Definitions
- ABSTRACT This invention relates to a clam-shell squeeze housing for an aerosol, an actuator for the aerosol, and cooperating means between the squeeze housing and actuator to move the actuator toward the aerosol and actuate it when the housing is squeezed, with means to return the parts to nor mal in operative position upon release of the housing.
- the commonly available form of dispenser comprises an aerosol container with a valved outlet, this being opened by the application of pressure so that the outlet communicates with the interior of the container. Normally, the pressure is applied directly onto the outlet and towards the container. Thus, it is usual for the container to beheld upright in the palm of a hand, and the pressure to be applied by flexing a finger extending upwards onto a suitable plunger device. Another common manner of operatingis for the container to be held inverted between thumb and index finger, and the pressure to be applied by flexing the two digits.
- valved outlet can be operated in a most advantageous manner by placing the container in a squeezable housing and having an actuator connected to the outlet. Coacting means can then ensure that, when the housing is squeezed, the actuator is moved towards the container so as to operate and open the valve.
- Coacting means can then ensure that, when the housing is squeezed, the actuator is moved towards the container so as to operate and open the valve.
- the apparatus can be readily constructed of such a size and shape that it can be held hidden in one hand and, therefore, operated in a most discreet manner, yet without the necessity for too much strength, particularly important points when considering the use of medicament containing aerosol devices by patients, especially the weak and infirm.
- the present invention provides an aerosol dispensing apparatus for use with an aerosol container having a valved outlet, comprising a squeezable housing and an actuator, the actuator beingconnectable to the valved outlet and there being coacting means such that, when the housing is squeezed, the actuator is moved towards the container so as to operate and open the valve and release at least some of the contents of the container.
- the housing may be formed of two segments hinged together at the base.
- the hinging may be achieved by corresponding projections and recesses, these being movably joined together by any suitable means, such as by a rivet, nail or screw; or even by virtue of the projections being a tight push-fit into the recesses.
- Each segment may have a projection on one side and a corresponding recess on the other, so that the two segments may be identical.
- the projections and recesses are desirably integral with the segments, and may be so shaped that the segments can be squeezed together but are prevented from opening completely, though at least sufficiently forreplacement of the aerosol container as required.
- Each segment may have internallya part which overlaps the other segment so that in use, even when the two segments are as far apart as is allowed by the shaping of the projections and recesses, the aerosol container is not visible.
- the segments may be made of any acceptable material; most preferably they are made of polypropylene, polyethylene or polystyrene.
- the housing may advantageously be formed of one piece of polypropylene. Opposite sides of the piece may be relatively thick and, in effect, will be equivalent to two separate segments, but the two sides will be joined together by two thin membranes which can be readily folded up whenever the piece is squeezed. Similarly, there may be an integral hinge of relatively thin material across the base of the piece.
- the housing may be translucent or opaque. Also, it may be colored with any desired pigment.
- the shape of the housing depends primarily on the shape of the aerosol container. Normally, it is substantially circular so that, when it is formed of two segments, each is substantially semicircular.
- the coacting means whereby the actuator is moved towards the container when the housing is squeezed is preferably provided by a cam and cooperating followers.
- the cam (or cams) may be on the actuator and the followers (desirably two per cam) internally on the housing.
- each segment may have internally near its top and at the two outermost points a cam follower, and each of these may be so positioned relative to its cooperating cam that, upon the housing being squeezed, the followers ride up the cams, pulling the actuator towards the housing and, therefore, towards the aerosol container.
- the actuator usually comprises a delivery orifice (mist button") into a delivery tube whichmay be at any desired angle to ensure the most convenient presentation of the contents in the aerosol container.
- the actuator may also comprise a skirt having holes which allow the passage of air past the mist button and thereby aid the presentation of the aerosol material.
- the actuator skirt may be a sliding push-fit on the top of the aerosol container, and the camsof the preferred coacting means may be advantageously positioned on the skirt.
- the actuator may be protected by means of an over-cap. Conveniently this fits on the top of the housing, and has projections which ensure the housing cannot be squeezed by .chance pressure to cause inadvertent operation of the dispensing mechanism.
- the over-cap may have a pair of projections which keep the two segments apart.
- FIG. 1 is an exploded" perspective view of the parts of an embodiment constructed according to the invention
- FIG. 2 is a view in side elevation of the embodiment shown in FIG. 1,
- FIG. 3 is a view of the lower part of the embodiment shown in FIG. 1, part being in section, and the actuator being in the normal nondispensing position,
- FIG. 4 is a view similar to FIG. 3, the actuator being in the actuated dispensing position
- FIG. 5 is a transverse sectional view of another form of housing, in normal nondispensing position.
- FIG. 6 is a like view of the form of housing shown in FIG. 5 but in the actuated dispensing position.
- an aerosol container for example, 20 ml
- a valve part 2 for example, 20 mm. diameter
- a delivery orifice 4 in the stem 3 communicates with the interior of the container 1 upon the stem 3 being depressed.
- An actuator 5 of e.g. polypropylene fits on the stem 3, and has a mist button 6, a delivery tube 7, and a skirt 8.
- the skirt 8 has air holes 9, and has a sliding push-fit on the periphery of the valve part 2 which is crimped over the top portion of the container 1.
- the skirt bears two exterior cams 10a and 10b, as shown, adjacent the open lower edge thereof.
- the container 1 is situated within a segmented housing having two segments 11a and 11b of e.g. polypropylene hinged together at the combined base 12.
- Projecting parts 12a correspond closely but not exactly with recesses 12b and are joined by means of rivets 120, the shaping being such that the two segments 11a and 11b are held in position and may be squeezed together but are prevented from opening completely, though sufficiently for replacement of the container 1 as required.
- Each segment 11a and 11b has interiorly an overlapping part 13a and 13b, and two projecting parts (followers) represented respectively by 14a and 14b.
- the pairs of followers 14a and 14b engage with the corresponding cams 10a and 10b.
- the segments 11a and 11b have upper lips 15a and 15b which fit into a protecting over-cap 16 of e.g. polypropylene.
- This over-cap 16 has a projection 17 either side (one only shown), each extending into the respective spaces 18a and 1812 between the segments 11a and 11b (see FIG. 2).
- the top of the cap 16 has raised rib parts 19.
- the device In use, the device is held with the segmented housing in the palm of a hand, and the over-cap 16 is removed, this being aided by the raised parts 19.
- the positioning of the raised parts 19 and the shaping of the projections 17 ensure that normally the over-cap 16 will be pulled or pushed off in a forward direction as shown by the arrow A in FIG. 1, thereby reducing the chances of damage to the actuator 5.
- the two segments 11:: and 11b may then be squeezed together simply by flexing the fingers on one side and the thumb on the other.
- the pairs of followers 14a and 14b slide up the respective cams 10a and 10b, simultaneously pulling the actuator downwards, causing the stem 3 to be depressed into the interior of the valve part 2 (as shown in FIG. 4), and thus opening the valve.
- the contents of the container 1, or a metered quantity thereof, depending on theprecise construction of the valve part 2, are then released, passing through the orifice 4 to the mist button 6 and out into the delivery tube 7. Accordingly, by appropriate angling of the apparatus, the contents of the container 1 may be directed wherever desired.
- over-cap 16 may be refitted over the lips 15a and 15b. With the over-cap 16 in position, the projections 17 prevent any chance pressure on .the segments 11a and 11b causing inadvertent operation of the dispensing mechanism.
- FIGS. 5 and 6 there is shown a housing 21 formed of one piece of e.g. polypropylene. Opposite sides 21a ⁇ and 21b are relatively thick, about the same thickness as segments 11a and 11b in FIGS. 1 to 4, the two sides 21a and 21b being joined together by two thin membranes 21c and 21d. As jshown in FIG. 6, the membranes 21c and 21d are readily .jfolded up when the housing 21 is squeezed. Otherwise, the
- the aerosol container may be of any convenient form.
- any of the conventional aerosol containers may be employed with the dispensing apparatus of the present invention.
- the container may be made of metal, glass or plastic, the selected type depending primarily on the internal pressure desired. Even so, because the container is within the housing and, therefore, normally not visible, its appearance is I less important than with many of the conventional aerosol containers.
- valve in the aerosol container may be of any convenient form. Most preferably, however, it is a metering valve.
- the contents of the aerosol container may be any of "those normally presented by the aerosol technique. Nevertheless, the present invention has been developed particularly for the presentation of medicaments for inhalation therapy.
