WEARBALE INTRANASAL CLIP APPARATUS AND METHOD OF USE

Abstract

A wearable intranasal device that dispenses concentrated oils, specifically Aromatherapy and Cannabidiol or CBD, allowing each to evaporate naturally through the nasal cavity providing temporary relief of a variety of symptoms these products have been positively found to impact. The device is a single unit consisting of two barrels on both ends joined by a bridging center arch and which will hug the septum of the user ergonomically not causing any irritation to the user. Each barrel receives a cotton wick which will hold the concentrated oil(s).

Claims

1. A wearable intranasal oil delivery system comprising: a pair of barrel chambers joined by a bridging arch, each of said barrel chambers configured to be inserted into a cavity; each of said barrel chambers comprising a top portion and a bottom portion, wherein said top portion of each respective barrel chamber may be removed from said bottom portion; each of said barrel chambers comprising an internal cavity configured for storing a wick; and each of said barrel chambers comprising a plurality of ventilation holes for delivering aroma from said wick into said cavity.

2. The system of claim 1, wherein said wick contains oils.

3. The system of claim 2, wherein said oils comprise aromatherapy oils.

4. The system of claim 2, wherein said oils comprise Cannabidiol oils.

5. The system of claim 1, further comprising: said bottom portion of said barrel chamber comprising a receiver ring; said top portion of said barrel chamber comprising a locking ring; and wherein said receiver ring and said locking ring are configured to releasably join said top portion and said bottom portion.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

I. Introduction and Environment

[0016] As required, detailed aspects of the present invention are disclosed herein, however, it is to be understood that the disclosed aspects are merely exemplary of the invention, which may be embodied in various forms. Therefore, specific structural and functional details disclosed herein are not to be interpreted as limiting, but merely as a basis for the claims and as a representative basis for teaching one skilled in the art how to variously employ the present invention in virtually any appropriately detailed structure.

[0017] Certain terminology will be used in the following description for convenience in reference only and will not be limiting. For example, up, down, front, back, right and left refer to the invention as orientated in the view being referred to. The words, inwardly and outwardly refer to directions toward and away from, respectively, the geometric center of the aspect being described and designated parts thereof. Forwardly and rearwardly are generally in reference to the direction of travel, if appropriate. Said terminology will include the words specifically mentioned, derivatives thereof and words of similar meaning.

II. Preferred Embodiment Intranasal Device System 2

[0018] FIG. 1 shows an intranasal device system 2 where a wearable intranasal device 4 is deployed within the nostrils 6 of a user. This allows for the delivery of evaporating oils, such as aromatherapy and/or cannabinol (CBD) oils, into the nasal cavities of the user.

[0019] As shown in FIG. 2, the intranasal device 4 generally includes a bottom portion 10 and a pair of top barrel portions 8. The bottom portion 10 includes two bottom barrel portions 12 joined by a bridging arch 14. The top barrel portions 8 include ventilation holes 20 for providing ventilation into the wick 24 stored between the top 8 and bottom 12 barrel portions as shown in FIG. 5. The bottom barrel portions 12 similarly have corresponding ventilation holes 22.

[0020] As shown in FIG. 3, the bottom barrel portions 12 include an internal cavity 16 for receiving the wick 24 which contains the oils for delivery to the user. A connector ring 18 allows for the locking onto the bottom barrel portion 12 of the top barrel portion 8 which, as shown in FIG. 4, includes a corresponding connector lip 26. The top barrel portion 8 also includes a corresponding internal cavity 28 for receiving the wick.

[0021] The intranasal device 4 is preferably molded of bisphenol A-free (BPA-free) plastic or similar resin, a non-irritating plastic that is flexible and non-corrosive with the use of concentrated oils. When worn, very little of the intranasal clip will show. As indicated in FIG. 1 only the arch 14 that joins the two barrels will be visible.

[0022] Each of the barrels can be opened to insert aroma wicks containing the oils. The barrels include openings to allow vapors from the oils to be inhaled into the nose. The dosages may vary depending on the requirements of the user.

[0023] It is to be understood that while certain embodiments and/or aspects of the invention have been shown and described, the invention is not limited thereto and encompasses various other embodiments and aspects.
