PORTABLE AMPOULE WITH A SPECIALIZED TIP AND SEALER
The present disclosure relates to a portable ampoule with a specialized tip and sealer. In a general aspect, the portable ampoule for dispensing fluid may include a body configured to contain cleansing solution. A neck may be coupled to the body and configured to control the flow of the solution. A tip may be coupled to the neck and have an aperture for solution release. A sealing device may be coupled to the tip and configured to seal the aperture. The sealing device may permanently unseal the aperture upon decoupling from the tip.
1 . A dispensing device comprising:
a body configured to contain solution;
a neck coupled to the body and configured to control the flow of the solution;
a tip coupled to the neck, the tip having an aperture thereon through which the solution is released; and
a sealing device coupled to the tip and configured to seal the aperture, where the sealing device permanently unseals the aperture upon decoupling the sealing device from the tip.
2 . The dispensing device of claim 1 , wherein the sealing device is for a single use such that upon removing the sealing device from the tip, the sealing device is permanently displaced from the tip.
3 . The dispensing device of claim 1 , wherein the sealing device includes an opener having a twist coupler to facilitate twisting motion for removing the sealing device to unseal the aperture.
4 . The dispensing device of claim 3 , wherein the opener is a planar holding structure to accommodate application of moment or torque to the twist coupler.
5 . The dispensing device of claim 3 , wherein the opener includes an outer rim to provide torque support and an inner rim to secure the twist coupler to the outer rim.
6 . The dispensing device of claim 3 , wherein the sealing device includes a sealer and the twist coupler is coupled to the tip 103 through the sealer.
7 . The dispensing device of claim 3 , wherein the body includes a rib structure to facilitate holding or gripping of the body to avoid a slipping motion generated when the body is rotated in an opposite direction with respect to the sealing device.
8 . The dispensing device of claim 7 , wherein the rib structure is flush or contiguous with edges of the opener.
9 . The dispensing device of claim 7 , wherein the rib structure extends from a bottom portion of the tip to a bottom portion of the body.
10 . The dispensing device of claim 9 , wherein a bottom surface of the opener aligns with the bottom portion of the tip.
11 . The dispensing device of claim 3 , wherein the twist coupler includes inner sidewalls that conform with but do not contact sidewalls of the tip.
12 . The dispensing device of claim 1 , wherein the tip is further configured to attenuate a pressure of solution stored in the body and facilitate dispensing of the solution with sufficient pressure to deliver the solution to tissue without displacing the tissue.
13 . The dispensing device of claim 1 , wherein the neck has a diameter smaller than a diameter of the body to facilitate a dispensing speed of the solution.
14 . The dispensing device of claim 1 , wherein the tip is conically shaped with a convex curved surface tapered from a surface on which the aperture is formed to a bottom portion of the tip.
15 . The dispensing device of claim 14 , wherein the bottom portion includes a diameter with sufficient dimension to prevent the tip from extending into a user's nostril.
16 . The dispensing device of claim 14 , wherein the bottom portion of the tip includes rounded or chamfered edges.
17 . The dispensing device of claim 1 , wherein the tip includes a tapered surface that conforms to nostrils of different sizes.
18 . The dispensing device of claim 1 , further comprising a removable cap having a conical needle head structure for securely re-sealing the aperture to allow for reuse.
19 . The dispensing device of claim 1 , wherein the removable cap includes a pulling structure to facilitate the removal of the removable cap and a sealing structure to facilitate sealing of the aperture.
