Definitions

  • the invention relates to an apparatus for separately storing a substance such as a pharmaceutical agent and a liquid, and mixing them before dispensing, with a first container containing the liquid, a second container containing the substance having a bottom to be opened so that the Substance can enter the liquid, and with a device which is advanceable to exert a force on the bottom of the second container, so that it is opened, further comprising a tubular insert which is inserted into a neck of the first container, wherein the front part of a pump device slidably engages in the tubular insert and forms the force-applying device.
  • a substance such as a pharmaceutical agent and a liquid
  • the substance may be any substance in solid or liquid form which is initially intended to be kept separate from the liquid in the first container and mixed with this liquid before use.
  • the substance may be, for example, freeze-dried lactic acid bacteria, which is mixed with a suitable suspension liquid for probiotic applications before use.
  • the second container containing the substance is constituted by a tubular insert inserted in the neck of the first container having a bottle shape.
  • a predetermined breaking groove is formed, so that the soil can be broken or unfolded by the action of force, so that the substance falls into the liquid of the first container.
  • the opening of the floor is accomplished by the front part of an airless pump, which is slidably disposed in the insert. When the airless pump is advanced in the longitudinal direction of the first container, ie pushed into the container, it breaks open the bottom of the insert.
  • US 6,230,884 B1 discloses a container cap having a blister pack which is opened by depressing a neck portion of the cap, a pen-like lug pushing a tablet out of the blister pack which falls into the liquid in a bottle. This ambient air can enter the bottle unhindered.
  • the US 4,770,323 addresses the problem of providing a sterile package for a fluid which is hermetically sealed by a rupturable sealing membrane until it is first dispensed, allowing unobstructed dispensing of the container contents over a long period of time after rupture of the sealing membrane.
  • a tubular perforating member is pushed through the sealing membrane and engages a riser in the container, the riser being connected to a dispensing channel extending through the cap of the package. Even with this packaging, air may enter the package after the sealing membrane breaks open.
  • WO 01/30668 A discloses a dispenser according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • the dispenser includes on the housing part to which the front part of the pump is fixed, a spaced from the peripheral wall of the pump sealing lip which slidably rests against the inner wall of the container, in which engages the pump part , The task of the sealing lip is to prevent the escape of liquid from the container.
  • the housing member which defines an annular air space above the container, is engaged on its cylindrical outer wall either with annular projections in spaced apart annular grooves in the outer side of the neck of the outer container or is in a threaded engagement therewith.
  • the present invention has for its object to provide a device in which the above-mentioned malfunctions when pumping the liquid are largely avoided.
  • the invention provides that the front part of the pump device is held by a pump housing part, which limits an air space in the retracted initial position of the pump above the tubular insert, and in that in a wall, preferably the peripheral wall of the pump housing part, at least one through the wall Is formed opening through which the air escapes from the decreasing air space to the outside during the advancement of the airless pump, without this air enters the first container.
  • the front part of the pump device is sealed at its outer periphery by at least one annular seal against the tubular insert.
  • the peripheral wall of the tubular insert has at least one opening passing through the wall, preferably one or more elongated slots, preferably extending from the free end of the tubular insert to about half its height. Through these openings or slots enters the Liquid in the insert and thus in the intake of the pump, wherein at the same time in the interior of the tubular insert located air can escape through these slots.
  • the second container is formed by a blister pack which is attached to the tubular insert.
  • the substance is sealed in a housing which has a preferably flat bottom and a substantially cup-shaped or bubble-shaped upper chamber wall. To release the substance of the flat bottom or the flat rear wall is broken, wherein the chamber wall is preferably everted through the bottom.
  • the bottom wall consists of an aluminum foil or a multilayer foil containing aluminum, and this may also apply to the chamber wall.
  • an aluminum-containing multilayer film PE-AL-PVC is mentioned without the invention being limited thereto.
  • the chamber wall can be made of LDPE (possibly with an aluminum layer).
  • This blister pack is conveniently attached to the tubular insert, which may protrude into the first container.
  • the attachment can be done in any suitable manner, for example, by the fact that, for example, 3 to 4 mm wide edge of the blister pack is attached by ultrasonic welding to the lower edge of the insert element, wherein instead of a fastening by hot stamping is possible.
  • Other ways of attaching the blister pack are these for example, with an overcap to clamp firmly or to snag with the insert element.
  • the attachment can be done in any suitable way.
  • the front part of the pump means preferably the suction part of an airless pump, is slidably disposed and constitutes the force applying means with which the bottom of the blister pack can be broken.
  • the front part of the pump device is advanced so that the bottom of the blister pack opens inevitably.
  • the curved chamber wall of the blister pack can be everted through the broken bottom without being injured or broken up.
  • the blister pack further closes the lower opening of the tubular insert.
  • a cutting device is attached, which may be formed for example by a sharp-edged metal ring.
  • the curved chamber wall of the blister pack is broken or cut.
  • the tubular insert forms the second container, as in the DE 197 42 559 C2 the case is.
  • the bottom of the second container containing the substance when the bottom of the second container containing the substance is opened by advancing the suction end of the airless pump in the tubular insert, it is prevented that air is pressed into the interior of the liquid container.
  • This is independent of whether a blister pack is used as a container for the substance or - as in the case of DE 197 42 559 C2 -
  • the tubular insert itself forms the second container and has a réellehyroidden floor.
  • FIG. 1 shows the device comprises a bottom cap 1, above a tearing ring 2 for tamper-evident, which is attached to the lower edge of a housing part 3, and an upper cap 4.
  • the upper cap 4 covers a generally designated 5 airless pump 5 and is in front of them Remove operation.
  • the suction part 9 of the pump 5 is fixed to a pump casing part 11 having a cylindrical peripheral wall 12 abutting the outside of the wall portion 8 of the tubular insert 7 and one at the upper end portion of the pump Suction part 9 adjacent upper wall 12a includes, which define an annular chamber 13 together with the suction part 9 and the top of the tubular insert 7.
  • a pump casing part 11 having a cylindrical peripheral wall 12 abutting the outside of the wall portion 8 of the tubular insert 7 and one at the upper end portion of the pump Suction part 9 adjacent upper wall 12a includes, which define an annular chamber 13 together with the suction part 9 and the top of the tubular insert 7.
