Fluid dispensing device
Abstract
A dispensing device may be used to dispense fluids for a variety of uses. A dispensing device may include a flexible tube body with a nozzle coupled to a first end of the flexible tube body. A closure location may be coupled to a second end of the flexible tube body. At least one seal may be coupled to the flexible tube body at a location between the nozzle and the closure location. The at least one seal separates the flexible tube body into a plurality of chambers when the at least one seal is sealed. Additionally, a plunger may be placed in the flexible tube body and may fit in the chambers.
Claims
exact text as granted — not AI-modified1 . A dispensing device comprising:
a body having a substantially hollow interior; an exit opening coupled to said body; at least one seal coupled to said body; and wherein said at least one seal is closeable.
2 . The dispensing device of claim 1 , further comprising at least two seals, wherein said at least two seals are spaced along the body.
3 . The dispensing device of claim 1 , wherein said body contains a fluid.
4 . The dispensing device of claim 3 , wherein closing said at least one seal maintains internal pressure in said body after a portion of said fluid has been dispensed.
5 . The dispensing device of claim 4 , wherein said at least one seal remains closed when external pressure is applied to a portion of said body containing said fluid.
6 . The dispensing device of claim 3 , wherein a first seal of said at least one seal is closed after a first portion of said fluid has been dispensed from said dispensing device; and a second seal of said at least one seal is closed after a second portion of said fluid has been dispensed from said dispensing device.
7 . The dispensing device of claim 1 , further comprising a plunger within said body.
8 . A dispensing device comprising:
a flexible tube body; a nozzle coupled to a first end of said flexible tube body; a closure location coupled to a second end of said flexible tube body; at least one seal coupled to said flexible tube body at a location between said nozzle and said closure location; and wherein said at least one seal separates said flexible tube body into a plurality of chambers when said at least one seal is closed.
9 . The dispensing device of claim 8 , wherein said at least one seal is coupled to said tube body at a location wherein said plurality of chambers each contain a predetermined amount of a fluid.
10 . The dispensing device of claim 8 , further comprising a plunger in said flexible tube body.
11 . The dispensing device of claim 8 , wherein said at least one seal may be opened by pulling said at least one seal apart from a side of said at least one seal adjacent to said second end of said tube body.
12 . The dispensing device of claim 8 , wherein said at least one seal is closed by applying external pressure to said at least one seal.
13 . The dispensing device of claim 8 , wherein said at least one seal is transverse to said flexible tube body.
14 . The dispensing device of claim 8 , wherein said at least one seal is a resealable seal and is parallel to said flexible tube body.
15 . The dispensing device of claim 14 , wherein said flexible tube body contains at least two substances and wherein at least one seal separates the at least two fluids.
16 . The dispensing device of claim 15 , wherein said at least one seal is opened and said at least two substances are mixed prior to dispensing.
17 . A dispensing device comprising:
a flexible hollow body having a proximal end and a distal end; an exit opening coupled to said proximal end of said flexible hollow body; a closure location coupled to said distal end of said flexible hollow body; at least one seal coupled to said flexible hollow body at a location between said proximal end and said distal end; and a plunger in said flexible hollow body.
18 . The dispensing device of claim 17 , wherein said at least one seal is a resealable seal.
19 . The dispensing device of claim 17 , further comprising a plurality of seals with spaces between each seal and wherein said plunger fits in said spaces.
20 . The dispensing device of claim 17 , further comprising a closure coupled to said flexible hollow body at said closure location.Join the waitlist — get patent alerts
