Description

APPAREIL DISTRIBUTEUR AUTOMATIQUE DE MEDICAMENTS AUTOMATIC DRUG DELIVERY APPARATUS
EN FORME DE GELULES DU DE PILULESIN THE FORM OF PILLS
AVEC AUTONOMIE HEBDOMADAIRE ET ALARME AUDITIVEWITH WEEKLY AUTONOMY AND HEARING ALARM
La présente invention concerne un appareil distributeur pour médicaments en forme de gélule ou de pilule.The present invention relates to a dispensing apparatus for drugs in the form of capsules or pills.
L'appareil est formé de deux éléments essentiels :The device is made up of two essential elements:
a) Une partie haute comportant un chargeur sans fond pouvant contenir des médi¬ caments, préalablement stockés et reposant sur le boîtier, permettant ainsi à ces médicaments de glisser au fur et à mesure de la rotation de l'appareil au niveau inférieur. b) Une partie basse, le socle ouvert d'un orifice égal à la surface du réceptacle supérieur Cet orifice désaxé permettant la restitution du traitement en temps voulu. La partie haute est surmontée d'une détection auditive sous forme de programmateur d'horaire. La partie haute étant totalement abritée par un couvercle transparent se bloquant sur le haut du socle afin de permettre toute manipulation.a) An upper part comprising a bottomless charger which may contain medi¬ caments, previously stored and resting on the casing, thus allowing these medicaments to slide as the device rotates to the lower level. b) A lower part, the open base of an orifice equal to the surface of the upper receptacle This offset orifice allowing the treatment to be returned in due time. The upper part is surmounted by an auditory detection in the form of a scheduler. The upper part is completely sheltered by a transparent cover locking on the top of the base to allow any manipulation.
Cet appareil trouve une application particulièrement importante, bien que non exclusive dans le domaine du contrôle de la prise de médicaments par un utilisateur.This device finds a particularly important application, although not exclusive in the field of controlling the intake of drugs by a user.
Mais elle connait aussi d'autres applications :But it also knows other applications:
- Eliminer pendant une semaine la lecture de l'ordonnance.- Eliminate for one week the reading of the prescription.
- Ne plus oublier la ou les prises des médicaments grâce à l'avertisseur sonore.- Do not forget the medication (s) anymore thanks to the audible warning.
- Diminuer le travail des Auxiliaires médicaux avec un chargement hebdomadaire- Reduce the work of medical auxiliaries with a weekly load
- Importance de l'appareil chez les Non Voyants.- Importance of the device among the Blind.
- Recevoir toutes formes de médicaments, sous réserve de ceux présentés sous forme pulvérulente.- Receive all forms of medication, subject to those presented in powder form.
- Pouvoir se déplacer sans l'ensemble des boîtes de médicaments.- Being able to move around without all of the medicine boxes.
L'appareil pouvant recevoir toute gamme de gélule et de pilule de taille variable.The device can accommodate any range of capsules and pills of varying size.
La pratique et la simplicité de l'appareil lui assure sa fiabilité.The practicality and simplicity of the device ensures its reliability.
Le couvercle chapotant le chargeur permet une utilisation en tout lieu y compris en voyage.The cover of the charger allows use anywhere, including travel.
La sonnerie permet l'utilisation de tous malades et le rappel de l'horaire.The bell allows the use of all patients and the reminder of the schedule.
La transparence permet de vérifier le bon fonctionnement des opérations. On connaît déjà (WO 90/05/684) un appareil distributeur de type ci-dessus défini. Cet appareil présente cependant des inconvénients. Il nécessite en effet un chargeur en forme de plaquette dans laquelle s'insèrent les médicaments en forme de pilules rigides, éjectables dudit support ou chargeur par pression.Transparency makes it possible to verify the proper functioning of operations. There is already known (WO 90/05/684) a dispensing device of the type defined above. This device has drawbacks, however. It in fact requires a charger in the form of a wafer into which the drugs in the form of rigid pills are inserted, ejectable from said support or charger by pressure.
Une telle conception n'autorise pas la distribution de médicaments moins rigides et/ou l'utilisation d'un même chargeur pour distribuer des médicaments de forme sensiblement différente.Such a design does not allow the distribution of less rigid drugs and / or the use of the same charger to dispense drugs of substantially different shape.
On connaît aussi (FR 9200958) un appareil distributeur de même type. L'inconvénient majeur de cet appareil vient du fait que le malade est au service de l'appareil et non l'appareil au service du malade. Chaque cavité renfermant une seule gélule, afin de prendre la totalité de la médication il est donc nécessaire de patienter pour que les prochaines gélules échoient de l'habitacle dans le réceptacle.Also known (FR 9200958) is a dispensing device of the same type. The major drawback of this device comes from the fact that the patient is in the service of the device and not the device in the service of the patient. Each cavity containing a single capsule, in order to take all of the medication, it is therefore necessary to wait for the next capsules to emerge from the passenger compartment into the receptacle.
Si le malade oublie la prise, le réceptacle chargé ne permet plus le dépôt du prochain médicament.If the patient forgets to take it, the loaded receptacle no longer allows the next medication to be deposited.
Il existe également un brevet U.S.A. n* 46744651 qui se distingue par le fait qu'il ne comporte que 24 cases correspondant à 24 heures dans la journée.There is also a US patent No. 46744651 which is distinguished by the fact that he has only 24 boxes for 24 hours in the day.
Il est donc journalier seulement et se diffère du brevet présenté par le fait notamment qu'il ne possède pas de système de débrayage pour la mise à l'heure et au jour.It is therefore only daily and differs from the patent presented by the fact in particular that it does not have a declutching system for setting the time and the day.
D'une maniabilité moins performante, son système de clavettes sélectionne les heures mais rend le fonctionnement complexe et peu fiable.With a less efficient handling, its key system selects the hours but makes the operation complex and unreliable.
De plus, il ne peut se transporter aisément.In addition, it cannot be transported easily.
Il existe entre ce pilulier et le pilulier présenté la même idée de base mais la conception et les principes d'application et de fonctionnement sont radicalement différents.There is between this pillbox and the pillbox presented the same basic idea but the design and the principles of application and operation are radically different.
On connaît aussi le brevet EPA n* 0172638 : La seule comparaison possible vient de la fermeture des godets. Le système de fermeture se retrouve effectivement dans les deux brevets mais il est présent aussi dans toutes les fermetures de boîtes en plastique. Ce n'est pas une innovation mais la solution la plus pratique et la plus fréquemment employée pour fermer une boîte en plastique.EPA patent no . 0172638 is also known: The only possible comparison comes from the closing of the buckets. The closure system is effectively found in both patents, but it is also present in all closures of plastic boxes. This is not an innovation but the most practical and frequently used solution for closing a plastic box.
La présente invention vise à fournir un appareil répondant mieux aux exigences du malade, tout en allégeant le travail des Auxiliaires médicaux.The present invention aims to provide a device that better meets the requirements of the patient, while reducing the work of medical auxiliaries.
L'utilisation de l'appareil par sa simplicité permet de toucher un échantillonnage de la population sans limite.The use of the device by its simplicity allows to touch a sampling of the population without limit.
