Abstract
A medication dispensing applicator which utilizes indicia inscribed on different parts of the applicator to inform a user which nostril or other body location was last utilized in dispensing of the medication and when the medication was dispensed. This information is to inform the user when and where the medication was last dispensed so the user can readily determine what is the correct time for a further dispensing of medication and as to which location the medication is to be dispensed as locations are to be alternated.
Claims6
A nasal medication substance applicator with incident reminder system usable in conjunction with a nose having a left nostril and a right nostril comprising:
- a vessel having an internal reservoir adapted to contain a quantity of a liquid medication substance;
- a cap pump mounted on said vessel, said cap including a pump, said pump being actuatable to dispense the liquid medication substance, said cap vessel having a first indicia, said first indicia indicating which nostril of the left nostril and the right nostril was last sprayed with the liquid medication the time of alternative times or the location of alternative locations of application of the substance;
- and
- an injector nozzle mounted on said cap vessel, said injector nozzle being movable relative to said cap vessel between a dispensing position and a non-dispensing position, said injector nozzle also being freely pivotally movable on said cap, said injector nozzle having a wing structure forming a pair of diametrically spaced apart wing members , applying a downward force toward said vessel against said wing members structure results in movement of said injector nozzle from said non-dispensing position to said dispensing position with some of the liquid medication substance to be ejected from said injector nozzle in the form of a misting spray , left second indicating indicia located on one said wing member structure, right third indicating indicia also located on the remaining said wing member structure, with said left second indicating indicia being aligned with said first indicia the user is informed that the left nostril was last sprayed of a time or location of application, with the right third indicating indicia being aligned with said first indicia the user is informed that the right nostril was last sprayed of an alternative time or location of application.
The method of applying liquid medication in a spray within either a left nostril or a right nostril of a nose comprising the steps of;
- utilizing an applicator that has a liquid method containing vessel on which is mounted a cap upon which is noted first indicia indicating which nostril (either left or right) was last sprayed with said applicator;
- utilizing an applicator that has an injector nozzle mounted on said cap which is pivotally movable and lineally movable relative to said cap;
- utilizing a wing structure on said injector nozzle that has a pair of diametrically spaced apart wing members with one of said wing members having a left indicating indicia and the remaining said wing member having a right indicating indicia where said wing structure can be pivoted relative to said cap permitting alignment of either said left indicating indicia or said right indicating indicia with said first indicia thereby informing the user which nostril of said left nostril or said right nostril was last sprayed;
- and
- lineally moving said injector nozzle relative to said cap causing dispensing of a precise quantity of a misting spray from said injector nozzle.
A medication applicator with incident reminder system usable alternatively between a pair of locations on a human or other animal body, said medication applicator comprising:
- a vessel having an internal reservoir adapted to contain a quantity of a medication;
- a cap mounted on said vessel, said cap having first indicia, said first indicia indicating which location was last applied with the medication;
- and
- a dispensing nozzle mounted on said cap, said injector nozzle being movable relative to said cap between a dispensing position and a non-dispensing position, said dispensing nozzle also being freely pivotally movable on said cap, said dispensing nozzle having a wing structure forming a pair of diametrically spaced apart wing members, applying a downward force toward said vessel against said wing members results in movement of said dispensing nozzle from said non-dispensing position to said dispensing position with some of the medication to be ejected from said dispensing nozzle, first location indicating indicia located on one said wing member, second location indicating indicia located on the remaining said wing member, with said first location indicating indicia being aligned with said first indicia the user is informed that the first location was last applied, with the second location indicating indicia being aligned with said first indicia the user is informed that the second location was last applied.
