Composition delivery device and methods of use

摘要

A self-contained composition dosing and delivery system provides an efficient device to store and deliver materials, particularly liquids, in a safe and controlled manner. The device also provides a dosing element internal the device chamber, thus eliminating the need for additional components. In particular, the device itself may be used to deliver liquid medicine and other compositions which are liquids, or gel-like, in controlled amounts or doses. The device may also include child-proof mechanism, or child safety feature to reduce child poisoning due to Over-the-Counter (OTC) medication overdoses.
