Claims
- 1. A composite medicament container comprising a first vial member for a first component of the medicament, an outlet opening in the vial, a closure member slidably mounted in said outlet opening for normally sealing said outlet opening, a flexible container member having a discharge outlet fitting with a port and a plug member for the port, means mounting said closure and plug members so that the outlet opening and port are axially aligned and plunger rod means disposed completely interiorly of said flexible container member cooperatively associated with said closure and plug members actuatable axially to a discharge position to displace said closure and plug members into said first vial member and thereby establish fluid communication between said first and second members, guide means for guiding said plunger rod means during actuation thereof axially to said discharge position, said plunger rod means being of a cross-sectional configuration to permit fluid flow around the periphery of said plunger rod whein in said discharge position, the diameter of said closure member being greater than the diameter of said plug member and said plunger rod manipulatable externally of said flexible container to actuate the same axially and engageable with said plug member to ensure displacement of both said closure and plug member into said first vial member.
- 2. A composite medicament container as claimed in claim 1, wherein said plug member is of a smaller diameter than said closure member to allow for axial displacement of both members into said first vial.
- 3. A composite medicament container as claimed in claim 1, wherein said outlet in said first vial has a circumferentially extending indentation providing a seat and seal for the closure member.
- 4. A composite medicament container as claimed in claim 1, including a rigid discharge fitting for the discharge port of said flexible container which confronts the outlet of said first vial and seal means between said discharge fitting and said first vial.
- 5. A composite medicament container as claimed in claim 4, wherein said discharge fitting and said first vial have radially outwardly projecting flanges and a one-piece member securing the vial member and container by said flanges.
- 6. A composite medicament container as claimed in claim 1, wherein said plunger rod is of cross section different than said port cross section to allow flow between said plunger rod and said port.
- 7. A composite medicament container as claimed in claim 1, including means mounting said plunger rod for limited axial movement in said port in a predetermined manner preventing full displacement thereof into said flexible container.
- 8. A composite medicament container as claimed in claim 7, wherein said port is of stepped configuration defining a shoulder along its length and wherein said plunger rod has an enlarged portion engageable with said shoulder to limit axial movement of said plunger rod.
