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 reservoir with an opening defined by a peripheral edge for engagement with a sealing element, the reservoir, in use, together with a sealing element, defining a substantially sealed space, the reservoir including a stationary portion and a movable portion, the movable portion being connected to the stationary portion and being movable with respect thereto by the action of gas pressure within the reservoir, a discharge opening being formed in the movable portion, a gas leakage path being provided in the reservoir , 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 movement of the movable portion relative to the stationary portion and thus in the valve member moving out of sealing contact with the discharge opening.
  • the opening will be sealed by a sealing element and 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.
  • this pressurisation of the head space of the container may be conveniently effected by adding a few drops of e.g. liquid nitrogen into the container immediately before it is sealed. Vaporisation of the nitrogen will commence immediately and the initial vaporisation will result in the atmospheric air in the head space being replaced by the nitrogen. Subsequent vaporisation of the nitrogen after application of the sealing lid will result in pressurisation of the head space.
  • the gas leakage path in the reservoir will progressively admit pressurised gas into its interior, whereby the pressure within the reservoir will reach a value substantially the same as that in the pressurised head space of the container. When the container lid is removed, the head space of the container will be instantly depressurised.
  • 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 reservoir will be created.
  • This will act on the movable portion of the reservoir and will result in relative movement of the movable portion of the reservoir with respect to, that is to say away from, the stationary portion.
  • This movement of the movable portion away from the stationary portion inherently produces 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 movable portion of the reservoir may take many forms and in one embodiment of the invention comprises a resilient, e.g. elastomeric, membrane, which is attached to the remainder of the reservoir and in which the gas discharge opening is formed.
  • a resilient, e.g. elastomeric, membrane which is attached to the remainder of the reservoir and in which the gas discharge opening is formed.
  • the reservoir is a one-piece plastic moulding comprising a diaphragm and the movable portion is connected to the stationary portion by at least two annular fold lines of opposite sense, 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.
  • a pressure differential acts across the reservoir wall of this embodiment, this will produce relative rotation of the annular portions of the reservoir on each side of each fold line, which effectively constitutes an integral hinge, and this rotation will result in movement of the movable portion and thus also of the discharge opening away from the stationary portion.
  • the stationary and movable portions are slidably connected together in the manner of a piston and cylinder, that is to say telescopically.
  • a pressure differential acts across the reservoir wall, the movable portion slides with respect to the stationary portion in a direction away from the stationary portion, which again results in the valve member moving out of cooperation with the discharge opening.
  • 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 peripheral edge.
  • 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. In use, 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 may be supplied to a bottle manufacturer or the like in an unsealed condition, that is to say without the opening being sealed by a sealing element.
  • 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 invention therefore embraces an insert both with and without a sealing element.
  • 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.
  • Figure 1 is an axial sectional view of a first embodiment of an insert in accordance with the present invention in the "as-moulded" state;
  • Figure 2 is an axial sectional view of the insert of Figure 1 in the operative configuration
  • Figure 3 is an axial sectional view on the line 3-3 in Figure 2 which additionally shows an optional modification
  • Figure 4 is a view similar to Figures 1 and 2 showing the insert after its contents have been expelled into a container;
  • Figure 5 is a scrap view on an enlarged scale showing the valve spigot located in the flow opening
  • Figure 6 is a view similar to Figure 3 showing a container cap incorporating an insert in accordance with the invention.
  • Figures 7 and 8 are axial sectional views of a further embodiment of container cap in accordance with the invention in the operative condition and after its contents have been expelled, respectively.
  • the insert illustrated in Figures 1 to 5 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.
  • the insert When the insert is ejected from the mould, it has the configuration shown in Figure 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 Figure 5.
  • a peripheral flange 10 Moulded integrally with the upper peripheral edge of the insert is 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.
  • an upstanding support 16 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. This support may, however, not be necessary and may thus be omitted.
  • 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 Figure 1, until it reaches the position shown in Figure 2.
  • the free end, which is of frastoconical 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 metallised plastic material because such composite materials are impermeable to both liquids and vapours.
  • a sealing film 20 preferably of metallised 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 superatmospheric 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. This results in instantaneous movement of the pocket downwardly accompanied by simultaneous unfolding of the various folds in its annular wall, this unfolding being in opposite senses in adjacent folds.
  • 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 superatmospheric 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 Figure 4 and may be discarded.
  • the two-component pharmaceutical composition may now be administered to the patient.
  • the insert in accordance with the invention and the closure or lid are applied to the container separately. It may, however, be more convenient to integrate the insert with the lid and such a construction is shown in Figure 6.
  • Such an integrated construction may comprise an insert as illustrated in Figures 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 Figure 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 Figures 1 to 6, 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.
  • FIGS 7 and 8 show an alternative embodiment in which the movability of the movable portion is achieved by a totally different mechanism.
  • the fixed portion 2 of the reservoir comprises a short tube or annular flange which is integrally moulded with the closure plate 22 of a closure cap.
  • the movable portion 4 of the reservoir is of generally cup shape comprising a bottom portion 30, in which the flow opening is formed, and an integral upstanding side wall 32 which is a sliding fit around the flange 2.
  • the upper inner edge of the side wall 32 carries a protruberance 34 and the lower inner edge of the flange 2 carries a similar protuberance 36.
  • Operation of this embodiment is generally similar to that of the preceding embodiment except that, when the container is opened, the pressure differential across the reservoir results in the movable portion 4 sliding downwardly on the flange 2 until the spigot 14 moves out of the opening 6, as shown in Figure 8, and the contents of the reservoir are expelled into the container by the pressure within the reservoir.
  • the protuberances 34 and 36 cooperate to ensure that the movable portion 4 is retained captive on the container lid.
  • this second embodiment is in the form of a closure or lid, it will be appreciated that the spigot 14 could be supported by an arm or link similar to the link 12 in the first embodiment and in this event the embodiment would constitute an insert rather than a closure. It will also be appreciated that this embodiment could also be readily adapted to inject two or more additional components into a container by providing two or more flow openings 6, which are separated from one another by partitions and cooperate with respective spigots.

Abstract

La présente invention concerne un insert pour un contenant de composants multiples comprenant un réservoir avec une ouverture définie par un bord périphérique qui est reliée, en fonctionnement, à un élément de fermeture (20). En fonctionnement, le réservoir et l’élément de fermeture définissent un espace sensiblement clos. Le réservoir comprend une partie fixe (2) et une partie mobile (4) reliée à la partie fixe et mobile par rapport à celle-ci du fait de l’action de la pression gazeuse à l’intérieur du réservoir. Une ouverture de décharge (6) est formée dans la partie mobile (4) et une voie de fuite de gaz est réalisée dans la paroi du réservoir. Un élément de vanne (14) est connecté à la partie fixe (2) et coopère avec l’ouverture de décharge (6) et la ferme sensiblement. L’application d’une pression gazeuse plus importante sur l’intérieur du réservoir que sur son extérieur fait que la partie mobile (4) s’éloigne de la partie fixe (2) et donc que l’élément de vanne (14) n’est plus en contact étanche avec l’ouverture de décharge (6).
