Abstract

A multi-chambered dispenser which both retains solid objects such as mineral and ceramic stones in a defined region and also enables fluid communication with the objects is provided. A permeable inner wall may be disposed within an outer chamber to define a barrier preventing the solid objects maintained within the outer chamber from entering an inner chamber defined by the permeable inner wall. Fluid, such as tap or even filtered water, may be poured into the dispenser, and, owing to the permeation of the inner wall, freely communicate with the objects maintained outside of the permeable inner wall to absorb and become infused with various beneficial characteristics comprising the objects. Means for dispensing the infused fluid for topical application may be configured to draw infused fluid out of the dispenser through the inner chamber such that interference of such means by the solid objects is avoided.

Dependent claims

A multi-chambered topical dispenser for topical application of a mineral enhanced solution, comprising:

an outer chamber having an inside and an outside, wherein the outer chamber is impermeable, and wherein the outer chamber is defined by a bottom wall spaced apart from a top wall by a side wall, the side wall extending between the top and bottom walls, the top wall further defining an opening into the outer chamber;
at least one permeable inner chamber having an inside and an outside, the inner permeable chamber defined by a permeable inner wall having at least one wall opening therethrough to enable at least one fluid contained by the dispenser to communicate between the permeable inner chamber and the outer chamber;
at least one solid mineral stone contained in the outer chamber, the at least one solid mineral stone having a size that is larger than the at least one wall opening so as to be unable to fully enter the permeable inner chamber, wherein the at least one solid mineral stone is operative to infuse the at least one fluid with at least one property of the at least one solid mineral stone;
wherein the permeable inner wall is contained within the outer chamber and wherein the permeable inner wall is configured to extend from the bottom wall to the opening into the outer chamber defined by the top wall;
and
a dispenser tube for dispensing the at least one fluid, the dispenser tube being positioned within the permeable inner chamber such that the dispenser tube passes into the permeable inner chamber and is circumferentially surrounded by the permeable inner chamber.

A multi-chambered topical dispenser for topical application of a mineral enhanced solution, comprising:

a watertight outer chamber, comprising
a) at least one outer chamber side wall;
b) at least one outer chamber bottom wall;
and
c) at least one outer chamber top wall, wherein the at least one outer chamber top wall defines at least one opening;
at least one inner chamber positioned within the watertight outer chamber, comprising:
a) at least one inner chamber wall having a top inner chamber wall side and a bottom inner chamber wall side, wherein the top inner chamber wall side is connected to the at least one outer chamber top wall, and wherein the bottom inner chamber wall side is in contact with the outer chamber bottom wall;
and
b) a plurality of holes defined along the at least one inner chamber wall, wherein the plurality of holes are configured to transverse the at least one inner chamber wall;
at least one fluid configured to traverse between the outer chamber and the inner chamber;
a means for dispensing the at least one fluid having at least one intake tube, wherein the means for dispensing the at least one fluid is configured to removably secure to the top wall, and A wherein the at least one intake tube has a length with a vertical axis that is with a circumference of the at least one inner chamber;
and
at least one mineral stone contained in the outer chamber, wherein the at least one mineral stone is operative to release a mineral substance into the at least one fluid, and wherein the at least one mineral stone having a size such that it is unable to pass through the plurality of holes.
