IMPLEMENTATION OF THE INVENTION

[0052] In the following description, illustrative implementation examples and exemplary applications are disclosed with reference to the accompanying drawings, which reveal the advantages of the principles of the present invention, but are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention in any way.

[0053] In the present description, relative terms such as first and second, upper and lower, proximal and distal, and the like, can only be used to distinguish one element or action from another element or action, and may not mean or require actual interposition or order between the specified elements or actions. In the present description, the use of the term "distal" in relation to the anatomy of the present invention can be applied to distinguish the end of an open assembly that is at the end of the extrusion channel. However, the relative positions and orientations of the components or elements of the hand-held docking extrusion device are described and shown on the drawings for illustrative purposes and are not required unless indicated otherwise. In addition, in some examples of the implementation of auxiliary items or other elements may be located distally relative to the channel for extrusion.

[0054] In the present description, the term "working substance" should mean a chemical substance, compound or mixture, which should be a viscous or free flowing fluid, but can also exist in a solid or close to a solid state of aggregation during storage under physical conditions that change aggregative state of the connection. The work component may consist of any single chemical substance or a combination of chemicals that have the required properties and are suitable for squeezing out the device and for use in the present invention. Further, the working substance may not be a liquid, but may be, for example, a crystalline or other solid substance that does not go beyond the scope of the present invention. The working substance may contain a consumable and / or pharmaceutical compound.

[0055] In addition, in some embodiments of the present invention, the cartridge may consist of a section of a reservoir for a working substance, which may also be partially or completely surrounded by a protective or other working envelope. In a similar implementation example, the reservoir and the shell can be made of various materials.

[0056] In some embodiments of the present invention, the cartridge may contain a proximal end member that, during operation, may hold the cartridge relative to the tip section for extrusion. Such an element may comprise a screw thread, flexible tongues, magnetic elements or any other suitable mechanism for holding the cartridge relative to the extrusion tip. In addition, a sealing cap or a protective cap may be provided to prevent exposure of the medium to the proximal end of the channel section.

[0057] In particular, according to an aspect of the present invention, a device for dosed squeezing of a working substance is provided. The device may contain a metering pushing element, a housing for receiving and holding a replaceable cartridge with a working substance, an extrusion channel and an extrusion channel cap connected to the channel with the possibility of detachment. The assembly of the components is made with the possibility of extruding a certain amount of the working substance from the proximal end of the extrusion channel.

[0058] A replaceable cartridge with a working substance, which in the present description is sometimes designated by the term "cartridge" or "replaceable cartridge", suitable for use in combination with the embodiments of the present invention, may consist of at least a shell and a working substance. In addition, the ends of the shell can be fully sealed, and in the case of a shell, the shell can have open ends that can be sealed for the purpose of storage and transportation through a removable adhesive film and / or peelable membranes. In addition, in various embodiments, the cartridge may also contain a stopper at one end, preferably at the distal end, which may function as a plunger when driven by a piston connected to a metering propelling member. In other embodiments, one or both of the open ends of the shell may be sealed by means of a stopper, plug or other suitable element sealing the fluid in the cartridge and preventing the influx of atmospheric gases, which may enter into undesirable interactions with the working substance or damage the contents in another way.

[0059] In additional examples of the implementation of the cartridge, the cartridge may contain a proximal section that can perform the function of the channel for extrusion. Preferably, the proximal end of the section has an orifice of a smaller diameter in order to ensure ease of placement by the user of the discharged substance in a given area. In such an embodiment, the cartridge may also have sealing ends and caps suitable for ensuring proper sealing and storage conditions during the period when the device is not used.

[0060] In an additional implementation of the cartridge, the cartridge may include a section or element that can serve to hold the cartridge with the possibility of removing the cartridge in the body, or pushing element to avoid the need for any other element to hold the cartridge.

[0061] As an additional element of the cartridge of the present invention, the cartridge may include a fluid control valve, such as a unidirectional valve or a valve that resists the flow of fluid at its proximal end. In embodiments that include a unidirectional valve, the valve will serve to prevent the backflow of fluids into the cartridge and to keep the working substance in the cartridge when not in use. In an embodiment involving a valve that resists, the valve will preferably only allow fluid to flow when an appropriate pressure is applied. In such an embodiment, the resisting valve will allow the user to replace the cartridge at will, by preventing free flow of fluid from the proximal end. Only when pressure is applied by the propelling element will it be possible for the fluid to flow through the valve. The pressure required to break the valve would be obvious to those skilled in the art and is preferably intended to ensure ease of use and operation of the present invention.

[0062] In addition, in embodiments of the present invention, the cartridge can be manually inserted and held with the possibility of being removed into the housing, which, in turn, can be held, supported and / or partially or completely closed by an element, component or section to hold the cartridge.

[0063] In addition, the cartridge body may be made of any suitable material, which may include, without limitation, glass, stainless steel, plastic film, brass, aluminum, ceramics or ceramic composites, plastic, polymer composites, zinc and metals Coated, such as nickel plated brass.

[0064] Functional fluids that may preferably be contained in cartridges according to the present invention include, without limitation, esters, acetic acid esters, alcohols, acids, lactones, carbonyls, amides, phenols, isoprenes, terpenes, thiols, saturated and unsaturated thiosulfinates, hemiterpenes, monoterpenes, sesquiterpenes, diterpenes, testerterpenes, triterpenes, sesquiterpenes, tetraterpenes, polyterpenes, norizoprenoids and their derivatives, for example, terpinehydrate, turpentine derivative; natural flavoring compounds, for example, often found in fruits, including but not limited to: gamma-decalactone, gamma-octalactone, butyric acid, 2-methylbutyric acid, propionic acid, isovaleric acid, isobutyric acid, cinnamic acid, phenylethyl alcohol, ethyl butyrate, ethyl acetate, ethyl borate, ethyl butyrate acid, cinnamic acid, phenylethyl alcohol, ethyl butyrate, ethyl acetate, ethyl butyrate, ethyl butyrate acid, cinnamic acid, phenylethyl alcohol, ethyl butyrate, ethyl acetate, ethyl butyrate, ethyl butyrate acid, cinnamic acid, phenylethyl alcohol, ethyl butyrate, ethyl acetate, ethyl butyrate, ethyl butyric acid , ethyl-2-methylbutyrate ethyl isovalerate, methylcinnamat, ethyl propionate, ethyl hexanoate, (E) 2-hexanal, 2-isobutylthiase ol, 1-nitrophenyl ethane, (E) -2-heptenal, furanones, 2,5-dimethyl-4-hydroxy-3- (2H) 2-methylbutanoite, ethyl-2-methylpropanoite, methyl hexanoite, methylbutanoate, trans-2- hexenal, ethyl-2-methylbutanoite, ethyl butanoite, trans-2-hexenol, hexyl acetate, hexyl butanoate, 1-butanol, 1-hexanol, cis-3-hexenal, cis-3-hexane, cis-3-hexenyl acetate, ethyl hexanoate , propyl-2-methylbutanoate, 2-methyl-1-butanol, benzyl alcohol, 1-octanol, phenylethyl alcohol, 1,3-oct-5 (Z) -andiol, 1,3-octanediol, 4-vinylguacol, eugenol, 2-methylbutanoic acid, 4-hydroxyphenylacetic acid, 3-hydroxy-methox phenylacetic acid, 3-oxo-alpha-ionol, vomifoliol, 3-oxo-β-ionol, degidromomifoliol, rozeozid; and / or natural flavoring compounds, for example, commonly found in vegetables, including without limitation: dimethyl sulfide, thiosulfinates, disulfides, polysulfides, 2-propen-1-sulfinotoic acid S-2-propenyl ester (allicin), methanesulfinoic acid S-2- propenyl ester, S-2-propenyl ester of 2-propene-1-sulfonic acid, S-methyl ester of 2-propene-1-sultinothioic acid, linoleic acid, (E) -2-nonenal, (Z) -3-nonenol, (Z) -3-nonenal, C9 carbonyls, (Z, Z) -3,6-nonadienal, (E, Z) 6-nonadienal, 3-methylbutanoates, 2-phenethyl esters, 2-phenethyl-3-methyl utanoate, (E) -2-hexenyl-3-methylbutanoate, benzyl-3-methylbutanoate, (E) -2-hexenyl 3-methylbutanoate, benzyl 3-methylbutanoate, methyl 3-methylbutanoate, butyl 3-methylbutanoate, 3-methylbutanoate, butyl 3-methylbutanoate, 3-methylbutyl 3-methylbutanoate, (E) -2-pentenyl 3-methylbutanoate, 2-phenethylhexanoate, sesquiterpene alcohol, cubenol, phthalides, 3-butylphthalide, 3-butyl-4,5-dihydrophthalide, cis and trans-forms of 3-butyl-3a, 4,5,6-tetrahydrophthalide, (Z) ligustilide, 1- (E, Z) -3,5, -undextatriene, sesquiterpene hydrocarbons, alpha-Copan, alpha-murolene, alpha kakakoren, cadienes, 2-acetyl-1-p Irroline, 2-ethyl-3,6-dimethylpyrazine, acetaldehyde, 3-methylbutanal, 4-vinylhiac, 2-acetylthiazole, 2-acetyl-2-thiazoline, 2- (1-hydroxyethyl) -4.5 dihydrothiazole, 5- dimethyl-4-hydroxy-3 (2H) -furanone, hydrogen sulfide, methanethiol, ethanethiol, octa-1,5-dien-3-one, linalool, (E, E) -dec-2, 4-dienal, p-ment -1,3,4-triene, miren, 2-sec-butyl-3-methoxypyrazine, myristicin, (E, E) -deca-2,4-dienal, (Z) -6-enal, beta-fellandrene, ( Z) -hex-3-enal, (Z) -hex-3-enol, (Z) -hex-3-enyl acetate, vanillin, menthol, methyl salicylate, 3.7-haadiene, delta-cadinene, cannabinoids, nicotine, caffeine , citicoline and taurine.

CARTRIDGE CASES

[0065] The present invention includes a cartridge housing for holding and / or holding at least one replaceable cartridge. According to another aspect of the cartridge housing, the housing may serve as the attachment of the cartridges, the elements for holding the cartridge, the metering pushing members, or other elements of the present invention that will cooperate with the replaceable cartridge. In various embodiments, the housing may include fully or partially defined elements of the present invention, such as an extrusion channel or a pushing member.

[0066] In one embodiment of the cartridge housing, the cartridge housing includes a proximal opening for receiving a replaceable cartridge and a distal end for engaging or performing in one piece with the dispensing propelling member. In addition, in such an embodiment, a detachable element for holding the cartridge will be provided at the proximal end to hold the cartridge in the housing. In a similar, but alternative implementation, the cartridge having at least the built-in tip of the extrusion channel and the housing fastening element can be removed by the housing at its proximal end.

[0067] In an alternative embodiment of the cartridge housing, the cartridge housing may receive the cartridge from its distal end at the distal opening. In addition, in this embodiment, the cartridge will be held fixed with a distal element with the possibility of removing to hold the cartridge, which may contain a metering pushing element or an adapter for the metering pushing element. In such an embodiment, the housing may include internal elements at its proximal end to hold the cartridge within the housing, or may alternatively receive a detachablely secured element to hold the cartridge at its proximal end. The proximal retention element may cooperate with the cartridge to facilitate its retention in the housing, or in an alternative embodiment, the extrusion channel may simply be removable or permanently attached to the proximal end of the housing and can only serve as a fluid flow channel. In addition, in various embodiments and assemblies of the disclosed elements, the cartridge body can be configured to receive the cartridge from either the proximal or distal end.

[0068] According to another aspect of the previously disclosed extrusion tip elements, the SSPCRE element, and the MSPCRE element, the extrusion tip or assembly may generally include an attachment element with the possibility of replacing the proximal end element of the replaceable cartridge to the extrusion tip. With this configuration, a replaceable cartridge can be attached to the extrusion tip, resulting in a tip / cartridge complex, which can then be inserted and replaceably attached to the cartridge body. Any suitable fastening mechanism may be used, such as, for example, the thread of the tip body for extruding or the body of the assembly.

[0069] In an additional embodiment, the cartridge body may be composed of a body structure and a heating jacket or element to surround the cartridge or be in contact with the cartridge, so as to supply thermal energy to the working substance held in the replaceable cartridge.

[0070] In yet another additional embodiment, the cartridge body may be composed of a body structure or be associated with its element, which may be heated by an external heat source, such as a microwave oven, which may deliver a noticeable amount of thermal energy to the body itself or specified element to extend the heated state of the cartridge installed in it in advance or thereafter. In addition, in an embodiment using a specific element to retain a large portion of the heat, the material may preferably consist of a substance that has the ability to retain a significant amount of heat.

[0071] According to another aspect of the embodiments of the cartridge housings, the cartridge housing may include a visible scale of divisions on its outer side to communicate specific measurement results to the user regarding the size of the working substance extruded by the device. In addition, to help visualize the contents of the replaceable cartridge, the housing may include a viewing hole on its side, such as a slit opening. Alternatively, the housing may be made of a visually transparent material, such as polycarbonate plastic, which allows its contents to be viewed. In such an embodiment, a scale of divisions may also be included, which may be printed on the inner or outer surface.

[0072] According to another aspect of the tips of the channels including the valves, the valve can be located as close as possible to the proximal position, so that after squeezing the valve can help to keep excess fluid flow from the channel and prevent excessive squeezing of the material. In addition, with this configuration, the valve can be removed with the possibility of being removed by a protective cap, also held with the possibility of being removed. An example of such a configuration would be a protruding proximal tubular section of the channel, which can hold a section having sleeves and placed over the end of said tube. In addition, this configuration can be configured to receive a held removable cap having a through axial bore that closes the valve and prevents it from being pushed out of the end of the tube, while at the same time allowing the extruded substance to flow out of the valve. Such an assembly preferably provides the user with the ability to install a flow control valve directly at the extrusion site to minimize unwanted excess flow of the tubular channel after the extrusion event.

[0073] When the device according to the present invention includes a cartridge in which the tip of the extrusion channel is embedded, the cartridge can be detachably held in the cartridge body with a holding member that serves only to fix the cartridge in the housing. The specified element may contain an annular object, which may have a thread or other devices to allow attachment to the body of the cartridge or other fixation of the cartridge in place. In an additional embodiment, a cartridge having a housing holding member embedded in the cartridge may likewise have a fastening mechanism for holding the cartridge in the housing, but does not require any auxiliary parts for holding it in the housing.

[0082] According to the present invention, the cartridge body may include or have a dispensing propelling member associated therewith. Such a mechanism will interact with a replaceable cartridge with a working substance at its distal end by actuating a piston or screw or other action or squeezing the working substance out of the replaceable cartridge at its proximal end. In addition, the pushing element can preferably be made with the possibility of dosing, which can provide the user with the opportunity to advance with the issuance of the required number, by visual observation or by means of tactile feedback, or by using both. In addition, in various embodiments, the dispensing push member may include visual division scales to show the user the distance of the movement and the amount of the contents of the cartridge. Additionally, the propulsion piston, screw, or any other suitable element may have a permanently connected plunger plug to displace the working substance from the replaceable cartridge with the working substance or may otherwise interact with the plug previously installed in the cartridge to achieve the same result.

[0083] The dispensing propulsion element of the present invention will operate by displacing the flow of the working substance from the replaceable cartridge in a metered and controlled manner. In all embodiments of the metering pushing member, the pushing members will act on the distal end of the replaceable cartridge, apply pressure to the retained substance by the plunger and push the working substance out of its proximal end. Alternatively, when using a cartridge that has a shell made of a flexible film substance, the propelling member will gradually squeeze the shell to cause squeezing out of the cartridge, for example, using a plate or using rollers.

[0084] According to the present invention, the metering push member may be composed of any suitable mechanism that operates according to the present invention. In particular, some embodiments are disclosed in detail herein, but it should be noted that many alternatives and mechanical structures and their elements, such as electrical elements, are considered and taken into account, and it will be obvious to those skilled in the art that the mechanisms and elements disclosed This document may generally be applied in other ways within the scope of this disclosure.

[0085] In addition, in various embodiments, the metering propelling elements disclosed herein may be combined or combined with any other elements of the present invention, in part or in whole, for example, the cartridge body, mounting adapters, cartridge retaining elements or other elements, disclosed in this document. For example, the body for the mechanism can be combined with the body of the cartridge and be one piece. Additionally, if necessary, when controlling the specified pushing elements, wireless communication mechanisms can be used.

DISCLOSURE MECHANISMS

SIMPLE

[0086] In one embodiment of the dispensing push member, the dispensing push member may consist of a housing for the mechanism, a plunger rod, a finger grip and a cap of the distal end of the housing. In one embodiment, the housing for the mechanism may be combined with the cartridge body to form one part and, with its internal opening, slide in a sliding manner with a finger grip attached to the plunger rod, to this plunger rod alone, or to both at the same time. Together, the finger grip and the rod will maintain axial alignment inside the housing to allow the plunger rod to interact with the replaceable cartridge and ensure the flow of the working medium. In an alternative embodiment, the finger grip will be connected to the plunger rod, the plunger rod will slidely interact with an annular slotted hole located between the cartridge and the pushing member, which will maintain the axial alignment of the plunger rod with the cartridge. In all cases, in the housing for the mechanism, a slit opening can be made for gripping with fingers passing through it, into which the scale of divisions applied to the visible external surface of the housing will also be used to show the relative position of the plunger and the distance of progress, possible or already completed. Additionally, in both cases, the distal end of the housing will preferably have a lid or cap that is either held permanently or removably to ensure the original structure or intermittent disassembly of the assembly. In an alternative embodiment, a similar design may be provided in which a haptic feedback mechanism may be used, with part of the finger grip interacting with raised or recessed elements placed successively along the slit hole, and as the finger grip is pushed through the slit hole , the element of the finger grip, which may be, for example, the protrusion of a metal spring, will form resistive contact with the elements of the slit of holes as passage of each of said element. Such a mechanism can be used to show the progress to a specified distance, which corresponds to a given amount of extruded working substance. In all embodiments, the slipping of the pin will preferably be accompanied by moderate resistance to movement, so that the pin will not slide freely back and forth without the effort created by the user's hand.

SCREW WITH CLICK

[0087] In an alternative embodiment of the metering pushing member, the metering pushing member may comprise a plunger driven by a screw and a member turned by the user to actuate the screw plunger. In embodiments using a plunger driven by a screw or a plunger rod, the screw can be driven by a rotation provided by the user. In various embodiments, the advancement of the screw may be accompanied by tactile feedback, such as clicking. In addition, in various embodiments, the advance distance may be user defined or user adjustable.

[0088] In addition, in one implementation, the advancement of said plunger screw may be provided by a user-controlled pivot element that does not move in the proximal or distal direction, but will only rotate, remaining in place, around its axis. This can be achieved with a plunger, for example, with a square or rectangular stem having two flat surfaces and two external threaded radial surfaces. With this arrangement, the rod can be rotated by manually rotating the rotating element, which will apply force to the flat surfaces of the rod, and the thread will simultaneously interact with the fixed threaded hole in the housing, causing the screw to move along its axis in accordance with the pitch of the helical thread. In addition, the element with manual rotation will ensure a smooth movement of the rod through the body along flat surfaces as the screw moves. In such an embodiment, the element with manual rotation can be visually transparent and a scale of divisions can be printed on it, which can be located around the circumference around the rotating element that will correspond to the position of the distal end of the screw stem and show the user the position of the screw relative to the cartridge.

[0089] In addition, in an additional embodiment, an element with manual rotation may have an associated group of elements that can provide tactile feedback when the element is rotated with manual rotation to indicate how far the element has progressed. In one embodiment, an element with manual rotation can hold the length of a plate or wire of a metal spring with a tongue protruding in the radial direction or bending, which will interact with the internal diameter of the slotted opening of the hollow cylindrical body. With this configuration, the tongue of the metal spring will interact with the sequence of protruding elements of the slotted hole and cause resistance to rotation, providing tactile feedback with a “click”.

[0090] In an alternative implementation, the resistance to rotation and tactile feedback with "click" can be provided by coordinating the operation of the element with manual rotation with a pin having many rounded protrusions and having a hole made through its center to allow free movement of the propelled screw with two flat sides. In addition, the pin with a lot of rounded protrusions must be positioned so that it fits into the rounded recesses in the ring section of the mechanism case and interacts with them, forming an interface, while a threaded hole is made in the center of the pin for interfacing with a prop screw. In addition, as a final feature, a pin with a plurality of rounded protrusions will be inserted into the rounded depressions, while the metal spring will abut against the slotted opening in the element with manual rotation. Rotation of the element with manual rotation leads to a joint coordinated rotation of the pin with a plurality of rounded protrusions, while the edges of the rounded protrusions enter and exit from the rounded recesses. When the pin is pushed up and rotated over the edge of the rounded protrusion, it resists the pivot and slides along the distal end of the assembly in the slotted hole to ensure its movement. After providing the ability to rotate the pin with a lot of rounded protrusions with a hit in the rounded grooves, the spring force causes it to snap back into the rounded grooves. As a result, the process provides tactile feedback with a “click” for the user who rotates this element. In such an embodiment, an element with manual rotation may also have a visual scale in order to coordinate with the position of the propelled screw. In addition, in this embodiment, the rotation can be carried out in both directions, allowing the user to return the screw to the fully retracted position, allowing the cartridge to be replaced.

[0091] According to another aspect of embodiments of a metering pushing member that uses tactile feedback, a click-to-click tactile feedback mechanism may be used that will indicate drive advance by a predetermined amount or value selected by the user. The expression "click" denotes the creation of a unique sound, the creation of tactile feedback of both of them at the same time. In addition, in a preferred embodiment, the user is also provided with a visual indication of the advancement of the mechanism in the form of a quantitative characteristic or advancement along the scale of divisions.

[0092] To create tactile feedback associated with promotion, a variety of mechanisms can be used to provide this function. In one embodiment, a recess of an element associated with said mechanism may be used to cause a short and predetermined advance of the drive by actuating a piston or screw or performing a displacement for a short distance or performing a small rotation. In addition, in this mechanism, the pressed element will return to its original position to provide additional advancement. Such a mechanism is similar to retractable ink pen.

MECHANISM OF ADVANCED STOP

[0093] In other embodiments of the metering mechanism, the mechanism may comprise a pressure piston bounded by an advancing stopper. In embodiments using these elements, the locking block may preferably be adapted to move toward the proximal end of the assembly with placement within it, with a pressure piston. In such embodiments, the advancement of the stopper preferably may not lead to interaction with the push piston as it advances, and the piston will maintain its original position until affected by the user pressing down. Functionally, the interdependent relationship between these two elements provides the user with the ability to advance the stopper to the required distance before actuating the piston and then squeezing the working substance out of the replaceable cartridge at its proximal end. If the user wants to press on the piston and squeeze out the working substance, he can press on the distal end of the piston - and stop pressing him before making contact with the stopper. These mechanisms and processes allow the user to select the volume of the extruded working substance, and then quickly carry out the extrusion of the specified volume at once.

[0094] In one embodiment of the present invention, the pushing member consisting of a push stopper and a push piston may comprise an assembly, wherein the push stopper may have an axial bore and an internal screw thread cooperating with an external screw thread at the distal end of the cartridge body, while turning an advance stopper will cause the cartridge body to move. Preferably, the advanced stopper can be assembled in such a way that when the ends of the movement are reached, the advanced stopper will be stopped. It should be noted that by limiting this movement, the user will not be able to accidentally sever the thread when unscrewing this part at the end of its movement at the distal end of the cartridge housing. This can be achieved by using snap-on rings during assembly manufacture or by using other features of these two components. In use, a snap ring may consist of a ring having open and disconnected ends that have partial recesses to allow the ring to partially compress towards its axial center. In various embodiments, the ring may consist of wires of different profiles, made in the form of a ring structure, or may be a ring obtained by stamping. The wire profile can be round, square, triangular or have another geometric shape that can provide a stop, and the profile is not limited to these forms. In addition, in this embodiment, the stopper unit may preferably be advanced in the distal-proximal or proximal-distal direction, the latter providing the user with the possibility of replacing the cartridge with the fully-used working substance with a new cartridge.

[0095] In embodiments utilizing an advance stopper and a pressure piston, the propulsive element will preferably have a visual indication associated with it of the position and distance of the advancement. A visual indication may be provided with a scale of divisions, a plurality of scales, or a plurality of scales of divisions, visually interacting with each other to show the position. In embodiments that use a single scale of divisions, the scale may preferably be located on the visible part of the device and may be partially or completely closed or made invisible when moving the pushed stop, thus providing an indication of the distance of advancement or the distance available for advancement. Multiple scales can be used on a single assembly of the present invention, with one scale showing divisions that differ from other scales. For example, one scale can show mass in milligrams, and the other can show volume in milliliters.

[0096] In one embodiment, a pair of division scales may visually interact with each other to show progress. For example, a scale extending proximally distally in length will be applied to a visible surface, such as the outer surface of the cartridge case, and the scale applied to the outer circumference of the advanced stopper can be made towards its anterior proximal edge. In such an embodiment, the advanced stopper will partially surround the marked case of the cartridge and will interact with the screw thread on the case. Rotation of the advanced stopper will cause it to move along the body and, accordingly, the scale applied to the body. At the same time, a pivoting scale applied to an advanced stopper will show fractional progress along the division on a scale applied to the body as it turns. For example, a hooked thread can have a pitch of 1 mm, and the tick marks on the body can be separated by a distance of 1 mm. A full rotation (360 degrees) performed by the user will cause the pushed stopper to move 1 mm into the body, however, the user may wish to be able to move a shorter distance while still having more accurate graduations to display the resulting offset caused by a partial turn. With this configuration, a more accurate graduation will be applied to the visible surface of the advanced stopper and will be matched with graduations on the cartridge body to provide an indication of the offset as a result of the partial rotation.

[0097] In other embodiments of the present invention using an advanced stopper and a pressure piston, the advanced stopper may include a haptic feedback mechanism or an element that provides frictional resistance to show the user a certain offset of the advanced stopper. In an embodiment using rotation of the advanced stopper, tactile feedback with a “click” or frictional resistance can be used to indicate the displacement of the stopper with respect to full or partial rotation.

[0098] In additional embodiments of the metering pushing members, various embodiments may include a pushing piston with an electronic drive or controlled actuation. In such mechanisms, the drive with controlled actuation can preferably be adapted to be controlled by the user through interaction with buttons or other control interfaces associated with the housing. The electric drive can be implemented by an engine or a solenoid. Additional embodiments of an electric drive may be wirelessly connected to a controller using a human interface.

[0099] In embodiments containing an engine with an electronic drive, the system may preferably include a user interface, an electronic control circuit, a battery, an electronic motor, an energy transfer system, an advanced piston, and a housing.

[00100] According to another aspect of a user interface, this interface may simply be a single button or a single switch, or may contain multiple buttons, a keyboard, or other switching elements that may be electrically connected to an electrical control circuit. In addition, the user interface may include a display screen controlled by an electronic control circuit. Additionally, manual switches or buttons may include a mechanical switch of any type, such as a push button or a slide switch, a spinning knob or a cuff; or an electromechanical switch, such as a touch screen or other suitable sensor, which may, for example, be contained within a display panel / control panel or be connected wirelessly.

[00101] As an additional aspect of the present invention with respect to the present embodiment, a threaded system capable of selectively engaging can be used to allow the user to smoothly move the pushed stopper along its axis without turning until the user chooses an engagement with a screw thread, which is used to advance an advanced stopper when selecting the amount of extruded material for extrusion. Such a composition will function by mechanical coupling or disengagement from the screw thread of the cartridge housing and the pivoting member being advanced. For example, in such a case, the cartridge housing section may include a plurality of threaded blocks that can be moved away from the engagement point or moved out of this location. In one embodiment, the cartridge body can be made with a plurality of radial slotted holes to accommodate radially retractable blocks, each of which has one outwardly protruding surface of the screw thread. These blocks are designed to be extended and retracted by any suitable mechanism, in this case, for example, in the case of three blocks, a cam with a rounded protrusion may be located below these blocks towards the central axis, while the cam with a rounded protrusion is rotated by the plunger pin. These blocks can be kept directed toward the central axis and in the slotted openings of the housing by means of a circular spring, such as a clamping spring or a tensile spring connected to the end. With this configuration, the rounded cam projections will be configured to press these blocks radially outward to such a distance that their threaded surfaces will engage with the internal thread of the pivoted pivot member of the advancing stopper. Being in such a state, the thread will be hooked with an advanced stopper, the rotation of which will cause movement through the cartridge case relative to the pitch of the screw thread. When the user needs to unhook the thread to retract the pushed stopper to a new position, to avoid the inconvenient screwing action, the user can rotate the plunger pin, causing these blocks to retract to the lower cam section with a rounded lug, and release the pivot stopper from the thread. Thread re-engagement can be performed by another turn of the plunger pin to the position in which the rounded protrusions push these blocks back to the thread engagement point.

[00102] In one implementation, the control circuit includes a storage element configured to record and store usage data relating to the user, as well as any other information supplied to the device by electrical connection using a direct wired connection or wireless communication mechanism . This data may include, for example, the cumulative consumption of the working substance over a given period of time; amount of use of the working substance by the user; periods of time between uses; temperature profile of one or more components; power consumption history; saved preferences or settings; and alternative uses, such as previous combinations of components connected to an assembly device, and in what order they were connected and / or specific coded information defining the attributes of the component, such as the serial number of its part, flavor, or substance that it contains or can contain, for example. In addition, the stored data can be used by processing units to control the mechanisms of the present invention. Those skilled in the art will appreciate that these types of data are described as an example and should not be construed as limiting the amount of information that can be stored in the storage element within the scope of the present invention.

[00103] Preferably, the electronic controller includes one or more processing elements / processors.

Specialists in this field of technology will obviously diverse expansion of the use of processors of the present invention, which in no way are limited to these examples of processing, disclosed in this document.

[00104] As an alternative to simply hand-actuating, the pushing element can be activated automatically by entering an access code corresponding to a valid access code stored in the controller. In an alternative implementation, entering the correct access code can only "unlock" the device promotion function, without automatically starting the promotion, while the user is given the opportunity to activate the promotion manually. For example, after successfully confirming the access code, the user can simply click on the button or switch to get started. The atomization element can react to one hand activation after one confirmation of the access code, a specified number of times of manual actuation, for a specified period of time after the access code is confirmed or until the processor accepts the confirmation command of the user to re-lock. "devices, for example, by re-entering the access code to switch back to the locked state, or by simply pressing a manual switch or button. The password can be entered by the user directly into the display panel / control panel or transmitted to the controller from a separate input device or token, such as a user's personal smartphone, a magnetic electronic key in the form of a card, a barcode image using Wi-Fi, infrared port, Bluetooth®, RFID or optical connection, for example.

[00105] In one implementation, the controller may also include or be operatively connected to a wireless communication element (not shown in the drawings) configured to transmit to another wireless communication device or receive information from said wireless communication device. In general, this disclosure addresses many types of wireless networks, which may include, but are not necessarily limited to, WPANs (wireless personal area networks), WLANs (wireless local area networks), WANs (wide area networks), or any other suitable wireless networks and communications. Preferably, the connectivity provided by wireless networks provides, for issuing devices in accordance with the invention, the ability to communicate with or control a personal electronic device, such as a smartphone, to activate or block / unlock one or more functions using an access code. dispensers (without the need for a user interface based on several keys on the breathing device itself), as well as to provide control / tracking i storing and analyzing usage data on a personal electronic device.

[00106] In addition, as an additional aspect of the electrical control circuit, this circuit will preferably be configured to receive and transmit electrical current to the battery or heating element from the charging terminal, and also contain electrical communication elements for data transfer between the device 130 and external devices for computing and / or storing data. In one embodiment, a connecting port (not shown in the drawings) at the proximal end of the battery / controller case or in the extrusion channel may be interfaced with other elements extending proximally or distally from it. Such a connecting port, if present, can also provide the possibility of electrical connection from the specified circuit with one or more actuators.

[00107] According to another aspect of the present invention, a scanner or sensor may be placed in the cartridge case or the pushing member to detect a data item or data from a replaceable cartridge or other object, which can then be displayed to the user on the device using an electronic display or used or used by an electronic control circuit to modify the actuation in accordance with the data obtained.

[00108] Preferably, the electrical controller may be configured to control the charge rate of the battery with respect to voltage and current, and may prevent the battery from overcharging. In addition, electrical control elements can preferably prevent damage to circuit elements or batteries due to reverse polarity by switching on appropriately configured cells, such as diodes, PNP transistors or a P-type field-effect transistor.

In a very simple embodiment, the electrical control circuit may simply comprise an electrical connection between the motor and the battery, between which a current switch is located. In more complex mechanisms, the control circuit may contain other elements described in this document, as well as have an electrical connection to the electric motor.
