The internal delivery passage (31) (of the neck portion) has an open bottom end (33) fluidly connecting to the body chamber, an opposing open top end (32), and an integral injection molded internal membrane (34) (formed in the delivery channel during injection molding of the integral strip of vials) that seals the delivery passage (31) prior to being pierced by a needle (62) of a dispensing device (60).
APPLICATOR
An applicator (100) comprising an elongated hollow body (120) comprising a distal portion (123), a proximal portion (124) having an open end, an exterior surface (127), an interior surface (126), and a filter (135). The interior surface of the applicator defines an internal chamber suitable for receiving an ampoule (160) formed of a frangible material located in the internal chamber proximal to the filter. A spacer (185) having a distal end and a proximal end is provided, and a cap (180) having a proximal portion, a distal portion, an exterior surface, and an interior surface is provided that attaches to the open end of the applicator and maintains the ampoule and spacer in their respective desired positions. The applicator comprises a head (140) including an absorbent component (110) that is capable of absorbing the contents of the frangible ampoule and facilitates applying the contents to the desired surface.
ONE-PIECE CLOSURE FOR A CONTAINER
A one-piece closure for a container has a closure body suitable for coupling to the container, a spout portion extending from the closure body and having a spout duct, a cap portion and a breakable membrane joining the spout portion and the cap portion. The cap portion has a plug portion suitable for again closing a dispensing opening of the spout portion, which is exposed as a result of the rupture of the breakable membrane. The cap portion has coupling means suitable for being coupled to the spout portion and/or to the closure body, after the breakable membrane has been ruptured and after the cap portion has been fully separated from the spout portion.
Disposable ampoule for an aerosol generating device
Disposable ampoule for use in an aerosol generating device, comprising: a medicament container that contains a medicament and is formed of a container body and a container bottom, and a predetermined break point that at least partly surrounds the container bottom, characterised by a collar that surrounds the predetermined break point at its outside and extends the container body over and beyond the container bottom.
Container
A container, in particular in ampoule form, and consists entirely or predominantly of plastic materials and has a container body (10) for receiving a filling product (12). The filling product can be removed via a releasable container opening (22) after a closure part (18) has been removed, which closure part is detachably connected to the neck part (14) of the container body (10) along a separation line (20) in an unopened position. In the unopened position, a conically extending wall (36) on the neck part (14) on the container body (10) and a conically (38) or cylindrically extending wall (38a) on the closure part (18) adjoin the separation line (20). These walls (36, 38, 38a) delimit at least part of an annular space (40, 40a), one end of which opens out into the environment and the other end of which opens out into the separation line (20).
Container for fluid products, particularly for medical products, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, food or the like
The container (1) for fluid products, particularly for medical products, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, food or the like, comprises: a hollow body (2) for the containment of a fluid product having a neck (3); a closing element (8) having an attachment portion (9) which, in a closing configuration, is associated with the hollow body (2) along a preset breaking line (10) adapted to allow the separation of the closing element (8) from the hollow body (2) in a separation configuration wherein on the hollow body (2) is formed an opening for the outflow of the fluid product; at least a flap element (11) for supporting information, data or logos (12), joined to the attachment portion (9) and movable between an initial configuration wherein the flap element (11) is moved away from the neck (3), and a final configuration wherein the flap element (11) is fitted at least partially around the neck (3) to form a maneuver key (13) adapted to allow the removal by tearing the closing element (8) off.
PIEZOELECTRIC DISPENSER WITH REPLACEABLE AMPOULE
Fluid delivery devices and methods are described, where the device may comprise a piezoelectric actuator operatively coupled to an ampoule with fluid, under a preloading force. The ampoule may comprise a thin-walled thermoplastic package which includes one or more apertures positioned on the wall of the ampoule. The piezoelectric actuator may be configured to clamp at least partially around the circumference of the ampoule and apply oscillations to its wall. The oscillations, typically in ultrasonic frequency, produce cycles of acoustic pressure in the fluid, leading to ejection of the fluid droplets or streams from the apertures.
SINGLE-USE DISPENSER WITH MULTIPLE DELIVERY OPTIONS
A dispenser including a reservoir configured for holding a fluid and more than one nozzle fluidly connected to the reservoir, wherein one of the more than one nozzle is a nozzle configured for dispensing one or more drops of the fluid and another one of the more than one nozzle is a nozzle configured for dispensing a spray, wherein the reservoir is configured to be squeezable to force the fluid to at least one of the more than one nozzle to be dispensed.
Self-standing drug-filled synthetic resin ampule
A drug-filled synthetic resin ampule has an ampule body capable of standing by itself and a drug accommodated inside the ampule body. The ampule body has a tip part positioned at an upper part thereof when the ampule body stands by itself, a hollow part having a drug accommodation portion, and a breakable part provided between a lower portion of the tip part and an upper portion of the hollow part. The tip part has pressing portions, for guiding a pressing force applied thereto respectively in a predetermined direction when an operation of breaking the breakable part is performed. The hollow part has a bottom surface part for allowing the ampule body to stand by itself. The bottom surface part has extension portions extended in predetermined directions (X-direction, Y-direction) in which the pressing force applied to the pressing portions respectively is guided when the operation of pressing the pressing portion is performed to break the breakable part.
Container, Particularly for Medical Products, Pharmaceuticals, Cosmetics, Food or the Like
The container (1), particularly for medical products, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, food or the like, comprises: an hollow body (2) at least partly compressible defining a chamber (3) for containing a fluid product (4) and provided with a neck (5); a closure element (6) made in a single body piece with the hollow body (2) and provided with an attachment portion (7) which, in a packaging configuration, is associated with the hollow body (2) along a predefined breaking line (8) adapted to allow the separation of the closure element (6) from the hollow body (2) in a configuration of separation in which on the hollow body (2) is formed a dispensing opening (9) of the fluid product (4); a dispensing valve (13) adapted to allow the outflow of the fluid product (4) through the dispensing opening (9); and a return valve (14) adapted to allow the one-way flow of air (15) towards the chamber (3), wherein the return valve (14) comprises filtering means (16) adapted to filter the air (15) entering the chamber (3).
