Definitions

  • This invention relates to a container for beverages and specifically for alcoholic "mixed drinks”.
  • mixed drink will be used to describe a drink having two components mixed together, at least one of which is alcoholic, for example a drink such as whisky and soda; gin and tonic; MARTINI (Registered Trade Mark) and lemonade; or brandy and dry ginger ale.
  • alcoholic for example a drink such as whisky and soda; gin and tonic; MARTINI (Registered Trade Mark) and lemonade; or brandy and dry ginger ale.
  • MARTINI Registered Trade Mark
  • lemonade or brandy and dry ginger ale.
  • brandy and dry ginger ale brandy and dry ginger ale.
  • the non-alcoholic component will be referred to as the "mixer”.
  • US-A-2412833 describes a container having a dispensing cap into which a small container is threaded so as to lie within the dispensing cap. An external closure on top of the cap can be opened to give automatic simultaneous access to the liquids contained in the main and secondary containers.
  • the container is intended for simultaneously dispensing flavouring and fruit juice.
  • a jar type container has a number of concentric internal dividers for separately containing different liquids of unspecified type. These internally divided compartments can have separate closures or a single closure for all the compartments.
  • the alcoholic component usually a spirit, is an expensive liquid and is supplied in small quantities. These quantities, under International Law, are precisely measured. The user will therefore want to dispense all of the alcoholic component from the container.
  • the invention provides a container comprising;
  • the invention provides a container comprising an inner container portion, an outer container portion and closure means with a separator between the inner and outer container portions, the inner container being secured to the separator which is itself secured to the outer container portion;
  • the invention further provides the container according to either of the two preceding paragraphs wherein the neck of the inner container portion is snap engaged by the separator which is itself snap engaged beneath the neck of the outer container portion.
  • a container is shown at 20 and comprises an outer container portion 21 and an inner container portion 22.
  • Each of the container portions 21 and 22 is made of a synthetic plastics material which is such as to be capable of withstanding the internal pressure of a carbonated drink without damage.
  • the base 23 of the outer container portion 21 is indented for extra strength and rigidity.
  • a closure assembly is provided, generally indicated at 24.
  • This closure assembly comprises two parts, which are shown in more detail in Figures 2 to 5.
  • closure assembly 24 One part of the closure assembly 24 is an outer screw closure cap 25, which is preferably provided with a crimped seal to ensure that the contents of the container are not tampered with after filling, until finally used.
  • the closure cap 25 is shown in Figures 4 and 5 and is internally screw-threaded at 26. Grip-improving formations 27 are provided around its periphery.
  • the closure cap 25 is screwed onto a corresponding screw-thread provided externally on a neck 28 of the outer container portion 21.
  • the inner container portion 22 is nested concentrically within the outer container portion 21 and seats on the indented base 23.
  • the top opening 29 of the inner container portion 22 is closed off only by the outer screw closure cap 25 as shown in Figure 1.
  • An inner, generally annular separator 30 surrounds a neck 31 of the inner container portion 22.
  • This separator is shown in more detail in Figures 2 and 3 of the drawings.
  • the neck 31 has an outwardly-directed annular rib 32, which is snap-engaged by an inwardly-directed annular lip 33 on the separator 30.
  • the separator 30 is snap-engaged around the neck 31 of the inner container portion 22.
  • This sub-assembly is then inserted into the outer container portion 21.
  • An outwardly-directed annular flange 34 of the separator can be snap-engaged beneath the neck 28 of the outer container portion 21, to complete assembly of the container.
  • the inner container portion 22 has a substantially smaller volume than the space remaining between itself and the outer container portion 21.
  • the inner container portion is filled with an alcoholic component of a mixer drink, and the remaining space of the outer container portion is filled with a mixer.
  • the separator 30 is provided with a plug-type seal 35, shown in Figure 3. This is only accessible after the outer screw cap 25 has been removed.
  • the sealed container 20 can be carried and sold as a unit, for example on aeroplanes or trains, in buffets at transport centres, in fast-food restaurants or in ordinary liquor retail outlets.
  • the seal is firstly broken and the screw cap 25 removed. This allows the spirits or other alcoholic component in the inner container portion to be poured out.
  • the plug-type seal 35 is pulled out of the separator 30 and as much of the mixer drink as required by personal taste is poured out of the outer container portion.
  • Figure 6 of the drawings shows a further version of the container, similar in many respects to that of Figures 1 to 5, but with the inner container portion containing the carbonated mixer component of the beverage. Because of the carbonation of this component, it may be advisable to use this arrangement, to avoid distortion of the assembly between the introduction of the carbonated mixer component and that of the alcoholic component, which could occur if the alcoholic component is housed in a flexible-walled container portion within the container portion housing the mixer.
  • the outer container portion 40 has an indentation 41 in its base, to provide a seating 42 for the inner container portion 43.
  • the latter is larger than the inner portion of the previously-described embodiment, since it is generally required that the mixer should be supplied in larger quantities than the alcoholic component.
  • the carbonated mixer component is filled into the inner container portion 43, which is then closed off with a closure cap 44.
  • the outer container portion 40 is then filled with the alcoholic component through a filler hole in a separator 45, which mounts the inner and outer container portions 40 and 43 relative to each other in a manner similar to that used in the previously-described embodiment.
  • outer cap 46 which is internally screw-threaded to cooperate with mating external threads on the neck of the outer container portion.
  • a seal may also be applied to the cap to comply with Customs regulations.
