Liquid chamber cap with compartment for use with injectables
A storage and dispensing cap for a liquid receptacle having a cap body storage chamber for use with a receptacle such as a bottle, pouch or intravenous bag that is used to store a liquid for use with a syringe that is inserted into the receptacle for drawing the liquid contents into the syringe. A liquid, powder or capsule in the cap body chamber is mixed into the liquid receptacle for use with the syringe. A sleeve penetrator is mounted inside said cap body chamber and is sized in length to permit rupture of the bottom floor of said cap body chamber when manually depressed for dispensing whatever material is placed inside said cap body chamber and sleeve penetrator into said syringe bottle. An open passage from the cap body to the inside of the receptacle is provided once the storage chamber is ruptured by manually depressing the penetrator to allow the syringe needle end to be inserted into the liquid receptacle.
1. A storage and dispensing cap for a liquid receptacle including a bottle, pouch and IV bag that houses a liquid to be utilized and drawn into a syringe;
a cap body including a storage chamber having an open top and a sealed base for holding a liquid, powder or capsule to be dispensed;
a sleeve penetrator connected moveably to said cap body and having a closed top, a hollow interior body and having an outside diameter that is sized to fit snuggly coaxially within and against the inside diameter of said cap body storage chamber open top to permit reciprocal motion between said sleeve penetrator and said cap body storage chamber;
whereby a liquid, powder or capsule can be placed inside said cap body storage chamber and sleeve penetrator hollow body, said sleeve penetrator being depressed to rupture said sealed base of said cap body storage chamber allowing the contents in said cap body storage chamber to be distributed into a liquid receptacle; said sleeve penetrator cover constructed of a material and thickness suitable for penetration by a syringe needle; and
a dust cover cap connectable to said cap body over the top of said sleeve penetrator, said sleeve penetrator including rectangular recesses, said dust cover cap including a removable portion that includes a pair of rectangular protrusions for engagement with said rectangular recesses in said sleeve penetrator for plunging the sleeve penetrator downwardly with the removed dust cover cap.
2. A cap as in claim 1 , wherein: said cap body chamber sealed base includes a line of weakening that when said sealed base is engaged by said sleeve penetrator said sealed base will easily rupture from said cap body chamber.
3. A receptacle cap as in claim 1 , wherein: said sleeve penetrator has a lower base portion that is angled relative to the longitudinal central axis of said sleeve penetrator for rupturing one side of said cap body chamber sealed base.
4. A receptacle cap as in claim 1 , wherein: said sleeve penetrator is sized in length and can be depressed below the opening of said bottle cap for rupturing the sealed base of said bottle cap chamber when depressed for dispensing the contents within the cap body chamber to be dispensed into the receptacle.
5. A cap as in claim 1 , wherein: said cap including said cap body chamber and sleeve penetrator can be physically mounted anywhere on a liquid receptacle including bottles, pouches and intravenous bags for use with a syringe for drawing out the mixed ingredients.
