Laite pillerin tai kapselin muotoisten lääkkeiden jakelemiseksi haluttuina annoksinaDevice for delivering pills or capsule-shaped drugs in desired doses

Keksinnön kohteena on laite pillerin tai kapselin muotoisten lääkkeiden jake-5 lemiseksi haluttuina annoksina, laitteeseen kuuluessa rengasmainen kasetti-runko, jossa on keskeinen aukko, jota ympäröi päältä avoin rengasmainen tila, joka on jaettu väliseinillä annoslokeroihin, ja annoslokeroita peittävä, kasetti-runkoon nähden kiertyvä kansi, jonka kehäreunan lähellä on jakeluaukko, joka on saatettavissa minkä tahansa annoslokeron kohdalle kantta kiertämällä, 10 minkä lisäksi kannessa on keskeinen syvennys tai rengaskaulus, joka mahtuu uppoamaan rungon keskiaukkoon ja rungossa on annoslokeroiden jakoon sovitetulla jaolla oleva pyällys ja kannessa on pyällyksen kanssa yhteistoimintaan tulevia pidäkkeitä, jotka antavat pidätystuntuman kannen pyöritystä vastaan kun kannen aukko on annoslokeron kohdalla.The invention relates to a device for dispensing pills or capsule-shaped medicaments in desired doses, the device comprising an annular cartridge body having a central opening surrounded by an open annular space divided by dividing walls into the dose compartments and a cassette opening enclosing the dose compartments. a lid having a dispensing opening near the peripheral edge that can be brought to any portion compartment by rotating the lid, further comprising a central recess or annular collar that fits into the center opening of the housing, and having a sleeve on the housing , which give a sense of restraint against rotation of the lid when the lid opening is at the dose compartment.

15 Tällainen lääkkeiden jakelulaite tunnetaan hakijan patenttihakemuksesta WO 02/17850. Tämän keksinnön tarkoituksena on edelleen kehittää annosten jakelukasettia siten, että sitä voidaan käyttää entistä tehokkaammin myös automaattisesta jakelulaitteesta riippumattomana käsikäyttöisenä annosten jake-20 lulaitteena, jonka ominaisuuksia on entisestään parannettu sekä annosten ja- t · · kelemiseksi annoslokeroista, että annosten lataamiseksi lokeroihin.Such a drug delivery device is known from Applicant's Patent Application WO 02/17850. It is an object of the present invention to further develop the dose dispensing cartridge so that it can be used more efficiently also as a manually operated dose dispenser independent of the automatic dispenser, which features have been further improved for both dose dispensing from and loading the dispensers.

• I ' • t • * · • · • · * * · · Tämä tarkoitus saavutetaan oheisessa patenttivaatimuksessa 1 esitettyjen tunnusmerkkien perusteella. Epäitsenäisissä patenttivaatimuksissa on esitetty 25 keksinnön edullisia rakenneratkaisuja.This object is achieved by the features set forth in claim 1 below. The dependent claims disclose preferred structural solutions of the invention.

* · · :t6: Seuraavassa keksinnön yhtä suoritusesimerkkiä selostetaan viittaamalla ohei- siin piirustuksiin, joissa: « * · • · * \.* · ·: T6: An embodiment of the invention will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings in which: «* · • · * \.

Kuvio 2 esittää keksinnön mukaisen laitteen kantta päältä (alempi kuva) ja alta (ylempi kuva) nähtynä.Figure 2 is a top plan view (bottom view) and a bottom view (top view) of the device of the invention.

Laitteeseen kuuluu rengasmainen kasettirunko 1, jossa on keskeinen aukko 5 2, jota ympäröi päältä avoin rengasmainen tila, joka on jaettu väliseinillä 4 annoslokeroihin 3. Esitetyssä tapauksessa annoslokeroita 3 on 28 kappaletta, vastaten 4x7 viikonpäivää. Annoslokeroiden määrä voi olla myös esim. 14, vastaten 2x7 viikonpäivää.The apparatus includes an annular cartridge body 1 having a central aperture 5 2 surrounded by an open annular space divided by partitions 4 into the dose compartments 3. In the illustrated case, there are 28 dose compartments 3 corresponding to 4x7 days of the week. The number of dose trays can also be e.g. 14, corresponding to 2x7 days of the week.

10 Annoslokeroita 3 peittävä kansi 11 on järjestetty kasetti runkoon 1 nähden kiertyväksi. Kannen 11 ulkokehällä on pyällys 17, joka muodostaa sormitar-tunnan kannen 1 kiertämisen helpottamiseksi. Kannen 11 kehäreunan lähellä on jakeluaukko 13, joka on kantta 11 kiertämällä saatettavissa minkä tahansa annoslokeron 3 kohdalle.The lid 11 covering the dose compartments 3 is arranged to pivot with respect to the cartridge 1. The outer circumference of the cover 11 has a knob 17 which forms a finger grip to facilitate rotation of the cover 1. Near the peripheral edge of the lid 11 there is a dispensing opening 13 which can be rotated to cover any of the dose compartments 3.

Rungon 1 yläreunan ulkokehällä on rengaspalle 8 ja kannen reuna on varustettu sisäänpäin suuntautuvilla ulokkeilla 18, joita vastaavalla jaolla rengas-palteessa 8 on katkeamat 9, jotka muodostavat vain kannen yhdessä kierto-asennossa läpiviennit ulokkeille 18. Kun kansi 11 asetettu paikoilleen, maini-·:*. 20 tussa kiertoasennossa, on ulokkeet 18 saatettavissa tarttumaan rengaspal- teen 8 taakse kantta 11 kiertämällä. Tällöin kansi 11 tulee pidätetyksi rungon ·· · 1 yhteydessä kannen 11 kaikissa muissa kiertoasennoissa paitsi ulokkeiden *:·*: 18 läpiviennin sallivassa kiertoasennossa. Esitetyssä tapauksessa tämä kan- *·**·: nen paikalleen panon ja irrotuksen salliva kiertoasento on valittu siten, että • ·· 25 kannen jakeluaukko 13 osuu annoslokeroiden 3 välissä olevan tilan 10 viereen. Tila 10 on päältä umpinainen ja alhaalta avoin ja sen ottama tila on V·': sama kuin kunkin annoslokeron 3 ottama tila eli vastaa annoslokeroiden 3 »·' jakoa.The upper periphery of the body 1 has an outer ring 8 and the edge of the lid is provided with inwardly projecting projections 18 having a corresponding division on the ring bead 8 with breaks 9 forming only the cover in one rotation position for the projections 18. When the lid 11 is fitted *. In the rotated position 20, the projections 18 can be made to engage behind the ring piece 8 by twisting the cover 11. In this case, the lid 11 will be retained in connection with the body ·· · 1 in all rotational positions of the lid 11 except in the rotary position which permits the passage of the projections *: · *: 18. In the illustrated case, this carrier position for mounting and disengaging the carrier · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · is selected so that • ·· 25 lid dispensing opening 13 hits adjacent space 10. The space 10 is closed at the top and open at the bottom and the space occupied by it is V · ': equal to the space occupied by each dose compartment 3, i.e. corresponding to the division of the dose compartments 3 · ·'.

• · • · · • * ♦ • · ··· 30 Kannessa 11 on syvennys 12 tai sen rengasseinämää 15 vastaava rengas-·;**: kaulus, joka mahtuu uppoamaan rungon 1 keskiaukkoon 2 kun kansi asete- V*: taan paikalleen. Syvennyksessä 12 on ikkuna 14, josta näkyy ainakin yhden 3 117689 annoksen jakeluaika, joka on painettu jakeluaikatauluun, joka on sijoitettu rungon keskiaukkoon 2. Vaihdettava jakeluaikataulu (ei esitetty) on siis sijoitettavissa alhaalta päin rungon keskiaukkoon 2 siten, että se tulee nojaamaan vasten aukon 2 yläreunassa olevaa rengaslaippaa 5. Rengaslaipan 5 5 viereen sopivalla jaolla järjestettyjen kohoumien 7 avulla jakeluaikataulu saadaan asetetuksi oikeaan kiertokulmaan. Kiekkomainen jakeluaikataulu voi olla pahvia tai paperia, joka on tuettu kirkkaalla muovikuorella. Tällaiseen vaihdettavaan jakeluaikatauluun voidaan jakeluaikataulun lisäksi painaa myös yksilöllisen lääkeannostelun lääkkeiden nimet.The cover 11 has a ring 12; or a ring corresponding to its annular wall 15; a collar that fits into the central opening 2 of the body 1 when the cover is inserted into the V *. The recess 12 has a window 14 showing the dispensing time of at least one of the 3,117,689 portions printed on a dispensing schedule positioned in the center opening 2 of the body. Thus, a replaceable dispensing schedule (not shown) can be positioned bottom down the center opening 2 a ring flange 5 at the top. By means of protrusions 7 arranged in a suitable division adjacent to the ring flange 5 5, the distribution schedule is set at the right angle of rotation. The disk-like delivery schedule may be cardboard or paper supported by a clear plastic cover. Such an interchangeable delivery schedule may include, in addition to the delivery schedule, the names of the individual drug delivery drugs.

Rungon keskiaukon 2 kehällä, esitetyssä tapauksessa rengaslaipan 5 sisäke-hällä on annoslokeroiden 3 jakoon sovitetulla jaolla oleva pyällys 6. Kannen syvennyksen 12 ulkokehällä tai syvennyksen 12 seinämää 15 vastaavan ren-gaskauluksen yhteydessä on pyällyksen 6 kanssa yhteistoimintaan tulevia 15 pidäkkeitä 16, jotka antavat pidätystuntuman kannen pyöritystä vastaan kun kannen aukko 13 on annoslokeron 3 kohdalla. Tämä helpottaa aukon 13 asemointia annoslokeron 3 kohdalle kun kantta 11 kierretään. Aiemmin mainittu ulokkeiden 18 läpiviennin salliva kiertoasento ei osu kannen pidä-tysasennon kohdalle, jolloin kansi ei vahingossa irtoa kun jakeluaukko 13 on *:·. 20 jonkun annoslokeron 3 kohdalla. Tässä kannen paikalleen tuonnin ja irrotuk- sen mahdollistavassa kiertoasennossa jakeluaukko 13 osuu edullisesti umpi- • · *. :*: naisen tilan 10 ja ensimmäisen annoslokeron 3 väliin.On the periphery of the body center opening 2, in the case shown, the inner periphery of the annular flange 5 has a knob 6 arranged on the outer circumference of the cover recess 12 or a ring collar corresponding to the wall 15 of the recess 12 having lugs 16 cooperating with the knife 6 rotation when the lid opening 13 is at the dose compartment 3. This facilitates the positioning of the opening 13 at the dose compartment 3 as the lid 11 is rotated. The previously mentioned rotation position allowing the passage of the projections 18 to pass does not coincide with the lid retention position, whereby the lid is not accidentally detached when the dispensing opening 13 is *: ·. 20 at one of the 3 dose trays. In this rotational position allowing the lid to be inserted and removed, the dispensing opening 13 preferably sits closed. : *: between female space 10 and first dose tray 3.

Toisin sanoen kannen 11 V*: keskialue on ikkunaa 14 lukuun ottamatta olennaisesti läpinäkymätön, olkoon ·· ·;·’ sitten kysymyksessä syvennyksen 12 pohja tai rengaskauluksen yläosa, joka • on samassa tasossa muun kansipinnan kanssa. Esitetyssä tapauksessa ikku-30 nan 14 keskellä oleva muotoilu 14a näyttää jaeltavana olevan annoksen ja ·:··: sen aikataulun. Ikkuna on molempiin suuntiin riittävän leveä, jotta siitä näkyy myös yksi annos eteenpäin ja yksi annos taaksepäin eli seuraava annos ja jo 4 117689 otettu annos. Pidäkkeet 16 on muotoiltu siten, että kantta voidaan pyörittää kahteen suuntaan ja että pyöritysvastus on suurempi jakeluaikataulussa taaksepäin kuin jakeluaikataulussa eteenpäin. Esitetyssä tapauksessa pidäkkeet 16 ovat joustavia kielekkeitä.However, if the recess 12 of the lid is replaced only by a recess corresponding to its wall 15, it is still preferable to cover the delivery schedule with the exception of a specific dose range. for a spectacular window 14. In other words, the middle region of the lid 11, except for the window 14, is substantially opaque, be it ·· ·; · 'be it the bottom of the recess 12 or the upper part of the annular collar • flush with the other cover surface. In the case shown, the centered design 14a of the iku-30 nan 14 shows the dose to be dispensed and the schedule of ·: ··. The window is wide enough in both directions so that it also shows one dose forward and one dose backward, ie the next dose and the 4 117689 doses already taken. The retainers 16 are designed so that the lid can be rotated in two directions and the rotation resistance is higher in the distribution schedule backward than in the distribution schedule forward. In the case shown, the retainers 16 are flexible tabs.
