GB2327408A — Dual compartment dispensing apparatus

USPTO Abstract

A dispensing apparatus 1 for storing two components prior to mixing comprises a first container 2 with an outlet 5 or 27, a second container 7 located within the first container, and attachment means 20 for releasably securing the second container to the first container. The second container may be released by manipulating an externally accessible part of the first container, for instance by rotating a screw-threaded or push-fit closure member 6 about a first axis, the second container being secured to the member at a point off-set from the first axis, and being released by engagement with an obstruction 26 in the first container. Alternatively, at least a part of the first container may be flexible so that an internal part of the first container can contact and release the second container. The second container may be attached to the first container via an O-ring 24, and may cover the outlet 27 which may be used to fill the second container.
