Patented Jan. 30, 1934 PATENT OFFICE CONTAINER FOR HYPODERMIC SOLUTIONS AND OTHER MEDICINAL PREPARATIONS Everett Gifford Upjohn, Kalamazoo, Mich., as-
signor to The Upjohn Company, Kalamazoo,
Mich.
Application April 11, 1932.
Serial No. 604,413
4 Claims. (Cl. 215-12) The objects of this invention are:
First, to provide a container for hypodermic solution and other medicinal preparations that is especially adapted for shipping and handling without breakage.
Second, to provide such a container in which closure means can be conveniently kept in a sterilized condition and free from contamination.
Third, to provide such a container in which the solution is kept away from the atmosphere and is shielded from light.
Fourth, to provide such a container with a suitable base for use on bedside tables or desks.
Fifth, to provide such a container that is cheap in construction and can be sold by manufacturers without material increase in the price of the product. I
Further objects and advantages pertaining to details and economies of construction and operation will appear from the description to follow. A preferred embodiment of my invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawing, in which:
Fig. 1 is an elevation view showing the container with the casing partially broken away.
Fig. 2 is an elevation view partly in section showing the inner container and stopper.
Fig. 3 is a perspective view of the casing.
Fig. 4 is a perspective view of the holder.
The parts will be identified by their numerals of reference which are the same in all the views.
1 represents a bottle or container, preferably of glass, although any material suitable for holding the hypodermic solution or other medicinal preparation may be employed. The opening 2 of the bottle is provided with a stopper 3. The stopper illustrated is of rubber but it may be of any resilient material or material that can be easily pierced by a hypodermic needle that it is desired to fill and which will return to its original form to seal the container when the needle is withdrawn. The stopper here illustrated comprises an annular wall 4 and a closure Web 5 spaced from both ends of the wall, but may be of any desired form depending upon the preparation in the container and may have an applicator thereon in some instances. The stopper illustrated is especially adapted for use with hypodermic solutions and the web is of a. thickness that can be easily pierced by the hypodermic needle and will at the same time eflectively seal the container when the needle is withdrawn. The stopper illustrated is provided with a flange 6 to prevent insertion too far in the bottle, but
this is a feature that can be omitted if desired.
A bottle holder is represented at '7. The holder here illustrated is made from a single piece of thin sheet metal that is either drawn or stamped from the original stock. The holder may be con- 63 structed, however, in any desired manner. The bottom portion 8 of the holder is fiat so that the holder may be used as a base to hold the bottle in an upright position when it is placed upon a bedside table or desk. The holder is knurled on its periphery as at 9 and has an annular flange 10 adapted to receive the bottle 1. The flange 10 is provided with a plurality of struck up spring tongues 12 adapted to engage the bottle 1 and hold it within the holder.
A tubular casing 13 with knurled side walls 14 and closed end 15 is provided to cover the bottle. Internal screw threads 16 adapted to engage the screw threads 11 on the holder are provided at the open end of the casing.
The casing here illustrated is composed of thin sheet metal drawn or stamped, although any suitable, light, opaque material, resistant to moisture, could be employed for this purpose. The screw threads are illustrated as pressed in the container but can be produced in any desired manner.
An absorbent pad 17 of cotton or like material may be provided in the closed end of the casing 13. This pad may be saturated or moistened with an antiseptic solution such as alcohol and is arranged to contact with the stopper 3 when the casing and holder are in place, and to thus keep the stopper in a sterilized condition.
The use of this container embodies the advantage of holding the glass or other breakable container solidly in position where it is protected from breakage by the casing 13, and dirt and light are kept from the solution and the bottle. The use of the bottle makes it possible for a manufacturer to make the hypodermic or other solutions and bottle it under proper conditions while it is easily accessible to the user who can insert the hypodermic needle through the web 5 without exposing the contents of the container to the atmosphere. The sanitary pad 17 keeps the stopper in a sterilized condition at all times. This well also facilitates the use of the container by acting as a guide for the needle so that the user of the container will not attempt to insert the needle through a very thick portion of the stopper rather than the thinner web.
I have illustrated and described my improved container in the form preferred by me, but desire to claim the same specifically as well as broadly, as pointed out in the appended claims.
Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent is:
1. A container for medicinal preparations comprising a receptacle for said preparations, 9, stopper therefor, a holder for said receptacle formed from a single piece of thin sheet metal and having a flat base, a knurled periphery, external screw threads pressed therein above the knurling and an annular flange having struck-up spring tongues adapted to receive and hold said receptacle, a tubular casing of sheet metal having an externally knurled wall with one closed end and screw threads pressed in the other end and adapted to engage said first mentioned screw threads, and an absorbent pad carrying antiseptie in the closed endof said casing and adapted to press against said stopper when the receptacle is in said holder and said casing and said holder are in engagement.
2. A container for medicinal preparations comprising a receptacle for said preparations, a stopper therefor, a holder for said receptacle formed from a single piece of thin sheet metal and having a flat base, a knurled periphery, external screw threads pressed therein above the knurling and an annular flange having struck-up spring tongues adapted to receive and hold said receptacle, a tubular casing of sheet metal having an externally knurled wall with one closed end and screw threads pressed in the other end and adaptpressed therein, above the knurling and an annular flange having struck-up spring tongues adapted to receive and hold a receptacle, a tubular casing of sheet metal having an externally knurled wall with one closed end and screw threads pressed in the other end and adapted to engage said first mentioned screw threads, and a pad in said casing.
4. A container for hypodermic solution comprising a receptacle for said solution, a stopper therefor having a resilient closure web, a sheet metal holder for said receptacle, having a flat base, a knurled periphery, \screw threads in said holder above the knurling, and an annular flange having struck-up spring tongues adapted to receive and hold said receptacle, a tubular casing of sheet metal having an externally knurled wall with one closedend and screw threads in the other end and adapted to engage said first mentioned screw threads, and an absorbent pad adapted to carry antiseptic in the closed end of said casingand adapted to press against said stopper when the receptacle is in said holder and said casing and said holder are in engagement.
