Abstract
A packaging system comprises a container including at least two compartments, and at least one opening in communication with at least one of the at least two compartments; a common wall or a septum dividing each of the at least two compartments, the common wall or septum being adapted for rupturing to enable the contents of each of the at least two compartments to be mixed together within the container; and a rupture mechanism operatively engaged with the common wall and actuable by a user, the rupture mechanism being adapted for rupturing the common wall or septum upon actuation by a user.
Claims16
A packaging system comprising:
- a container including at least two compartments, and at least one opening in communication with at least one of the at least two compartments;
- a closure cap adapted for sealing engagement with the at least one opening of the container;
- a common wall separating each of the at least two compartments, the common wall being adapted for rupturing to enable the contents of each of the at least two compartments to mix in a volume formed from the resulting conjoined compartments within the container, and
- a rupture mechanism operatively engaged with the common wall and actuable by a user, the rupture mechanism being adapted for rupturing the common wall upon actuation by the user;
- wherein the rupture mechanism comprises a tear strip operatively engaged with the common wall, said tear strip extending longitudinally along the common wall to yield a tear portion wherein the separation of the tear strip from the common wall causes the common wall to split along the tear portion;
- and
- an elongate member having a first end and a second end, the first end of the elongate member being securely attached to the tear strip, and the second end of the elongate member is securely attached to the closure cap.
A packaging system comprising:
- a container having at least two compartments and an opening in communication with at least one of the at least two compartments, each of said compartments being adapted for holding a substance;
- a closure cap adapted for sealing engagement with the opening of the container;
- a common wall partitioning each of the compartments from one another;
- a tear strip extending along at least a portion of the common wall wherein the separation of the tear strip from the common wall will cause the compartments to become conjoined to yield a volume in which the substances can mix;
- and
- an elongate member having first and second ends, the first end of said elongate member being attached to the tear strip, and the second end of said elongate member is attached to the closure cap.
