Definitions

  • the present invention relates to containers and more particularly but not exclusively to beverage containers particularly bottles. Background of the invention
  • beverages including soft drinks, merely contain the liquid to be consumed. If a material is to be added to the liquid, this can only be done after the bottle cap has been removed, and more than likely the contents delivered into a container for mixing.
  • Australian patent application no. 19972/97 discloses a bottle cap which can be used to store a soluble tablet until it is desirable to mix the tablet with the liquid contents of the bottle.
  • the bottle cap consists of a closeable cover located around the mouth of the bottle having a breakable seal adjacent to the mouth of the bottle and which seals the liquid content of the bottle.
  • a soluble tablet is positioned above the breakable seal within the bottle cap and is covered with an upper foil cover.
  • the soluble tablet When it is desired that the soluble tablet be mixed with the content of the bottle, pressure is applied to the upper foil cover which causes the soluble tablet to press against the breakable seal, thereby causing it to rupture. Consequently, the tablet is mixed with the content of the bottle.
  • a disadvantage of this bottle cap is that the tablets must be located solely within the bottle cap of the bottle. Hence, the tablets must be supplied and manufactured with the bottle cap, rather than being sold as separate discrete items.

  • the top membrane also includes or comprises a fluid impervious foil material.
  • the rupturable membrane includes or comprises a fluid impervious foil material.
  • the rupturable membrane includes lines of weakness.
  • closure member is provided with a tamper evident device, or a locking or retaining band or cap which prevents the actuation means from being actuated unless the locking or retaining band or cap is first disengaged or removed.
  • the actuation means is a button attached to the closure member at one end by a hinge, and at the other by a moveable end.
  • the moveable end includes one or more breakable tabs.
  • actuation of the actuation means is applied by one of the following: manually; hydraulically; pneumatically; mechanically..

  • the body 11 terminates at its upper end with a threaded neck 12 to which there is secured a cap assembly 13.
  • the cap assembly 13 includes a second substance 14 to be delivered to the interior of the body 1 1 so that the second substance 14 can dissolve, or interact in some other way with the first substance contained in the body 11.
  • the cap assembly 13 includes a closure body 22 having a threaded skirt 15 threadably engaged with the threaded neck 12.
  • the upper extremities of the skirt 15 are formed integral with an annular flange 16 surrounding a central aperture 16A which will be closed by a capsule or cartridge 17A (hereinafter referred to as "capsule 17A").
  • the capsule 17A is an assembly of a housing 20 which provides a generally cylindrical chamber 19 therein to receive the second substance 14 (which may also be a combination of substances).

  • the housing 20 is resiliently and/or plastically deformable or flexible so that a user may thereby engage either the second substance or the membrane 17 to apply a pressure, or force, to cause the membrane 17 to rupture. This enables delivery of the second substance to the interior of the body 1 1.
  • the housing 20 can be manufactured from any appropriate material such as: polymers; composites; laminates, laminates of plastic and metal foil; laminates of plastic and wax; materials which are transparent or translucent or opaque, or appropriate combinations of any of these.
  • the material chosen must be such that it will not react with the second substance to be located in the housing 20.
  • the membrane 17 can also be manufactured from any appropriate rupturable material such as, for example metal foil; plastics sheet, polymeric sheet, paper; waxed paper etc. or appropriate combinations of any of these.
  • the material selected must be such that it will not react with the first substance in bottle 10 (or its vapours) which it will contact on one side, and on its other side, it should not react with the second substance located in the housing 20.

  • the flange 20B will be die cut so as to form a number of locating ears or tabs or similar closure body engaging formations around the periphery as shown in Fig 2A. These ears or tabs function to retain the capsule 17 A in the closure body 22 before and after dispensing the contents in the bottle 10.
  • One benefit of this is to avoid the use of adhesives or other attachment methods to connect the capsule 17A to the closure body 22.
  • the flange 20B of the capsule 17 A acts as a wad or gasket to seal the opening in the bottle 10 in conjunction with the closure body 22.
  • the ears or tabs are die cut therein, it will be necessary to ensure that the flange 20B has a continuous surface corresponding to the location of the rim of the bottle and adjacent the flange 16 on closure body 22, so that the flange 20B can fulfil its wad, seal or gasket function.
  • the die cut ears or tabs facilitate handling of the assembly of the capsule 17A and body closure 22 during bottle filling.
  • a further benefit is by not being retained as part of the bottle, ie. fused to the neck opening, it thereby does not become a contaminant in the recycling of the bottle.
  • the 10 capsule 17A can be readily detached from the closure body 22 when necessary such as if the closure body 22 were to be recycled.
  • the separateness of the capsule 17A from both the bottle and closure body 22 also offers versatility in loading of capsule 17A and subsequent loading of capsule 17A into closure body 22.
  • the capsule 17A would be attached directly over the can opening via a foil closure, the diaphragm 17 of the capsule 17A then possibly forming a direct seal of the can opening or, alternatively, indirectly contributing to the sealing of the can by lying immediately above and in contact with a puncture portion of the foil closure and act as the seal.
  • the capsule 17 A After delivery of the contents of capsule 17 A contents to the can, the capsule 17 A would be peeled away to reveal the opening and make consumption of the resultant admixture through the opening possible
  • Any vessel capable of holding a liquid or other component of an admixture could have a capsule 17 A assembly attached either by directly fusing the separate capsule 17A to the vessel or fitting a flanged and threaded neck and corresponding closure body 22 containing a capsule 17A through an opening in any part of the main body of the container.
  • the container could be a cardboard package which has attached thereto a capsule containing for example seeds in a sterile environment to protect the seeds.
  • a capsule containing for example seeds in a sterile environment to protect the seeds.
  • Inside the container could be located potting mix or enriched soil.
  • the seed will be ejected into the soil or potting mix.
  • the carton and seedling can be placed in soil.
  • the carton is preferably of the bio degradable type, it will degrade creating an optimum environment for the seedling to grow into a plant in the ground.
  • One of the advantages of the use of the capsule and the invention is the ability to keep separate and sterile the second substance. This could give the products a long shelf life.
  • this space is preferably occupied by air or a gas. This will allow the second substance to proceed into the container to mix or otherwise interact with the first substance. In some circumstances such a space will not necessarily assist in the transfer of the second substance to the first, such as when both the first and second substances are liquids.
  • FIG 8 there is an exploded view of a container 70 for mixing a first substance and a second substance (not shown).
  • the container comprises a vessel in the form of bottle 72 containing liquid water (refer to waterline 1 12 on figure 9) having a neck 74 which defines an opening in the form 1 1 of mouth 80.
  • the neck 74 is provided with a male thread 76 for engagement with a cooperant female thread (feature 104 on figure 9), provided on a closure member in the form of cap 78.
  • the container 70 further includes a cartridge 82 which is adapted to be located within the mouth 80.
  • the cartridge 82 has a rupturable membrane in the form of aluminium foil membrane 84, a body in the form of cartridge body 86 and a top cover in the form of top foil 88.
  • the cartridge body 82 is of cylindrical shape and has an integrally formed flange 90 on its outer circumference which allows the cartridge to nest upon the neck 74.
  • the top foil or seal 88 could be, if the substance is hydroscopic, made of aluminium or other appropriate metal foil. Whereas if the substance is not hydroscopic, the membrane or seal 88 can be made of a flexible material which does not break and which maintains a liquid tight seal, when stretched within the limits of operation of the container 70.
  • a laminate of metal foil and flexible material can be provided, whereby the foil will rupture when the seal 88 is stretched during release of the substance, but the flexible membrane will not. Such an option may be required as some substances will absorb moisture vapour through polymeric materials, and if a metal foil is not included some substances will have their shelf life decreased.
  • the cartridge body 82 has a plurality of lobe members 92 integrally formed upon the surface of the flange 90 and extending around the circumference of the cartridge body 86 in equally spaced arrangement.
  • the lobes 92 are able to engage with cooperant recesses 91 (refer to fig 9) formed within the inner housing of the cap 78, so as to assist the cartridge 82 to engage with the cap 78.
  • a cavity 94 which is able to receive and store a second substance such as a soluble tablet (not shown) whist the container is in use.
  • a second substance such as a soluble tablet (not shown) whist the container is in use.
  • FIG 8A is another cartridge of the same form as cartridge 82, however this cartridge happens to have a larger cartridge body 86 so that among other things, it can store greater quantities of the second substance if required.
  • an actuation means in the form of button 98 Upon the top surface of the cap 78, there is provided an actuation means in the form of button 98.
  • the cap 78 can include a tamper evident band around the region 96 which will be damaged and the damage visible if the button 98 has been moved since manufacture.
  • a retaining band or cap may be used around the cap 78 which must first be removed before the button 98 can be activated. This ensures that the integrity of whatever substances are contained within the cap 78 and bottle 72, is maintained.
  • FIG 9 there is shown a cross section of the container 70 of Figure 8 in assembled form, with the cartridge 82 containing a second substance 100 in the form of a soluble powder shown by 12 broken and straight lines.
  • the content of the bottle 72 which is shown by water line 1 12.
  • the cartridge 82 nests within the neck 74 of bottle 72, and the flange 90 is located adjacent to the top of the neck 102.
  • the cap 78 has a female thread 104 to engage the male thread 76, so that the cap 78, cartridge 82 and the bottle 72 are in close fitting arrangement with each other.
  • the close fitting arrangement can be such that there is a seal formed between the cartridge 82 and the mouth 80, which prevents the ingress of foreign matter into the bottle 72.
  • the button 98 is attached to the cap 78 via a hinge 106 and at an opposite end it is connected by a moveable joint 108.
  • a moveable joint 108 There is only a small amount of plastic at joint 108 which connects the button 98 to cap 78 so as to enable the application of pressure, such as by a person using their thumb to break the joint 108 and move the button 98 in the direction of arrow 1 10. Breakage of the moveable joint 108 further indicates that the container 70 has been tampered with.
  • a retaining band or cap if present needs to be removed and then a force is applied to button 98 which breaks the moveable joint 108.
  • the button 98 moves towards the cartridge 82 (as shown by arrow 110) until the lower portion of button 98 makes contact with top foil 88.
  • the top foil 88 deforms under the application of force from button 98 and the force is transmitted through to the soluble powder 100, causing the bottom foil 84 to rupture.
  • the powder 100 is released from cavity 94 into the liquid water 112 and the two substances are thereby mixed.
  • FIG 10 there is shown an embodiment similar to that of Figure 9, however in this embodiment there is shown a piercing element in the form of an annular cutting member 114.
  • This cutting member assists the breakage of the bottom foil 84 by piercing the bottom foil 84. This is particularly advantageous for when substances such as liquids are contained within cavity 94 so that the liquid may flow out.
  • the cartridge 86 can be used to seal the neck 74 with the bottom foil 84 forming part of the seal. In such an arrangement the cartridge 86 effectively "corks" the bottle 72 with the cap 78 maintaining the corking force on the cartridge 86.
  • FIG. 1 there is shown another version of the cartridge 82 containing a soluble vitamin tablet 118, however in this version, instead of a cutting member 114 as used in the version of figure 10, there is a series of puncture prongs 1 16 that are connected to the wall of the cartridge 82 at hinge 120.
  • each of the prongs 116 are able to move (as shown by the arrow in phantom) and rupture the bottom foil 84 so as to create a series of piercings therein, thus forming a line or points of weakness.
  • the advantage of this configuration is that only a very small force need be applied to the 13 button 98 so as to allow the tablet 118 to pass through bottom foil 84.
  • the four equally spaced prongs located around the periphery of cavity 94 require a reduced amount of force in order to cut a hole through the bottom foil 84.
  • FIG. 13 14 and 15 there is shown yet another embodiment similar to that of Figure 8 with like parts being like numbered to the parts of figure 8.
  • the cartridges 82 of figures 13, 14 and 15 differ from that of fig 8 in that they are fitted to nest within the cap and not to the mouth of the bottle 72 and does not contact the bottle 72.
  • the cartridge 82 includes a chamfered edge 82A, which allows the cartridge 82 to easily push past barb shaped flange 86A on cap 86.
  • the cartridge 82 is pushed into cap 86, with the top surface 86B engaging a stop or stops 86B on cap 86. Once this happens a shoulder 82C on the cap 82 has passed the flange 86A thus preventing the cartridge 82 from disengaging from cap 86.
  • the button 98 is made from an extendible membrane 98A which will remain intact and sealed even when stretched. Adhered to membrane 98A is a relatively rigid disc 98B which will allow a substantially even pressure to be exerted onto the contents of cartridge 82.
  • the cartridge 82 in the version of figure 13 extends into the neck 80 of bottle 72. Whereas the embodiment of figure 15 is relatively less extensive. This difference in extension can be varied according to the type of substance contained by cartridge 82.
  • the invention can be used for a number of substances to be mixed together.
  • the substance within bottle 72 may be milk and the soluble substance held within cavity 94 might be chocolate powder, coffee powder, or tea.
  • the substance within cavity 94 may be still water and the soluble substance within cavity 94 could be medicine or vitamins.
  • the substance within cavity 94 does not necessarily have to be a soluble substance, it may be an insoluble substance such as for example cereals which could be directly transferred to milk held within the vessel 72.
  • One advantage of such instant delivery is the fact that the delivery can take place without any contaminants coming into contact with the capsule.
  • an advantage of having the capsule or cartridge in place of the means by which substances were transferred in their prior art is that the capsule can be sold as a separate item and simply added to the bottle 70 used in conjunction with the cap.
  • Such an application might also include carbon dioxide gas which could be used to be injected into the contents of a bottle so that the contents becomes carbonated.
  • a hydraulic or pneumatic means could be provide such as a reservoir of fluid (not illustrated), which has communicable passage with the top membrane of the cartridge, so that when the reservoir is 14 squeezed, there will be applied a required force to rupture the rupturable membrane.
  • the version of figure 1 requires direct application, while the version of figures 8 to 15 require a mechanical interaction.
  • precooked foods such as lasagne and parmesan, meal with gravy, pre cooked pasta and fresh sauce, salads and dressing; yoghurt and fruit; yoghurt and cereal; a breakfast kit; ice cream and fruit and or nuts or topping; hair colours; horticulture; carbonated or still drinks; sports drink; milk drinks; alcoholic cocktails; medicinal and herbal uses to deliver sterile product to disaster and relief areas; baby formula; tomato juice with additives such as salt, pepper, tabasco etc.
