Definitions

  • the present invention relates to inserts for multiple component containers, which contain two or more different substances or components which are stored separately but are mixed together at the time the container is opened.
  • an insert for a multiple component container includes a diaphragm and a sealing element which together define a reservoir, the diaphragm including a stationary portion and a movable portion, the movable portion being connected to the stationary portion by at least two spaced annular fold lines of opposite sense, a discharge opening being formed in the movable portion within the annular fold lines, a gas leakage path being provided in the diaphragm, a valve member connected to the stationary portion and cooperating with the discharge opening and substantially sealing it, whereby the application of a greater gas pressure to the interior of the reservoir than to its exterior results in rotational movement about the fold lines and thus in movement of the movable portion relative to the stationary portion and thus in the valve member moving out of sealing contact with the flow opening.
  • the insert will be partially filled with one component, preferably in liquid form, of a multiple component system and will be placed inside a container including a further component of the multiple component system.
  • a lid or other closure which may be separate from the insert or may be connected to it
  • the interior of the container that is to say the head space above the component situated within it, is pressurised. If the component with the container is a carbonated beverage, this pressurisation will occur automatically by virtue of the progressive release of carbon dioxide from it. If, however, the component within the container is not carbonated and is e.g. a pharmaceutical preparation, this pressurisation of the head space of the container may be conveniently effected by adding a few drops of e.g.
  • the leakage path in the diaphragm is sufficiently small that instant depressurisation of the interior of the reservoir is not possible, whereby a substantial pressure differential across the diaphragm will be created.
  • This will act on the movable portion of the diaphragm and will result in relative rotation of the annular portions of the diaphragm on each side of each fold line.
  • This relative rotation will result in movement of the movable portion away from the stationary portion and thus in movement of the discharge opening away from the valve member.
  • This movement is sufficient to move the discharge opening out of cooperation with the valve member, whereby the discharge opening is now open.
  • the gas pressure prevailing within the reservoir will then expel the component within the reservoir through the discharge opening and into the body of the container, where it will mix with the other components present therein.
  • the container now contains a two-component mixture which may then be administered to a patient or otherwise used.
  • the valve member may take various forms but in a simple preferred embodiment, it constitutes a spigot or the like which is integrally connected to the diaphragm.
  • This spigot will normally cooperate with the discharge opening, e.g. extend into it and form a seal with it, so as to close the discharge opening and prevent premature discharge of the component within the reservoir into the container.
  • This link will inherently be relatively long and in order to ensure that it is retained in the desired position, it is preferred that the insert includes a support member integral with the stationary portion which is engaged by the link and stabilises it.
  • the gas leakage path in the diaphragm may be constituted simply by a very small hole in it. It is, however, convenient if the valve member and discharge opening together define the gas leakage path because this will obviate the necessity of forming a separate leakage path. It is preferred that the valve member and discharge opening together constitute a one-way valve defining the gas leakage path through which gas may flow into the reservoir but not out of it.
  • the insert may be used with two-component containers and in this event one component will of course be stored in the body of the container and the other in the insert.
  • the invention is, however, applicable to containers for three or more component systems and thus the reservoir may include one or more partitions dividing it into two or more compartments, each of which communicates with a respective flow opening cooperating with a respective valve member.
  • each compartment will of course be filled with a different component of the multi-component system.
  • each flow opening is associated with a respective set of at least two spaced annular fold lines.
  • the insert will of course need to be sealed prior to use to prevent leakage or contamination of its contents and the sealing element may be a sheet of plastic material or of metal or a composite thereof sealingly connected to the peripheral edge of the diaphragm.
  • the insert may be applied to a container in the form of a discrete component and the lid or other closure subsequently applied to the container. It is, however, convenient if the insert and closure constitute a composite unit, whereby they are then applied simultaneously to the container.
  • a closure will include a closure plate which, in use, extends across a dispensing opening in the container and it is therefore possible for the sealing sheet of plastic material or the like to be omitted and for the closure plate of the closure to constitute the sealing element of the insert.
  • FIG. 1 is an axial sectional view of a first embodiment of an insert in accordance with the present invention in the “as-moulded” state;
  • FIG. 2 is an axial sectional view of the insert of FIG. 1 in the operative configuration
  • FIG. 3 is an axial sectional view on the line 3 - 3 in FIG. 2 ;
  • FIG. 4 is a view similar to FIGS. 1 and 2 showing the insert after its contents have been expelled into a container;
  • FIG. 5 is a scrap view on an enlarged scale showing the valve spigot located in the flow opening.
  • FIG. 6 is a view similar to FIG. 3 showing a container cap incorporating an insert in accordance with the invention.
  • the insert illustrated in the accompanying drawings constitutes a one-piece moulding of polypropylene or the like. It could, however, also be made from metallic foil or from a composite comprising metal and plastics material which is stamped or pressed into shape.
  • FIG. 1 When the insert is ejected from the mould, it has the configuration shown in FIG. 1 . It comprises an open-topped, generally cup-shaped member 2 , formed in whose base is a depending pocket 4 .
  • the downwardly and inwardly inclined annular wall of the pocket 4 is formed with a plurality of spaced, annular lines of weakness, that is to say lines of reduced thickness, whose function will be described below.
  • Formed in the base of the pocket 4 is a flow opening 6 , which is defined by a flexible marginal lip 8 , seen in FIG.
  • Moulded integrally with the upper peripheral edge 10 of the insert constitutes a peripheral flange 10 , moulded integrally with which is one end of an elongate connector link 12 , which extends generally laterally. Integral with the free end of the link 12 is a spigot 14 , which extends vertically upwardly in the as-moulded state.
  • Moulded integrally with the base of the cup-shaped member 2 , radially outside the pocket 4 is an upstanding support 16 .
  • the support 16 comprises an upstanding web, at the two ends of whose upper surface there are respective upstanding lugs 18 , the space between which is substantially equal to the width of the link 12 .
  • the support 16 thus affords a generally rectangular recess at its upper end defined by the inner edges of the two lugs 18 .
  • the insert is now brought into the operative configuration by applying an upward force to the lower end of the pocket 6 .
  • the pocket 4 is moved upwardly until it is generally at the same level as the remainder of the base of the cup-shaped portion 2 .
  • the link 12 Prior or subsequent to this, the link 12 is rotated through 180 ⁇ in the anticlockwise direction, as seen in FIG. 1 , until it reaches the position shown in FIG. 2 .
  • the free end, which is of frustoconical shape in this case, of the spigot is inserted into the opening 6 defined by the upwardly extending lip 8 .
  • the internal diameter of the lip 8 and the external diameter of the spigot 14 are so matched to one another that the spigot 14 expands the lip 8 outwardly, whereby the lip 8 is urged into contact with the surface of the spigot 14 and thus forms a substantial gas seal with it.
  • the link 12 is supported on the upper surface of the support 16 and restrained from lateral movement by the lugs 18 .
  • the insert is then partially filled with the desired substance, in liquid or powder form, and in the present case it will be assumed that this substance is one component of a two-component pharmaceutical composition which is administered in the form of a mixture but is unstable in the long term in the form of a mixture.
  • the insert is then sealed by connecting to the upper surface of its upper peripheral flange 10 a sealing film 20 , preferably of metalized plastic material because such composite materials are impermeable to both liquids and vapours.
  • a sealing film 20 preferably of metalized plastic material because such composite materials are impermeable to both liquids and vapours.
  • the insert may be used in a variety of ways but in its simplest form it is placed within the neck of a binary component container, which already contains the other component of the two-component pharmaceutical composition referred to above, with its peripheral flange 10 resting on the rim of the container.
  • a few drops of liquid nitrogen are inserted into the container and an outer sealing lid is then rapidly applied before all the nitrogen has vaporised.
  • the initial vaporisation of the liquid nitrogen will fill the head space of the container with nitrogen and displace all atmospheric air and any bacteria contained therein.
  • the subsequent vaporisation of the nitrogen which occurs after application of the lid, will increase the pressure in the head space of the container to a super-atmospheric level. As this pressure increases, the lip 8 will yield outwardly to open up a small gas leakage path into the interior of the insert. The pressure in the interior of the insert will therefore over time reach a value substantially equal to that in the head space of the container.
  • the container lid When it is desired to administer the two-component pharmaceutical composition, the container lid is removed. This will result in instant depressurisation of the head space of the container.
  • the valve constituted by the engagement of the lip 8 with the spigot 14 is a one-way valve, by virtue of the orientation of the lip 8 .
  • the interior of the insert is thus not instantly depressurised and there is therefore a substantial pressure differential across the wall of the pocket 4 .
  • the rim 8 of the flow opening 6 will move out of contact with the spigot 14 , which is stationary.
  • the flow opening 6 is now unobstructed and the super-atmospheric pressure prevailing in the interior of the insert above the pharmaceutical component within it now acts to expel the pharmaceutical component rapidly through the opening 6 into the container, where it will mix with the pharmaceutical component already in the container with the aid of the mixing action produced by the high speed jet through the opening 6 .
  • the pocket may be so dimensioned and the container may be filled to such a level that the opening 6 is situated below the level of the liquid in the container, though this is not essential.
  • the insert will now be in the configuration shown in FIG. 4 and may be discarded.
  • the two-component pharmaceutical composition may now be administered to the patient.
  • FIG. 6 Such an integrated construction may comprise an insert as illustrated in FIGS. 1 to 5 secured within the lid, e.g. by virtue of a push-fit or by adhesive or the like.
  • this lid will necessarily have a cover plate, designated 22 in FIG. 6 , which will extend over the opening in the container and possibly also a depending peripheral skirt 24 , bearing a screw thread or the like (not shown) if the container is of conventional type with a dispensing opening formed in a neck.
  • the presence of the closure plate 22 opens up the possibility of omitting the sealing film 20 , the function of which is then fulfilled by the cover plate 22 , which is sealed by any appropriate means to the upper flange 10 of the insert.
  • the insert and lid described above are for use with a binary component container, that is to say a container which contains one component in the body of the container and a second component to be mixed with it in the insert.
  • the insert and lid in accordance with the invention can also be used for containers to contain three or more different components to be mixed shortly before use or administration.
  • the insert is for use with a container to contain three different components.
  • the base of the cup-shaped member 2 is formed with two sets of annular, preferably concentric, fold lines of opposite sets, a respective discharge opening being situated within each set of fold lines.
  • the interior of the reservoir defined by the insert is divided into two compartments by a partition which is integral with the wall and base of the insert and extends between the two sets of fold lines, whereby each of the compartments communicates with a respective flow opening.
  • a partition which is integral with the wall and base of the insert and extends between the two sets of fold lines, whereby each of the compartments communicates with a respective flow opening.
  • Also integrally formed with the cup-shaped member are two spigots and links, substantially the same as that illustrated in the figures, cooperating with respective flow openings.
  • the two compartments will be filled with different components and that operation of the insert is essentially the same as that described above, the only difference being that when the container is opened both flow openings will move downwardly and thus move out of contact with the associated spigots, whereby the two flow openings will be opened substantially simultaneously and the contents of the two compartments will be expelled into the body of the container substantially simultaneously and will be mixed with the third component already present in the body of the container.
