Description

Enhanced eye dropper

The present invention relates to an eye drop case, and more particularly, to a new eye drop case which is easy to aim and easily administered.

As life becomes more sophisticated and industry develops, environmental pollution becomes serious and people's fatigue is increasing.

In particular, the health of eyes that are exposed to various displays such as smart phones and monitors, which are free from breaks, is likely to be invaded, and the use of eye drops continues to increase. Conventionally, because there is no indicator for accurate administration of eye drops, patients simply need to inject eye drops while tilting or moving eye drops depending on the senses. In this process, there were various inconveniences such as eye drops falling out of the eyes, or eye injuries caused by eye drops.

To overcome these inconveniences, a technique has been introduced that improves the container for eye drops. According to the public utility model 20-2014-0000630 (refer to Fig. 1), the injection end portion 12 of the ophthalmic vessel 10 is stained with a color that is conspicuous, In the case of an eye drop.

In addition, in the case of the public utility model 20-2009-0012155 (see FIG. 2), there has been proposed an eyedropper container having a mirror attached downwardly to one side of an upper body communicating with a tubular storage body storing eye drops.

Such conventional techniques have a problem in that it is not possible to accurately administer eyedrops to the eye because it is necessary to give a color to the surface of the eyedrops case or to place a mirror near the eyedrops, . In addition, it is difficult to confirm whether eyedrops can be properly administered in a lying position or an inclined posture because eye drops are visually administered after visually observing eye drop cases and eyes.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been developed under the technical background described above, and an object of the present invention is to provide a new eye drop case in which the eye drop of the eyedrop container entrance can be easily and precisely injected into the eyes.

Another object of the present invention is to provide an eyedropper case having a collimating device capable of aiming at an accurate dosing position by a simple visual identification without a mirror or other means.

Other objects and technical features of the present invention will be more specifically described in the following detailed description.

In order to attain the above object, the present invention provides an ophthalmologic apparatus comprising an ophthalmologic vessel main body in which an interior is empty and an outlet is formed at an upper end thereof, and a collimating mechanism which is charged and fixed inside the ophthalmic vessel main body, And a fixed frame coupled to the outer ball and fixing the outer ball to the inner surface of the medicament container main body, wherein the outer ball is provided with a liquid And the inner ball is partially filled with the filling material.

In the present invention, it is preferable that a collimated aiming point is formed on the lower surface of the inner ball.

In the present invention, the fixed frame may be a lattice-shaped frame through which liquid can pass.

According to the present invention, while the position of the aiming point is always maintained in the vertical direction, the aiming point is relatively changed in accordance with the inclination of the eyedropper container main body so that the aiming point is visible only when the eye and eyedropper container main body are correctly arranged vertically, Eye drops can be easily administered.

As a result, the eyedrops are not shed on the eyebrows or other parts of the face, but the eyes can be prevented from being injured by the entrance of the eyedropper container to set the administration position in the process of administering the eyedrops.

The present invention proposes a new eye drop case in which the aiming point is shifted according to the inclination of the container main body, thereby facilitating the insertion of the eye drop.

The eye drop case according to the present invention has the aiming instrument having a rotatable ball loaded into the eye drop container body in consideration of the difficulty of an expert to accurately inject eye drops into the eye drop case. The rotating ball is inserted in the liquid, and the aiming point is always perpendicular to the ground. When the aiming point is seen when injecting the eye drop, the eye can be accurately injected into the pupil, so that anyone can easily enter the eye drop.

The rotating ball, which is installed inside the eye drop case to identify the aiming point when injecting eye drops, has a function similar to a buoyant floating structure on water. The filling ball is partially charged into the rotating ball so that the rotating ball is always disposed only in the direction of gravity by its own weight. In addition, a sighting point can be visually confirmed at the lower end of the rotating ball so that the user can check the aiming point through the entrance of the eye dropping case when administering eye drops.

Hereinafter, the technical features and effects of the present invention will be described in more detail with reference to preferred embodiments with reference to the drawings.

3 is a perspective view showing an eye drop case of the present invention. The eyedropper case, which is composed of the container body 100 and the cap 110, is loaded with the aiming device 200 therein. The container body is empty inside and has an outlet 102 formed at the upper end thereof, and the collimating mechanism is charged and fixed inside the container body.

It is preferable that the aiming mechanism is disposed and fixed near the upper end of the inside of the container body, that is, near the outlet so that the user can confirm the aiming mechanism even when the amount of eye drops in the container body is short. In addition, although the user can visually confirm the collimating mechanism through the outlet, in order to prevent the collimation point of the collimating instrument from being transmitted through the periphery of the outlet and obstruct the confirmation of the accurate position, the remaining portion except the outlet and the container body are opaque You may.

4A is a perspective view showing a sighting instrument to be loaded into the eyedropper container main body of the present invention. The aiming mechanism includes an outer ball 220, an inner ball 230, and a fixed frame 210. The inner ball is charged into the outer ball, and the fixed frame is coupled to the outer circumferential surface of the outer ball to fix the outer ball to the inner surface of the medicine container body.

The outer ball is filled with liquid around the inner ball. Therefore, the inner ball is in a state in which it can move when it freely floats in the outer ball.

On the other hand, the inner ball is partially filled with the filler 232. For example, the inner ball can be filled with filler in the lower half of the inside and the other half of the inside upper half can be left empty. The inner ball always faces downward in the outer ball due to the load of the filler. The filling material is preferably a solid, and it is preferable that the solid or liquid is trapped in a movement preventing film (not shown) so that the solid or liquid does not move in the inner ball, or is fixed to the inner surface of the inner ball in the case of solid filling.

An aiming point 234 is formed on the bottom surface of the portion of the inner ball filled with the filling material. The aiming point is preferably formed at the center of the lower surface of the inner ball, and is preferably displayed in black or red so as to be visually confirmed.

The fixed frame may be a lattice-shaped frame through which the liquid can pass, and may be formed integrally or detachably on the inner surface of the container body or the outer surface of the outer ball.

Because of the load of the packing, the inner ball which always maintains the direction of gravity becomes a floating state in which it can move freely while being located inside the outer ball filled with liquid such as water. In the floating state, the inner ball always maintains a constant direction irrespective of the positional change and inclination change of the outer ball, so that the relative position of the outer ball and the aiming point of the inner ball may vary.

For example, referring to FIG. 4B, the fixed frame and the outer ball are inclined. However, due to the structural characteristics and the relative positional relationship between the outer ball and the inner ball, And the part with the aiming point is always perpendicular to the ground. This feature makes it possible to use the aiming point of the inner ball as an index for the administration of eye drops in the eye drop case.

Referring to FIG. 5, the eye drops are administered using the eye drop case of the present invention. The eyes of the user are close to the outlet portion of the eye drop case. As described above, the inner ball always maintains the same direction with respect to the ground even if the outer ball is inclined (depending on the inclination of the eye drop case). Thus, if the aiming point of the aiming device is visually confirmed through the outlet, the eyedrop case and the user's eye are aligned in the vertical direction, and if pressure is applied to the eyedropper case, the eye drop can be accurately injected into the eye.

Thus, since the aiming point of the inner ball is always perpendicular to the ground in the eye drop case, if the aiming point is identified by the eye of the user, the eye drop can be safely injected. In addition to injecting eye drops that depend on the sensation, it is not only possible to use an accurate index, but also it is advantageous that the patient can easily aim at the eyes when injecting eyedrops simply by discriminating the color-coded sight point.

FIG. 6 shows a state in which the aiming point can not be seen through the eye drop inlet because the eye drop case is inclined. In this state, even if the eye drops are discharged, eye drops can not be administered to the eye correctly. Given the relatively small size of the exit port of the eye drop case (due to the surface tension of the eye drop) and the lack of eye drops, the eyepiece is not well ventilated unless the eye drop is visually confirmed Eye drops are not emitted.

Conventional eyedrops containers were difficult to aim in the vertical direction because they used a method of coloring the entrance surface or placing a mirror near the entrance of the eyedrops to directly check the entrance of the eyedrops case and eye eyepieces to the eyes. In addition, it is still difficult to confirm whether eyedrops can be properly administered in a lying position or an inclined posture because eye drops are visually administered after visually observing eye drop cases and eyes.

On the other hand, according to the present invention, the point of sight of the ball can be confirmed by confirming the aiming point of the ball because the aiming point of the floating ball loaded in the case is always perpendicular to the ground (ground surface) The eye drops can be injected.

The ophthalmic case of the present invention can eliminate the inconvenience of the conventional ophthalmic administration mode by loading the outer ball and the inner ball having a simple structure into the ophthalmic container body through the fixing frame, School facilities, etc., to enable safe and convenient eye drops administration.

While the present invention has been particularly shown and described with reference to exemplary embodiments thereof, it is to be understood that the invention is not limited to the disclosed exemplary embodiments, but, on the contrary, Modified, modified, or improved.
