A formulation dispensing device can include a cartridge receptacle to accommodate and/or secure a beverage ingredient cartridge and permit contents within the cartridge to flow into a bottle or beverage container. Additionally, a formulation dispensing device can include a drink through valve that can permit mixed contents from a beverage container to flow through the drink through valve and be consumed. For example, the formulation dispensing device can include ingredients that can be added to a range of different drinks, including sports drinks, dietary drinks, and as a critical life supporting drinks in humanitarian situations. The formulation dispensing device can also include a lid configured to pivot between open and closed positions and can seal the dispensing device which allows the beverage container to be inverted during consumption without leakage through the first aperture.

A two-component pressurized can having a body, a dome, a valve arranged in the dome, an inwardly curved bottom, an upper chamber and a lower chamber for a first and a second component, which chamber are separated from one another by a separating element, and an opening device which is arranged in the bottom, can be activated from outside and, upon actuation, removes the separation between the chambers for the first and second component, wherein the separating element between the chambers is a piston which is mounted so as to be displaceable in the pressurized can and which has at least one opening closed by a closure element, and the opening device has an opening element which extends through a passage in the bottom and is suitable for separating the closure element from the at least one opening of the piston.

An individual package opening aid removably or integrally attachable at an opening of a container containing a receiving substance to aid opening of an individual package containing a portion of a mixing substance includes a support that covers the opening of the container and receives the individual package, a guide port in a middle of the support to connect to the opening, a holder that is cylindrical and erect at a rim of the support, and a securing ring that is cylindrical or that is a ring having a thickness and to be screwed on an inner surface of the holder and press the individual package against the support at an end surface of the securing ring to secure the individual package.

The disclosed technology includes dispensing systems, devices, and methods. The dispensing systems include a plurality of sealing components, and a plurality of coupling mechanisms. In one embodiment, a dispensing device, including a first unit having a top wall and an inner cylindrical projection extending from a bottom face of the top wall and a second unit having an outer cylinder, is adapted to be received by a receptacle. The inner cylinder receives the inner cylindrical projection and the outer cylinder receives the receptacle. A breakable seal closes an opening of the inner cylinder to form a chamber portion for storing a substance. Protruding seals on the inner cylindrical projection bear on the inner cylinder. An application of force to the top wall lowers the inner cylindrical projection to disrupt the breakable seal and release the substance into the receptacle to mix with a liquid stored in the receptacle.

The invention relates to a concentrated product storage cartridge for a diluting and dispensing container, comprising an external body, with an open lower end having a closing edge on the lower end thereof; and on the opposite end, there are flaps extending above the cylindrical tube of the external body, comprising a quick-coupling means; an opening for accessing the inner region thereof, where is placed an internal plunger, forming a filling region; and, on the upper end thereof, having quick-coupling means to be attached to the cover of cartridge. Said cover comprises upper ring flaps, arranged in order to interlock with the quick-coupling means of the internal plunger, forming a single assembly with an opening that can engage with the flaps of the external body, which are mounted in a way to provide displacement mobility in both directions downwards and upwards in relation to the internal plunger head.

A blender for blending ingredients from a container with a fluid includes a bottle including a chamber with an opening to receive the fluid and a shoulder about the opening. The blender further includes a lid configured to couple with the bottle that includes a container receiver. The container receiver is configured to receive the container containing the ingredients and position the container against the shoulder when the lid is coupled to the bottle, wherein the shoulder is configured to have a shape and size to receive and seat the container. The container receiver is further configured to apply pressure to the container while the shoulder holds the container stationary to discharge the ingredients from the container into the chamber.

A blender system includes a blender including a bottle having a chamber, and a lid configured to couple with the bottle, the lid having a container receiver. The blender system also includes a container having a nutrient receptacle to receive contents with a closed end, a receptacle opening opposite the closed end, and at least one flap coupled to the nutrient receptacle via a flap hinge and positioned in a closed position to cover a portion of the receptacle opening. The container receiver is configured to position the container such that coupling the lid to the bottle with the container in the container receiver causes the at least one flap to rotate on the flap hinge to an open position to discharge the contents into the blending chamber.

A container includes a receptacle to hold nutrients and other food contents for a smoothie. The container is used with a larger vessel such as a blender into which the capsule is inserted and into which water or other fluid is poured. When the blender is closed, the container opens to release its contents for blending with the fluid into a delicious, healthful smoothie. The container may have a cover with opening flaps and relatively movable elements that pivot the flaps open when opposite forces are applied to the container by the larger vessel.

The present disclosure provides secure storage containers, e.g., which may be used as a vessel to store and/or transport medication, controlled substances, and other materials.

A portable bubble water bottle of the present application includes a first space, a second space, an one-way gas valve and a gas cylinder. The second space is located in the first space along the first projection direction. The one-way gas valve connects the first space with the second space. The gas cylinder is located in the second space, and has a gas outlet connected to the one-way gas valve.
