  • Patent number: 8584839
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a removable device for preserving and releasing a product contained in a reservoir (2) having a rupturable wall. Said device is in the form of a stopper (1) intended to be fitted on a container (5), and comprises: a cap (3) which is able to engage with the neck (50) of the container (5) and through which passes a hollow dispensing tube (12) which leads into said container (5), and an insert (4) able to be positioned on or in the neck (50) of the container. The cap (3) and the insert (4) delimit a rigid chamber (10) of variable volume, containing at least one reservoir (2) containing said product and at least one opening (11) for releasing the product in the container (5). Means enable the cap (3) and the insert (4) to be moved closer together, reducing the volume of the chamber (10) and rupturing the reservoirs (2). These means consist of a screw thread (30) present on the cap (3) and engaging with the screw thread (51) on the neck (50).

  • Patent number: 8297436
    Abstract: A protection sleeve for a drug blister, includes a horizontal drawer holding the blister, a sheath inside which the drawer is mounted so as to be capable of sliding between a closed position and an open position, and first locking elements for locking the drawer in a closed position, that include at least a first transverse face for blocking the drawer and to be arranged against a second transverse face for blocking the sheath when the drawer is in the closed position, the first blocking face being provided on a segment of the drawer mounted so as to pivot about a longitudinal axis between a locking angular position and a release angular position, characterized in that at least one of the blocking face is supported by an elastically deformable locking tab so that the locking can be achieved by the elastic engagement of the tab behind the other blocking face.
