A mixing cup for mixing and dispensing a mixed beverage is described. The mixing cup is designed to attach externally to a primary container that holds a primary liquid. The mixing cup contains a secondary liquid in fluid separation from the primary liquid until the two liquids are mixed, as a result of the user drawing the primary liquid from the primary container, in a mixing chamber of the mixing cup and the mixture is dispensed to the user. The flow of the secondary liquid into the mixing chamber may be adjustable by the user.

The present invention may be configured to comprise: a drinking water tray comprising a lower tray which has an open top and a closed bottom to form a storage space for storing drinking water or a beverage therein, and an upper tray which is detachably coupled to the top of the lower tray to close the open top of the lower tray and has a drinking aperture formed therein to enable a user to drink the drinking water or beverage in the storage space; an additive tray which is detachably coupled to the bottom of the drinking water tray, and has an additive storage space for storing an additive formed therein; and a pumping unit which is mounted to penetrate through the drinking water tray and the additive tray so as to pump the additive and supply same to a drinking water storage space. According to the above, the drinking water tray having the drinking water stored therein is detachably coupled to the additive tray, which is capable of keeping and storing a liquid type additive, such that the liquid additive may easily be stored, a certain amount of the additive may be added to enable the user to easily make the beverage using the additive, and a leakage of the beverage to the outside is prevented by maintaining a sealed state such that sanitation may be improved.

A packaging system for a multi-component product preparation, having—a first container for storing a first product preparation component,—a second container for storing at least one second product preparation component and—a closure element sealing off the first container from the environment, having a coupling apparatus which couples the second container to the closure element and establishes a fluid connection between the first and the second containers. The closure element includes a closure cap which can be separated from the closure element along a predetermined break point to open the fluid connection between the first and the second containers, wherein the closure cap can be coupled to the second container being blocked in a direction of rotation about an axis of the closure element and has a thread mechanism of which the closure cap can be connected to the first container by a thread of the first container.

A packaging system for at least one product preparation component, having a first container for storing a first product preparation component, a second container for storing at least one further product preparation component, and a closure device which seals off an opening in the first container from the environment by way of a closure element having a coupling apparatus to couple the second container to the closure device and establishes a fluid connection between the first container and the second container. The invention additionally relates to a method for handling at least one product preparation component. The aim of the invention is to ensure a reliable packaging system which allows a user-friendly handling of the contained product preparation components. The closure element and the coupling apparatus are joined together as separate components in a non-detachable manner forming the closure device.

A packaging system for a multi-component product preparation process, having: a first container for storing a first product preparation component, a second container for storing at least one second product preparation component, and a closure element which seals off the first container from the surroundings and has a coupling device in order to couple the second container to the closure element and in order to establish a fluidic connection between the first container and the second container. The closure element includes a closure cap which can be separated from the closure element along a predetermined breaking point in order to release the fluidic connection between the first container and the second container, wherein the closure cap can be coupled to the second container-so as to be blocked in a rotational direction about an axis of the closure element and movable in a direction parallel to the axis.

A device (10) for packaging at least one product and dispensing at least said product on a surface is provided, which comprises at least one container (12) delimiting a product cavity (22) containing said at least one product and a dispensing member (14) mounted on said container (12). The dispensing member (14) has a first dispensing orifice (24b) in flow communication with the product cavity (22), said container (12) has a neck (18) allowing access to the product cavity (22), said dispensing member (14) comprises a dispensing duct (24) in flow communication with the product cavity (22). An assembly skirt (30) radially surrounds said dispensing duct (24), and an annular sealing lip (32) is radially disposed between said dispensing duct (24) and said assembly skirt (30), said annular sealing lip (32) bears radially against a sealing portion (18c) of the neck (18) of the container (12). Said sealing portion (18c) is located axially away from an opened end of the neck (18).

Device (10) for packaging at least one product and dispensing at least said product on a surface and comprising at least one container (14) delimiting a product cavity (24a) containing said at least one product and having a dispensing closure (26) designed to be separated from the container (14) for first use of said device in order to open a first dispensing orifice (24b) in flow communication with the product cavity (24a). Said device comprises an application member (40) mounted on the at least one container (14) having at least two rows (44b, 44d) of elastically deformable application teeth (44) arranged on both side of the dispensing closure (26) and extending outwardly from said at least one container (14), said application teeth (44) being each inclined towards the longitudinal axis (X-X′) of the first dispensing orifice (24b), and at least a plurality of teeth of the said rows (44b, 44d) of teeth are deformed in a stressed position by the contact with the dispensing closure (26) and configured to return elastically in a rest position when the dispensing closure (26) is removed, in said rest position, the teeth are more inclined towards the longitudinal axis (X-X′) of the first dispensing orifice (24b) then in the stressed position.

The invention relates to a recipient comprising a reservoir, the reservoir having a bottom wall comprising an opening; a central element arranged at the opening of the reservoir; a socket arranged to surround the central element; wherein both the socket and the central element show a lower end and an upper end, and are connected by their respective upper ends by means of a disc with a central aperture, wherein the assembly comprising the socket, the central element and the disc is forming a ring that comes into one piece; in that at least a part of the bottom wall of the reservoir is arranged to face the disc and in that the reservoir is irreversibly fixed to the ring.

An assembly including a container having a first end and an opposing second end. The assembly also includes a housing for removably receiving a cartridge of the type including a substance storage compartment for storing a substance therein. The housing is connectable to the second end of the container. When connected to the container, the housing is movable relative to the container. A rupturing device is provided for rupturing the storage compartment upon relative movement between the housing and container, so as to combine any storage compartment contents with any container contents. The rupturing device is mounted within the container. A container opening is provided in the first end of the container; and a closure provided for sealing the container opening. The closure is movable between a closed position, and an open position for providing access to the container.

A connecting system for providing a fluidic connection, preferably between containers, wherein the connecting system has at least two connecting arrangements configured to provide the fluidic connection, namely a first connecting arrangement and a second connecting arrangement, each of which is fluidically sealed in an initial state, wherein the first connecting arrangement has, in particular, an opening region that is deformable outside the opening region and is configured such that deformation causes the first connecting arrangement to open in the opening region.
