Drug dispensing device
View Patent ↗The present application describes a drug dispensing device. The device is comprised of an armband, a rigid housing, made of polymeric or composite material, with any geometric shape, which separates in two along the longitudinal axis, incorporating therein a capsule containing a concentrated fluid whose geometric shape allows its storage within said housing. The centre of the top of one of the capsule faces contains a valve which, upon being actuated by at least one flexible tab, by pressing the mouth of the user, is expelled from the inside of the capsule, allowing him to suck the concentrated fluid contained therein. In this way, the device allows the user to correct the reference values quickly and effectively and thus regain the sense of physical safety while practicing sports in extreme situations or while practicing activities in water environments.
1. A drug dispensing device that is waterproof and hands-free comprising:
a rigid housing composed of a lower part and an upper part, both parts connected to each other along a longitudinal axis of said rigid housing, forming an inner space delimited by inner faces of said lower and upper parts;
the upper part of the rigid housing comprising at least one flexible tab on a top of the upper part, the flexible tab designed for actuation via a user's mouth;
a capsule placed inside the rigid housing comprising a valve that is flexible, expellable and retractable; said valve positioned in the centre of the top of the capsule's face which is in contact with the upper part of the rigid housing;
wherein
the device is configured to expel the valve from the inside of the capsule, becoming external to the boundary of the upper part of the housing, when pressure is applied to the at least one flexible tab which causes it to apply pressure to the capsule.
2. The drug dispensing device according to claim 1 , wherein the rigid housing is composed of polymeric or composite material.
3. The drug dispensing device according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one flexible tab comprises a plurality of flexible tabs that are symmetrical to each other.
4. The drug dispensing device according to claim 1 , wherein the capsule is composed of polymeric material suitable for food or medical use, flexible, resistant, and impermeable to water and gases.
5. A drug dispensing device according to claim 1 , wherein the lower part of the housing and the upper part of the housing comprises a recess which coincides when joining the two parts comprising the housing.
6. The drug dispensing device according to claim 1 , comprising a thread screw system in the connection between the lower part of the housing and the upper part of the housing.
7. The drug dispensing device according to claim 1 , wherein the lower part of the housing and the upper part of the housing are symmetrical in capacity.
8. The drug dispensing device according to claim 1 , wherein the lower part of the housing comprises two symmetrical bores through which an elastic band passes and slides.
9. The drug dispensing device according to claim 1 , comprising an armband consisting of an elastic band and a hook and loop fastener band, the first half consisting of the hook side and the second half consisting of the loop side, both resting on a strip.
10. The drug dispensing device according to claim 9 , wherein the strap is neoprene.
11. The drug dispensing device according to claim 10 , wherein the end of the strip contains a locking part.
12. The drug dispensing device according to claim 1 , wherein the capsule is replaceable.
