Abstract
A single dose dispensing package (100) having a backing (102) for maintaining the package in a substantially flat orientation is disclosed. A score (106) through the backing allows the package to open upon flexure. At least one additional score on the opposite side provides at least one metered opening in the package. Absorbent material (112) placed over the score, and adhered to the dispensing package only in the area of the score, provides controlled dispensing and application of the contents using essentially an entire surface of the absorbent material as an applicator.
Description
- This application claims the benefit of provisional U.S. patent application No. 60/955,918, filed Aug. 15, 2007, and provisional U.S. patent application No. 60/947,730, filed Jul. 3, 2007.
- The present invention generally pertains to single dose packaging of one or more compositions, and to dispensing packages further comprising an applicator for the one or more compositions.
- Various designs have been used to package different types of compositions. Prior devices, however, generally have been unable to provide packages that are capable of dispensing liquids, gels, creams, dispersions, pastes and other types of fluid and semi-fluid compositions in a controlled and easy to use fashion. In addition, many packages require the use of two hands to open the package. Further, many packages require fine dexterity or the use of fingernails to peel off coverings to access the contents of the package. Opening these types of packages requires additional time, and may require skills not possessed by various segments of the population. Prior devices also have been unable to easily and economically allow the simultaneous application of two or more incompatible compositions.
- Exemplary packaging dispensers are shown and described in U.S. Pat. No. 4,140,409; U.S. Pat. No. 4,430,013; and U.S. Pat. No. 6,007,264, each incorporated herein by reference. Additional packaging dispensers are disclosed in U.S. Patent Publication No. 2006/0283727, also incorporated herein by reference. However, the art still requires a simple and easy to use, low cost package that allows the user to open the package with one hand, and dispense and apply the contents of the package in a controlled manner.
- The present invention is directed to an economical, easy to use dispensing package that contains one or more reservoirs of a composition. In embodiments containing two or more reservoirs of a composition, the compositions can be incompatible, either physically or chemically. The contents of the reservoirs are dispensed onto an absorbent material when the dispensing package is opened, and essentially an entire surface the absorbent material acts as an applicator for simultaneous application of the compositions. After the dispensing package is opened, and the contents of a reservoir is released, the absorbent material remains attached to the remainder of the dispensing package for ease of application to a surface, for example, human skin. In embodiments wherein two or more reservoirs of compositions are present, the compositions can be applied directly to the skin in the absence of an applicator.
- In one embodiment, the present invention is directed to a package for compositions and dispensing the compositions through at least one opening, said package comprising a backing of sufficient rigidity to maintain the package in a substantially flat configuration; a first score formed extending at least partially into a first side of the backing; a coating formed on a second side of the plastic backing having an elastic limit that is greater (i.e., is more flexible) than the elastic limit of the backing; a pouch formed on the second side of the backing that is adapted to hold the contents of the package; and at least one second score extending from an interior portion of the pouch and at least partially into the second side of the backing, the at least one second score substantially aligned with the first score on the backing such that flexure of the backing by a first amount is sufficient to cause the backing to exceed the first elastic limit and break along the first score, while flexure to a folded position is insufficient to cause the coating to exceed the second elastic limit.
- In another embodiment, the present invention is directed to a package for two or more compositions and the simultaneous dispensing of the compositions through two or more openings, said package comprising a body of sufficient rigidity to maintain the package in a substantially flat configuration; a first score found extending at least partially in a first side of the backing; a coating formed on a second side of the plastic body having an elastic limit that is greater than the elastic limit of the backing; two or more pouches formed on the second side of the backing that are adapted to hold two or more compositions as contents of the package; and at least one second score extending from an interior portion of each pouch and at least partially into the second side of the backing, the at least one second score substantially aligned with the first score on the backing such that flexure of the backing by a first amount is sufficient to cause the backing to exceed the first elastic limit and break along the first score, while flexure to a folded position is insufficient to cause the coating to exceed the second limit.
- In each embodiment, an absorbent material is adhered to the package solely at an area substantially aligned with the scores of the package. In accordance with the present invention, when the contents of the pouch are released by bending the ends of the dispensing device, the contents of the pouch contact and arc absorbed by the absorbent material. The absorbent material is secured to the package in such a manner that it does not flex with the backing of the dispensing package, and an essentially entire surface area of the absorbent material is available to apply the released composition or compositions to a surface.
- In embodiments wherein the package comprises two or more pouches, the absorbent material can be omitted to allow a simultaneous application of two or more compositions without premixing prior to application to a surface. In preferred embodiments of packages comprising two or more pouches, the absorbent material is present and the two or more compositions are premixed in the applicator prior to application to a surface.

FIG. 1 is a perspective view of one embodiment of a dispensingpackage 100 in accordance with the present invention. Dispensingpackage 100 can be of any shape, such as square, round, rectilinear, triangular, and “dog bone” for example. Dispensingpackage 100 has abacking 102 typically made of a thin plastic or foil material, such as polystyrene, polyethylene, polypropylene or other polymeric or plastic type of material, including laminates of the previously mentioned materials and metal foils.Backing 102 has a sufficient thickness and stiffness to hold dispensingpackage 100 in a substantially flat configuration. According toFIG. 1 , ascore 106 is made into backing 102. Upon flexure of dispensingpackage 100, backing 102 breaks alongscore 106. Apouch 108 on the under side of dispensingpackage 100 contains a fluid material, such as a liquid or gel, that is dispensed through thebroken backing 102. Pouch 108 also can comprise various plastic, foil, or plastic and metal and plastic foil laminate materials. Pouch materials can be designed to provide appropriate barrier properties to the pouch to prevent the ingress or egress of materials or gases that could adversely affect the contents of the package. - A metering hole is formed by a second score that extends through the interior portion of the package into
backing 102 such that the contents ofdispensing package 100 is dispensed overscore 106. -
FIG. 2 is a side perspective view of dispensingpackage 100 ofFIG. 1 . As shown inFIG. 2 ,backing 102 has a thickness that provides sufficient structural integrity to holddispensing package 100 in a substantially flat configuration.Score 106 is formed intobacking 102. As seen inFIG. 2 , apouch 108 is attached to the underside ofbacking 102 and contains the contents of the package, which typically is a liquid, lotion, gel, paste, dispersion, or other such composition. -
FIG. 3 is a perspective view of the underside of dispensingpackage 100. As shown inFIG. 3 ,backing 102 has ascore 106 that extends the entire width ofbacking 102 as indicated above. An additional score, or metered slit, 110 is formed underneathpouch 108 on the interior portion ofdispensing package 100, which is the backside (or underside) ofbacking 102.Score 110 typically is a short score and, as disclosed above, provides a metering hole for dispensing the contents of dispensingpackage 100. -
FIG. 4 is a perspective view of the present invention showing that the underside of dispensingpackage 100 includes a continuous piece ofabsorbent material 112, such as foam, flock, or sponge, that is positioned overscore 106 and meteredopenings dispensing package 100. Although three metered openings are depicted, those skilled in the art can appreciate that there can be any number of metered openings in a variety of different configurations to provide controlled application of the contents of dispensingpackage 100 ontomaterial 112.Material 112 is secured to backing 102 only in the vicinity ofscores 116, e.g., along the line formed by meteredopening material 112 is not secured to backing 102.Material 112 does not need to be attached to thebacking 102 over the full width of the package (i.e., along the score line formed by themetered opening 114, 115, and 118). The attachment can be adjusted as necessary along the score to maintain desired package performance. -
Absorbent material 112 can be of any shape, i.e., round, oval, square, or rectangular, for example.Absorbent material 112 preferably is at least as wide (width is defined as parallel to the score 106) asbacking 102, and most preferably is slightly larger in width thanbacking 102. The larger width allows the absorbent material to shield the sharp edges of the package from exposure to the surface being treated with the dispensing package after the package is opened. - The absorbent material can be reinforced to assist the material to remain in a desired shape when the dispensing package is opened. Any method of reinforcing the absorbent material is appropriate as long as it does not compromise the ability of the material to dispense the contents of the package. Examples of reinforcements include the use of a backing material attached to the absorbent material, the use of a variable density absorbent material, a multiplicity of absorbent materials laminated together, a non-absorbent porous material laminated to the surface of the absorbent material, an embossed absorbent material and the like.
- The absorbent material can be of a configuration and/or identity to retain the full contents of the package when opened or to allow a portion of the package contents to flow through the absorbent material and exit through a surface of the material. Preferred absorbent materials retain a substantial portion of the package contents within the material structure and acts as an effective applicator to apply/transfer the package contents to a target surface.
-
Material 112 is sufficient absorbent to collect the contents of the pouches and has the ability to release the contents to a surface contacted by thematerial 112. In the case of dispersion, the absorbency and porosity ofmaterial 112 is sufficient to apply the dispersed solid particles of the dispersion to a surface. -
FIG. 5 is a side view illustrating the manner in whichdispensing package 100 can be grasped by a user. As shown inFIG. 5 , the ends of dispensingpackage 100 are grasped between the thumb and middle finger of the user. The index finger can then be used to push on the pouch side of dispensingpackage 100.Dispensing package 100 flexes and breaks alongscore 106 to dispense the contents of the pouch. -
FIG. 6 is a perspective view illustrating the manner in whichdispensing package 100 is opened.FIG. 6 illustrates thatscore 106 extends across the entire width ofbacking 102 and continuous piece ofabsorbent material 112 is positioned and secured overscore 106. As shown inFIG. 6 ,pouch 108 dispensescontents 402 along the center portion ofscore 106 and intoabsorbent material 112. Holding the two ends ofbacking 102, a user can applycontents 402 of dispensingpackage 100 in a controlled manner using the entire surface ofabsorbent material 112. Applications for this embodiment include, but are not limited to, applying a sterilizer to a surface, applying a lotion or cosmetic, cleaning a surface, and the like. -
FIG. 7 more particularly illustrates how dispensingpackage 100 connects an applicator ofabsorbent material 112 whencontents 402 are released from the pouch.Contents 402 are readily applied to a surface as ends of thepackage 100 are held between the fingers. As seen inFIG. 7 ,absorbent material 112 is adhered to backing 102 along an area defined byscore 106. -
FIG. 8 illustrates another embodiment of the present invention. In this embodiment, the package contains two or more pouches for the delivery of two or more compositions. This embodiment is especially useful for the simultaneous application of compositions that may be physically or chemically incompatible. This embodiment is useful, for example, in the application of a substrate and an activator, e.g., a self tanning system, wherein it is preferred to maintain the activator separate from the substrate to avoid a premature activation of the substrate. Another example of incompatible materials that can be applied simultaneously is clindamycin and benzoyl peroxide for the treatment of acne. In another embodiment, the two compositions are immiscible, i.e., an aqueous composition and a hydrocarbon-based composition. - More particularly,
FIG. 8 is a perspective view of the underside of adispensing package 200. As shown inFIG. 8 , abacking 202 has ascore 206 that extends the entire width ofbacking 202. Package 200 contains twopouches B. Pouches separation zone 222, for example, by a heat seal. Additional scores, or metered slits, 210 are formed underneath each ofpouch 218 andpouch 220 on the interior portion of dispensingpackage 200, which is the backside (or underside) ofbacking 202.Scores 216 typically are short-scores for to provide metering holes for dispensing compositions A and B. - Although
FIG. 8 illustrates a dispensing package having two pouches, any plurality of pouches, e.g., three to eight pouches, are envisioned for this embodiment. -
FIG. 9 is a perspective view illustrating the manner in whichpackage 200 is opened. In this embodiment,package 200 is free of an applicator of absorbent material. As shown inFIG. 9 , compositions A and B are separately and simultaneously dispensed frompackage 200 for application to a surface, such as human skin. After application to the surface, the treated surface can be rubbed or wiped to admix and distribute compositions A and B. - In another embodiment, dispensing
package 200 has an applicator of absorbent material connected thereto, as illustrated inFIG. 6 andFIG. 7 . In this embodiment, the composition of each pouch is released into the applicator, admixes with compositions from the other pouches, and the compositions are applied to a surface via the applicator. - In another embodiment, dispensing
package 200 has an applicator of absorbent material connected thereto, as illustrated inFIG. 6 andFIG. 7 , in which the applicator is attached in such a way to create a chamber (not shown) between the absorbent material and the pouches wherein the composition of each pouch can admix with the compositions from the other pouches just prior to entering the applicator. The admixed compositions are then applied to a surface via the applicator. - Advantages of the present invention include, but are not limited to, the ability of a user to open a package with one hand and control the dispensing of the contents of the package in accordance with the flexure of the package. A backing maintains the structural integrity of the package. The backing material can be easily flexed with force applied by a thumb and a single finger of one hand. Flexing of the backing causes the backing to exceed its elastic limit along a score, which causes the package to open. A second score on the interior of the package provides a metering hole through a structural layer that regulates the dispensing of a fluid. An absorbent material placed adjacent to or covering the score provides controlled dispensing and application of the contents of the dispensing package.
