[0001] This specification relates to an invention patent, which discloses a cap having a
hypodermic syringe coupling connection, said cap including a corresponding overcap.
The cap and overcap assembly herein presented aims to be a viable alternative to the
stoppers normally employed for sealing bottles that serve as packaging for medicine
products, notably bottles with filled pharmaceutical and injectable medicine products.
[0002] The inventor of this new type of bottle sealing means for packaging medicine products,
notably bottles for pharmaceutical and injectable medicine products, has been researching
for the last seven years subjects related to injectable products, and one of these
researches resulted in conclusions regarding some aspects of primary importance, which
were liable to improvement.
[0003] The researches eventually resulted in two distinct patent applications, which address
different and specific subjects, but fully interrelated and encompassed, on a larger
scale, by the scope of pharmaceutical and injectable medicine products.
[0004] The first of these two patent applications is
PI 0822673-3, filed in 02/14/2011, entitled
"PADRONIZAÇÄO DE MEDICAMENTOS INJETÁVEIS E SEUS DILUENTS [STANDARDIZATION OF INJECTABLE MEDICINE PRODUCTS AND THEIR DILUENTS]", in which coding
between products x diluents is proposed with the inclusion of a new standardized labeling
model. Objectively, the aforementioned patent application aims to establish a new
standardization in this segment, thus preventing mistakes in reconstitution and dilution,
as well as in the administration of pharmaceutical products and similar.
[0005] The second patent application originated from the researches carried out by the present
inventor is
PI 1003460-9, which refers to a new bag for diluents, or liquid injectable medicine products.
[0006] The aforementioned patent application was filed in 09/29/2010 and is entitled
"BOLSA PARA ACONDICIONAMENTO, RECONSTITUIÇÄO E/
OU DILUIÇÄO DE PRODUTOS DE USO INJETÁVEL E DISPOSITIVO DE SEGURANÇA APLICÁVEL EM FRASCO
DE MEDICAMENTO A SER RECONSTITUIDO E/
OU DILUIDO EM UMA BOLSA PARA ACONDICIONAMENTO, RECONSTITUIÇÄO E/
OU DILUIÇÄO DE PRODUTOS DE USO INJETÁVEL [BAG FOR PACKING, RECONSTITUTION AND/OR DILUTION OF INJECTABLE PRODUCTS AND SAFETY
DEVICE APPLIED TO A BOTTLE FOR MEDICINE PRODUCTS TO BE RECONSTITUTED AND/OR DILUTED
INSIDE A BAG FOR PACKING, RECONSTITUTION AND/OR DILUTION OF INJECTABLE MEDICINE PRODUCTS]",
which incorporates a series of positive aspects when compared to conventional bags.
[0007] Among the various innovative aspects which characterize the type of bag proposed
on PI 1003460-9 are the possibility of direct coupling of a hypodermic syringe without
the use of a needle, possibility of direct coupling of a conventional bottle of the
type used for packaging of pharmaceutical and injectable medicine products, possibility
of inlet/outlet connections with a sealing system and means for enabling repeated
opening/closing cycles as well as fractioned dosage, filtering means for preventing
rubber particles ("coring"), generated by the perforation of conventional corks with
needles or a Spike (plastic needle), from entering the inner environment of the bag
and be wrongly administered to the patient.
[0008] Proceeding with his researches, the inventor turned his attention to another aspect
related to pharmaceutical products and injectable medicine products, that is, the
type of sealing method adopted for closing the bottles, which is normally defined
as a stopper employed in closing the bottles used as packaging for injectable medicine
products, seeking a project solution which allows the conception of a new and original
sealing method, which, in opposition to the conventional stopper, may be defined as
"No Coring Stopper" (in which "coring" means the generation of particles), thus the
denomination of the new sealing method as "No Coring Stopper" (a sealing method in
the form of a cap and its overcap, applicable on bottles for pharmaceutical and injectable
medicine products for which this sealing method may be considered free of particle
generation).
[0009] The inventor found out that an ideal sealing method for injectable medicine product
bottles should among other aspects ensure: Complete sealing of the bottle; maintenance
of product sterility; easy and safe utilization, and no particle generation during
reconstitution and removal of the product from the bottle.
[0010] Current stoppers belonging to the state of the art only fulfill a fraction of these
objectives, as they provide good sealing, although requiring an aluminum-seamed seal
for keeping the stopper on the bottle's head; made of rubber polymers, they receive
external sterilization, which does not ensure sterility inside the stopper which will
be penetrated by needles and "spikes" (plastic needles) and generate particles ("Coring")
when penetrated, and it should be noted that the inner sterility of the masses of
said generated particles cannot be determined.
[0011] It should also be considered that current stoppers have an upper plastic protection
called "flip off", which leads to a false state of sterility. This "flip off" only
prevents direct contact with external contaminants, but does not ensure external sterility
of the stopper, therefore requiring cleaning of the surface of the stopper using a
swab soaked in alcohol prior to penetrating it with a needle.
[0012] The penetration of rubber stoppers by metallic needles (and also by plastic spikes),
as well as generating particles, is a procedure that often causes accidents due to
puncturing.
[0013] In light of these facts, a new genre of sealing method was developed, in the shape
of a cap and an overcap, which supersedes the limitations of conventional rubber stoppers,
as it uses synthetic materials, liable to full sterilization and already with proven
compatibility with medicine products, as well as completely eliminating the use of
needles for preparing the product, thus avoiding the aforementioned accidents due
to puncturing.
[0014] The new sealing method presented by this invention patent application is accomplished
in the form of an innovative cap and its respective overcap, both made of a plastic
polymer (various polymers previously studied are compatible with injectable medicine
products, as mentioned), incorporates a connection which constitutes a door for injection
of diluents and removal of the product with no use of needles and, as it features
an edge for external locking which mechanically attaches to the surrounding border
normally incorporated to the top of the bottleneck, avoids the need of an aluminum
re-sealing seal for the stopper.
[0015] In the context of the subject of this patent application, the initial and baseline
concept to be learned is that a pharmaceutical product for parenteral use (injectable)
in powder form, stored in a glass bottle, is not a finished product.
[0016] A finished product for parenteral use must be in liquid form. As such, this powder
in a glass bottle is a product, which requires a final manufacturing phase in order
to recover the form needed for injectable use, which is the liquid form.
[0017] Any manufacturers of powdered products for parenteral use must provide proper instructions
and means for this final manufacturing process to be executed according to the Good
Manufacturing Practices.
[0018] The question that remains is: Does the Pharmaceutical Industry provide these conditions
when putting powder in a glass bottle, sealed by a rubber stopper, and releases it
to the market to be "reconstituted"? The answer is no. The industry releases its products
frequently without proper instructions, without validation of compatible diluents,
occasionally even eliminating the plastic flip offs (protective plastic layer over
the stopper) and falling back to full aluminum seals which forces nursing and pharmaceutical
professionals to rely on precarious tools such as scissors or metal spatulas in order
to access the rubber stopper. These stoppers are traditionally made of natural or
synthetic rubber, include leachable components (which may be released and contaminate
products that come into contact with them), sterilisable only externally through autoclaving
and/or radiation and, in spite of all these aspects (leachable and containing non-sterile
inner particles), are to be penetrated by a metallic needle or by spikes (plastic
needles) generating particles.
[0019] Therefore, the final manufacturing process (reconstitution) of a parenteral product
currently has no conditions to be concluded without a great chance of contamination
and/or particle generation, aside from the possibility of accidents due to puncturing,
going against the provisions of the Good Pharmaceutical Manufacturing Practices.
[0020] Only by understanding this concept, it is possible to capture the importance and
the revolution that a new sealing method, such as the method presented herein, shall
provide within the pharmaceutical segment.
[0021] This sealing method shall compel laboratories to rethink their responsibilities regarding
the final manufacturing process of powder products for injection, a phase that is
known nowadays as product reconstitution, when in fact it is still a finishing procedure
of manufacturing that the laboratories delegate to hospitals. Moreover, since it must
be this way, the proper tools for finishing this procedure must be provided.
[0022] The new sealing method, conveyed as a plastic cap (and its respective overcap) presented
herein is attached to the bottle by threading from its upper external edge, with a
central connection to the "negative luer" and the overcap to the "positive luer".
The overcap is fixed prior to the cap and sealed by a plastic seal (breakable welding
line) which shall be broken only when the product is about to be used.
[0023] This cap and overcap assembly may be mounted in three ways: a) for non-freeze-dried
products, the protection cap (overcap) is previously sealed by a plastic seal to the
cap, which shall only be broken in order to enable product usage; b) for freeze-dried
products, the protection cap (overcap) is only welded to the cap after the freeze-drying
process, because this process requires an open space on the cap for sublimation (exhaustion
of the steam formed by the direct transition from solid to gaseous state), highlighting
that this opening shall have a calculated diameter in order to ensure proper parameters
for freeze-drying; c) a varying assembly for freeze-dried products conveys the same
cap already with a fixed and sealed overcap, but with a central cone positioned towards
the inner part of the bottle, close to the glass wall and with a series of round openings
through which the steam from the freeze-drying process will be released, prior to
the full sealing of the bottle.
[0024] As the new cap is made of plastic and cannot be penetrated by needles, a "luer" device
was placed on the center part of the cap for direct connection to the syringes or
to a special bag model for diluents with a "luer" terminal and an open-close mechanism,
such as established on the patent application
PI 1003460-9.
[0025] The new cap (and its overcap) is inserted in the manufacturing process without requiring
any complex changes to the sterile filling machines used nowadays (for example, the
MD-300 Zanasi model), only requiring small adaptations to the feeding trays of filling
machines (not affecting the main structure of the machine).
[0026] A plastic welder for the protection cap (overcap) shall only be used when the cap
mentioned herein must be employed for closing bottles containing freeze-dried products.
If, in this case, a cap assembly is preferred, in which the fixed and sealed overcap
is already incorporated and has a center cone with openings for releasing steam, the
plastic welder is eliminated from the filling process of freeze-dried products.
[0027] The reconstitution of a product packed in a bottle sealed by this new cap shall be
done through secure steps, with no risks of accident by puncturing, no particle generation
and no product contamination: The seal of the protective cap is opened, directly attaching
the syringe with a positive "luer" terminal (no needle use). The reconstitution is
performed by keeping the syringe attached to the bottle through the "luer" terminals
(the syringe attached to the bottle ensures extra protection in order to ensure the
sterility of the procedure). The following step is: a) transferring a product to a
dilution bag, or b) attaching a needle for direct injection (when direct injection
is allowed and indicated).
[0028] The bottle may also (provided the product allows direct contact with the diluents)
be directly attached to the diluents bag (presented on the PI 1003460-9), also provided
with a "luer" terminal and proper open-close mechanism, constituting a real closed
system for reconstitution and dilution of medicine products.
[0029] The new cap herein presented, by dismissing the need for needles for reconstitution
procedures (worth noting that a needle is used for reconstitution and another for
administration), brings economy to the reconstitution process, by using less needles,
reducing the necessary time for preparation of injectable medicine products and also
by preventing accidents due to puncturing.
[0030] The whole reconstitution shall be performed in a safe manner, with no particle generation,
quickly and free of risk of accidents due to puncturing. It should be reminded that
the Good Manufacturing Practices (here incorporated to the reconstitution process
of a product, which, as already pointed out, is a final manufacturing process) recommend
that all these procedures are executed under a validated laminar flow and by trained
technical personnel.
[0031] In case of preparation of a product outside of the laminar flow, as usually happens
on hospitals around the world, the focus of concerns shall be exclusively over the
observation of aseptic techniques, with concerns over particle generation and accidents
due to puncturing previously eliminated.
[0032] Objectively, the "CAP ASSEMBLY HAVING HYPODERMIC SYRINGE COUPLING CONNECTION AND
OVERCAP FOR USE IN SEALING OF BOTTLES FILLED WITH PHARMACEUTICAL AND INJECTABLE MEDICINE
PRODUCTS", presented herein comprises the following general features:
as opposed to conventional rubber-made stoppers, it is manufactured in plastic polymer
(many types already validated for pharmaceutical use);
Includes a negative "luer" center terminal and an overcap with a center positive "luer";
Cap assembled with an overcap, connected between them in a manner that the overcap
is sealed to the cap through a plastic seal;
Cap and overcap featuring a safety area which enables handling without contamination
of the central surface;
When applied to a bottle containing a medicine product in need of reconstitution,
enables said procedure (reconstitution) to be performed with the syringe directly
attached to the cap and, consequently, directly attached to the bottle (ensuring maintenance
of sterility);
Immediately after the reconstitution, the product may be drawn into the syringe, transferred
to a diluent bag, or to a bag with a "luer" terminal (said bag referred on patent
application PI 1003460-9) in order to avoid using the needle again;
Allows easier fractioning of the dosage, without particle generation (no rubber to
be transfixed), solving a constant problem, especially in pediatrics;
Saves materials due to not using needles and, above all, substantially increasing
the speed of
the preparation process of injectable products; and
Eliminates the risk of accidents due to puncturing, as needles are no longer used.
[0033] The sealing method presented in this invention patent application, and conveyed in
the form of an innovative cap and its corresponding overcap, may be fully understood
through the detailed description to be done as per the figures listed below, in which:

to be used for sealing bottles with pharmaceutical or injectable medicine products
that must be submitted to a freeze-drying process; it is schematically demonstrated
in this figure the fact that the cap may be initially introduced in the top of the
bottleneck, up to a level in which the orifices for vapor release are left unobstructed;
figure 16 shows, also schematically, the stage according to which the bottle filled
with liquid product to be freeze-dried loses, through sublimation, the steam resulted
from its liquid state; in this condition the gases leave the bottle through the orifices
formed on the central portion of the cap, which become a quick outlet, such as indicated
by the "I" arrows;

[0034] According to what was shown in the aforementioned figures, the "CAP ASSEMBLY HAVING
HYPODERMIC SYRINGE COUPLING CONNECTION AND OVERCAP FOR USE IN SEALING OF BOTTLES FILLED
WITH PHARMACEUTICAL AND INJECTABLE MEDICINE PRODUCTS"., subject of this invention
patent application, features a main model of the cap presented herein, as may be seem
on figures 1 to 8 and indicated, as an assembly, by reference 100.
[0035] The cap assembly 100 includes a proper cap which is indicated by numerical reference
1, complemented by an overcap 2, being a plastic polymer component obtained through
molding by injection and formed by a disc-shaped section 3 which is complemented by
a surrounding vertical wall 4, the latter being covered, on the lower internal region,
by a thick inward curved border 5.
[0036] From the center of the circular face of the disc-shaped section 3, a tube connection
6 elaborated in the "luer" standard goes vertically upwards, having in its outer wall
an outer screw cap wire 7.
[0037] The periphery of the circular face of the disc-shaped section 3 of the cap 1 features
an outstanding upwards border 8 which ends in an acute edge 9, while the inner face
10 of the disc-shaped section 3 is supported by the bottleneck F1 of bottle F.
[0038] The cap assembly in its main version 100 also features an overcap 2, which, such
as verified regarding the cap 1, it is also manufactured in plastic polymer and through
molding by injection.
[0039] The overcap 2 presents a new disc format featuring a surrounding wall 11. dimensioned
in order to have, preferably, the same diameter as the cap 1.
[0040] The lower border of the surrounding wall 11 ends in an acute edge 12 identical to
edge 9 incorporated to cap 1.
[0041] The central and lower regions of the overcap 2 feature a tube projection 13, also
according to the "luer" standard and with an internal thread wire 13', which complements
and connects to the "luer" connection 6 through the thread wire 7, which is part of
the cap 1. The tube projection 13 features a cylindrical projection 13A centrally
and coaxially positioned, which enters the tube connection 6 of the cap 1.
[0042] The edges 9 and 12 of the cap 1 and overcap 2 are produced in order to face one another
and be joined together by a weld S, such as verified on figure 2A, with this weld
line S constituting the breakage region or line R to be effectively broken at the
moment of separation of the overcap 2 regarding the cap 1.
[0043] The main model 100 of the cap and overcap assembly presented herein may be assembled
in a generic bottle model F, as may be seen, initially, on figures 3 to 8, with this
assembly performed so that the botton face 10 of the cap 1 is in contact with the
upper border of the bottleneck F1 of bottle F, while the thick border bent inwards
5 establishes a locking condition with surrounding borders F2 of said bottle F, such
as depicted on figures 4, 6, 7 and 8.
[0044] The cap assembly 100, which constitutes the main cap model presented herein is conveyed
in order to allow the assembly against the bottle F by compression, with the retention
generated by the thick border bent inwards 5 of the cap 1 and the surrounding border
F2 of bottle F.
[0045] After filling the product within the bottle F, it is then closed by applying the
cap 1 (and overcap 2) over said bottle, which was submitted to previous welding of
edges 9 and 12 of the cap 1 and overcap 2, such as demonstrated on figure 2A, while
on the moment of opening bottle F, the overcap 2 must be rotated, as indicated by
the "A" arrows of figure 6, being simultaneously separated of cap 1, such as indicated
by arrow "B" of the same figure 6, an operation which required breaking the breakage
line R up to the established by the welding S of edges 9 and 12.
[0046] Upon removal of the overcap 2, the "luer" connection 6 of cap 1 allows for the occurrence
of the procedure shown on figure 7, where a SH hypodermic syringe is used to introduce,
directly to the bottle F, a given volume of liquid L for reconstitution of powdered
medicine product M stored in the bottle F.
[0047] Figure 7 shows the forward movement of the plunger SH1 of the syringe SH as the reconstitution
liquid L inside the syringe may be transferred to the bottle F, such as indicated
by the "E" arrows.
[0048] The connection between the syringe SH and the bottle F is possible precisely because
the SH syringe also features, conventionally, a connection of the same "luer" standard,
such as previewed on cap 1.
[0049] Figure 7 schematically shows the possibility of direct attachment between the hypodermic
syringe SH (not equipped with a needle) and the cap 1 of the assembly 100 mounted
near the bottle F.
[0050] The reconstitution of medicine product M such as showed on figure 7 is performed
with no parts of the cap 1 being penetrated by the needle of the hypodermic syringe
AH, which, such as commented before, has no needle.
[0051] Thus, the reconstitution operation takes place safety, quickly and with no particle
generation.
[0052] Figure 8, on the other hand, shows the subsequent stage described by figure 7 and
in which the reconstitution liquid L has already been properly homogenized to the
medicine product M stored in the bottle F; this figure shows the product (reconstituted
M medicine) being drawn into the hypodermic syringe SH, as may be seen by arrow "F"
which represents the retraction movement of the plunger SH1 of the SH syringe, and
also the "G" arrows indicating the flow direction of the reconstituted product (reconstituted
M medicine) flowing inside the SH syringe;
[0053] Upon transfer of the reconstituted M medicine to the hypodermic syringe SH, it may
then be manipulated as shown, for example, on figure 9, where it is schematically
demonstrated the possibility of direct attachment of the hypothermic syringe SH and
a bag B, such as the proposal on patent application
PI 1003460-9 of this same applicant.
[0054] Figure 9 serves to demonstrate the preparation dynamics of pharmaceutical substances
and/or injectable medicine products that were made viable, in previous stages, due
to employment of a cap assembly 100 (cap and overcap), proposed previously.
[0055] In the aforementioned figure 9 the "H" arrows represent the inlet flow of the reconstituted
product (reconstituted medicine product M) which is administered to the bag B through
its inlet door B1 which also features a "luer" terminal.
[0056] Optionally the cap presented herein also allows the possibility of direct attachment
to a bag B with "luer" standard in cases where the reconstitution and dilution of
the medicine product may be performed with the same diluent, which is correct to say
that in this case only one operation is performed, that is, reconstitution and dilution.
[0057] Figure 9A shows exactly the condition according to which a bag B of the type described
in the patent application
PI 1003460-9 may be directly attached, through its inlet door B1 which features a respective connection
in the "lue" standard, the "luer" connection of cap 1 mounted on a bottle F. Regarding
Figure 9A, the cap assembly shown is indicated by numerical reference 100, which does
not exclude the condition in which the same type of direct connection may be established
with any of the other versions of the cap assembly in question.
[0058] Figures 10. 11 and 12 show the cap assembly 100 presented herein in a condition in
which it is employed with bottles F that must store liquid medicine products, which
must be submitted to a freeze-drying process.
[0059] Among Figures 10, 11 e 12, figure 10 shows an initial stage, where the medicine product
M, still in its liquid phase, is already packed within bottle F and where said bottle
F is now equipped with a cap 1 still separated from its overcap 2.
[0060] Figure 11 schematically shows what occurs at the moment of the freeze-drying phase
itself, where the medicine product M loses, through sublimation (evaporation), its
liquid phase, such as indicated by arrows I, and the only the powdered form of the
medicine product M remains within the bottle.
[0061] Figure 12 shows the following stage regarding those demonstrated on figure 11, where
after the full evaporation of the liquid phase of the medicine product M inside the
bottle F, the cap 1 that closes the bottle F received an overcap 2, which is threaded
to the cap 1 through the "luer" terminals. The "J" arrows show the clockwise rotation
direction needed for the assembly of the overcap 2 with the cap 1, while the "K" arrow
indicates the direction of resulting approach between the overcap 2 and cap 1.
[0062] Figures 10, 11 and 12 seek to schematically show the fact that the cap assembly 100,
considering that the cap 1 and its overcap 2 might be initially separated, and subsequently
joined permanently by the weld S, is usable for providing sealing to bottles with
liquid medicine products M which must be submitted to freeze-drying processes.
[0063] Figure 13 shows a first variation of the cap presented herein, which, as an assembly,
is indicated by reference 110.
[0064] The assembly 110 of the cap presented herein and shown on figures 13, 14, 15, 16
and 17 is a version destined particularly for use in bottles F which shall be filled
with liquid medicine products that will be submitted to freeze-drying processes.
[0065] The assembly 110, differently from what was verified regarding the assembly 100 shown
on figures 10, 11 and 12, does not require its overcap 2 to be separated from the
cap 1 at the moment of the freeze-drying process.
[0066] On the assembly 110, the cap 1 has a central projection 14, which presents a slightly
conic lower end 15, while the upper portion of this central projection 14 incorporates
outlet openings 16 positioned equidistantly.
[0067] On the assembly 110 the overcap 2 does not differ from the model of assembly 100,
and the same occurs in fact regarding cap 1, being the only exception the provision
of the aforementioned central projection 14. The assembly 110 features the same basic
details regarding its cap 1 and overcap 2, which are found on the assembly 100.
[0068] The assembly 110, such as the one verified regarding assembly 100, has its cap 1
formed by a disc-shaped section 3, which is augmented by a surrounding vertical wall
4, the latter being covered, in its internal and lower region, by a thick edge bent
inwards 5.
[0069] From the center of the circular face of the disc-shaped section 3, a tube connection
6, elaborated in the "luer" standard goes vertically upwards, having in its outer
wall an outer screw cap wire 7, with this last detail particularly indicated on figure
14.
[0070] The periphery of the circular face of the disc-shaped section 3 of the cap 1 features
an outstanding upwards border 8 which ends in an acute edge 9, while the botton face
10 of the disc-shaped section 3 is supported by the bottleneck F1 of bottle. The aforementioned
details are also indicated particularly on figure 14.
[0071] The overcap 2 of assembly 110, such as verified regarding assembly 100, has a disc
format featuring a surrounding wall 11, dimensioned in order to have, preferably,
the same diameter as the cap 1.
[0072] The central and lower regions of the overcap 2 of assembly 110 feature a tube projection
13, also according to the "luer" standard 6 and with an internal thread wire 13",
which complements and connects to the "luer" connection 6 through the thread wire
7, which is part of the cap 1. The tube projection 13 features a cylindrical projection
13A centrally and coaxially positioned, which enters the tube connection 6 of the
cap 1.
[0073] Also regarding assembly 110, edges 9 and 12 of cap 1 and overcap 2 are expected,
which are produced so that they may be joined by a weld S and, when united, define
the breaking line R.
[0074] The central projection 14 of the assembly 110 makes all the difference, since it
enables said assembly to be preliminarily mounted on the bottle F, as shown on figure
15, in a condition which matches the outlet openings 16 placed above the upper border
of the bottleneck F1 of the bottle F.
[0075] This way, when the freeze-drying phase of the medicine product M itself takes place,
its liquid phase may evaporate and flow out of the bottle F through the outlet openings
16, as can be comprehended through observation of figure 16, as indicated by the "I"
arrows.
[0076] Upon conclusion of the freeze-drying process, the medicine product M, in powder state,
may be definitely closed within the bottle F through the lowering of the assembly
110, as shown on figure 17 and as indicated by the "K" arrow.
[0077] When lowered, under pressure, the assembly 110 establishes with the bottle F a condition
of retention regarding its cap 1, such as verified regarding the assembly 100, but
in such condition the outlet openings 16 are then obstructed by the bottleneck wall
F3 of the bottle F. When the assembly 110 is lowered, the thick border 5 of the cap
1 is then locked against the surrounding border F2 of the bottle F.
[0078] Figures 15, 16 and 17 demonstrate that the cap assembly 110 is complete since the
initial stage shown on figure 15, or in other words, the cap assembly 110 might have
its cap 1 and respective overcap 2 previously joined together permanently through
welding, being applied in this condition to the bottle F and maintaining such condition
even after the conclusion of its attachment to the bottle F, as specifically shown
on figure 17.
[0079] Figure 16 clearly and evidently shows the fact that the steam generated by sublimation
of the liquid phase of the medicine product M finds on the outlet openings 16 a quick
outlet option, such as indicated by the "I" arrows.
[0080] Figure 18 shows a second variation of the cap presented herein, which, as an assembly,
is indicated by reference 120 and presents a distinct setup regarding the overcap
2 and employs, as a strengthening resource for fixation of the cap 1 to the bottle
F, a re-sealing seal 17.
[0081] The overcap 2 of the cap assembly 120 differs from the overcap 2 used in assemblies
100 and 110 exclusively due to having a relatively lower diameter.
[0082] The reduction of diameters for overcap 2 aims to enable that the re-sealing seal
17, which may be manufactured in plastic, advances with its upper border 18 over the
upper wall of the disc-shaped section 3 of the cap 1.
[0083] The cap 1 of the assembly 120 differs from the model adopted for assemblies 100 and
110 due to the fact that its edge 9 has a disposition with reduced diameter in the
same diameter as the edge 12 of the overcap 2.
[0084] The use of the re-sealing seal 17 on the cap assembly 120 seeks to improve the connection
between cap 1 (and consequently also its overcap 2) with the bottle F (not showed
on Figures and 19), mainly due to the fact that the re-sealing seal 17 reinforces,
with its lower border 19, the role of the thick curved border 5 which integrates the
structure of the cap 1 over the border F2 of the bottle F. Excluding the re-sealing
seal 17, the assembly 120 features the same basic details regarding its cap 1 and
overcap 2 and which are also found on the assembly 100.
[0085] The cap 1 of the assembly 120 is formed by a disc-shaped section 3 which is complemented
by a surrounding vertical wall 4, the latter being covered in the lower region by
a thick curved edge 5, while from the center of the circular face of the disc-shaped
section 3, a tube connection 6 elaborated in the "luer" standard goes vertically upwards,
having in its outer wall an outer screw cap wire 7.
[0086] The periphery of the circular face of the disc-shaped section 3 of the cap 1 features
an outstanding upwards border 8 which ends in an acute edge 9, while the inner face
10 of the disc-shaped section 3 is upheld in the battlehead of the respective bottle.
[0087] The overcap 2 of assembly 120, such as verified regarding assembly 100, has a disc
format featuring a surrounding wall 11, dimensioned in order to have, as per already
explained, a smaller diameter than the one verified on cap 1.
[0088] The central and lower regions of the overcap 2 of assembly 120 feature a tube projection
13, also according to the "luer" standard 6 and with an internal outer screw cap wire
13', which complements and connects to the "luer" connection 6 through the outer screw
cap wire 7, which is part of the cap 1. The tube projection 13 features a cylindrical
projection 13A centrally and coaxially positioned, which enters the tube connection
6 of the cap 1.
[0089] Also regarding assembly 120, edges 9 and 12, when joined by welding S, define the
rupture line R.
[0090] Figure 20 shows a schematic sectional view of a third variation of the cap presented
herein, which is indicated, as an assembly, by reference 130.
[0091] The assembly 130 is basically a sub-variant of the assembly 100, differing from the
latter due to including a central projection 20 on its lower region, with said central
projection 20 having a slightly conic lower end 21, such as verified with the central
projection 14 used on the assembly 110.
[0092] The central projection 20 functions as a facilitating guide for fixation of the cap
1 to the top F1/bottleneck F2 of the bottle F (the bottle F is not specifically shown
on figure 20). The assembly 130 features the same basic details regarding the cap
1 and overcap 2, which are found on the assembly 100.
[0093] The cap 1 of the assembly 130 is formed by a disc-shaped section 3 which is complemented
by a surrounding vertical wall 4, the latter being covered in the lower region by
a thick inward curved border 5, while from the center of the circular face of the
disc-shaped section 3, a tube connection 6 elaborated in the "luer" standard goes
vertically upwards, having in its outer wall an outer screw cap wire 7.
[0094] The periphery of the circular face of the disc-shaped section 3 of the cap 1 features
an outstanding upwards border 8 which ends in an acute edge 9, while the inner face
10 of the disc-shaped section 3 is upheld in the bottlehead F1 of the bottle. The
acute edge 9, when joined by welding S to the edge 12 of overcap 2, defines, together,
the breaking line R.
[0095] The overcap 2 of assembly 130, such as verified regarding assembly 100, has a disc
format featuring a surrounding wall 11, dimensioned in order to have a diameter equal
to the one verified on cap 1.
[0096] The central and lower regions of the overcap 2 of assembly 130 feature a tube projection
13, also according to the "luer" standard and with an internal screw cap wire 13',
which complements and connects to the "luer" connection 6 through a screw cap wire
7, which is part of the cap 1. The tube projection 13 features a cylindrical projection
13A centrally and coaxially positioned, which enters the tube connection 6 of the
cap 1.
[0097] Figure 21 shows a fourth variation of the cap presented herein, which, as an assembly,
is indicated by reference 140. The cap assembly 140 includes a cap 1 and its respective
overcap 2, with the overcap 2 having the same diameter setup adopted by the cap 2
employed on the assembly 120, also adopting the re-sealing seal 17.
[0098] The cap 1 of the assembly 140 features a version of the central projection 20 adopted
on the assembly 130, and differs from it due to fact that it yet includes a surrounding
rib 22 placed on the outer region of the central projection 20 in order to provide
a sealed connection with a surrounding lower section, normally provided on the inner
region of the bottleneck F3 of the bottle F. The provision of a surrounding rib 22
on the central projection 20 has the function of increasing both the retaining conditions
of the cap 1 regarding the bottle F, through the attachment of said rib 22 against
one of the ring-shaped lower sections F4 provided on the inner wall of the bottleneck
F3, as well as hermetic sealing conditions between both. Figure 21A, which is an expanded
detailed and schematic section taken from figure 21 includes the representation of
the bottleneck section F3 of a typical bottle F and where the attachment between the
rib 22 of the projection 20 and the lower section F4 of the bottleneck F3 of the bottle
F may be viewed.
[0099] The assembly 140 features the same basic details regarding the cap 1 and overcap
2, which are found on the assembly 100.
[0100] The cap 1 of the assembly 140 is formed by a disc-shaped section 3 which is complemented
by a surrounding vertical wall 4, the latter being covered in the lower region by
a thick inward curved border 5, while from the center of the circular face of the
discshaped section 3, a tube connection 6 elaborated in the "luer" standard goes vertically
upwards, having in its outer wall an outer screw cap wire 7.
[0101] The periphery of the circular face of the disc-shaped section 3 of the cap 1 features
an outstanding upwards border 8 which ends in an acute edge 9, while the botton face
10 of the disc-shaped section 3 is upheld in the bottlehead F1 of the bottle.
[0102] The overcap 2 of assembly 140, such as verified regarding assembly 100, has a disc
format featuring a surrounding wall 11, dimensioned in order to have a smaller diameter
in relation to the one verified on cap 1.
[0103] The central and lower regions of the overcap 2 of assembly 140 feature a tube projection
13, also according to the "luer" standard and with an internal outer screw cap wire
13', which complements and connects to the "luer" connection 6 through the screw cap
wire 7, which is part of the cap 1. The tube projection 13 features a cylindrical
projection 13A centrally and coaxially positioned, which enters the tube connection
6 of the cap 1.
[0104] The acute edges 9 and 12, when joined by welding S to the edge 12 of overcap 2 define,
together, the breaking line R.
[0105] The figure 22 shows a fifth variant of the cap, object of this invention patent application,
which, as assembly, is indicated by the numeric reference 150. The assembly 150 derives
from the assembly 140 cap model and includes one central projection in the molds of
the one verified in the assembly 110 and that is indicated by the numeric reference
14, which is having one slightly conical bottom end 15, while the upper portion of
this central projection 14 incorporates through-holes 16 arranged in an equidistant
way. The central projection 14 still has one contouring rib 22, which has the function
of raising the retention condition of the cap 1 regarding the bottle F by coupling
the mentioned rib 22 against the ring recess F4 provided in the neck internal wall
F3 of the bottles F normally used, such that already showed regarding what is pictured
in the figure 21A. The assembly 150 shows the same basic details regarding its cap
1 and overcap 2 and the ones found in the assembly 100.
[0106] The assembly 150 cap 1 is formed by one disc-shaped section 3 that is complemented
by one vertical contouring wall 4, this latter being garnished downward by one thicken
and turned inward border 5, so from the center of the circular face of the disc-shaped
section 3, one tubular connection 6 elaborated in the "luer" standard goes vertically
upwards, having in its outer wall one outer screw cap wire 7.
[0107] The circular face periphery of the disc-shaped section 3 of the cap 1 shows one upwards
prominent border 8 ending in one sharp edge 9, while the underside 10 of the disc-shaped
section 3 is upheld in the bottlehead.
[0108] The assembly 150 overcap 2, such as the one verified regarding the assembly 100,
shows one disc shape having one contouring wall 11 sized to have one diameter measure
smaller than the one verified in the cap 1.
[0109] The central and bottom region of the assembly 150 overcap 2 shows one tubular projection
13 also in the "luer" standard and having one internal screw cap wire 13, which complements
and connects to the "luer" connection 6 through the screw cap wire 7 that is part
of the cap 1. The tubular projection 13 has one cylindrical projection 13A central
and coaxially positioned, which enters into the tubular connection 6 of the cap 1.
The assembly 150 é complemented by one re-sealing seal 17. The edges 9 and 12, when
joined by welding define, together, the breakage line R.
[0110] The figure 23 shows a sixth variant of the cap hereof, which, as assembly, is indicated
by the reference 160 and derives from the assembly 150 model pictured in the figure
22. The variant 160 includes one cap 1, which, around its "luer" connection 6, incorporates
one low and contouring wall 23 with smaller diameter having one outer contouring rib
24, against which to match one inner contouring rib 25 from one contouring wall 26
with higher diameter beginning from the overcap 2 underside.
[0111] The assembly 160 overcap 2 further maintains the cylindrical projection 13A beginning
from its center and that is sized to be inserted inside the "luer" connection 6 of
the cap 1.
[0112] The contouring walls 23 and 26 correspond to one alternative to ensure the overcap
2 assembling against the cap 1 without requiring using threads.
[0113] The assembly 160 cap 1 has one central projection 14, which has one slightly conical
bottom end 15, while the upper portion of this central projection 14 incorporates
through-holes 16 arranged equidistantly.
[0114] The assembly 160 shows the same basic details regarding its cap 1 and overcap 2 and
that are found in the assembly 100.
[0115] The assembly 160 cap 1 is formed by one disc-shaped section 3 that is complemented
by one vertical contouring wall 4, this latter being garnished downward by one thicken
and turned inward border 5.
[0116] The circular face periphery of the disc-shaped section 3 of the cap 1 shows one upwards
prominent border 8 ending in one sharp edge 9, while the underside 10 of the disc-shaped
section 3 is upheld in the bottlehead.
[0117] The assembly 160 overcap 2, such as the one verified regarding the assembly 100,
shows one disc shape having one contouring wall 11 sized to have one diameter measure
equal to the one verified in the cap 1.
[0118] In the case of the assembly 160 and such as the one verified in the preceding variants,
the edges 9 and 12, when joined by welding, define together, the breakage line R.
[0119] The figure 24 shows a seventh variant of the cap, object of this invention patent
application, which, as assembly, is indicated by the reference 170. The assembly 170
is one model variation of the assembly 160 cap, which differs from this last assembly
by including the central projection 20, serving as facilitating guide to attach the
cap, for use in bottles F for filled products that need to be subject to the freeze-drying
process. In the assembly 170, such as the one verified regarding the assembly 160,
the cap 1 has around its "luer" connection 6 one low and contouring wall 23 with smaller
diameter having one outer contouring rib 24, against which is to match one inner contouring
rib 25 from one contouring wall 26 with higher diameter and beginning from the underside
of the overcap 2. The assembly 170 cap 1 further maintains the cylindrical projection
13A beginning from its center and that is sized to be inserted inside the "luer" connection
6 of the cap 1.
[0120] The contouring walls 23 and 26 embedded in the cap 1 and overcap 2 of the assembly
170, such as the one verified regarding the assembly 160, correspond to one alternative
to ensure the overcap 2 assembling against the cap 1 without requiring the use of
threads.
[0121] The assembly 170 shows the same basic details regarding its cap 1 and overcap 2 and
that are found in the assembly 100.
[0122] The assembly 170 cap 1 is formed by one disc-shaped section 3 that is complemented
by one vertical contouring wall 4, this latter being garnished downward by one thicken
and turned inward border 5.
[0123] The circular face periphery of the disc-shaped section 3 of the cap 1 shows one upwards
prominent border 8 ending in one sharp edge 9, while the underside 10 of the disc-shaped
section 3 is upheld in the bottlehead.
[0124] The assembly 170 overcap 2, such as the one verified regarding the assembly 100,
shows one disc shape having one contouring wall 11 sized to have one diameter measure
equal to the one verified in the cap 1.
[0125] In the case of the assembly 170 and such as the one verified in the preceding variants,
the edges 9 and 12, when joined by welding, define together, the breakage line R.
[0126] The figure 25 shows an eighth variant of the cap, object of this invention patent
application, which, as assembly, is indicated by the numeric reference 180. The assembly
180 includes the cap 1 arrangement such as the one verified in the assembly 160, however
it links this arrangement to employ one re-sealing seal 17, the reason why the overcap
2 shows one arrangement with reduced diameter, such as the one verified, for example,
in the assembly 150.
[0127] The cap assembly 180 also includes one central projection 20, analogous to the one
verified in the assembly 140 pictured in the figure 21, being this central projection
20 having one contouring rib 22 equally. The attachment system of the overcap 2 against
the cap 1 follows the same solution adopted in the assemblies 160 and 170, where the
cap 1 has around its "luer" connection 6 one low and contouring wall 23 with smaller
diameter having one outer contouring rib 24, against which is to match one inner contouring
rib 25 from one contouring wall 26 with higher diameter and that, in the present case,
constitutes the outer wall 11 of the overcap 2. The assembly 180 cap 1 further maintains
the cylindrical projection 13A beginning from its center and that is sized to be inserted
inside the "luer" connection 6 of the cap 1.
[0128] The contouring walls 23 and 26 embedded in the cap 1 and overcap 2 of the assembly
180, such as the one verified regarding the assemblies 160 and 170, correspond to
one alternative to ensure the overcap 2 assembling against the cap 1 without requiring
the use of threads.
[0129] The assembly 180 shows the same basic details regarding its cap 1 and overcap 2 and
that are found in the assembly 100.
[0130] The assembly 180 cap 1 is formed by one disc-shaped section 3 that is complemented
by one vertical contouring wall 4, this latter being garnished downward by one thicken
and turned inward border 5.
[0131] The circular face periphery of the disc-shaped section 3 of the cap 1 shows one upwards
prominent border 8 ending in one sharp edge 9, while the underside 10 of the disc-shaped
section 3 is upheld in the bottlehead.
[0132] The assembly 180 overcap 2, such as the one verified regarding the assembly 100,
shows one disc shape having the contouring wall 11 already mentioned, but sized to
have one diameter measure smaller than the one verified in the cap 1. In the case
of the assembly 180 and such as the one verified in the preceding variants, the edges
9 and 12, when joined by welding, define together, the breakage line R.
[0133] The figures 26 and 27 show a ninth variant of the cap here proposed, which, as assembly,
is indicated by the reference 190 and links the assembly 180 cap 1 to one modality
of the overcap 2, which has one single discoid portion 27 that is held by the upper
border 18 of the re-sealing seal 17.
[0134] The assembly 190 overcap 2 shows one portion with smaller diameter 28, in the same
molds of the one verified, for example, in the assembly 180 pictured in the figure
25.
[0135] The assembly 190 re-sealing seal 17, besides the function of ensuring the attachment
of the cap 1 to the bottle, has also the function of joining the overcap 2 to the
cap body 1.
[0136] The assembly 190 cap 1 further maintains the cylindrical projection 13A beginning
from its center and that is sized to be inserted inside the "luer" connection 6 of
the cap 1.
[0137] The assembly 190 cap 1 is formed by one disc-shaped section 3 that is complemented
by one vertical contouring wall 4.
[0138] The assembly 190 overcap 2, such as the one verified regarding the assembly 100,
shows one disc shape having the contouring wall 11 already mentioned, but sized to
have one diameter measure smaller than the one verified in the cap 1.
[0139] The vertical contouring wall 4 of the assembly 190 cap 1 is garnished downward by
one thicken and turned inward border 5.
[0140] In the case of the assembly 190, and in a different way from the one verified in
the preceding variants, the rupture line R may be established at the overcap assembling
moment 2, such that the edges 9 and 12 are already produced in a totally linked way,
which means that the mentioned rupture line R is exclusively positioned in the overcap
2.
[0141] Consequently, the assembly 190 dismisses to adopt the welding procedure of the region
to join the edges 9 and 12 of the cap 1 and overcap 2, given that as upstanding component,
the overcap 2 is fixed to the cap 1 by the re-sealing seal 17 acting, such overcap
2 must be positioned over the cap 1 before performing the re-sealing seal 17 application.
