Abstract

1. Means for dishabituation from eating, drinking, smoking and/or addictive habits, consisting of a capsule (1) constructed as a hollow body containing active material and a holder (2) therefor, characterised in that the capsule (1) of active material has a valve which opens as a result of a suction effect on the holder (2).

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Vorrichtung zur Entwöhnung von Eß-, Trink-, Rauch- und/oder Suchtgewohnheiten, bestehend aus einer als Hohlkörper ausgebildeten, Wirkstoffe enthaltenden Wirkstoffkapsel und einem diese aufnehmenden Träger.The invention relates to a device for weaning eating, drinking, smoking and / or addiction habits, consisting of an active ingredient capsule formed as a hollow body and containing active ingredients and a carrier receiving them.

Zum Zwecke der Entwöhnung von derartigen Gewohnheiten wie übermäßigem und falschem Konsum von Tabak, Alkohol, Kaffee, Tee, Süßwaren und dergleichen sind bereits diverse Methoden und Verfahren vorgeschlagen worden. Die simpelste Methode ist hierbei sicherlich, die jeweilige Gewohnheit einfach zu unterlassen. Dies scheitert aber zumeist an fehlendem Willen sowie in schweren Fällen an den auftretenden Entzugserscheinungen des Körpers. Bedingt durch die starke Gewöhnung taucht hier die Frage nach einem Ersatz auf, wodurch eine Ablenkung von bzw. eine Befriedigung der Gewöhnung ohne jede gesundheitliche Schädigung erreicht wird.Various methods and procedures have been proposed for weaning habits such as excessive and improper use of tobacco, alcohol, coffee, tea, confectionery, and the like. The simplest method is surely to simply refrain from the habit. However, this mostly fails due to a lack of will and, in severe cases, the withdrawal symptoms of the body that occur. Due to the high level of habituation, the question of a replacement arises here, whereby distraction from or satisfaction of habituation is achieved without any damage to health.

Eine gattungsgemäße Vorrichtung mit einer als Hohlkörper ausgebildeten, Wirkstoffe enthaltenden Wirkstoffkapsel und einem diese aufnehmenden Träger ist aus der US-A-3 347 231 bekannt. Dabei ist die Wirkstoffkapsel über eine Sollbruchstelle aufbrechbar und so zur Abgabe der Wirkstoffe zu öffnen. Nachteilig ist hierbei, daß eine einmal geöffnete Wirkstoffkapsel nicht wieder verschließbar ist, so daß die Wirkstoffe je nach Flüchtigkeit mehr oder weniger schnell auch dann entweichen, wenn die Vorrichtung nicht mehr benutzt wird.A generic device with an active ingredient capsule designed as a hollow body and containing active ingredients and a carrier receiving them is known from US Pat. No. 3,347,231. The active ingredient capsule can be broken open via a predetermined breaking point and thus opened to release the active ingredients. The disadvantage here is that once an active ingredient capsule cannot be closed again, so that the active ingredients escape more or less quickly, depending on the volatility, even when the device is no longer used.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, die gattungsgemäße Vorrichtung so zu verbessern, daß die Wirkstoffe nur bei Bedarf aus der Wirkstoffkapsel entweichen können.The invention has for its object to improve the generic device so that the active ingredients can only escape from the active ingredient capsule when needed.

Erfindungsgemäß wird dies dadurch erreicht, daß die Wirkstoffkapsel ein sich durch Saugwirkung an dem Träger öffnendes Ventil aufweist. Dieses erfindungsgemäß durch Saugwirkung am Träger öffnende Ventil wird vorteilhafterweise bei nachlassender Saugwirkung auch selbsttätig wieder verschlossen, so daß die Wirkstoffabgabe abhängig von der Saugwirkung ist und folglich die Wirkstoffe tatsächlich nur dann abgegeben werden, wenn dies auch gewünscht ist.According to the invention, this is achieved in that the active ingredient capsule has a valve which opens on the carrier by suction. This valve, which opens according to the invention by suction on the carrier, is advantageously also automatically closed again when the suction decreases, so that the release of active substance is dependent on the suction effect and consequently the active substances are actually only released if this is also desired.

Die DE-U-1 967 605 beschreibt einen Saughalm, der in einer Ausführung aus zwei einen Träger bildenden Filterteilen und einem zwischen diesen angeordneten, als Hohlzylinder ausgebildeten Zwischenteil besteht. Das Zwischenteil enthält feste, beispielsweise kristallförmige Aromastoffe, die beim Durchströmen von Luft an diese einen Teil ihres Aromas abgeben. Hierzu besitzt der Hohlzylinder beidseitig Bodenteile, in denen jeweils eine oder mehrere axial verlaufende Durchströmöffnungen vorgesehen sind. Aufgrund dieser Durchströmöffnungen können die Aromastoffe aber auch im unbenutzten Zustand der aus dieser Druckschrift bekannten Vorrichtung entweichen. In einer zweiten Ausführung sind zwischen drei einen Träger bildenden Filterteilen zwei Zwischenteile angeordnet. Diese Zwischenteile bestehen jedoch aus einem Material, welches in der Lage ist, Aromastoffe in flüssiger Form, beispielsweise in Form von ätherischen Ölen, über eine bestimmte Zeit zu halten und diese beim Durchströmen von Gasen oder Dämpfen teilweise an diese abzugeben. Beispielsweise besteht jedes der Zwischenteile aus einem watteartigen Material, welches mit dem Aromastoff getränkt ist. Jedoch kann auch hier der Aromastoff in unbenutztem Zustand der Vorrichtung ungehindert entweichen, was die Haltbarkeitsdauer dieser bekannten Vorrichtung verkürzt.DE-U-1 967 605 describes a suction straw which in one embodiment consists of two filter parts forming a carrier and an intermediate part arranged between them and designed as a hollow cylinder. The intermediate part contains solid, for example crystal-shaped aroma substances, which give off part of their aroma when air flows through them. For this purpose, the hollow cylinder has bottom parts on both sides, in each of which one or more axially extending throughflow openings are provided. Because of these through-flow openings, the aroma substances can escape from the device known from this document even when not in use. In a second embodiment, two intermediate parts are arranged between three filter parts forming a carrier. However, these intermediate parts consist of a material which is able to hold flavoring substances in liquid form, for example in the form of essential oils, for a certain time and to partially release them when they flow through gases or vapors. For example, each of the intermediate parts consists of a cotton-like material which is impregnated with the aroma substance. However, here too, the aroma substance can escape unhindered in the unused state of the device, which shortens the shelf life of this known device.

Die GB-A-873 410 beschreibt eine Vorrichtung, bei der eine zunächst hermetisch geschlossene Kapsel beim Einsetzen in einen Träger beidseitig automatisch geöffnet wird. Ist die Kapsel jedoch einmal angestochen, so läßt sie sich nachfolgend nicht mehr verschließen. Auf der der Saugseite zugekehrten Seite der Wirkstoffkapsel ist innerhalb des Trägers zwar ein Einwegeventil angeordnet, welches in Saugrichtung sowie durch die Saugwirkung öffnet, jedoch bleibt die gegenüberliegende Seite der Kapsel nach dem Anstechen stets geöffnet, so daß auch hier die in der Kapsel enthaltenen Wirkstoffe ungewollt entweichen können. Zudem ist eine Übertragung des Einwegeventils des Trägers dieser bekannten Vorrichtung auf die Wirkstoffkapsel der erfindungsgemäßen Vorrichtung aufgrund der sehr viel kleineren Raumform der Wirkstoffkapsel nicht ohne weiteres möglich und daher auch nicht naheliegend.GB-A-873 410 describes a device in which an initially hermetically sealed capsule is automatically opened on both sides when inserted into a carrier. However, once the capsule has been pierced, it can no longer be closed. On the side of the active ingredient capsule facing the suction side, a one-way valve is arranged inside the carrier, which opens in the suction direction and by the suction effect, but the opposite side of the capsule always remains open after the piercing, so that the active ingredients contained in the capsule are also undesired here can escape. In addition, transfer of the one-way valve of the carrier of this known device to the active ingredient capsule of the device according to the invention is not readily possible due to the much smaller spatial shape of the active ingredient capsule and is therefore not obvious.

Aus der FR-A-1 492 580 ist eine Inhalationsvorrichtung bekannt, die aus einem röhrchenförmigen Träger besteht, in dem beispielsweise ein mit Flüssigkeit getränktes Filterpapier angeordnet ist. Auch hier ist innerhalb des Trägers auf der einem Mundstück zugekehrten Seite ein durch Saugwirkung öffnendes Ventil angeordnet, jedoch wird auch hierdurch nicht ausgeschlossen, daß Wirkstoffe ungewollt entweichen können, denn die Einströmseite ist durch einen Deckel oder einen Stopfen verschlossen, so daß bei einem Verlust dieses Deckels bzw. Stopfens auf dieser Seite die Wirkstoffe auch bei geschlossenem Ventil ohne weiteres entweichen können.From FR-A-1 492 580 an inhalation device is known which consists of a tubular support in which, for example, a filter paper soaked in liquid is arranged. Again, a valve opening by suction is arranged inside the carrier on the side facing a mouthpiece, but this does not rule out the possibility that active substances can escape unintentionally, because the inflow side is closed by a cover or a stopper, so that if it is lost Cover or plug on this side, the active ingredients can easily escape even when the valve is closed.

Durch die erfindungsgemäße Vorrichtung wird der jeweiligen Gewohnheit, insbesondere der Rauchgewohnheit, Genüge getan, da erfindungsgemäß der Träger die Form von Zigaretten, Zigarillos, Zigarren, Zigarettenspitzen oder Pfeifen aufweist und da, wie beim Rauchen, an dem Träger gesaugt wird. Dabei enthält die Wirkstoffkapsel vorteilhafterweise insbesondere Aromastoffe, Geschmacksstoffe und/oder Geruchsstoffe mit beliebigen Zusätzen wir Nikotin, Koffein, Alkohol, Alkaloide, Vitamine, Extrakte aus Blüten, Blättern, Früchten, Wurzeln oder dergleichen und/ oder Stoffe mit Geruch und/oder Geschmack von Süßwaren, Gewürzen, Kräutern oder dergleichen und/oder Stoffe zur Rauchentwicklung. So kann beispielsweise bei der Raucherentwöhnung zunächst in der Wirkstoffkapsel auch Nikotin mit oder ohne Zusatzstoffe zur Rauchentwicklung enthalten sein, wobei dann in der Folgezeit schrittweise Wirkstoffkapseln mit geringer werdendem Nikotingehalt verwendet werden, um so den Körper langsam zu entwöhnen. Eine derartige Entwöhnung ist auch in bezug auf Alkohol, Drogen und dergleichen möglich.The device according to the invention satisfies the respective habit, in particular the smoking habit, since, according to the invention, the carrier is in the form of cigarettes, cigarillos, cigars, cigarette tips or pipes and, as in smoking, is sucked on the carrier. The active ingredient capsule advantageously contains, in particular, flavorings, flavors and / or fragrances with any additives, such as nicotine, caffeine, alcohol, alkaloids, vitamins, extracts from flowers, leaves, fruits, roots or the like and / or substances with a smell and / or taste of confectionery , Spices, herbs or the like and / or substances for producing smoke. For example, when smoking cessation is started, nicotine with or without additives for smoke development may also initially be contained in the active ingredient capsule, and then in the subsequent period Gradual drug capsules with a decreasing nicotine content are used to slowly wean the body. Such weaning is also possible with respect to alcohol, drugs and the like.

Weiterhin ist aber auch vorgesehen, die erfindungsgemäße Vorrichtung nicht nur während einer Übergangszeit, sondern langfristig als Ersatz für Genußmittel zu gebrauchen. Insbesondere im Hinblick auf Süßwaren wie Schokolade, Kuchen, Pudding und dergleichen ergibt sich dadurch der Vorteil, daß der Gebrauch der erfindungsgemäßen Vorrichtung im Gegensatz zu den Süßwaren nicht dick macht.Furthermore, it is also envisaged to use the device according to the invention not only during a transitional period, but in the long term as a substitute for luxury goods. In particular with regard to confectionery such as chocolate, cake, pudding and the like, this results in the advantage that the use of the device according to the invention, in contrast to the confectionery, does not make you fat.

Die Anwendungsmöglichkeit der erfindungsgemäßen Vorrichtung reicht darüber hinaus so weit, daß auch Arzneimittel und dergleichen in der Wirkstoffkapsel enthalten sein können.The application of the device according to the invention also extends so far that drugs and the like can also be contained in the active ingredient capsule.

Weitere vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungsmerkmale der Erfindung sind in den Unteransprüchen und der nachfolgenden Beschreibung enthalten.Further advantageous design features of the invention are contained in the subclaims and the description below.

Gemäß Fig. 1 besteht eine erfindungsgemäße Vorrichtung zur Entwöhnung von Eß-, Trink-, Rauch- und/oder Suchtgewohnheiten aus einer Wirkstoffkapsel 1 und einem diese aufnehmenden Träger 2, wobei der Träger 2 vorteilhafterweise aus einem derartigen Material besteht, das in axialer Richtung des Trägers 2 luftdurchlässig ist. Hierzu kann insbesondere Zigaretten-Filtermaterial verwendet werden, das von einer geeigneten Umhüllung 3 umgeben ist. Der Träger 2 weist erfindungsgemäß die Form von Zigaretten 2a, Filterzigaretten 2b, Zigarillos 2c, Zigarren 2d, Zigarettenspitzen 4 oder Pfeifen 5 auf (Fig. 2). Weiterhin kann erfindungsgemäß die Wirkstoffkapsel 1 aber auch in echten Zigaretten, Zigarillos oder Zigarren eingesetzt werden, d.h. der Träger 2 besteht aus Tabak, der von einer geeigneten Umhüllung 3, insbesondere Papier, umgeben ist. In jedem Fall gibt die Wirkstoffkapsel 1 erfindungsgemäß die in ihr beinhalteten Wirkstoffe durch Saugen an dem jeweiligen Träger 2, 4, 5 frei. Die eingezeichneten Pfeile kennzeichnen die Saugrichtung. Hierzu ist die Wirkstoffkapsel 1 als Hohlkörper aus Glas, Kunststoff oder dergleichen ausgebildet, wobei dieser Kapsel-Hohlkörper erfindungsgemäß ein Ventil aufweist, das durch die Saugwirkung an dem jeweiligen Träger geöffnet und bei nachlassender Saugwirkung wieder geschlossen wird. Somit ist die Wirkstoffabgabe abhängig von der Intensität der Saugwirkung. Dabei enthält die Wirkstoffkapsel 1 vorteilhafterweise entweder gasförmige Wirkstoffe oder alternativ dazu flüssige, leicht flüchtige Wirkstoffe mit niedrigem Siedepunkt, so daß in jedem Fall die Wirkstoffe gasförmig wieder abgegeben werden.1, a device according to the invention for weaning eating, drinking, smoking and / or addiction habits consists of an active ingredient capsule 1 and a carrier 2 receiving it, the carrier 2 advantageously consisting of a material of this type, which in the axial direction of the Carrier 2 is permeable to air.
