A container is assembled, using an interface connection device enabling separate packaging and storage of multiple contents to be combined in the preparation of a ready-to-use product. Two container bodies each having a coupler are connected by the separate device. A mixing mechanism is formed when inserting the couplers through opposite end female parts of the connector of the interface device. A container body compartment is sealed by a closure member. A stop arrangement retains a given coupler of the sealed container body in a first position in a corresponding end female part of the connector. Relative movement of a closure member toward an opener in the connector allows communication between two compartments. These compartments remain separate until action to overcome the stop and displace the given coupler from the first to second insertion position, with the opener releasing the container body compartment initially sealed by the closure member.

A cap (10) for adding additives to a container. The base (12) is a round platform (20) with a vertical axis (18), a container attachment (30), a series of truncated sawteeth (60) extending around the perimeter (36), a through aperture (80) between the bottom and top surfaces, and a spike (84) extending from the aperture. A cylindrical tank (14) has sealed compartments (110) filled with additives arranged in a circle around the axis. A mechanism (16, 32) holds the base and tank together and biases the tank to the base. As the tank rotates, cogs (144) in the tank slide up the tooth ramps (64) to push the tank away from the platform until the cogs reach the tooth plateaus (66). The cogs pass the plateaus where the tank is pulled toward the platform and the spike punctures a seal covering an opening in the aligned compartment.

The invention relates to a dispenser having a cartridge holder.

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 system, apparatus, and method for closed fluid delivery include a bottle holding a quantity of fluid. A membrane is positioned over an opening of the bottle to seal the fluid therein. A closed fluid delivery adapter has a first portion with a first mateable end connectable to the bottle along the opening of the bottle and a second portion having a second mateable end positioned to connect to a container. A fluid pathway is between the first and second portions. A puncturing structure is positioned along the fluid pathway. A removable collar is positioned between the first and second portions. The removable collar prevents the first and second portions from moving closer together. Upon removal of the removable collar, the first and second portions are movable closer together, whereby the puncturing structure punctures the membrane to allow flow of the fluid.

Provided herein is reusable dispenser lid. The reusable dispenser lid can be removably fitted to the mouth of a container containing a fluid.

The invention relates to a dispenser having a cartridge holder.

Embodiments of the present disclosure include a container additive system that can be used to mix an additive separately contained inside a receptacle with the contents of a container. The system can enable separate transport of additives for the contents of the container in a sterile and convenient manner that enables mixing according to a user's preferences before the opening of the container and dispensing. According to some aspects, the system can include a breacher configured to connect the insides of the container and receptacle. The receptacle may be rigid, flexible bag type container or a hybrid thereof, depending on the application and side of the additive. In some embodiments, the system or parts thereof may serve as a cap or lid to the container. The container is also not limited to rigid or semi rigid surfaces but can also include flexible bag type or hybrids of flexible and rigid surfaces.

A container-closure system comprises a threaded-neck container that houses a first flowable product in a first reservoir. A closure assembly for the container initially houses a second flowable product in a second reservoir, and comprises a threaded cap and a cap insert. Movement of the cap insert with respect to the threaded cap effects the mixing of the two flowable products in the first reservoir.
