Abstract
A bottle comprises a body having an opening in an upper end for receiving fluid; a membrane provided to seal across the opening; and a receptacle sealingly secured to a surface of the membrane within the body. Separation of the membrane from the opening in the receptacle releases the receptacle such that the contents of the receptacle are released into the body.
Claims13
A bottle comprising:
- a body having an opening in an upper end for receiving fluid;
- a membrane provided to seal across the opening;
- a receptacle sealingly secured to a surface of the membrane within the body;
- wherein separation of the membrane from the opening of the body releases the receptacle such that the contents of the receptacle are released into the body;
- wherein the body comprises a vessel having a narrowed neck portion and the receptacle comprises a cup having an aperture in an upper end such that the membrane seals across the neck and across the aperture in the receptacle, and wherein the receptacle includes arms to engage under a shoulder defined below the neck of the body to prevent the receptacle moving upwardly relative to the neck when the membrane is removed;
- and
- wherein the surface of the membrane comprises an adhesive in contact with the opening of the body and the receptacle, wherein the adhesive makes seals with the body and the receptacle, and further wherein the seals are configured to be broken when the surface of the membrane is removed from contact with the body and the receptacle.

A bottle comprising:
- a body having an opening in an upper end for receiving fluid;
- a receptacle for holding contents and for locating within the body, the receptacle having an aperture;
- a membrane means for sealing across the opening of the body and for sealing closed the aperture of the receptacle, wherein the membrane means includes a membrane with a surface, wherein the surface of the membrane comprises an adhesive in contact with the opening of the body and the receptacle, wherein the membrane means further comprises an adhesive that makes seals with the bottle and the receptacle, and further wherein the seals are configured to be broken when the surface of the membrane is removed from contact with the body and the receptacle;
- wherein the membrane is adapted such that upon separation of the membrane from the opening in the body the contents of the receptacle are released into the body;
- and
- wherein the receptacle comprises retaining means for retaining the receptacle inside of the body when the membrane means is separated from the opening of the body.
3 more elements
A method of preparing a bottle holding contents, the method comprising:
- sealing a receptacle holding contents inside a body of the bottle having an opening with a membrane, wherein the sealing includes using an adhesive to form a seal with the membrane across the opening of the body and to form a seal that seals closed an aperture of the receptacle,
- wherein the seals are configured to be broken when the membrane is removed from contact with the body and the receptacle;
- wherein the membrane seals such that when it is separated from the opening of the body the contents are released from the receptacle into the body;
- and
- wherein arms of the receptacle are prevented from moving out of the body by engagement with a shoulder defined below a narrowed neck of the body.
