Problems solved by technology

Using standard containers, it has been found that either too much or too little dose is dispensed making metering difficult
Also, the container can become soiled with residual material, requiring cleaning to ensure the nozzle remains hygienic and aesthetically pleasing

Embodiment Construction

[0026] In describing the preferred embodiments of the invention illustrated in the drawings, specific terminology is used for the sake of clarity. However, the invention is not to be limited by the particular terms so chosen. It should be understood that each specific element includes all technical equivalents that operate in a similar manner to accomplish a similar purpose. Each reference cited herein is incorporated by reference as if each were individually incorporated by reference.

[0027] Different resin types, such as polyethylene (PE) and low density polyethylene, and different shaped bottles have been used to deliver a variety of different spill-resistant medicament compositions. The squeezability of the 4 oz (113.4 g) custom bottle made of polyethylene terephthalate (PETG) material was satisfactory and controlled delivery of the spill-resistant formulation. PETG has a number average molecular weight of about 26,000. Other materials can be used.

Abstract

An article of manufacture comprises a) a squeezable bottle having an outlet, b) a plug in the bottle, the plug comprising an upper surface with a protruding nipple having a neck, and a top and an orifice communicating with a smooth tubular channel sized to permit a semi-solid formulation to be squeezed out of the bottle and through the channel and orifice without dislodging the cap, the neck of the nipple having a protruding height slightly greater than the thickness of a spoon, and the neck of the nipple and the flat upper surface forming a notch which engages with the edge of a spoon, the orifice forming a sharp intersection with the top of the nipple sufficient to cut flow of the formulation cleanly when pressure ceases, and the junction of the top of the nipple with the nipple neck having a bevel, and c) a child resistant cap to cover the orifice when the formulation is not in use, the cap sealing the orifice without abrading the nipple.

Description

[0001] This application claims the benefit of provisional application USSN 60 / 330,464, filed October 22, 2001, which is hereby incorporated by reference. technical field [0002] The present invention relates to a container with a spout suitable for accurate and problem-free delivery of spill-resistant medicinal ingredients onto a spoon. Background technique [0003] Devices for dispensing metered components have been disclosed, for example, in US Patent No. 3,104,032 to Hansen and US Patent No. 3,383,018 to Grimsley, which are complex and do not fully meet the requirements for ease of dispensing and dosing of dosed medicaments. [0004] Spill-resistant and non-spill pharmaceutical compositions are disclosed in US Patent 6,102,254 to Ross and US Patent 6,071,523 to Mehta et al., both of which are incorporated herein by reference. An advantage of this disclosed composition requires ease of dosing from a squeezable container onto a spoon. Using standard containers, it has bee...
