Claim 1
Independent Claim
171 words
A laminated arrangement useful for manufacturing a delivery device for delivering a beneficial agent formulation to an animal, wherein the laminated arrangement comprises: first lamina means for absorbing heat from the animal for forming a dispensable formulation, said first lamina means comprising a beneficial agent formulation that produces a beneficial effect when dispensed to an animal, which first lamina means is in laminar arrangement with a second lamina means, said second lamina having means for lessening unwanted migration of beneficial agent from the first lamina means, said second lamina means exhibiting a lower passage to the beneficial agent then the first lamina means there by lessening migration from the first lamina means into the second lamina means, and wherein when the laminated arrangement is in a delivery device in operation, which delivery device comprises means for producing an expandable force for assisting in operating the delivery device, the first lamina and the second lamina operate as a cooperating means for increasing the delivery of the beneficial agent from the delivery device.

Claim 3
Dependent Claim
153 words
A laminated arrangement useful for manufacturing a delivery device for delivering a beneficial agent formulation to a animal, wherein the laminated arrangement comprises: a first lamina means for absorbing fluid from the animal for increasing the size of the first lamina means 2 to 50 fold, thereby producing an expanding force that is applied against a beneficial agent formulation present in the delivery device for dispensing the formulation from the delivery device, and a second lamina means in laminar arrangement with the first lamina means, said second lamina means for directing the expanding force received from the first lamina means against a beneficial agent formulation present in the delivery device for aiding in the delivery of a beneficial agent formulation from the dispensing device, and which second lamina exhibits a decrease passage to the beneficial agent and acts with the first lamina for increasing the delivery of the beneficial agent from the dispenser.
