After the selective separation of one of the compartments from the composite, it may be opened by use of the opening means that is associated therewith.
Claims6
In a compartmented container for liquids and solids including a plurality of independent closed container sections, means separably joining said container sections in assembled relationship to form a unitized multi-compartment container and opening means on each container section allowing it to be opened independently of the other container sections, the unitized multi-compartment container being cylindrical and the container sections being wedge-like with each container section having a pair of flat converging radial walls and a circumferential wall, the improvement of the opening means of the container sections being on corresponding ends thereof and being radially disposed with the inner ends of the opening means extending near the axial center of the multi-compartment container, and separable means joining the inner ends of the opening means and thereby separably joining the container sections for selective removal of an independent closure container section, said separable means comprising a globule having separable joined wedge-like portions attached to said inner ends of the opening means whereby a selected independent section may be removed from the unitized multi-compartment container by pulling the section sidewise and separating it from the remaining portion of the separable globule.
In a compartmented container for liquids and solids including at least three independent closed container sections, means separately joining said container sections in assembled relationship to form a unitized multi-compartment container and opening means on each container section allowing it to be opened independently of the other container sections, the improvement of each container section having a pair of flat, converging radial walls extending to near the axial center of the multi-compartment container and separable means comprising a globule having separable joined wedge-like portions, demarcated by score lines, each such wedge-like portion being attached to the inner end of one of said container sections, whereby a selected container section may be removed from the unitized multi-compartment container by pulling the section sidewise and separating it from the remaining portion of the globule.
