Abstract
The present invention is a pressure-controlled release dispenser. More particularly, the present invention relates to a blister pack with individual compartments that can contain a fluid, e.g., hand sanitizer, with a piercing mechanism within an individual compartment that enables pressure-controlled release of single use portions of the fluid contained therein. A blister pack of the present invention can also contain single use portions of dry flowable materials or solid materials.
Claims11
A dispenser comprising:
- a. at least one compartment having a continuous side wall, a top portion, a piercing member fixed within said compartment, wherein the compartment is adapted to house a fluid, gel, or dry flowable material in at least a portion of the space between said side wall and said top portion;
- b. a base layer of material that defines a bottom portion of said compartment and prevents the fluid from exiting said compartment until said base layer is broken or pierced;
- wherein when pressure is applied to said base layer in an area over the piercing member, said piercing member pierces said base layer creating an opening in the base layer to access said fluid within said compartment.
A dispenser comprising a plurality of individual compartments, each compartment comprising a continuous side wall, a top portion, a base layer, and a piercing member;
- wherein said top portion and said continuous side wall are integrated so as to form a hollow opening;
- wherein said piercing member is located within said hollow opening so as to be near said base layer but not in contact with said base layer;
- wherein each of said plurality of compartments is adapted to hold an individual dose of liquid or gel;
- wherein said individual dose is accessed by external pressure applied to said base layer at the approximate location of said piercing member;
- and wherein said plurality of said individual compartments are connected through a top layer, wherein said top layer comprises perforations which allow said plurality of individual compartments to be separated from one another without releasing said liquid or gel.
