Dispenser and process

A dispenser for dispensing a flowable material, the dispenser comprising:

• a container having an outer wall and membrane collectively defining a first chamber configured to contain the flowable material, the container defining a longitudinal axis, the membrane having a thickness and a weld seam, the weld seam having a thickness less than the thickness of the membrane;
• and
• a first fracturing mechanism operably connected to the container, the fracturing mechanism comprising a first extending member, the first extending member having a first segment and a second segment connected to the first segment, the first segment projecting from the outer wall, the second segment extending from the first segment along an axis generally parallel to the longitudinal axis, the first segment of the first extending member having a first projection positioned proximate the membrane,
• a second fracturing mechanism operably connected to the container in opposed relation to the first fracturing mechanism, the second fracturing mechanism comprising a second extending member, the second extending member having a first segment and a second segment connected to the first segment, the first segment projecting from the outer wall, the second segment extending from the first segment along an axis generally parallel to the longitudinal axis, the first segment of the second extending member having a second projection positioned proximate the membrane,
• wherein in response to a user deflecting the first extending member and the second extending member towards one another to respective deflected positions, the first projection deflects the outer wall proximate the membrane and the second projection deflects the outer wall proximate the membrane wherein the weld seam fractures creating an opening through the membrane configured to allow the flowable material to pass from the dispenser.

• and
• a second container configured to hold a second flowable material, the second container contained within the first container, wherein the second container is rupturable and configured such that the second flowable material can mix with the first flowable material to form a mixture in the first chamber, wherein in response to deflection of the extending member, the projection deflects the outer wall proximate the membrane wherein the weld seam fractures creating an opening through the membrane configured to allow the mixture to pass therethrough and from the dispenser.
