Abstract
A device for packaging at least one product may include at least one compartment for containing at least one product, at least one passage, and at least one component. The at least one component may be at least partially elastically compressible and disposed in the at least one passage. The device may further include a pressurization portion configured to generate, in response to a manual activation, a fluid pressurization applied to the at least one component. The device may be configured so that the fluid pressurization is applied to the at least one component in at least two opposing directions so as to cause a reduction in volume of the at least one component and at least partial opening of the passage.
Claims57
A device for packaging at least one product, the device comprising:
- at least one compartment for containing at least one product;
- at least one passage;
- at least one component, the at least one component being at least partially elastically compressible and disposed in the at least one passage;
- and
- a pressurization portion configured to generate, in response to a manual activation, a fluid pressurization applied to the at least one component,
- wherein the device is configured so that the fluid pressurization is applied to the at least one component in at least two opposing directions so as to cause a reduction in volume of the at least one component and at least partial opening of the passage.
A device for extemporaneous mixing of at least two products, the device comprising:
- a first compartment containing at least one first product;
- a second compartment containing at least one second product and being configured to be disposed at least partially on top of the first compartment;
- and
- at least one separating component configured to move from a first position in which the separating component substantially isolates the first product from the second product, to a second position in which contact of the first product and the second product with one another is enabled,
- wherein the device is configured so that movement of the separating component from the first position to the second position results from a pressurization generated in one of the first compartment and the second compartment, and
- wherein the device is configured so that the first separating component, when moved from the first position to the second position, is displaced toward the one of the first compartment and the second compartment in which the pressurization is generated.
A device for packaging at least one product, the device comprising:
- at least one compartment configured to contain at least one product and to, be associated with a pressurization portion;
- at least one passage configured to be in flow communication with the compartment and the pressurization portion;
- and
- at least one component being at least partially elastically compressible and being disposed in the at least one passage,
- wherein the device is configured so that at least one dimension of the component becomes reduced in response to pressurization generated by the pressurization portion so as to enable movement of the component from a first position located in the passage to a second position located remote from the passage and the compartment.
