Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a metering device for a substance, in particular a liquid, for placement on a container having a container opening, with a first part, which can be fixed via fastening means to the container.

  • the dosing accuracy of such devices is not yet optimal.
  • the size of the dispensed drops may vary, which can lead to a significantly different dosage.
  • the drop size depends not only on the geometry of the metering device but also on other parameters, such as the air pressure, the temperature and the surface tension of the substance to be dispensed.
  • the drip rate changes with the level in the container such that when the container is full, the delivery is slow and with increasing speed emptying container. Smaller particles, such as those commonly found in herbal medicines, can alter the diameter of the orifice defining the size of the drop and prevent accurate dosing.
  • drying residues of the substance to be dispensed can influence the dosage at the metering device.
  • the counting of drops especially for children and the elderly, for the sick or patients with poor eyesight is not always easy. As a result, errors in counting the drops can lead to incorrect dosages.

Due to the provision of the metering chamber, which has the respectively desired volume, the substance to be metered can be metered without cumbersome drop counting with high accuracy. It is sufficient to connect the second part with the first part and to fill the dosing with the substance, such as a liquid drug from the container. The measured amount of the substance can then simply be taken by emptying the second part. This can be done particularly easily after removal of the second part of the first part. Additional aids, such as a spoon, on which the metered amount is initially dispensed, can be omitted.
  • the metering of the substance is particularly simple if at the outlet a valve is arranged, which is movable between an open position and a closed position. This design also makes it possible to largely avoid the accidental release of the substance or the ingress of contaminants in the containers.
  • a valve seat is formed on a housing portion of the first part, that the valve has a movable valve member with a sealing portion and that the sealing portion of the valve member in the closed position bears resiliently on the valve seat. Due to the elastically yielding design, the valve can be automatically held in the closed position and yet be easily opened for dispensing the substance.
