CZ305392B6 - Application aid for oral consummation of particularly medicaments - Google Patents

Abstract

In the present invention, there is disclosed an application aid for oral one-time consummation comprising a tube (1) with at least two partitions (2.1) that define a space (3) for a dose of a product intended for consummation. The partitions consist of thin-walled membranes, optionally filtering screens, or the filtering screen can be situated above the upper membrane (2.1).

Description

The invention relates to an application aid for single oral consumption of medicaments, vitamins and food supplements useful in the healthcare, pharmaceutical and food industries.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

The consumption of drugs, vitamins, supplements and food concentrates is currently determined by the form in which the dose is to be consumed. Said preparations are generally in the form of a pill, capsule, effervescent tablet or liquid concentrate. There is also an attempt to convert some drugs administered intravenously to oral administration. Swallowing of such products is often difficult, especially for children or lying patients.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

An improvement of the state of the art is an application aid for oral consumption, in particular of medicaments, according to the invention, characterized in that the application aid consists of a tube in which at least two partitions are placed, defining a space for the dose of said products.

The partitions consist of thin-walled partitions.

In a preferred embodiment, in order to retain any undissolved portion of the product, a filter grid is positioned above the upper partition.

For special applications, especially for gelatine products, the baffles may be formed by a filter grid.

The delivery device of the invention facilitates the use of medicaments by children and lying patients.

Clarification of drawings

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS The invention is illustrated in greater detail in the drawing, in which: FIG. 1 is a schematic illustration of a tube with a dose to be applied; and FIG. 2 is a tube of FIG.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

The oral consumption aid according to the invention shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 is formed by a cylindrical tube 1, in which two partitions 2.1, 2.2 are formed consisting of thin partitions which are tightly connected on their periphery to the inner surface of the tube 7. Between these obstacles 2.1, 2.2, a space 3 is provided for receiving a dose of a liquid product, e.g. The upper obstacle 2.1 is located approximately 1/3 of the total length of the tube i from its suction end 1.1. The strength of the obstacle 2.1 is chosen such that it is not broken when handling the application aid, eg during transport, storage, etc., but is easily ruptured by the overpressure generated by the user's suction under the lower obstacle 2.2.

-1 CZ 305392 B6

The user immerses the lower end 1.2 of the tube I in the beverage and begins to suck the upper end 1.1. The resulting negative pressure disrupts both obstacles 2.1, 2.2 and the product is conveyed from the space 3 together with the beverage to be sucked through the tube towards the mouth and thus into the digestive tract.

Industrial applicability

The application device according to the invention is intended for single oral consumption of medicaments, vitamins of food supplements, especially for children and lying patients. It can be used in health care, pharmaceutical and food industry.
