Abstract
Container for storing two different substances, having a first compartment containing a liquid, a second compartment containing another liquid, a separating body which separates the two compartments, and a tool which breaks the separating body when required and can be moved by hand by means of at least one transmitting part which transmits compression forces, such that the force-transmitting direction of the transmitting part 5 lies at an angle to the direction of movement 6 of the tool 4, and that the transmitting part 5 is rotatably attached by one of its ends to the tool 4 and by its other end to the inside wall 9 of the container.
Claims9
A container for separately packaging two different substances and for enabling mixing of said substances prior to dispensing thereof from said container, comprising:
- a first compartment containing first substance and a second compartment containing a second substance;
- a frangible seal separating said first and second compartments;
- a discharge port for enabling discharge from at least one of said compartments of a mixture of said substances;
- and
- a puncturing device for breaking said frangible seal to establish a communication between said compartments, said puncturing device comprising a toggle lever press comprising lateral lever arms and a press shank having a die with a sharp knife edge adjacent said frangible seal, and being contained within one of said compartments in a guided manner to break frangible seal upon application of a force against said lateral lever arms by laterally squeezing said compartment containing said puncturing device to push said press shank in the direction of said frangible seal allowing said sharp knife edge to break said frangible seal, said lever arms having joints, in the form of film hinges or weakings in the material forming said lever arms, such that said lever arms can be pivoted relative to said press shank.
A container for separately packaging two different substances and for enabling mixing of said substances prior to dispensing thereof from said container, comprising:
- a first compartment containing a first substance and a second compartment containing a second substance;
- a frangible seal separating said first and second compartments;
- a discharge port for enabling discharge from at least one of said compartments of a mixture of said substances;
- and
- a puncturing device for breaking said frangible seal to establish a communication between said compartments, said puncturing device comprising a toggle lever press comprising lateral lever arms and a press shank having a die with a sharp knife edge adjacent said frangible seal, and being contained within one of said compartments in a guided manner to break said frangible seal upon application of a force against said lateral lever arms by laterally squeezing said compartment containing said puncturing device to push said press shank in the direction of said frangible seal allowing said sharp knife edge to break said frangible seal, said lever arms being connected to a tube, in which said press shank is guided.
