[0041] Referring to FIGS. 1 to 4, the opener (1) will be described.

[0042] The opener (1) can be used to open the ampoule (A) by coming into contact with the ampoule (A). The opener (1) can grip the ampoule head (AH) of the ampoule (A). If a moment is applied to the opener (1) or the ampoule (A) while the ampoule head (AH) is gripped by the opener (1), a part of the ampoule (A) may be broken, causing the ampoule (A) to be opened.

[0043] By opening the ampoule (A) using the opener (1), ampoules (A) of various sizes can be opened, and the ampoule (A) can be opened safely. Furthermore, the opener (1) can be easily carried around.

[0044] A drug can be contained within the ampoule (A). The drug can be contained within the ampoule (A) and sealed. As the ampoule (A) is sealed, the drug contained within the ampoule (A) can be protected from contamination by external foreign substances.

[0045] The ampoule (A) may be made of glass. As the ampoule (A) is made of glass, the drug placed inside the ampoule (A) can be protected from the outside.

[0046] The volume inside the ampoule (A) can vary. The volume inside the ampoule (A) can be from 1 milliliter (mL) to 100 milliliters (mL). In one embodiment, the volume inside the ampoule (A) can be from 1 milliliter to 10 milliliters.

[0047] The cross-section of the ampoule (A) perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the ampoule (A) may be approximately circular. Depending on the position of the ampoule (A), the diameter of the ampoule (A) perpendicular to the longitudinal direction may vary.

[0048] The ampoule (A) may include an ampoule body (AB), an ampoule head (AH), and an ampoule connection (AN).

[0049] The ampoule body part (AB) can be arranged at the bottom of the ampoule (A), the ampoule connection part (AN) can be arranged at the upper side of the ampoule body part (AB), and the ampoule head part (AH) can be arranged at the upper side of the ampoule body part (AB). The ampoule body part (AB), the ampoule head part (AH), and the ampoule connection part (AN) can be connected to each other.

[0050] Typically, the ampoule connection (AN) may be damaged, causing the ampoule (A) to be opened. The diameter of the ampoule connection (AN) may be set to be smaller than the diameter of the ampoule body (AB) and the diameter of the ampoule head (AH). The diameter of the ampoule connection (AN) being set to be smaller than the diameter of the ampoule body (AB) and the diameter of the ampoule head (AH) is one embodiment of various embodiments of the present invention, and the shape of the ampoule (A) is not limited thereto.

[0051] The opener (1) can open the ampoule (A). According to one embodiment, the opener (1) can open the ampoule (A) by contacting the ampoule head (AH) of the ampoule (A) and breaking the ampoule connection (AN).

[0052] Below, the detailed structure of the opener (1) is described.

[0053] The opener (1) may include a grip portion (10) and a fastening ring (20).

[0054] The ampoule (A) can be gripped by the gripping part (10), and the contact force between the gripping part (10) and the ampoule (A) can be improved by the fastening ring (20). Accordingly, the force used to grip the ampoule (A) using the gripping part (10) can be reduced, and the force can be concentrated on the task of opening the ampoule (A).

[0055] The gripping portion (10) may include an elastic material. According to one embodiment, the gripping portion (10) may include a plastic, polylatic acid (PLA). Accordingly, the gripping portion (10) may be elastically deformed by an external force.

[0056] The phage section (10) may include a first phage body (101), a second phage body (102), and a phage body connection section (103).

[0057] One end of the first phage body (101) and one end of the second phage body (102) can be connected to each other, and the connected portion can be defined as a phage body connection portion (103).

[0058] The first phage body (101) and the second phage body (102) can be connected at the phage body connection portion (103), and the distance between the other end of the first phage body (101) and the other end of the second phage body (102) can be changed. That is, the phage portion (10) can be provided in a forceps shape.

[0059] When no external force is applied to the gripping part (10), the other end of the first gripping body (101) and the other end of the second gripping body (102) can be arranged to be spaced apart from each other. When an external force is applied to the gripping part (10), the distance between the other end of the first gripping body (101) and the other end of the second gripping body (102) can become closer, and when the external force is removed, the other end of the first gripping body (101) and the other end of the second gripping body (102) can become spaced apart again.

[0060] The grip part (10) may include a detachment prevention pin (110), a grip body penetration hole (120), a grip body wet part (130), a grip body fastening part (140), and a grip contact part (150). The grip part (10) may further include a protective member (160).

[0061] The anti-separation pin (110), the phage body penetration hole (120), the phage body wetted part (130), the phage body fastening part (140), the phage contact part (150), and the protective member (160) described below can be arranged in the first phage body (101) and the second phage body (102).

[0062] The anti-separation pin (110) may be provided as a pin protruding from the first grip body (101) and the second grip body (102). As the anti-separation pin (110) is formed to protrude from the first grip body (101) and the second grip body (102), the fastening ring (20) can be prevented from being separated from the grip portion (10) through the grip body connecting portion (103). The height of the anti-separation pin (110) may vary depending on the size of the fastening ring hole (201) penetrating the fastening ring (20).

[0063] When no external force is applied to the grip section (10), the other end of the first grip body (101) and the other end of the second grip body (102) are arranged to be spaced apart from each other, so that the fastening ring (20) can be prevented from being separated from the grip section (10) through the other end of the first grip body (101) and the other end of the second grip body (102). The distance at which the other end of the first grip body (101) and the other end of the second grip body (102) are spaced apart from each other may vary depending on the design.

[0064] In this way, the portability of the opener (1) can be improved as the fastening ring (20) is prevented from coming off from the grip part (10).

[0065] The phage body penetration hole (120) may be provided as a hole penetrating the first phage body (101) and the second phage body (102). According to one embodiment, the phage body penetration hole (120) may be arranged in the phage body connecting portion (103).

[0066] A rope (R) may be arranged to pass through the phage body penetration hole (120). The rope (R) may be formed as a closed curve. The user may wear the opener (1) in a necklace-like manner via the rope (R). Accordingly, the portability of the opener (1) may be improved.

[0067] The phage body wet part (130) can be arranged between one end and the other end of the first phage body (101) and between one end and the other end of the second phage body (102). The phage body wet part (130) can come into contact with the fastening ring (20), and the fastening ring (20) can adjust the distance between the other end of the first phage body (101) and the other end of the second phage body (102) while moving along the phage body wet part (130). Accordingly, the phage body (10) can grip ampoules (A) of various sizes.

[0068] When gripping a large-sized ampoule (A) through the gripping part (10), the fastening ring (20) can be placed relatively close to the gripping body connection part (103). When gripping a small-sized ampoule (A) through the gripping part (10), the fastening ring (20) can be placed relatively far from the gripping body connection part (103). Accordingly, the distance between the other end of the first gripping body (101) and the other end of the second gripping body (102) can be adjusted.

[0069] A concave grooved phage body fastening portion (140) may be disposed on the first phage body (101) and the second phage body (102). The phage body fastening portion (140) may be disposed at an end of the phage body sliding portion (130). A fastening ring (20) may be disposed on the phage body fastening portion (140). As the fastening ring (20) is disposed and fixed on the phage body fastening portion (140), the other end of the first phage body (101) and the other end of the second phage body (102) may not move apart from each other without the user applying additional force to the opener (1) or performing any other action, and the ampoule (A) may be fixed to the phage portion (10).

[0070] The phage body attachment portion (140) may include a first attachment step portion (141), a attachment concave portion (142), and a second attachment step portion (143).

[0071] The first engagement step (141) and the second engagement step (143) can be defined as steps formed in the first grip body (101) and the second grip body (102), and the engagement concave portion (142) can connect the first engagement step (141) and the second engagement step (143). A fastening ring (20) can be placed in the fastening concave portion (142). When the fastening ring (20) is placed in the fastening concave portion (142), the fastening ring (20) can be fixed. Accordingly, the distance between the other end of the first grip body (101) and the other end of the second grip body (102) may not exceed a set distance.

[0072] The grip contact portion (150) may be arranged at the other end of the first grip body (101) and the other end of the second grip body (102). The grip contact portion (150) may include a concave groove, and an ampoule (A) may be arranged in the concave groove. The distance between the grip contact portion (150) arranged in the first grip body (101) and the grip contact portion (150) arranged in the second grip body (102) may vary. According to one embodiment, as the fastening ring (20) gets closer to the grip contact portion (150), the distance between the two grip contact portions (150) may become smaller, and as the fastening ring (20) gets farther from the grip contact portion (150), the distance between the two grip contact portions (150) may become larger.

[0073] The phage contact portion (150) may include a phage contact outer surface portion (151), a first phage contact protrusion portion (152), a phage contact concave portion (153), and a second phage contact protrusion portion (154).

[0074] The phage contact outer surface (151) can be arranged in a direction away from the direction in which the ampoule (A) is phaged. The phage contact outer surface (151) can be provided in a flat shape.

[0075] The first contact protrusion (152), the contact concave portion (153), and the second contact protrusion (154) can come into contact with the ampoule (A).

[0076] The grip contact recess (153) may be provided as a concave groove. According to one embodiment, the grip contact recess (153) may be provided as a concave surface. A first grip contact protrusion (152) and a second grip contact protrusion (154) may be arranged at both ends of the grip contact recess (153). The first grip contact protrusion (152) and the second grip contact protrusion (154) are formed to protrude from the first grip body (101) and the second grip body (102), thereby preventing the ampoule (A) from moving.

[0077] The opener (1) may further include a protective member (160). The protective member (160) may be disposed on the grip contact portion (150). According to one embodiment, the protective member (160) may be disposed on the first grip contact protrusion (152), the grip contact concave portion (153), and the second grip contact protrusion (154).

[0078] The protective member (160) may include a first protective protrusion (161), a protective recess (162), and a second protective protrusion (163). The first protective protrusion (161) may be arranged in the first grip contact protrusion (152), the protective recess (162) may be arranged in the grip contact recess (153), and the second protective protrusion (163) may be arranged in the second grip contact protrusion (154).

[0079] The protective member (160) may include an elastic material. In one embodiment, the protective member (160) may include rubber, sponge, plastic, EVA (Ethylene-Vinyl Acetate), etc. Since the protective member (160) includes an elastic material, it can be elastically deformed according to the shape of the ampoule (A) and the grip contact portion (150). Accordingly, the ampoule (A) can be firmly gripped by the grip portion (10).

[0080] The fastening ring (20) may include a fastening ring body (200), a fastening ring hole (201), a first outer inclined surface (210), a second outer inclined surface (220), a fastening body upper surface (230), a first inner inclined surface (241), a second inner inclined surface (242), and a third inner inclined surface (243).

[0081] The fastening ring body (200) may be provided as a polyhedron. The fastening ring hole (201) may be provided as a hole penetrating the fastening ring body (200). The gripping portion (10) may be arranged to penetrate the fastening ring hole (201). The gripping portion (10) is arranged to penetrate the fastening ring hole (201), and depending on the position of the fastening ring hole (201) in the gripping portion (10), the distance between the gripping contact portion (150) of the first gripping body (101) and the gripping contact portion (150) of the second gripping body (102) may vary.

[0082] The outer side of the fastening ring body (200) can be defined as a first outer inclined surface (210) and a second outer inclined surface (220).

[0083] The first outer slope surface (210) and the second outer slope surface (220) may be provided in multiple numbers. According to one embodiment, two first outer slope surfaces (210) may be arranged to face each other, the second outer slope surface (220) may be arranged to connect the two first outer slope surfaces (210), and the two second outer slope surfaces (220) may be arranged to face each other. The first outer slope surface (210) may be arranged to connect the two second outer slope surfaces (220).

[0084] The first outer slope (210) and the second outer slope (220) can extend in a direction intersecting the height direction of the fastening ring body (200). Accordingly, the cross section of the fastening ring body (200) can be formed in an approximately trapezoidal shape.

[0085] The first outer slope (210) and the second outer slope (220) may be twisted as they progress toward the upper side of the fastening ring body (200). According to one embodiment, the first outer slope (210) and the second outer slope (220) may be formed in a spiral shape as they progress toward the upper side of the fastening ring body (200).

[0086] As the upper side of the fastening ring body (200) progresses, the distance between the first outer inclined surface (210) and the second outer inclined surface (220) may become smaller.

[0087] As the outer surface of the fastening ring body (200) is formed with a first outer inclined surface (210) and a second outer inclined surface (220), the user's finger can be easily placed on the first outer inclined surface (210) and / or the second outer inclined surface (220).

[0088] In addition, since the first outer slope (210) and / or the second outer slope (220) are formed in a spiral shape, when the user's finger presses the fastening ring body (200) in the height direction, the force of the finger can act to twist the fastening ring body (200) with respect to the grip portion (10). As the fastening ring body (200) acts to twist with respect to the grip portion (10), the fastening ring body (200) can be easily coupled to the grip body engagement portion (140) while moving along the grip body sliding portion (130).

[0089] The upper surface of the fastening ring body (200) can be defined as the fastening body upper surface (230). The fastening body upper surface (230) can include a fastening ring hole (201).

[0091] The inner surface of the fastening ring hole (201) may include a first inner slope surface (241), a second inner slope surface (242), and a third inner slope surface (243).

[0092] The two first inner slopes (241) can be arranged to face each other, the two second inner slopes (242) can be arranged to face each other, and the two third inner slopes (243) can be arranged to face each other.

[0093] According to one embodiment, a second inner slope (242) and a third inner slope (243) may be arranged at both ends of a first inner slope (241), a first inner slope (241) and a third inner slope (243) may be arranged at both ends of a second inner slope (242), and a first inner slope (241) and a second inner slope (242) may be arranged at both ends of a third inner slope (243).

[0094] According to one embodiment, the length of the third internal inclined surface (243) perpendicular to the height direction of the fastening ring body (200) may be formed longer than the length of the first internal inclined surface (241) perpendicular to the height direction of the fastening ring body (200) and the length of the second internal inclined surface (242) perpendicular to the height direction of the fastening ring body (200).

[0095] According to one embodiment, the third inner slope (243) can come into contact with the grip body wet part (130). As the grip part (10) is inserted into the fastening ring (20) and the fastening ring (20) moves with respect to the grip part (10), the third inner slope (243) can come into contact with the grip body wet part (130). As the third inner slope (243) gets closer to the grip contact part (150), the two grip contact parts (150) can come closer to each other.

[0096] When the fastening ring (20) is placed on the grip body fastening portion (140), the distance between the other end of the first grip body (101) and the other end of the second grip body (102) can be maintained below a set distance. In this way, as the distance between the other end of the first grip body (101) and the other end of the second grip body (102) is maintained below a set distance, the user can grip the ampoule (A) placed between the grip contact portions (150) without applying additional force to the opener (1).

[0097]

[0098] FIG. 5 is a perspective view of a fastening ring in contact with a grip portion of an opener according to one embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 6 is a perspective view of a fastening ring moving with respect to a grip portion of an opener according to one embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 7 is a perspective view of a fastening ring coupled with a grip portion of an opener according to one embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 8 is a perspective view of an ampoule being opened with an opener according to one embodiment of the present invention.

[0099] The ampoule (A), the grip portion (10), and the fastening ring (20) illustrated in FIGS. 5 to 8 are identical to the ampoule (A), the grip portion (10), and the fastening ring (20) illustrated in FIGS. 1 to 4. Therefore, a description of the same configuration may be omitted.

[0100] Referring to Figures 5 to 8, the process of opening an ampoule (A) is described.

[0101] Referring to Fig. 5, the grip portion (10) may be arranged to penetrate the fastening ring (20). The fastening ring (20) may be arranged adjacent to the grip body connection portion (103). Accordingly, the distance between the grip contact portions (150) facing each other may be spaced apart by a distance greater than the diameter of the ampoule (A). According to one embodiment, the distance between the grip contact portions (150) may be spaced apart by a distance greater than the diameter of the ampoule head portion (AH).

[0102] Referring to Fig. 6, the ampoule (A) can be placed on the grip contact portion (150). According to one embodiment, two grip contact portions (150) can be placed on both sides of the ampoule head portion (AH) to press toward the center of the ampoule head portion (AH). With the two grip contact portions (150) approaching each other, the fastening ring (20) can move toward the grip contact portion (150). Alternatively, as the fastening ring (20) moves toward the grip contact portion (150), the two grip contact portions (150) can approach each other.

[0103] Since the fastening ring (20) includes a first outer slope (210) and a second outer slope (220), the user can easily manipulate the fastening ring (20). As the fastening ring (20) moves toward the grip contact portion (150), the fastening ring (20) can be placed on the grip body engagement portion (140).

[0104] Referring to Fig. 7, the fastening ring (20) is placed in the grip body fastening portion (140) and can move in a direction perpendicular to the extension direction of the grip body sliding portion (130). According to one embodiment, the fastening ring (20) can come into contact with the first fastening step portion (141) and / or the second fastening step portion (143), and the fastening ring (20) can be inserted into the fastening concave portion (142).

[0105] As the fastening ring (20) is inserted into the fastening recess (142) in this way, the movement of the first grip body (101) and the second grip body (102) can be restricted by the fastening ring (20).

[0106] As the movement of the first phage body (101) and the second phage body (102) is restricted by the fastening ring (20), the user can stably hold the ampoule (A) through the opener (1) without applying additional force.

[0107] Referring to Fig. 8, the ampoule (A) being opened can be confirmed. If the opener (1) is twisted in a direction intersecting the height direction of the ampoule (A) while the ampoule (A) is held by the opener (1), the ampoule connection part (AN) may be damaged. If the ampoule connection part (AN) is damaged, the ampoule head part (AH) may move along the holding part (10) while being held by the holding part (10). The ampoule body part (AB) may be maintained in a state in which the drug is contained.

[0108] As the gripping part (10) stably grips the ampoule head part (AH), even if the ampoule connection part (AN) is damaged, fragments of the ampoule (A) do not occur, and the ampoule head part (AH) can be cleanly separated from the ampoule body part (AB). Accordingly, glass fragments may not enter the ampoule body part (AB). Furthermore, since fragments are not generated, the amount of fine glass generated can be reduced. In addition, safety can be improved as the user may not be injured by fragments.

[0109] Since the user does not directly break the ampoule head (AH) but instead breaks the ampoule head (AH) through the opener (1), the user's body can be separated from the ampoule (A) that is damaged. Accordingly, safety can be improved.

[0110]

[0111] Figure 9 is a flowchart of a method of using an opener according to one embodiment of the present invention.

[0112] The method of using the opener (1) may include a gripping step (S100 of FIG. 9) of gripping an ampoule (A) through a gripping part (10), a tightening ring moving step (S200 of FIG. 9) of moving a tightening ring (20) that wraps the gripping part (10) toward the ampoule (A), a tightening ring coupling step (S300 of FIG. 9) of coupling the tightening ring (20) to a grip body coupling part (140) provided as a concave groove in the gripping part (10), and an ampoule opening step (S400 of FIG. 9) of twisting the opener (1) to open the ampoule (A).

[0113] In the gripping step (S100), one end of the first grip body (101) of the gripping unit (10) and one end of the second grip body (102) can be connected to form a grip body connecting unit (103). The distance between the other end of the first grip body (101) and the other end of the second grip body (102) of the gripping unit (10) can be adjusted. The grip contact unit (150) disposed at the other end of the first grip body (101) and the grip contact unit (150) disposed at the other end of the second grip body (102) can be disposed on both sides of the ampoule (A). According to one embodiment, the grip contact unit (150) can be disposed adjacent to the ampoule head unit (AH) of the ampoule (A).

[0114] In the pad step (S100), the protective member (160) placed on the pad contact portion (150) can be placed adjacent to the ampoule head portion (AH) of the ampoule (A).

[0115] In the fastening ring movement step (S200), the fastening ring (20) arranged to surround the gripping part (10) can move toward the ampoule (A). According to one embodiment, the fastening ring (20) can move toward the gripping contact part (150) and / or the protective member (160). As the fastening ring (20) moves toward the gripping contact part (150) and / or the protective member (160), the distance between the gripping contact part (150) and / or the protective member (160) arranged in the first gripping body (101) and the gripping contact part (150) and / or the protective member (160) arranged in the second gripping body (102) can be narrowed.

[0116] In this way, as the distance between the facing contact portions (150) and / or the protective member (160) is narrowed, the contact portions (150) and / or the protective member (160) can come into contact with the ampoule head portion (AH). As the contact portions (150) and / or the protective member (160) come into contact with the ampoule head portion (AH), the ampoule (A) can be gripped by the opener (1).

[0117] In the fastening ring coupling step (S300), the fastening ring (20) can be coupled with the grip body fastening portion (140). The grip body fastening portion (140) can be formed as a concave groove in the first grip body (101) and / or the second grip body (102). The fastening ring (20) can be inserted into the grip body fastening portion (140) so that the movement of the fastening ring (20) can be restricted. As the movement of the fastening ring (20) is restricted, the distance between the grip contact portion (150) and / or the protective member (160) disposed in the first grip body (101) and the grip contact portion (150) and / or the protective member (160) disposed in the second grip body (102) can be prevented from increasing. Accordingly, the user can open the ampoule (A) through the opener (1) without applying additional force.

[0118] In the ampoule opening step (S400), the opener (1) may be twisted relative to the ampoule (A), thereby damaging the ampoule connection (AN). Accordingly, the ampoule head (AH) may be separated from the ampoule body (AB). The ampoule head (AH) may be gripped by the grip (10) and moved together with the grip (10).

[0119] Accordingly, the ampoule (A) can be opened without fragmentation, and since fragmentation is eliminated, the amount of microscopic glass generated can be reduced. Furthermore, user safety can be improved.
