Abstract: A liquid dispensing system for oral administration comprises a dispenser (16,18,20) and cartridges (14) from which medicine is dispensed. Each cartridge (14) includes a hollow shell (22,24) with a septum (26) at one end, a piston (28) at the other end, and the medicine in a cavity (23) between the septum and the piston. The dispenser includes receiver (20) in which a cartridge (14) is received, a plunger (18) that can slide relative to the receiver and that has a plunging head (52) that can drive the piston (28), and a barrel (16) in which the cartridge (14), receiver (20) and plunger (18) can be received, at least partly. Once a cartridge (14) has been inserted into the receiver (20), the receiver and cartridge are inserted into the barrel (16) and a piercing head (44) ruptures the septum (26). The plunger (18) is pushed to drive the piston (28) and the medicine is dispensed by the piston, through a discharge passage (42) of the barrel (16).

Abstract: A closure (10) for a container (12) is disclosed wherein the closure has an inner part that is attachable to the container (12) around the opening of the container (12) and an outer part (20) that is receivable on the inner part (18). The inner part (18) defines at least two inner apertures (34; 36), and the outer part (20) defines at least one outer aperture (52). A bias means (60), is configured to exert a bias between the inner (18) and outer (20) parts. The outer part (20) can slide relative to the inner part (18) when received on the inner part (18), said sliding being between a rest position in which the outer aperture (52) is blocked by the inner part (18), a first dispensing position in which the outer aperture (52) is aligned with a first one of the inner apertures (36), and a second dispensing position in which the outer aperture (52) is aligned with the second of the inner apertures (34).
