English Abstract


It can be very difficult to extract all of the liquid medication from a bottle
with a flat top,
using a hypodermic syringe with a needle for giving vaccinations as the liquid
remains
flat and even. The interior of the cone-shaped bottle insert is cone-shaped to
allow the
liquid to flow downward into the smaller pointed end, reducing the surface
area of the
liquid. This allows for the liquid to be fully and easily extracted. The cone-
shaped bottle
insert will eliminate the current and wasteful problem of not being able to
extract all of
the liquid from the bottle. The cone-shaped bottle insert can also be used for
extracting
liquid oral medications, using an oral syringe, without a needle, by adding a
hole at the
smaller pointed end.


French Abstract

Lextraction de la totalité du médicament liquide que contient une bouteille ayant un sommet plan au moyen dune seringue hypodermique équipée dune aiguille adaptée pour la vaccination présente un défi important, car le liquide reste plat et au niveau. La forme conique de la partie intérieure de la pièce accessoire conique pour bouteille permet au liquide de sécouler vers le bas dans la plus petite extrémité rétrécie, ce qui réduit la surface de contact du liquide. Cette méthode permet dextraire facilement la totalité du liquide. La pièce accessoire conique pour bouteille élimine le problème de gaspillage actuel qui découle de lincapacité à extraire la totalité du liquide que contient une bouteille. Si on y ajoute une ouverture du côté de son extrémité rétrécie, la pièce accessoire conique pour bouteille peut également servir aux fins dextraction de médicaments liquides administrés par voie orale au moyen dune seringue orale sans aiguille.

Claims

Note: Claims are shown in the official language in which they were submitted.


CLAIMS
1. A cone-shaped bottle insert to allow for more efficient and easy
extraction of liquid
medication from a bottle using a hypodermic syringe with a needle or an oral
syringe
comprising:
an insert sized and shaped to fit into a neck of the bottle without extending
past
the neck of the bottle into a body of the bottle, the insert comprising:
a cone-shaped interior surface forming an opening having a wide end
adjacent a first end of the insert, and a pointed end adjacent a second end of
the
insert, wherein the wide end of the opening has an outer edge that is tapered
to a
point at the insert first end;
wherein upon insertion of the insert into the bottle neck, the wide end of the
opening faces an interior of the bottle, causing any liquid medication in the
bottle to flow
to the pointed end of the opening when the bottle is upside down.
2. The cone-shaped bottle insert of claim 1, wherein the cone-shaped
interior surface
tapers smoothly from the wide end to the pointed end.
3. The cone-shaped bottle insert of claim 1 or 2, wherein the insert
further comprises
a hole between the pointed end of the opening and the second end for receiving
the oral
syringe.
4. An assembly to allow for more efficient and easy extraction of liquid
medication
using a hypodermic syringe with a needle or an oral syringe comprising:
a bottle having a neck and a body; and
a cone-shaped bottle insert in the bottle neck that doesn't extend past the
neck of
the bottle into the body of the bottle, the insert comprising a cone-shaped
interior surface
forming an opening having a wide end and a pointed end, the wide end adjacent
a first
end of the insert that faces an interior of the bottle, and the pointed end
adjacent a

second end of the insert, wherein the wide end of the opening has an outer
edge that is
tapered to a point at the insert first end, such that any liquid medication in
the bottle
flows to the pointed end of the opening when the bottle is upside down.
5. The assembly of claim 4, wherein an outer wall of the insert is aligned
with an
inner wall of the bottle neck.
6. The assembly of claim 4 or 5, wherein the cone-shaped interior surface
tapers
smoothly from the wide end to the pointed end.
7. The assembly of any one of claims 4-6, wherein the insert further
comprises a hole
between the pointed end of the opening and the second end for receiving the
oral
syringe.

Cone-Shaped Bottle Insert to Fully Extract Liquid
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The invention relates to a cone-shaped bottle insert for a more
efficient extraction
of liquid medications using a hypodermic syringe with a needle, for use in
vaccinations.
BACKGROUND
[0002] With the current flat top, it is very difficult to extract the last
remaining liquid
contents of a bottle using a hypodermic syringe, with a needle, as the liquid
remains flat
and even.
SUMMARY
[0003] The interior of the cone-shaped bottle insert is cone-shaped to allow
the liquid to
flow downward into the smaller pointed end. This allows for the liquid to be
fully and
easily extracted, eliminating the wasteful practice of not being able to empty
the bottle.
[0004] The cone-shaped bottle insert can also be used for extracting liquid
oral
medication using an oral syringe without a needle.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
[0005] In the drawing which illustrates the embodiment of the invention:
[0006] Figure 1 shows a cross-sectional view of a bottle with a cone-shaped
bottle insert
in position for extracting liquid.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0007] Figure 1 shows a bottle 1 in position for extracting liquid with a
hypodermic
syringe with a needle having an airspace 2 at the top, liquid contents 3 in
the bottle 1, a
bottle neck 4 and the cone-shaped bottle insert 5. The cone-shaped bottle
insert 5 has a
- 1 -
Date Recue/Date Received 2022-11-21

first end 8, a second end 9, and an opening with a wide end 6 and a pointed
end 7 that
forms the cone shape.
[0008] Description of the best way of using the cone-shaped bottle insert
[0009] The cone-shaped bottle insert 5 fits into the neck 4 of a bottle. When
the bottle is
in position for extracting liquid (upside down) the liquid flows downward into
the cone-
shaped insert. This allows for a more fully and easier extraction of liquid
medications
using a hypodermic syringe, with a needle for use in vaccinations.
[0010] The cone-shaped bottle insert can also be used for extracting liquid
oral
medications, using an oral syringe without a needle, by adding a hole at the
smaller
pointed end.
[0011] The cone-shaped bottle insert would also be useful for extracting any
liquid
solution or product using a hypodermic syringe with a needle, for use in
giving injections.
[0012] The cone-shaped bottle insert can be used with the current metal ring
seal and
cap, using bottles that require extraction of the liquid with a hypodermic
syringe and
needle.
[0013] The cone-shaped bottle insert could also be used with liquid solution
bags
containing fluids for intravenous or injection use that require a hypodermic
syringe and
needle to extract the fluid.
