MEDICAL LIQUID DISPENSING APPLICATORS AND METHODS OF MANUFACTURE

摘要

There is provided a liquid dispensing applicator. The liquid dispensing applicator can include a sound-generating system for generating a sound during rotation of the container body to indicate to a user that the rotation is performed. The sound-generating system includes at least one knob and a plurality of ribs. the at least one knob cooperates with at least some of the ribs during rotation of the container body, in order to generate the sound. The liquid dispensing applicator can alternatively or also include a wing element insertable into a slot provided in an absorbent material. The wing element extends from an outer surface of the head component and comprises opposing surfaces and a at least one edge spike provided on an edge of the at least one wing element, and configured to prevent the absorbent material from being removed after insertion of the wing element into the slot.

主权项

1. A liquid dispensing applicator, comprising:
a container body for containing a liquid, the container body having a longitudinal axis about which the container body is rotatable and a first end and a second end, the second end comprising a projection; a head component comprising a passageway having a distal end and a proximal end, the proximal end being for receiving the second end of the container body and the distal end being for applying the liquid onto a surface, the passageway containing a slot system for receiving the projection of the container body; wherein the container body and the head component are rotatable with respect to each other to enable engagement of the projection and the slot system and cause breakage of part of the container body to form a fluid communication breach thereby allowing the liquid to flow from the container body into the passageway of the head component; and a sound-generating system for generating a sound during rotation of the container body about the longitudinal axis to indicate to a user that the rotation is performed, the sound-generating system comprising:
at least one knob and a plurality of ribs, the at least one knob cooperating with at least some of the ribs during rotation of the container body about the longitudinal axis, in order to generate the sound,wherein the at least one knob is located on an outer surface of the head component and the plurality of ribs are located on an outer surface of the second end of the container body, or the at least one knob is located on the outer surface of the second end of the container body and the plurality of ribs are located on the outer surface of the head component.
