Patent

CA 2570168

A substantially moisture-proof, airtight dispenser (20) for both storing and dispensing several flattened articles such as diagnostic test strips (30). The inventive dispenser (20) includes a novel pivotable housing (22,24) that a user need merely grab and squeeze to eject a test strip (30). Independent movement of the user's fingers to push a button or turn a knob is unnecessary to dispense a strip, which makes the present invention well suited for diabetics suffering from nerve damage in their extremities and other complications resulting from the disease. The invention includes a novel flexible arm member (94) and pusher head (136) that engage and push an article from the dispenser as the two parts of the housing are pivoted together. The articles are dispensed through an exit that is configured with a novel flexible seal (42) that maintains the dispenser substantially airtight. Several inventive seal embodiments and methods of making the same are disclosed.

L~invention porte sur un distributeur étanche sensiblement à l~épreuve de l~humidité (20) à la fois pour ranger et distribuer plusieurs articles aplatis comme des bandelettes de diagnostic (30). Le distributeur de l~invention (20) comporte un logement pivotant novateur (22,24) que l~utilisateur n~aura qu~à saisir et pincer pour éjecter une bandelette (30). Le mouvement indépendant des doigts de l~utilisateur pour appuyer sur un bouton ou tourner un bouton est superflu pour sortir une bandelette, ce qui rend la présente invention idéale pour les diabétiques souffrant de problèmes de terminaisons nerveuses et d~autres complications liées à la maladie. L~invention comporte un élément de bras flexible novateur (94) et une tête poussoir novatrice (136) qui s~engagent et repoussent un article du distributeur lorsque les deux parties du logement pivotent en même temps. Les articles sont distribués à travers une sortie configurée avec un joint flexible novateur (42) qui maintient le distributeur sensiblement hermétique. Plusieurs modes de réalisation du joint de l~invention et procédés de fabrication dudit joint sont divulgués.
