Definitions
- the invention generally pertains to pipettes, and more specifically, to a pipette made of a rigid or resilient material that is pre-filled with a pharmaceutical or cosmetic product and is used once and then discarded.
- a typical pipette consists of a slender pipe or tube that is used to transfer or measure small quantities of a liquid or a gas from one location to another.
- the most common type of pipette consists of a small glass tube that widens into a bulb at the middle. Liquid may be sucked into the bulb and retained therein by closing the top end of the pipette with a stopper, thumb or the like. Since it is necessary to fill the pipette with the liquid, it would be beneficial to both medical practitioners and laboratory technicians to provide a disposable, one use pipette that is pre-filled with the required liquid. The pre-filled pipette would make the dispensing of the liquid much easier and faster, in that the step of filling the pipette is no longer needed, and the dispensing could be accomplished in a variety of ways that are already known in the art.
- Phillips in U.S. patent 5,928,662 teaches a drug delivery device that has a reservoir holding medicine for delivery to a patient.
- the device has a conduit with one end coupled to the reservoir and a free end to position within the fornix of a patient's eye. Through gravity and capillary action the medicine flows into the eye, with the rate of delivery adjusted according to the size and material of the conduit.
- the reservoir is made of an absorbent material provided with an impermeable backing which acts as a barrier, and in the preferred embodiment the backing has an adhesive for attaching to the eye of the patient.
- Patent No. 5,799,837 issued to Firestone, et al. is for a packaged pharmaceutical product having an extended shelf life and includes a container consisting of a hollow body with an open end.
- the body wall thickness enables drop-by drop dispensing of the medicine by manually squeezing the container body.
- a tip is fixed to the body to form droplets for application.
- Lifshey in U.S. patent 5,624,057 discloses an ophthalmic storage and dispensing device formed by injection molding, consisting of a vial with thick rigid walls and a limited flexible area. The flexible area allows only a small displacement when squeezed, thus providing a metered volume of liquid. A tip having a integral molded puncture membrane provides sealing.
- Firestone, et al.in U.S. patent 5,609,273 teaches a barrier package that includes a container with a hollow body and an open end. The container has a body thickness that enables drop-by drop dispensing by manually squeezing the body. A dropper tip is fixed to the open end and forms droplets upon manual squeezing of the body.
- Patent No. 5,578,020 issued to Mosley is for an eye drop dispenser and dispensing sleeve.
- the dropper has a liquid reservoir portion and a dispensing end with a dropper orifice.
- Part of the reservoir is resilient, and a dispensing sleeve circumscribes the dropper tube with a pair of legs that extend beyond the end of the tube. The legs are adapted to fit against the orbital areas of an eye to support the dropper over the eye for application of the liquid.
- the primary object of the invention is to provide a pre-filled pipette that is made of a thermoplastic material of a thickness permitting a bulb section to be squeezed to dispense the pre-filled liquid, or is made of a rigid plastic material to dispense the pre-filled liquid by breaking an upper tube end, either tearing or cutting, to release the liquid from within the pipette through the force of gravity once air is introduced above the product.
- An important object of the invention is that the fabrication techniques used to produce the pipette are inexpensive enough to allow the pipette to be thrown away after use. Namely, this invention provides single use delivery and constantly furnishes fresh, uncontaminated products to consumers.
- Another object of the invention is that the design of the pipette is ideal for the pharmaceutical and cosmetic industry as the material is compatible and the size and configuration of a relatively long cylindrical shape lends itself to this field of endeavor.
- a suitable applicator is part of the pre- filled pipette.
- This applicator provides the user with a convenient built in holder. Thus, the user does not have to find and attach a separate applicator to the pipette as the tubular section serves as a suitable holder by itself.
- the applicator can also be labeled and protected to maintain cleanliness.
- Still another object of the invention is that the liquid in the bulb of the pre-filled pipette is protected from bacteria or bioburden contamination by the liquid barriers located in the thin hollow tubular section.

- the best mode for carrying out the invention is presented in terms of a preferred and a second embodiment.
- the preferred embodiment as shown in FIGURES 1 through 10, and 16 through 35 is comprised of a hollow rigid round pipette body 40 constructed of a thermoplastic material such as polycarbonate, polyethylene, polyester, polystyrene, polypropylene, polysulfone, polyurethane, ethylene-vinyl-acetate or the like.
- the material may be transparent, translucent or opaque, according to the type of liquid that is stored inside.
- the body 40 consists of three basic parts: a hollow, frangible upper tube 42; a hollow, bulb section 44; contiguous with the frangible upper tube; and an open ended hollow tubular section 46, smaller in diameter and contiguous with the bulb section 44.
- the frangible upper tube 42 which has a distal end 42' that is closed and sealed, functions by introducing air into the body when the seal is violated, as shown in FIGURE 3.
- the frangible upper tube 42 is configured in such a manner as to be ruptured easily. This rupture may be achieved by having a thin radial section positioned conveniently for manual breaking, a longitudinal seam that is slender enough to split when squeezed together, or any other suitable method of breakage.
- the upper tube 42 is configured in cross section, as shown in FIGURES 6-10, and consists of a round, oval, square, rectangular or polygonal shape preferably selected to maintain headspace using liquid surface tension and capillary effect.
- the shapes that have a flat surface on at least one side, are preferred to facilitate the placement of a label when the pipette is used to contain pharmaceutical products.
- the hollow, bulb section 44 is contiguous with the frangible upper tube 42 with the purpose of forming a reservoir for liquid storage and to augment dispensing of the liquid 48 inside the pipette.
- the bulb section 44 is in a cylindrical configuration with each end having a cone-shaped taper 44' that interfaces on one end with the frangible upper tube 42, and on the other end with the hollow tubular section 46.
- the body 40 open ended hollow tubular section 46 is smaller in diameter and contiguous with the bulb section 44 for ease of handling the pipette and content distribution from within.
- the pipette body 40 is pre-filled with the liquid 48, which consists of a pharmaceutical or cosmetic substance.
- the liquid 48 may be comprised of an aqueous solution, a true solution, oil, solvent, emulsion, cream, ointment, lotion, suspension, paste, jelly, syrup, balm or any other similar substance that may be transported and/or stored in a container.
- the sealing means may be in the form of a resilient cap 50 that is configured to plug the open end of the hollow tubular section 46.
- Many and varied forms of the cap 50 may be used, such as an inner plug configuration 52, as shown in FIGURE 20, an outer plug configuration 54, as shown in FIGURE 21, a Uro- Jet distal tip applicator, as shown in FIGURE 23, or a combination inner and outer plug configuration 56, as shown in FIGURE 22.
- the resilient cap 50 is preferably made of a thermoplastic material, however, synthetic rubber or other substances may be utilized according to the compatibility requirements of the liquid 48.
- FIGURE 16 illustrates the barrier position with a typical liquid at 0 degrees Centigrade
- FIGURE 17 depicts the same product 20 degrees Centigrade
- FIGURE 18 shows the difference at 40 degrees Centigrade
- FIGURE 19 concludes the illustrations with the corresponding liquid 48 at a temperature of 50 degrees Centigrade.
- the internal diameter of the hollow tubular section 46 should be carefully selected to maintain the liquid barrier 58. A typical range of the internal diameter is 0.5 - 2.5 mm.
- the pipette consists of a hollow tubular section 46 which includes an applicator tip 60 at its open end with a multitude of types available that would function equally well.
- Some of the types of tips are illustrated in FIGURES 24-35, and include the following with their corresponding figure(s): an eye dropper tip 62, FIGURE 27; a Uro-Jet tip 64, FIGURE 28; a needleless tip 66, FIGURES 24 and 30; a male Luer-Lock tip 68, FIGURE 31; a female Luer-Lock tip 70, FIGURE 32; an absorbent cotton tip 72, FIGURE 25; an absorbent band tip 74, FIGURE 26; an absorbent foam tip 76, FIGURE 35; a multi-hole distributor 78, FIGURE 29; a brush tip 80, FIGURE 33; and a cork tip 82, FIGURE 34.
- the second embodiment of the invention is illustrated in FIGURES 11-15 and 20- 35, and is basically the same as the preferred embodiment except the upper tube 42 is omitted and the configuration of the bulb section 44 is resilient and simply replaces the cone-shaped taper 44' on the upper end with a hemispherical closure 84, as illustrated in FIGURES 11 and 12.
- the tubular section 46 also differs slightly in that the body 40 also has a hollow tip section 86, with an open end 88 adjoining the tubular section 46 for controlled distribution of contents from within the pipette.
- a tapered section 90 is disposed between the hollow tubular section 46 and the hollow tip section 86, as the hollow tip section 86 is considerably smaller, having an internal diameter from at least two to three times smaller than the internal diameter of the hollow tubular section 46.
- the tapered section 90 also allows a smooth and even transition between the two tubular elements.
- the body hollow tubular section 46 has a length that is at least two times longer than the body hollow tip section 86.
- the balance of the elements are the same as the preferred embodiment and the operation is similar, except the bulb section 44 completely controls the distribution of the pre-filled contents of the pipette.
