Abstract
A container assembly having a container, a lid having a spout, and a partition to separate the container into multiple subcompartments. The partition has a flexible edge which is in contact with an inner surface of the lid. When the lid rotates about the container, the flexible edge is biased against the lid and is capable of being deformed.
Claims20
A container assembly comprising:
- a container having a closed end and an open end;
- a lid having at least one spout disposed on an upper surface of the lid that is adapted to be attached to the open end of the container;
- at least one partition separating the container into at least two subcompartments, the subcompartments being in direct communication with the at least one spout;
- and
- a flexible swiping bladed edge provided on an edge of the at least one partition, the flexible swiping bladed edge adapted to allow rotation and remain in contact with and biased against an inner surface of the lid while the lid is rotated to prevent the at least two subcompartments from mixing.

A container assembly comprising:
- a container having a closed end and an open end;
- a lid having a spout disposed on an upper surface of the lid and a spout cover that is adapted to be attached to the open end of the container;
- and
- at least one partition having a flexible swiping bladed edge on an edge of its upper end in contact with an inner surface of the lid, the flexible swiping bladed edge on the upper end capable of being deformed when the lid is rotated over the container as the flexible swiping bladed edge swipes over the inner surface of the lid to prevent at least one substance from mixing across the partition.

A multi-compartment container assembly comprising:
- a container having an open end, a closed end, a central axis, and at least two subcompartments;
- a lid, attached to the open end of the container, having at least one spout disposed on an upper surface of the lid and a spout cover;
- at least one partition radially disposed about the central axis which separates the at least two subcompartments, the subcompartments being in direct communication with the at least one spout;
- and
- a flexible swiping bladed edge disposed on an edge of the at least one partition, such that when the lid rotates about the container, the flexible swiping bladed edge bends and is biased against the lid to prevent mixing of the at least two subcompartments.
