Abstract
A dispenser assembly includes a dispenser bottle having a nipple for dispensing a solution (e.g., eye drop solution, eye wash solution, eye lid cleaner and/or wash solution), and a cap removably couplable to the dispenser bottle over the nipple. The dispenser bottle has a chamber that removably receives a single-use vial cartridge. An eye cup is fixedly coupled to the dispenser bottle around the nipple, or the eye cup is detachable and invertible relative to the dispenser bottle. The eye cup can be supported on or rest on the periphery of the eye socket to facilitate delivery of the solution onto or over a user's eye.
Claims20
A dispenser assembly, comprising:
- a dispenser bottle comprising:
- a circumferential sidewall;
- a first surface;
- and
- a chamber extending from an opening in a second surface to an opening at a base of the dispenser bottle, the chamber having a chamber wall spaced inward from the circumferential sidewall to define a gap between the chamber wall and the circumferential sidewall, the chamber configured to removably receive and hold a vial therein;
- and
- an eye cup coupled to the second surface of the dispenser bottle and extending distally from the second surface, the eye cup comprising:
- a circumferential sidewall disposed around the opening of the chamber;
- and
- a distal edge configured to be disposed over an eye socket to facilitate delivery of a solution from the vial into a user's eye.
A dispenser assembly, comprising:
- a dispenser bottle having:
- a coupling mechanism;
- and
- a chamber having a chamber wall extending from an opening in a surface proximate to the coupling mechanism and to an opening at a bottom surface of the dispenser bottle, the chamber wall spaced inward from a circumferential sidewall to define a gap between the chamber wall and the circumferential sidewall;
- and
- an eye cup having a first open end and a second open end opposite the first open end and configured to removably fit over at least a portion of the dispenser bottle, the eye cup being couplable to the coupling mechanism of the dispenser bottle in a stowed position where the eye cup is disposed about an upper portion of the dispenser bottle, the eye cup further being couplable to the coupling mechanism of the dispenser bottle in a deployed position where the eye cup is disposed so that it extends around and distally from the coupling mechanism.
