Description
FIELD OF INVENTION
[0001] The present invention relates generally to a two piece
closure caps for bottle containers having a threaded neck portion
onto which the cap is intended to fit. More specifically, the
bottle container is used for storing and dispensing
pharmaceutical/medical product. The medical product is in the
liquid form for ophthalmic and/or Ear related
infections/disease.
BACKGROUND AND PRIOR ART OF INVENTION
[0002] Most standard bottle containers are usually provided with a
single spiral thread at the neck portion to accommodate a twist-on
cap. The prior art contains many suggestions for closure caps.
[0003] It has been observed that there are various designs or
construction of closure caps for bottle is available in the market
for use in ophthalmic vials or Ear drop. When the vial is pressed
by user, it results in the flow of liquid drug from the nozzle
mouth of bottle container. This deflection of bottle resulted due
to application of external pressure creates significant internal
air pressure pushing the vial liquid forcing it to come out.
Therefore, most of the times, the liquid drug comes out in excess
of required amount and there is no control over the liquid quantity
as it solely depends on the size and design of orifice, amount of
pressure the liquid has undergone and the deflection of bottle.
Deflection also depends on the material of construction of bottle.
Hence, in totality, it results non uniform flow of liquid, wastage
of liquid drug and over dispensing of liquid drug in the eye or
ear.
[0004] The inventors of the proposed invention identify that mainly
the size and design of orifice of the bottle container and closure
cap govern the entire dispensing phenomenon. So far, the flow of
liquid from the bottle container or vial is not precisely
quantified in any of the designs available in the prior art.
[0005] According to the prior art, the closure cap for bottle
having the traditional spiral thread on a standard bottle container
do not have potential to store the drug without leakage and at the
same time dispense correct amount of drug to the user.
[0006] Therefore, the inventors believe that use of a specially
designed cap on a standard bottle type closure, only when the cap
is used in conjunction with an appropriately designed with
structured neck portion could solve the above-identified problems.
Hence, there is grave need to provide a bottle container along with
closure cap, which can give accurate and uniform dispensing of
liquid and at the same store the liquid leak proof In order to
provide a leakage proof locking closure feature, it has heretofore
been necessary to modify the closure caps for such bottle
containers, which required not only a special design for the cap
itself, but a compatible design and the safety feature for the neck
portion of the container.
OBJECTIVES OF THE INVENTION
[0007] It is accordingly a principal object of the present
invention to provide a closure cap along with bottle container
which overcomes the disadvantages of the prior art.
[0008] Another objective of the present invention is to provide a
closure cap along with bottle container overcome the problem of
over dispensing of liquid drug and ensure safeguard to human
eye/ear against many potential hazards.
[0009] Yet another objective of the present invention is to provide
a closure cap for bottle container which is capable to provide
accurate and uniform dispensing of liquid and at the same store the
liquid leak proof.
[0010] Yet another objective of the present invention is to provide
device pertains to the specific size and design of the orifice to
give uniform quantity of each liquid drop oozing out from the
vial.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
[0011] The present invention relates to closure caps for bottle
containers having a threaded neck portion onto which the cap is
intended to fit. More specifically, closure cap is basically two
piece construction, wherein specific size and design of the orifice
is provided in the first piece to give accurate and uniform
quantity of each liquid drop from the bottle container and at the
same time stopping means is provided in the second piece to ensure
leak proof storage. The development of this particular device help
to utilize the liquid efficiently with the control on the exact
quantity required to be dispensed. It is an advanced design with
better control and can be used widely with improved human comfort
and care. The drop size depends on the dispensing quantity and
viscosity of the liquid. The size of the orifice has to be specific
for a particular dispensing quantity and particular liquid
characteristics. The desired liquid output can be achieved for a
specific fluid after studying the liquid properties and finalizing
the orifice size. This new invention is widely applicable for any
liquid for any desired output. The product of present invention
bring safeguard to human eye or ear or against many potential
hazards due to over dispensing.

proof closing of first piece. The construction of stopping means
(20) may vary as per construction of orifice (10) to prevent any
leakage, during non use of the said bottle container.
[0033] A user firstly opens the second piece (B) then only liquid
stored in the bottle container will dispense from the orifice (10)
of the first piece. The orifice design and shape ensure the
accurate amount to be dispensed from the container to the eye or
ear. After use, the second piece (B) will be placed on the first
piece (A), which provides leakage proof sealing to the bottle
container irrespective of the bottle container placement.

closure cap along with bottle container overcome the problem of
over dispensing of liquid drug and ensure safeguard to human
eye/ear against many potential hazards.
[0035] Yet another advantage of the present invention is to provide
a closure cap for bottle container which is capable to provide
accurate and uniform, dispensing of liquid and at the same store
the liquid leak proof.
[0036] Yet another advantage of the present invention is to provide
device pertains to the specific size and design of the orifice to
give uniform quantity of each liquid drop oozing out from the
vial.
