Squeeze type device for dispensing liquid medicaments or the like to a bodily organ

Claim 1

A squeeze type device for dispensing a liquid to a bodily organ, comprising: a resilient container for the liquid having a closed bottom end and an open neck; a cap engaged with the neck for closing the container and including an adapter for being in intimate contact with the organ, said adapter having an opening through which the liquid is dispensed upon the resilient container being squeezed; a valve member supported within the cap and communicating with the adapter opening; a tube communicating with the valve member and extending into the container through the liquid, and having an end near the bottom of the container: the valve member including an aperture and means for blocking said aperture when the container is in the substantially upright position, with the liquid thereupon flowing through the tube and the valve member and through the adapter for being dispensed to the organ when the container is squeezed; the aperture blocking means being gravity actuated when the container is tilted beyond a predetermined angle, whereupon the liquid flows beyoNd the end of the tube near the bottom of the container, for unblocking the aperture, with the liquid flowing through said aperture into the valve member and through said valve member and adapter opening for being dispensed to the organ when the container is squeezed; a tubular member near the bottom of the adapter and communicating therewith, and extending substantially normal thereto; and a substantially right angular drain tube communicating with the tubular member and rotatable about said member for draining residual liquid from the adapter independent of the position of the container.
