Abstract
Provided is a mixing cap (10) attachable to a product chamber (4) for accommodating a product (8), the mixing cap (10) including an additive chamber (14) for accommodating an additive (12), the additive chamber (14) being defined by a flexible shell (20) surrounding an inner cavity (21) of the additive chamber (14), the flexible shell (20) being deformable to open towards the product chamber (4) for introducing the additive (12) into the product (8), a container device (2) with such a mixing cap (10) and a method for mixing a product composition (8, 12) out of the product (8) and the additive (12). FIG. 1
Claims19
A mixing cap attachable to a product chamber for accommodating a product, the mixing cap including an additive chamber for accommodating an additive, the additive chamber being defined by a flexible shell surrounding an inner cavity of the additive chamber, the flexible shell being deformable to open towards the product chamber for introducing the additive into the product.
A container device for accommodating a composition of a product and an additive, the container device including
- a mixing cap according to any of the preceding claims,
- a product chamber
- wherein the mixing cap is attached to the outwardly disposed product opening of the product chamber.
The method of mixing a product and an additive, the flexible shell having a first area arranged immediately at the product chamber and a second area located behind the inner cavity of the additive chamber relative to the first area of the flexible shell,
- deforming the second area of the flexible shell and therefore changing the pressure within the inner cavity, preferable raising the pressure within the inner cavity, and
- the changing pressure within the inner cavity causing deforming of the first area until the additive chamber opens open towards the product chamber.
