the partition wall.

According to an embodiment of the present invention, the partition wall is integrally connected to the inner side of the side wall through a connecting area which can be broken by vertical displacement, and the rectangular member extends downward from the partition wall to the bottom wall of the container. According to an embodiment of the present invention, the displacement of the rectangular member causes a vertical displacement of the partition wall that destroys the connection area. Breaking the bulkhead creates a flow between the two compartments and allows the contents of the two compartments to mix. The contents of these two compartments are mixed to form a ready-to-use preparation which will then be dispensed.

The bottom wall can be bent to move vertically in the center. It is also possible for the bottom wall to be firmly formed and to have a periphery which can be bent and to be displaced vertically without the whole being bent. In one embodiment of the present invention, the bottom wall may be formed in a downward arcuate in a stationary state and placed in another position that is an upward arcuate which pushes the rectangular member to cause vertical displacement of the septum. In another embodiment of the present invention, the bottom wall is displaced by pulling downwards towards another position that is upwardly arcuate and downwardly arcuate at rest. It can be pulled using the handle fixed to the bottom wall. As can be readily seen, in the above-described embodiment, the container can be operated with one hand.

According to the invention, the displacement member has a safety mechanism for preventing undesirable axial displacement. According to an embodiment of the present invention, the safety mechanism comprises at least one radially protruding lug engaged with a circumferential groove in the container, wherein the displacement member comprises a first angular position and a second angular position at which the at least one lug engages the groove. Rotating between the lugs separates to allow axial displacement.

The displacement member comprises a closure member, for example a breakable seal, which seals the displacement opening, which, once broken, can dispense the mixed formulation from the container. The container has a closure assembly fitted in the opening. The closure assembly may be replaceable and may or may not cooperate with the displacement member. According to one embodiment of the invention the closure assembly comprises a removable stopper. According to an embodiment of the invention, the displacement member has a periphery for displaceably mating with the upper end of the housing and has an outward opening defining a dispensing opening.

According to another embodiment of the present invention, the displacement member is engageably displaced at the lower end of the housing. In general, according to an embodiment of the present invention, the displacement member has a wall defining a bottom wall of the container, having a sealable opening so as to fill the first compartment. According to this embodiment, it has a dispensing opening but is not necessarily different from the sealable opening in the displacement member.

A closure assembly configured to discharge the formulation from the container under control is fitted in the dispensing opening. The closure assembly according to an embodiment of the present invention is configured according to the desired use. For example, in the case of a container for a pharmaceutical preparation, the closure assembly is a penetrating rubber stopper and is suitable for inserting an injection needle to stop the administration of the pharmaceutical preparation; The closure assembly is configured to dispense a predetermined amount of preparation each time; This closure assembly may be formed in the form of a spoon-shaped dispensing unit; In the case of a container for use as an infant bottle, the closure assembly is a nipple shaped and sized for each application. The closure assembly may be fitted with an additional cover, such as a cap covering the nipple or a thin film covering the stopper, to secure the closure and remain sterile. In the case of a cap that covers the nipple, the cap may be fitted to close the opening of the nipple to prevent spilling of the liquid constituents during storage prior to mixing the liquid formulation.

The present invention provides closures and dispensing systems suitable for infant feeding bottles. The closure and dispensing system according to the invention consists of a sheet member, a nipple and a coupling member, the sheet member being connected to the bottle to form a unit or fit into an opening, and an annular nipple support surface at the top surrounding the hole. A central hole having; The nipple has an annular skirt or shoulder placed on the nipple support surface and has a dispensing nozzle; The coupling member is adapted to fit against a bottle with one element laid against the annular skirt of the nipple so that it can be pressed against the support surface of the nipple. The nipple assembly is formed so that the container can only be used for single use. For example, the coupling member can be configured to hold the nipple in such a way that it can not be removed and, if removable, can be configured so that the replacement part can no longer be inserted into the container.

According to an embodiment of the invention, the dispensing opening is provided with a filter to filter out undissolved particles present in the formulation. According to another embodiment of the invention, the center opening of the closure system is surrounded by an upwardly protruding sleeve attached to the bottom inner wall of the nipple. According to another embodiment of the present invention, a snap fitting is used to connect to the vessel wall by a coupling member.

The container according to the invention is adapted for various uses. In an embodiment of the invention, the container is used as an infant feeding bottle, in which case the first compartment comprises a liquid, generally sterile water, and the second compartment comprises an infant preparation which is a powder. According to another embodiment of the invention, the container is made for storing a pharmaceutical preparation consisting of two components, the first compartment comprising a liquid, ie water or a sterile salt solution, the second compartment being prior to use Dry particle preparations to be mixed with the liquid, such as antibiotic preparations. Depending on the type of preparation, both components are liquid, one is liquid and the other is dry preparation or both is dry preparation.

The relative sizes of the first compartment and the second compartment can be designed to suit the desired application.

The container according to the invention can be made disposable and the container is generally discarded after one use. The container is also made recyclable. That is, it can be sent back to manufacturers after use to refill. The container may then be made refillable in two components by the end user. The container according to the invention is made and constructed of a material that can withstand the heating of the container in order to warm its contents.

It is advantageous to provide a prepackaged container that can only be used once to prevent the end user from reusing the container. This container is provided to the manufacturer while controlling the quality of the delivered product by preventing the end user from refilling and reusing the container. Prepackaged containers have the advantage of controlling the proportions, quality and sterilization of the transferred mixed formulations and the components used. Disposable containers can be achieved by controlling the material strength and the structure of the container, preventing refilling capability, and breaking the maneuverability of the container and this combination. For example, the container is made of thin plastic material and has a closure system that cannot be removed or reclosed after opening or a seal that cannot be resealed after breaking.
