Definitions

  • the present invention relates generally to a small container. More specifically, the present invention relates to a small container with multiple individually sealed chambers containing a unit-dose of substance with a separate applicator for retrieving and applying the substance.
  • Small containers are used to distribute small quantities of products such as creams, lotions, and make-ups.
  • the amount of the product in the small container is generally for more than a single application.
  • the container's contents are exposed to the environment and subject to contamination.
  • the subsequent reuse of the opened container subjects the products to further cross- contamination and oxidation.
  • certain substances must be completely sealed from contact with moisture and/or air until just prior to application. This will require that the contents of the container be single dose and not reused at a later time.
  • Conventional containers are too large for single dose usage and once opened, subject the product to oxidation and contamination.
  • the present invention is a small multi-dose container that has multiple individual sealed chambers. Each chamber contains a substance to be extracted and applied with an applicator.
  • the container has multiple elongated individual chambers enclosing a substance and sealed with aluminum foil or similar covering.
  • An applicator with an elongated hollow handle with approximately the same outside dimension as the inside dimension of the individual chambers is used to extract and apply the substance in the individual chambers.
  • At one end of the applicator is an applicator tip generally in the form of a small spatula or spoon.
  • the small multi-dose container may be further enclosed within another decorative or protective outer container.
  • the small multi-dose container may be replaced after it is depleted while still retaining the outer container.
  • Figure 1 shows a perspective view of the preferred embodiment of the multi-dose container in a decorative outer container.
  • Figure 2 shows the top view of the preferred embodiment of the multi-dose container.
  • Figure 3 shows a side view of the preferred embodiment of the multi-dose container.
  • Figure 4 shows a side view of the preferred embodiment of the applicator.
  • Figure 5 shows a side view of another embodiment of the multi-dose container with one container on top of another container.
  • the present invention is a small multi-dose container 1 that has multiple, individual sealed chambers 2.
  • the multiple sealed chambers 2 form a generally hexagonal shape.
  • Each chamber 2 contains a substance 3 to be extracted and applied with an applicator 4.
  • the container 1 has multiple elongated individual chambers 2 enclosing a substance 3 and sealed with aluminum foil, plastic film, or similar covering 5.
  • Each individual chamber 2 is further provided with a chamfer entrance 6 into the chamber 2 to provide a recess for the fractured seal 5 when it is fractured and folded into the chamber 2 by the inserted applicator 4.
  • the elongated chambers 2 are preferably cylindrical in shape.
  • the covering 5 is provided with preformed or pre-cut lines wherein when pressure is applied to the covering 5 the covering 5 will fracture and break open at the preformed or pre-cut lines.
  • a guide plate 7 with corresponding openings 8 to the sealed chambers 2 in the multi-dose container 1 is optionally positioned on top of the multi-dose container 1.
  • Each of the openings 8 on the guide plate 7 is provided with a chamfer 9 to guide the applicator 4 and allow easy visual and tactile confirmation of the accurate insertion of the applicator 4 into each individual chamber 2.
  • An applicator 4, as shown in figure 4, with an elongated hollow handle 10 with approximately the same outside dimension as the inside dimension of the individual chambers 2 is used to extract and apply the substance 3 in the individual chambers 2.
  • an applicator tip 11 At one end of the applicator 4 is an applicator tip 11 generally in the form of a small spatula or spoon. Other applicator tips such as a foam tip or a cotton tip may also be used.
  • Figure 5 shows another embodiment of the multi-dose container, hi this embodiment, a first container 1 has multiple individual sealed chambers 2 that are sealed on both the top and bottom of the chambers 2 with a fracturable covering. Each chamber 2 contains a substance 3 to be extracted and applied with an applicator 4. A second container 12 with corresponding multiple individual chambers are positioned immediately under the first container 1. Each chamber in the second container 12 may be empty or may contain a second substance. The individual chambers in the second container 12 may also be sealed with a fracturable covering.
  • the enclosed substance 3 when the applicator 4 is inserted through a chamber 2 in the first container 1, the enclosed substance 3 will be forced through the hollow handle 10 of the applicator 4 into the applicator tip 11 for application.
  • the air or the second substance in the chamber will be forced into the hollow handle 10 of the applicator 4. If the chamber in the second container 12 is empty, the air in the chamber will force most of the substance 3 from the first container 1 out of the hollow handle 10 into the applicator tip 11 thereby more fully extract the substance 3.
  • the chamber in the second container 12 contains a second substance, the second substance may be extracted along with the first substance 3 to be applied either in sequence or in combination, depending on the depth of insertion of the applicator 4.
  • the small multi-dose container 1 may be further enclosed within another decorative or protective outer container 13, as shown in figure 1. With the optional decorative or protective outer container 13, the small multi-dose container 1 may be replaced after the individual chambers 2 are depleted while still retaining the outer container 13 for reuse.

Abstract

L'invention concerne un contenant (1) à doses multiples qui comporte de multiples chambres individuelles (2) hermétiques. Chaque chambre (2) contient une matière (3) devant être extraite et appliquée à l'aide d'un applicateur (4). Un applicateur (4) comportant un manche (10) creux allongé et qui présente approximativement la même dimension extérieure que la dimension intérieure des chambres individuelles (2), est utilisé pour extraire et appliquer la matière (3) contenue dans lesdites chambres (2). Une pointe d'applicateur (11) prévue à une extrémité de l'applicateur (4) présente généralement la forme d'une petite spatule ou d'une cuillère. Lorsque l'applicateur (4) est inséré dans une des chambres hermétiques (2), la matière (3) contenue dans ladite chambre (2) est extraite par force à travers le manche (10) creux de l'applicateur (4) dans la pointe de l'applicateur (11) en vue d'être appliquée sur une surface voulue.
