Definitions

  • This invention relates generally to fluid safety dispensers and, in particular, to a child resistant container having a dispensing valve that is operated by an independent keyed fluid dispenser.
  • Applicant's U.S. Patent 6,276,533 and 6,581,773 recognized the need for a weight based dosing regimen for pediatric elixirs, and disclosed a container mounted apparatus to accomplish the proper dosing; the contents of the patents are incorporated herein by reference.
  • These disclosures address the dosing recommendations on containers that are based on the child's age; unfortunately the significant variations of weights of children of the same age makes dosage determination based on age not only inaccurate but most dangerous. For instance, when a child's physician instructs a child's guardian to deliver a certain amount of elixir to a child on a certain date.
  • the dosage may not be correct if the child's weight has changed.
  • a child's weight can change quickly, and if the guardian does not inform the physician of the weight change, the dosage will be improper.
  • Continual adjustments in dosing, necessitated by the child' s rapidly changing body weight, are important to ensure maximum therapeutic response to a medication.
  • the guardian may not have a measuring cup or understand liquid conversions. For instance, if a guardian is instructed to provide 20ml of medication but has misplaced or was not provided with a measuring cup, the guardian may assume 1 ounce (over dosing) or 1 tablespoon (under dosing) is acceptable. Similarly, a guardian only conversant in the English system may receive instructions in ml and attempt to estimate the equivalent in teaspoons. Another example would be if a guardian is instructed to provide two teaspoons but employs a tablespoon. It is not uncommon for someone to believe one tablespoon equals two teaspoons (under dosing) . Further, the use of a teaspoon or tablespoon used for eating is not accurate as there is no required standard in the industry. Conventional eating spoons are shaped for aesthetic appearance, not for medical dosing.
  • Medication containers rely upon the use of the container cap as a measuring cup, again the medication is estimated as it is not possible to end with full caps unless the dosing is rounded upward or downward.
  • Medication containers may include a measurement container; however, they can be displaced or intermixed with other measuring containers, again risking improper dosing.
  • formulations generally contain aspirin, ibuprofen, salicylamide or acetaminophen, one or more conventional antihistaminics , decongestants, cough suppressants, antitussives and expectorants, and are designed to address cough, cold, cold/like and/or flu symptoms, discomfort, pain, headache, fever or any number of aliments and the general malaise associated therewith.
  • these medications are very predictable and beneficial.
  • it is not uncommon to hear a guardian inquire as to why their child's fever has not gone down despite the use of medication prescribed (typically underdosing) .
  • U.S. Pat. No. 3, 240, 373 discloses a container with a side type dispenser wherein a release lock tab prevents opening of the slide unless first released.
  • U.S. Pat. No. 3,160,301 discloses a container which uses a key and slot wherein the key is attached to an outer cap with a resilient, 'flexible strap.
  • U.S. Pat. No. 3,501,041 discloses a bottle cap having an inner cap member is enclosed by a sleeve member, and connecting means carried by the members provides for relative rotational and axial movement there between. Engagement of a separable locking means with the cap and sleeve members locks the members against relative rotational movement and thus permits threaded engagement or disengagement of the cap from the bottle.
  • U.S. Pat. No. 3,684,115 discloses a safety container having a skirt with internal screw threads to form a conventional screw cap closure, and an overcap completely covering the threaded closure member and being freely rotatable in relationship thereto.
  • the overcap has on its top a projecting stud and a similar shaped opening which serves as a key for unscrewing the inner closure member of another closure of similar construction.
  • U.S. Pat. No. 3,698,585 discloses an inner cap member adapted for being threaded onto the neck of a bottle for closing the opening therein.
  • An outer cap member interlocks with the inner cap member when it is turned in a direction to apply the inner cap member to the bottle. When turned in the opposite direction, the outer cap member normally does not interlock with the inner cap member.
  • U.S. Pat. No. 3,869,058 discloses a safety closure for a container to prevent inadvertent opening of the container.
  • the closure includes an inner cap having an internal threaded portion to be attached to the threads on the neck of the container and an outer cap overlying the inner cap.
  • the top of the inner cap has a raised plate or ledge which is tapered and is provided with notches extending inwardly of the outer rim and a spring centrally located on the top of the inner cap.
  • the underside of the top of the outer cap has tracks to form a guideway and a stop.
  • a slide is disposed on the guideway between the inner and outer cap and engages the stop to prevent lateral movement of the slide.
  • U.S. Pat. No. 4,281,771 discloses a child-resistant cap closure with incorporated means for over-ride of conventional normally disengaged torque couplings which includes a hole formed in the top surface of the outer cap, a formed plug having a locking protuberance and removal ring, and a plurality of spaced stop lugs formed annularly on the top surface of the inner cap.
  • the free and separate movement of the outer cap is prevented in either direction of rotation by the plug's insertion into the hole of the outer cap as to place the base of the plug in the space between the stop lugs of the inner cap, rendering the cap non-child-resistant at the time of consumer purchase.
  • U.S. Pat. No. 4,854,459 discloses a container having a cylindrical neck at the top and threads molded about the exterior of the neck, as well as an inner cap and outer cap.
  • the inner cap has a top and cylindrical side wall with threads molded on the inside of the side wall so as to mate with the threads of the container.
  • the top or side of the inner cap has ratchet type segments on its outside and the outer cap has ratchet type segments on the inside of its top or side.
  • the outer cap has a cylindrical side wall and is usually freely rotatable about the inner cap so as to be childproof. When in the childproof configuration as described, downward pressure is required by the user so as to engage the two ratchet type segments and thereby engage the two caps to permit opening.
  • U.S. Pat. No. 5,115,928 discloses a child-resistant closure and shell.
  • the shell mounts a latching key and the closure provides a complementary latch.
  • An alignment structure provides for aligning the latch and key for movement of the latching key from a mode in which the key is inactive to a mode in which it engages the latch to inactivate the child-resistant function of the closure. In that position the shell and closure are movable in both clockwise and counter-clockwise directions.
  • Spring fingers may be provided to elevate the shell relative to the closure to provide an additional child-resistant function.
  • the latching key may be hingedly or slideably secured to the shell .
  • U.S. Pat. No. 5,484,070 discloses a container having a syringe tip connector for coupling to a container, the device directed to aspirating medication into a syringe for oral administration to children, adults or animals.
  • U.S. Pat. No. 7,111,746 discloses a child resistant closure having a pair of nested inner and outer caps.
  • the inner cap is coaxially positioned and nested within the outer cap such that a row of angular abutments on the inner cap engage a row of angular abutments on the outer cap when engaged to allow rotation of the cap.
  • the present invention provides a container and keyed fluid dispenser to inhibit inadvertent access to unmeasured quantities of potentially dangerous products, such as medicines, by requiring the user to repeat one or more deliberate steps before fluid can be extracted from the container .
  • the fluid safety dispenser system of the instant invention includes a container for storage of fluids having an opening in the container for passageway of the fluids stored therein.
  • a dispensing valve is positionable in the opening employing a spring loaded valve member capable of displacement between an open position to allow fluid passage and a closed position to eliminate fluid passage, and a keyed fluid dispenser releasably securable to the dispensing valve for use in drawing fluid from the container.
  • An objective of the instant invention is to disclose a dispensing valve having a spring loaded valve member forming a flow through chamber when displaced by a keyed fluid dispenser, the dispensing valve forming a child resistant protector.
  • Another objective of the instant invention is to disclose the use of a keyed fluid dispenser that can be temporarily secured to a container having a matched dispensing valve.
  • Another objective of the instant invention is to disclose the use of a keying receptacle positioned on keyed fluid dispenser wherein the keyed fluid dispenser must be attached to a container before fluid can be drawn from the container, and the keyed fluid dispenser must be detached before the fluid from the keyed fluid dispenser can be released, wherein the fluid container is maintained in a closed position when the keyed fluid dispenser is detached.
  • Still another objective of the instant invention is to disclose the use of a geometrically keyed syringe dispenser and fluid container.
  • Yet another objective of the instant invention is to eliminate the need for a sealing cap.
  • Yet still another objective of the instant invention is to disclose the use of a keyed syringe dispenser having measurement indicia for use in measuring the amount of fluid drawn from a container.
  • Another objective of the invention is to provide a container that is economical to manufacture and easy to use.

  • the container may contain most any fluid, but for purposes of illustration, the container detailed in this specification will be a bottle used for storing liquid medicines for children.
  • the upper section 16 of the container resembles a conventional bottle having a mouth 18 with threads 20 for receipt of a threaded cap 21.
  • a valve assembly 22 is inserted into an opening of the mouth of the container for use in combination with a keyed fluid dispenser 24 allowing controlled retrieval of the fluids stored within the container.
  • the keyed fluid dispenser of the instant invention is defined by a handle 26 having a shaft 28 coupling the handle to a plunger 30 that is used for drawing fluid into ' the chamber 32 by pulling a vacuum in the dispenser.
  • the end of the keyed fluid dispenser includes a receptacle insert 34 specifically designed to engage the valve assembly 22. But for the receptacle insert, the keyed fluid dispenser assimilates a conventional syringe type device.
  • the dispenser valve assembly 22 has an aperture 31 for receipt of the receptacle insert 34.
  • the aperture includes grooves 41 which operate as a keying mechanism for receipt of matched protrusion 42 arranged on the receptacle insert 34. When keyed alike, the grooves 41 and protrusions 42 cooperate for temporarily accessing the fluid held within the container 10.
  • the aperture 31 and protrusions 42 are geometrically arranged to create a mating receptacle for use forming a dripless interface. Although simple protrusions are depicted, it will be recognized to those skilled in the art that the protrusions can be of any shape, size, position, or combination thereof so as to provide a keyed locking mechanism unique to a keyed fluid dispenser for either a particular manufacturer, line of products, or type of product .
  • the keyed fluid dispenser 24 permits a child's guardian to insure that the medication to be dosed to a child can be performed without displacing ' all medication held in a cabinet or refrigerator. If all medication containers are keyed, only the proper keyed fluid dispensers need be provided, thereby assuring that only the particular medication is utilized. This has particular benefit for medication that must be refrigerated, as it is difficult to hide medication in an unlocked refrigerator, and expensive to have a locked refrigerator for medicine only. Further, most medicine cabinets are unlocked and become a facilitator for selecting the wrong medicine.
  • the keyed fluid dispenser is not affected by temperature and can be left on a counter to provide a visual reminder of medication due. The keyed fluid dispenser would have no other use and preferably be discarded or recycled after use.
  • the top 56 of the valve assembly forms a cover over a valve body 50.
  • the upper surface 52 of the valve body 50 has a notched area 54 for receipt of the protrusions 42, and is designed to allow the protrusions to rotate beneath the lower surface 58 of the top, temporarily securing the keyed fluid dispenser 24 to the valve assembly. Securing the keyed fluid dispenser to the valve assembly, and thus the bottle, insures proper alignment of the receptacle to the bottle by forcing a proper seal necessary during the draw of fluid from the container. As the level of fluid in the bottle is consumed, it may be more convenient to invert the bottle to draw fluid into the keyed fluid dispenser with the assistance of gravity.
  • the outer surface of the valve body 50 is circular in shape and employs an interior chamber 62 for receipt of displacement valve 6 .
  • the displacement valve 64 has a frusta-conical upper 66 to permit self-alignment into a circular 68 that adjoins notched area 54 and aperture 31.
  • the displacement valve 64 includes a top sealing surface 70 that is juxtaposition against lower surface 72 of the valve body 50 creating a fluid seal for containing the fluids within the bottle until otherwise drawn.
  • a spring 76 is positioned between a bottom surface 78 of valve body 64 and a spring ramp 80. The spring 76 maintains the valve body 64 in a sealed position when the keyed fluid dispenser 24 is removed from the aperture 31.
  • the upper 66 on the valve body 64 is sized to open only when the keyed fluid dispenser 24 has been inserted far enough so that the receptacle end is depressed firmly against the upper 66 to create a fluid seal.
  • the protrusions must be inserted into the notched area 54 for a proper seal to occur.
  • the spring can be made of a higher tension to further inhibit children from accessing the fluids by requiring a higher fluid dispenser mounting pressure.
  • the keyed fluid dispenser 24 is illustrated as being disengaged from the container 10, the protrusions 42 aligned for immediate insertion into grooves 41.

For instance, if the displacement valve is to be engaged, fluid could not be removed as no seal would be made to a keyed syringe. Thus, when the container is inverted, the fluid would likely fall to the floor. Further, if an inappropriate keyed fluid dispenser is used, without proper engagement of the grooves 100, the plunger could not draw fluid as no vacuum would be created.
