Blister-strip dispenser with waste-dose collection mechanism
The patent US12036358B2 describes a blister-strip based dispenser designed for the efficient delivery of medicaments. The dispenser features a base cover, a rotatable lever arm for user actuation, and a chassis that supports at least one blister-strip arranged in a coil form. This blister-strip contains medicament pockets on at least one side. A series of interconnected rollers, linked to the lever arm, facilitate the anchoring and unwinding of the blister-strip, as well as the management of split-portions of the strip and the lid-foil. Additionally, the dispenser includes a waste-dose collection mechanism that utilizes gears and funnels to collect non-inhaled medicament from the peeled portions of the blister-strip.
Further enhancements to the dispenser include a pivoting lever arm that transitions between a closed state, which covers the mouthpiece, and an open state, exposing it for use. The internal structure of the chassis is designed with guide walls and a cavity to maintain the coil form of the blister-strip. The interconnected rollers operate through a planetary gear system, allowing for precise winding and unwinding of the blister-strip and lid-foil. The design also incorporates roller guides to direct the split-portions of the blister-strip, a chamber for storing collected non-inhaled medicaments, and a dose counter mechanism to track usage. The innovative features of this dispenser aim to enhance the user experience and improve the efficiency of medicament delivery.
