PACKAGE AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLED METERED DOSE DISPENSING OF A FLUID PRODUCT

WIPO Patent Application WO2002099364

A3

A method and package for controlled metered dispensing of a fluid product contained in the package having a metered dispensing system, each time the package is opened or uncapped are disclosed. By the present method and package, the maximum amount of product that can be dispensed is limited to a single metered dose after each uncapping of the package. Specifically, the metered dispensing system is configured to allow dispensing of only a single metered dose of a liquid, viscous liquid, gel, paste, or semi-solid product contained in the package and to prevent further dispensing of additional doses of product until at least one specific and deliberate step is taken that re-activates or re-engages the dispensing system. Only after the open package has been re-capped can the next dose of product be available for dispensing.
