Abstract: The disclosed embodiments include a protective housing for a fragile article for containing fluid medicament.

Abstract: The application discloses a multi-chamber, multi-formulation fluid delivery system, comprising a multi-chamber applicator in fluid communication with multi-chamber packaging. Applicators according to the instant disclosure have reduced squeeze-strength requirements, and are useful for dispensing fluids, including medicaments, to animals, including livestock animals. The multi-chamber packaging provides separate storage for formulations containing incompatible active ingredients, and is suitable for use with the multi-chamber applicator. The application also discloses methods for using the system to simultaneously deliver multiple active ingredients, at least some of which are not suitable for co-formulation, thus reducing the time, economic burden and animal stress involved with applying multiple, separate formulations to animals.

Abstract: An applicator 102 has a fluid supply inlet (14), an outlet (4) and a barrel (1) having a barrel outlet (2) and a barrel inlet (15a). The barrel inlet (15) is in fluid communication, or selective fluid communication, with the fluid supply inlet (14). A one way outlet valve (3) is in fluid communication with the barrel outlet (2) and with the outlet (4). The applicator 100 has piston actuation means (32) for moving a piston (5) relative to the barrel (1). The applicator further comprises pressure limiting means (10) for limiting a maximum pressure of fluid entering the barrel (1) from the fluid supply inlet (14).

Abstract: A valve operating mechanism for use in a fluid dispenser is described, wherein the fluid dispenser includes a reservoir for a fluid to be delivered, a fluid outlet for the reservoir, a piston configured to move through the reservoir, and an actuator for the piston, the valve operating mechanism including a valve, wherein the valve has an upstream side and a downstream side, and in at least one point of operation of the valve operating mechanism, the valve is inoperable as a consequence of the pressure difference between the upstream side of the valve and the downstream side of the valve.
