Abstract
Apparatus for storing and selectively mixing at least two distinct substances in a common package has a container (10) for creating a substance holding chamber (16) in which is disposed a barrier (18) arranged for separating the chamber into at least two compartments (20, 22) each holding a predetermined quantity of a substance different from a substance being held in the other compartment. Provision is made for exerting an external force on the barrier so as to open same and cause communication between the compartments. Subsequent mixing of the substances contained in the compartments is achieved either by continued movement of the barrier or by a separate mixing device.
Claims16
Apparatus for storing and selectively mixing at least two distinct substances, comprising in combination:
- A. container means for creating a substance holding chamber;
- B. barrier means arranged within the chamber of the container means and normally attached thereto for separating the chamber into at least two compartments, each of the compartments holding a quantity of a substance different from a substance being held in each of the other of the compartments;
- and
- C. combining means connected to the barrier means for selectively applying a twisting motion to the barrier means and separating the barrier means completely from the container means, permitting the selective communication with one another by an external force of the compartments formed by the barrier means within the chamber of the container means, and allowing a substance within each of the compartments to intermix with a substance from each of the other compartments formed by the barrier means.
