Fluid unit dispensing device

Claim 1

As an article of manufacture a sealed, flexible unit dosage dispensing device containing a fluid product, said device comprising a squeezable hollow bulb portion and a generally hollow cylindrical nozzle portion communicating internally with said hollow bulb portion and provided with a nozzle orifice; the internal diameter of said nozzle portion being no smaller than 0.120 inches, the length of said nozzle portion being 15/8 inches thereby being sufficient to reach at about least, and substantially no further than about the area of the rectal columns when inserted into the anal canal of a subject; the largest diameter of said hollow bulb portion being 0.750 inches thereby being sufficiently large to serve as a stop to prevent the insertion of the device too deeply into the anal canal; the terminal portion of said nozzle portion being rounded off to provide a smooth surface that extends down into the nozzle orifice; said dispenser being provided with a break-off tab to seal the terminal end of said nozzle, said tab being adapted to be removed from said nozzle to expose a terminal nozzle orifice whereby the contents of said dispenser can be dispensed through said orifice by squeezing said bulb portion; said break-off tab being provided with a step extending downwardly from the undersurface of said break-off tab, the outside diameter of said step being such that it fits into the terminal end of said nozzle portion; said step being joined to said nozzle inside said nozzle orifice whereby when said break-off tab is removed from said nozzle by a twisting motion, the roughened fracture line is within the nozzle orifice and out of any position which might tend to irritate the tissue when the dispenser is inserted into the anal canal.
