ABSTRACT:
Apparatus and a method for filling and sealing a medicinal dispensing device with a flowable material, such as a liquid, and for sealing the liquid therein. The medicinal dispensing device includes a base having plural chambers each surrounded by a flange. A closure is adhesively secured to the base by contacting the flanges to seal the material within the chambers. The apparatus for filling and sealing the medicinal dispensing device comprises a base support block having an extending channel in the top face and a plurality of spaced recesses within the channel. The recesses are so dimensioned and spaced from each other to receive respective chambers of the base, with portions of the channel between the recesses supporting the flanges of the base. Removable guide means in the form of an elongated block is disposed within the channel over the flanges of the device base. The guide means includes plural funnel-shaped openings tapering downward and being spaced such that when the guide means is disposed within the channel each funnel-shaped opening overlies a respective chamber of the base of the medicinal dispensing device for directing the flowable material into the chamber while preventing the material from contacting the contiguous flange. The guide member is removable to enable the closure to be placed over the filled base. A press having a work contacting surface configured to fit within the channel is provided to force the closure of the device into engagement with the flanges of the base to seal the closure onto the base. Locating pins are provided for facilitating the insertion of the closure directly over the base.
