Description

The invention relates to a two-section container for two components that must be stored in isolation from each other, but mixed after opening the container, and can be used in the chemical, food, pharmaceutical and medical industries. The main scope of this invention is prophylactic and special, for example, baby food.

Known container with inner and outer compartments, which contains a housing with an inner compartment in the form of a vessel with a lid filled with liquid food product, an outer compartment with a lid and placed in it a non-liquid food product in sealed packaging. The compartment is made in the form of a cavity inside the side protrusion of the housing and when packaging the product is closed with a lid of rigid packaging material, mounted on the wall of the side protrusion along the edge of the compartment. The container may have an element of autonomous heating or cooling of the liquid food product built into the bottom of the body, or a separately made electric heater of the liquid food product in the form of a stand for the container with power from the vehicle’s onboard power supply. The proposed design allows optimal use of the capacity of the outer and inner compartments / RU 2278806, B65D 1/10, 2006 /.

The disadvantages of the container include, firstly, the inconvenience of use, which consists in the fact that to prepare the mixture, it is necessary to open two compartments, remove the package with the dry product from the inner compartment, open it and pour the contents into the outer compartment. Then close the outer compartment, shake the mixture, and then open the outer compartment for food intake. With all these manipulations, the loss of sterility of the components is possible.

Closest to the claimed technical essence is a container intended for two components that must be stored in isolation from each other and mixed with each other only after opening the container / RU 2126356, B65D 81/32, 1999 /. The container includes an external container for the first component provided with a threaded neck. The capsule for the second component is located inside the outer container and continues into the threaded neck of the outer container. The closure cap has a first ratchet means directed downward from its base and engages with a second ratchet means on the top of the capsule. The closing lid can be screwed onto the neck of the container without rotating the top of the capsule. The stops formed on the capsule and the inner wall of the container exclude the possibility of rotation of the lower part of the capsule. As a result of this, when the cover is unscrewed, a torque is created on the capsule and its upper part rotates together with the cover. A release means, for example a screw thread, is formed in the capsule to release the contents of the capsule after the application of the aforementioned torque. The container is convenient in operation and allows to exclude the entry of the concentrated substance in the capsule into the environment. However, the design of the packaging is cumbersome and its use is difficult for the use of sterile components. These shortcomings practically exclude the possibility of using the specified technical solution in the food, pharmaceutical and medical industries.

The problem solved by the invention is to create containers for two components, devoid of these disadvantages.

To solve this problem, a container for two components is proposed, including a container with a threaded neck filled with a liquid product and a capsule with a concentrated product located in the container lid. A distinctive feature of the claimed packaging is that the container lid is made of two parts that form the inner space of the capsule. The first of which is made in the form of a prefabricated glass, the bottom of which is closed by a membrane made of a material impervious to concentrated and liquid products, the wall of the glass covers the neck of the container from two sides and is screwed onto the neck. The second in the form of two coaxially arranged pipe sections, united by a common end section, is connected to the first so that the inner pipe section is located inside the glass, and the outer pipe section is located outside the glass. The first and second parts are interconnected by means of a spline connection with the possibility of axial movement. Moreover, the lid is equipped with a two-position locking mechanism, and the inner tube section is equipped with a sharp edge for opening the capsule.

In addition, it is proposed to equip the container with a control and protective film made of heat-shrink material that combines the lid and neck.

In addition, it is proposed that the two-position locking mechanism be made in the form of an annular protrusion located on the outer surface of the first part and two annular grooves located on the inner surface of the outer tube section of the second part, forming the inner space of the capsule.

In addition, it is proposed to equip the first and second parts of the container lid with sealing sections made, for example, in the form of conical surfaces corresponding to each other.

The container lid is made of two parts forming the inner space of the capsule, the first of which is made in the form of a prefabricated glass, the bottom of which is closed with a membrane made of a material impervious to the concentrated product, the wall of the glass covers the neck of the container from two sides and is screwed onto the neck, and the second in the form two coaxially located pipe sections, united by a common end section, is connected to the first so that the inner pipe section is located inside the glass, and the outer pipe section laid on the outside of the cup, the first and second parts are interconnected by means of a spline connection with the possibility of axial movement, while the lid is equipped with a two-position locking mechanism, and the inner tube section is equipped with a sharp edge for opening the capsule, which allows the container to be compact and convenient to use, especially in food, pharmaceutical and medical industries, since containers are easily sterile and there is practically no possibility of loss of sterility of products during transport ovke and preparing for the reception inside the body.

Additional equipment of the container with a control and protective film made of heat-shrinkable material that combines the lid and the neck allows monitoring the integrity of the container and protecting it from accidental mixing of components.

The implementation of the two-position locking mechanism in the form of an annular protrusion placed on the outer surface of the first part, and two annular grooves located on the inner surface of the outer tube portion of the second part, forming the inner space of the capsule, allows to increase the compactness of the device.

Equipping the first and second parts of the container lid with sealing sections made, for example, in the form of conical surfaces that correspond to each other, makes it possible to give an additional degree of reliability in the sterility of the product after mixing the components.

Figure 1 presents the design of the inventive device in running order; figure 2 - device after mixing the components; figure 3 is a cross section along the neck and lid, where 1 is a container with a threaded neck 2, 3 is a liquid product, 4 is a capsule with a concentrated product, 5 is the first part of the container cover in the form of a collection cup, 6 is the bottom of the cup, closed a membrane made of a material impervious to a concentrated product, 7 — a glass wall, 8 — a second cover part, 9 — a spline connection, 10 — a sharp edge for opening a capsule, 11 — a safety-control film made of heat-shrinkable material, 12 — an annular protrusion, 13, 14 - annular grooves, 15, 16 - sealing other sections in the form of corresponding conical surfaces.

The device operates as follows. At the enterprise manufacturing products from two components, the liquid product 3 is poured into the container 1. At the same time, the lid is assembled, in which the first part of the lid 5 is connected to the second part of the lid 8 until the first click, while the annular protrusion 12 enters the annular groove 13 , and the spline connection 9 is engaged (figure 3). Then in the resulting glass carry out automatic filling of the concentrated product. Then the open hole of the glass is brewed with a membrane made of a material impervious to concentrated and liquid products, forming a bottom 6. Next, the lid is screwed onto the container 1 and fixed with a safety-protective film 11. The device is ready for use.

To prepare the mixture, the user removes the protective film 11 and presses the lid until the second click. When this annular protrusion 12 is included in the annular groove 14, at the same time, the sharp edge 10 partially destroys the bottom of the glass 6 (figure 2), the dry product pours out into the container 1, and the sealing sections 15 and 16 come into contact.
