Abstract
A container having at least two separate chambers that allow for the storage of two components of a liquid product to be stored, and later mixed, for consumption wherein the storing or mixing takes place within the container and is allowed by placement of a formula chamber disposed at various positions with the container.

A container comprising:
- a bottle base having a set of internal threads and a bottle base liquid chamber;
- and
- a formula chamber having a first set of external threads on a proximal end of the formula chamber and a second set of external threads on a distal end of the formula chamber wherein the second set of external threads is sized and configured to operationally engage with the set of internal threads in the bottle base, wherein the formula chamber includes a formula chamber cutout disposed near the distal end of the formula chamber such that when the formula chamber is inserted a first distance into the bottle base, the engagement of the second set of external threads with the internal threads of the bottle base sealingly engages the formula chamber with the bottle base to substantially seal the formula chamber cutout from the bottle base liquid chamber, and wherein when the formula chamber is inserted a second distance into the bottle base, the further insertion of the formula chamber into the bottle base allows the formula chamber cutout to communicate with the bottle base liquid chamber of the bottle base to allow any first substance on a formula chamber floor of the formula chamber cutout to mix with any second substance located within the bottle base liquid chamber.
A container comprising:
- a bottle base having a set of internal threads and a bottle base liquid chamber;
- and
- a generally cylindrical formula chamber having;
- a first set of external threads on a proximal end of the formula chamber;
- a second set of external threads on a distal end of the formula chamber wherein the second set of external threads is sized and configured to operationally engage with the set of internal threads in the bottle base;
- wherein the formula chamber includes a formula chamber opening axially aligned with the formula chamber and which opens at the proximal end of the formula chamber and which ends in the formula chamber floor located near the distal end of the formula chamber;
- and
- wherein the formula chamber includes at least one formula chamber located near the distal end of the formula chamber such that a lower edge of the formula chamber cutout is aligned with a surface of the formula chamber floor, wherein the formula chamber cutout is disposed near the distal end of the formula chamber such that when the formula chamber is inserted a first distance into the bottle base, the engagement of the second set of external threads with the internal threads of the bottle base sealingly engages the formula chamber with the bottle base to substantially seal the formula chamber cutout from the bottle base liquid chamber, and wherein when the formula chamber is inserted a second distance into the bottle base, the further insertion of the formula chamber into the bottle base allows the formula chamber cutout to communicate with the bottle base liquid chamber of the bottle base.
