Container for receiving and separating a fluid into its ingredients

A container comprising:

• a first container section and a second container section, said container sections being adapted to be selectively coupled to one another or separated from one another;
• each of said container sections including a chamber and an opening communicating with said chamber;
• one of said container sections further comprising a rigid portion including a mouth, said rigid portion cooperating with the other container section when said container sections are coupled;
• with said chamber for this container section comprising the interior of said flexible bag;
• said container sections adapted to be sealingly engaged when coupled such that said openings are coupled and a connecting channel is formed between said chambers;
• at least one of said container sections further comprising a closure cooperating with said opening and having an open position permitting a fluid placed therein to pass through said opening and a closed position sealing said chamber;
• and
• closing means for causing said closure to be in said open position when said container sections are coupled, and in said closed position when said container sections are separated.

A container comprising:

• a first section defining a first chamber;
• a second section defining a second chamber;
• a conduit interconnecting said first and second sections and forming a channel between said chambers through which fluid can pass between said chambers when said first and second sections are in a coupled condition, said channel having two ends;
• a valve seat formed in each end of said channel;
• a valve member corresponding to each valve seat and adapted to close a respective end of said channel when seated in said valve seat;
• at least one spacing member positioning said valves spaced from said seats when in said coupled condition with said channel thereby being open;
• said spacing member further comprising a pair of telescoping elements in said chamber extending between said valves, said telescoping elements disengaging from each other in said decoupled condition;
• and
• a mount for said valve members, said mount being movable relative to said valve members;
• said valve members seating in said valve seats and sealing said chambers when said first and second sections are moved away from each other into a decoupled condition.

• said spacing member further comprising a projection extending from each respective valve member, said projections abutting each other in said conduit when in said coupled condition;
• and
• a mount for said valve members, said mount being movable relative to said valve members;
• said valve members seating in said valve seats and sealing said chambers when said first and second sections are moved away from each other into a decoupled condition.
