International Classification:

A61K 47/46

US Classification:

424600

Abstract:

The invention encompasses antidotal food products containing activated charcoal for ingestion into the gastrointestinal tract of a user for treating various gastrointestinal disorders.

Appl. No.:

7/246678

Inventors:

Michael A. Stang - Pikesville MD

International Classification:

A45F 500

US Classification:

224270

Abstract:

This invention pertains to a container system (10) which is adapted to be removably coupled to the body (20) of a user (22). The container system (10) includes a container housing (24) and a cover member (48) having a cut-out portion (60) which is adapted to be contiguously mounted around the neck of the user. The container system (10) includes a releasable coupling mechanism (64) having a strap member (66) which is passed around the neck (62) of the user (22) and is of adjustable length to accomodate differing sized users (22). In this manner, there is provided a container system (10) which is disposable by the user (22) after use and is releasably secured in an adjustable manner around the neck (62) of the user (22) to perform a bib-like function and serve as a temporary table or tray for the objects being used.

International Classification:

A61K 928

US Classification:

424441

Abstract:

An antidotal food product containing activated charcoal is provided for ingestion into the gastro-intestinal tract of a user. The antidotal food product is orally administered having the visual appearance and physical properties which enables the desire on the part of young children to chew and ingest the food product. The food product in a preferred embodiment includes a substantially dry friable wafer which is adapted to be chewed by the user for ingestion. The dry friable wafer has a wafer mixture composition formed by blending a first predetermined weight of sorbent particulate composition having an initial adsorption value with respect to a toxin to a second predetermined weight of a substantially non-interfering flavored binding composition which provides for a creamy and sweet tasting food product. The initial adsorption value of the sorbent particulate composition maintains a high adsorption value in the wafer mixture composition for maximizing the adsorption value of the composition to combat toxins which have been ingested by the user.

International Classification:

A61K 928
A61K 968
A61K 4700

US Classification:

424441

Abstract:

A method for manufacturing an antidotal food product containing activated charcoal is provided to combine a binder, a filler composition, water, flavoring and sweetener compositions with an activated charcoal to form wafers having a consistency emulating that of a baked cookie. The activated charcoal (110), binder (112), filler (114), water (116), and flavoring and sweetener compositions (118) are combined in a mixer (210) to form a slurry. The slurry is then processed in a spray dryer (220) to form granules. The granules are combined with a lubricant (122) in a blender (230). The dry mixture from blender (230) is then formed into wafers by a tableting type machine in a compression molding step (240). The wafers formed in the compression molding step (240) are then coated in an anti-dusting coating step (250). A sweet creme filling is applied between pairs of the wafers in a cookie sandwich assembly step (270).

Michael A. Stang - Pikesville MD

International Classification:

A45F 500

US Classification:

224270

Abstract:

This invention pertains to a food tray and bib system (10) which is adapted to be removably coupled to the neck (16) of a user's body (18). The food tray and bib system (10) includes a flexibly collapsible housing and bib assembly (20) having a deformable cavity (30) for receipt of a tray assembly (40). Housing and bib assembly (20) includes a rear wall (22) having a lower portion (21) defining a rear wall of the deformable cavity (30), and an upper portion (23) extending longitudinally from deformable cavity (30) a predetermined distance to define a bib-like structure. Upper portion (23) of rear wall (22) includes an arcuate cut-out portion (33) whose perimeter is defined by a pair of strap members (34) of alternately a through opening (32) may be provided for releasable coupling to the neck (16) of the user's body (18). The forward portion of deformable cavity (30) is structurally supported by an angular portion (28) integrally formed in each side wall (26) extending from an upper portion of rear wall (22) to a forward perimeter portion of deformable cavity (30). Tray assembly (40) is formed in a parallelepiped contour and includes a plurality of corner posts (46) for establishing the contour of deformable cavity (30), subsequent to insertion of tray assembly (40) therein.
