Single-dose spray system for application of liquids onto the human body
DCFirst Claim
1. A spray device comprising:
- at least one nozzle;
a housing supporting the at least one nozzle;
a receiver vessel within the housing, the receiver vessel configured to receive a user inserted liquid container, the received liquid container sized to contain, when filled, a maximum volume of spray liquid not to exceed that which is substantially equal to an amount required to apply a single dosage of the spray liquid for coating a surface of a human body;
a liquid channel adapted to connect the received liquid container to the at least one nozzle;
a spray valve controlling spraying of the spray liquid received from the received liquid container by the at least one nozzle; and
a control device which controls the operation of the spray device to perform a single spraying operation with respect to coating the surface of the human body, at the completion of which the liquid container is substantially empty of the spray liquid.

Abstract
A spray device for coating a surface of a human body with a spray liquid, the spray device including at least one nozzle and at least one liquid container, wherein the at least one liquid container is adapted to hold a volume of spray liquid substantially equal to an amount required to apply a single dosage of the spray liquid for coating a surface of a human body. The spray device further includes a liquid channel adapted to connect the at least one liquid container to the at least one nozzle, and a spray valve adapted to cause the spray liquid to flow from the at least one liquid container to the at least one nozzle using the liquid channel. The spray device still further includes a control device adapted to control the operation of the spray device; and a mounting device for mounting the spray device to a mounting surface.

21. A spray device comprising:
-
at least one nozzle; a housing supporting the at least one nozzle; a receiver vessel within the housing to receive a removable liquid container having an open end closed by a liquid seal, the received liquid container sized to contain, when filled, a maximum volume of spray liquid not to exceed that which is substantially equal to an amount required to apply a single dosage of the spray liquid for coating a surface of a human body during a single spraying operation, at the completion of which the liquid container is substantially empty of the spray liquid; a receiver conduit placed within the receiver vessel and adapted to puncture the liquid seal of the received at least one removable liquid container; a liquid channel connecting the received liquid container to the at least one nozzle; and a spray valve, wherein activation of the spray valve causes spraying of the spray liquid received from the received liquid container by the at least one nozzle. - View Dependent Claims (22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33)
