Multi-chamber container and cap therefor

A method of assembling parts of a cap, comprising:

• assembling a cap body, a plunger and a dispenser tip;
• the cap body being of one piece construction and including a bore;
• the plunger being of a rigid construction and including a hollow portion, a lid forming a closed end and an open end;
• the plunger and lid being formed of one piece;
• assembling the plunger and cap body so that the plunger is capable of being moved within the bore of the cap between a first position and a second position, and the plunger forms with the cap body, at least a portion of a chamber to receive at least one component so that an open end of the plunger can be located in the chamber;
• and
• assembling the dispensing tip with the cap body, the dispensing tip including apertures and being assembled with the cap body so that the dispensing tip is associated with a lower portion of the cap body and forms a closed end at a lower portion of the bore to form a seal resistant to passage of air and moisture with the cap body, and the dispensing tip is movable to an open position breaking the seal so that the at least one component can flow through the apertures.

A method of manufacturing parts of a cap, comprising:

• manufacturing a cap body, the cap body being of one piece construction and including a bore;
• manufacturing a plunger, the plunger being of a rigid construction and including a hollow portion, a lid forming a closed end and an open end;
• the plunger and lid being formed of one piece;
• the plunger and cap body being manufactured so that the plunger is capable of being moved within the bore of the cap body between a first position and a second position, and the plunger is adaptable to form, with the cap body, at least a portion of a chamber to receive at least one component so that an open end of the plunger can be located in the chamber;
• manufacturing a dispensing tip capable of being associated with a lower portion of the cap body and forming a closed end at a lower portion of the bore to form a seal resistant to passage of air and moisture with the cap body, and the dispensing tip being adaptable to be movable to the second position breaking the seal so that the at least one component can flow from the chamber;
• and
• manufacturing a tear strip which is capable of providing a compression barrier in order to maintain the lid in the first position and providing tamper evidence by providing a visible indication once the tear strip is removed.
