Description

Swing Cap Dual Aroma Inhaler Tube

Creative Field This invention relates to a swing-capped dual-aroma inhaler tube.

Background Commonly available packaging for inhalers includes a container and a cap. For example, Thai Utility Model Patent Application No. 1603000872, filed on May 23, 2016, and entitled "Device for Writing and Inhalation," discloses technology that combines an inhaler tube and a pen into a single device for easy portability. The device features a hollow cylindrical cap with a closed top and a protruding portion that allows the cap to fit over the end of a pen. The bottom of the cap is open, allowing insertion into the top of a container for inhaled material. The cap has a clip on the side that allows it to be clipped to a shirt pocket. When the user removes the cap from the pen, they can attach it to the closed cap to prevent it from being forgotten or lost during use. However, there is a limitation associated with one aspect of the inhaler tube, namely, that it can only accommodate a single aroma.

Information from Thai Utility Model Patent Application No. 1803000501, filed on February 21, 2018, and entitled "Twin Tube Inhaler," discloses technology related to inhalation tubes, specifically a twin tube with two inhalation tubes that can be used to inhale into both sides of the nose simultaneously. This allows for quick and convenient use and features an inhaler bottom base with a compartment for holding a liquid balm, which is used to apply and massage the desired area. The various parts are attached together by a linear locking dowel. The base of the inhalation tube, which holds the liquid balm, is attached to the upper portion by a threaded connection to increase the tightness of opening and closing, thereby preventing the liquid balm from leaking. However, there are limitations related to the nature of this type of inhalation tube: it is a dual tube designed to be inhaled into both nasal passages simultaneously. This can cause the user to receive more fragrance than needed with each inhalation. Furthermore, the fragrance release channels on both inhalation tubes are opened and closed by the same cap, so even if the user chooses to inhale from only one inhalation tube, these fragrance release channels are active simultaneously. This can cause the fragrance in the unused tubes to evaporate and be wasted. Furthermore, because the cap is completely detached from the inhalation tube when opened, there is also the problem of the cap being lost or falling off.

Information from Thai Utility Model Patent Application No. 1903002186, filed on August 27, 2019, and entitled "Improved Inhaler Container Structure," discloses technology related to an inhaler compartment structure with a fin to prevent fragrance leakage. This fin, used in conjunction with a rubber ring, prevents the inhaler fragrance from escaping the inhaler compartment. The inhaler compartment is mounted within an additional housing. However, the inhaler tube has limitations, namely, it can only accommodate a single fragrance refill, and the cap can become completely detached from the inhaler tube during use, causing it to be lost or dropped.

Information from Thai utility model patent application No. 2003002552, filed on September 30, 2020, and titled "Inhaler Sleeve," discloses technology related to an inhaler sleeve that houses both an inhaler refill and a liquid plaster container. This technology is based on commercially available dual-use inhalers that can be used for both inhalation and plaster application. However, limitations exist, such as the inhaler tube being able to accommodate only one type of scented refill and the cap being completely detached from the inhaler tube during use, which can lead to loss or falling.

Information was found in Thailand's utility model patent application No. 2103003709, filed on December 20, 2021, titled "Swing-cap Inhaler Stick." The application discloses technologies related to inhaler lids, including an inhaler lid with grooves for sliding open or folding. These grooves are used to be fixed to both sides of the inhalation tube holder by pins, ensuring that the inhaler lid and the inhalation tube holder do not separate from each other. This solves the problem of the inhaler lid being lost and dropped. In addition, the inhaler lid has two holes at the top for attaching the inhaler lanyard to a bag or necklace for easy carrying. A limitation was found to be associated with the nature of this inhalation tube, namely that it could only accommodate one aroma.

The novel swing cap dual aroma inhaler tube falls within the category of the above-mentioned utility model. Upon investigation, it seems that no dual aroma inhaler tube with a swing cap according to the novel invention has been developed before.
