  • Patent number: 10737872
    Abstract: A dispensing mechanism dispenses even doses of a substance, and comprises a base, a leverable surface, a stepper mechanism; and a space for an application substance. The levered surface is hinged at one end or is collapsible and is pressed downwards towards the base to squeeze the space to force the substance out of the cartridge. The stepper mechanism is located at the far end of the leverable surface to halt pressing at intervals corresponding to even doses of the substance. A carrier for a cartridge incorporating the dispensing mechanism comprises a housing which may be pressed to squeeze the cartridge and dispense the substance, an insertion opening through which the dispensing cartridge is inserted and a dispensing opening which lines up with a spout on the cartridge and through which the liquid is dispensed. The carrier may be attached to the wrist or to bicycle handlebars and the like.

  • Publication number: 20150126944
    Abstract: The present invention comprises a system for applying small quantities of antiseptic such as a solution of chlorhexidine to a human patient. The system includes a container of 10-50 mL having an opening proximate the top end of the container and a closed end at the bottom. A dispenser for dispensing 0.05 to 0.2 mL of antiseptic through an opening of 0.8 to 4.8 mm is provided. A reclosable cap is further provided for sealing the top end of the container and retaining the antiseptic in the container. In a preferred embodiment, the dispenser comprises a roller ball of 1-5 mm which is rotatably mounted in the opening of the container, with a peripheral seal maintained around the opening for sealing the edges of the roller ball while allowing rotation thereof within the opening. This allows the antiseptic to remain on the ball so that the antiseptic may be dispensed to the patient in limited quantities without dripping from the dispenser.

  • Publication number: 20140114261
    Abstract: A method and device for dispensing a liquid from a tip includes a support structure, a cartridge, and a drive unit. The support structure is adapted for supporting a collapsible container having a connector end and a closed end. The support structure includes a liquid passage adapted for fluid communication with the collapsible container for selectively discharging the liquid. The cartridge includes an actuator selectively movable from a first position to the second position via the operatively connected drive unit. At least a portion of the actuator moves toward the connector end when moving from the first position to the second position. The actuator is adapted for gradually compressing the collapsible container from the closed end toward the connector end in order to discharge liquid droplets.

  • Patent number: 8690025
    Abstract: A dispensing container according to the invention includes a container body having a rod-like shape. The dispensing container is therefore compact and the user can hold the dispensing container as if the user holds a pen and use the thumb, the index finger, and any other finger to apply pressure to the dispensing container so as to dispense a drug solution. A heat insulating grip is attached to the outer circumferential surface of the container body, whereby heat originating from the body temperature of a finger of the user will not be transferred to the drug solution or volatilize it. No excessive dispensing that is not intended by the user will therefore occur. Since the container body is thin and hence unlikely crashed, the user can make adjustment of the pressure applied by the thumb, the index finger, and any other finger to readily extract a single droplet.
