A dispensing closure system includes an upper closure portion and a lower closure portion including an axial flow conduit and a vent conduit. The upper closure portion is axially movable relative to lower closure portion between shipping and dispensing positions. A seal is disposed on the lower closure portion over the flow and vent conduits. A peripheral spacing strip is removably secured to the upper closure portion and engages with either the lower closure or the outside of the container to prevent movement. A piercing probe includes piercing elements in alignment with the flow and vent conduits for piercing the seal. In the shipping position, the piercing elements are spaced from the seal. However, when the spacing strip is removed and the upper closure portion is axially moved to the dispensing position, the piercing elements pierce the seal to open the flow conduit and the vent conduit.

A cap for making a soft drink in a threaded bottle includes an inner cap, an outer cap and a flavor container. The inner cap has external threads and internal threads that match the threads of the mouth of the bottle, and the outer cap has internal threads that match the external threads of the inner cap. The cap includes a first releaser for opening the flavor container into the bottle when the cap is being screwed onto the mouth of the bottle. The cap further includes a carbon dioxide container and a second releaser for opening the carbon dioxide container into the bottle when the outer cap and the inner cap are being screwed relative to each other. The disclosed embodiments also relate to a method for making a soft drink.

Aspects and embodiments injection of supplements into drinks are described. In one embodiment, a cap includes a top of the cap having a button. A container is sealed using a sealing layer between the container and the top. A pushing element is in connection with a bottom surface of the button and further in connection with a top surface of the sealing layer. A breaking mechanism is sealed within the container along with a supplement. The breaking mechanism has breaking bars that extend from a central column that is aligned with the pushing element. When the button is depressed, the breaking mechanism breaks a bottom of the container to release at least some of the supplement.

The present invention relates to a dual-chamber pack with a first chamber comprising a container; and a second chamber comprising a reservoir, a biphasic connector, a plunger, and a plug with a breakable polymeric membrane. The container of the first chamber is prefilled with a pharmaceutically acceptable vehicle and the reservoir of the second chamber is prefilled with a solid composition of an active ingredient, wherein the solid composition of the active ingredient is mixed with the pharmaceutically acceptable vehicle to form a liquid pharmaceutical composition upon activation of the dual-chamber pack.

Disclosed is a system for producing a beverage, in particular a cold beverage, comprising a cartridge that has a reservoir filled with a beverage substance, a beverage preparation unit with a cartridge receptacle into which the cartridge can be reversibly inserted, and a cartridge discharge device which causes at least partial transfer of the beverage substance from the reservoir into a mixing chamber; furthermore, the beverage preparation unit comprises a fluid supply which opens into the mixing chamber, or the system includes a movable plunger which is placed inside the reservoir and can be transferred from a starting position into a final position by means of the cartridge discharge device.

A system for dispensing a mixture of a first product and a second product has a pump which presents a pump body that is intended to be connected to a bottle which contains the first product. The pump has a piston secured to a push button so as to be actuated in translatory motion in the body. The piston defines within the body a dosing chamber having a feeding inlet formed on a lower part of the body. The pump further has a lower check valve that is slidingly mounted in the dosing chamber between an upper opening position and a lower closing position of the feeding inlet. The system further has an additional container (attached to the body which is intended to contain the second product, an organ for opening the additional container being coupled with the check valve in order to, at least upon the first actuation of the pump, open the additional container by the movement of the lower check valve towards its closing position, the opening being configured for the mixing of the second product with the first product into the bottle.

Rotary closure includes a separately fillable capsule with a foil seal, for the insertion of this capsule into this rotary closure. The container attachment at the inside forms a downwardly projecting sleeve with an inwardly projecting edge region whose clear width is spanned at the bottom by a diametric saw blade which projects upwards with its cutting teeth. The capsule in the inside is firstly driven axially downwards on rotating the rotary closure cap and with its sealing foil is pressed over the saw blade, by which means it is diammetrically cut open. On further rotation, it lies on the lower inner edge of the inner-lying sleeve in the container attachment and is then rotated without an axial movement. The sealing foil is thereby cut open, and the foil pieces are gathered together in a corrugated manner.

A dispensing closure system includes an upper closure portion and a lower closure portion including an axial flow conduit and a vent conduit. The upper closure portion is axially movable relative to lower closure portion between shipping and dispensing positions. A seal is disposed on the lower closure portion over the flow and vent conduits. A peripheral spacing strip is removably secured to the upper closure portion and engages with either the lower closure or the outside of the container to prevent movement. A piercing probe includes piercing elements in alignment with the flow and vent conduits for piercing the seal. In the shipping position, the piercing elements are spaced from the seal. However, when the spacing strip is removed and the upper closure portion is axially moved to the dispensing position, the piercing elements pierce the seal to open the flow conduit and the vent conduit.

Present invention provides a compartment as bottled beverages cap for a formula of liquid or powder preparation which may be mixed-up easily with beverages inside of another bottle into a liquid composition. The user simply changes bottle beverage cap with a compartment according to present invention, expel the content into bottle with tear-off mechanism thus the content is mixed-up with water inside of bottle, and creates a ready-to-drink liquid composition. Further present invention provides a breaker having a stopper to against unintentional movements, specifically due to user's accidentally movement, such that said breaker does not tear beverages. This avoids seal becomes leaked which further may create caking of the content and reduced its quality.

Container assembly including a container for storing a tissue sample and a cover adapted to engage with the container. The cover includes: a top member having a receptacle, a seal for sealing off the receptacle, a puncturing member for breaking the seal by displacement of the puncturing member. The container assembly has a first and a second position, wherein in the first position the container is isolated from the receptacle, and in the second position fluid communication is provided between the receptacle and the container. The container assembly includes a separator positioned between the seal and the bottom of the container, and the separator is provided with at least one aperture adapted to provide a fluid passage between the receptacle and the container.
