Abstract
Abstract A container for two products which must be kept separately from each other, but which should be mixed at the time of use, comprises a body having an open upper end and a lower bottom provided with an upwardly extending partition to determine two separate chambers. A cover closes both chambers in a fluidtight manner and it includes a upwardly directed hollow extension having an inner dividing partition which delimits therein two subspaces each communicating with one of the chambers. At the time of use this extension is cut horizontally below its closed upper end and it thus forms a double discharging spout for the contents of both chambers.

A container for two products to be kept separately but to be used in the mixed state, comprising a body having an upper open end, said body including an outer wall, a bottom, and an upwardly extending annular partition carried by said bottom; said outer wall and said annular partition defining within said body a first chamber exterior to said partition and a second chamber interior to said partition, and said outer wall and said annular partition each having an upper edge; a cover having a downwardly directed peripheral rim to receive in a fluidtight manner the upper edge of said outer wall, and a downwardly opening inner groove of dimensions to receive in a fluidtight manner the upper edge of said annular partition, so as to sealingly close the upper End of said body with said first and second chambers separated from each other; said cover further including an upwardly directed hollow extension with a closed upper end, said extension including an inner dividing partition which delimits therein to closed subspaces isolated from each other, each communicating with one of said chambers, in such manner that by severing said extension substantially horizontally in the vicinity of its closed upper end, said extension may form a double discharging spout for the contents of said chambers; said outer wall being substantially cylindrical and said inner annular partition of said container body being of substantially cylindrical form and being coaxial to said outer wall; said peripheral rim of said cover being formed by the outer side of a downwardly opening peripheral groove of said cover; said cover comprising a flat annular portion comprising between said peripheral groove and said inner groove, and a flat disclike central portion delimited by said inner groove; said peripheral groove and said inner groove being respectively provided in a peripheral and an inner upwardly protruding rib formed on said cover; said hollow upward extension including a substantially cylindrical wall overlapping a portion of said inner rib; said inner dividing partition of said extension being disposed between said second rib, said substantially cylindrical wall of said extension and said closed upper end of same; said closed upper end of said extension being formed of two oblique walls converging downwardly toward an arcuate line situated above said inner dividing partition of said extension.

A container for two products to be kept separately but to be used in the mixed state, comprising a body having an upper open end, said body including an outer wall, a bottom, and an upwardly extending annular partition carried by said bottom; said outer wall and said annular partition defining within said body a first chamber exterior to said partition and a second chamber interior to said partition, and said outer wall and said annular partition each having an upper edge; a cover having a downwardly directed peripheral rim to receive in a fluidtight manner the upper edge of said outer wall, and a downwardly opening inner groove of dimensions to receive in a fluidtight manner the upper edge of said annular partition, so as to sealingly close the upper End of said body with said first and second chambers separated from each other; said cover further including an upwardly directed hollow extension with a closed upper end, said extension including an inner dividing partition which delimits therein to closed subspaces isolated from each other, each communicating with one of said chambers, in such manner that by severing said extension substantially horizontally in the vicinity of its closed upper end, said extension may form a double discharging spout for the contents of said chambers; said outer wall being substantially cylindrical and said inner annular partition of said container body being of substantially cylindrical form and being coaxial to said outer wall; said peripheral rim of said cover being formed by the outer side of a downwardly opening peripheral groove of said cover; said cover comprising a flat annular portion comprising between said peripheral groove and said inner groove, and a flat disclike central portion delimited by said inner groove; said peripheral groove and said inner groove being respectively provided in a peripheral and an inner upwardly protruding rib formed on said cover; said hollow upward extension including a substantially cylindrical wall overlapping a portion of said inner rib; said inner dividing partition of said extension being disposed between said second rib, said substantially cylindrical wall of said extension and said closed upper end of same; said closed upper end of said extension being formed of two oblique walls converging downwardly toward an arcuate line situated above said inner dividing partition of said extension.

A container for two products to be kept separately but to be used in the mixed state, comprising a body having an upper open end, said body including an outer wall, a bottom, and an upwardly extending annular partition carried by said bottom; said outer wall and said annular partition defining within said body a first chamber exterior to said partition and a second chamber interior to said partition, and said outer wall and said annular partition each having an upper edge; a cover having a downwardly directed peripheral rim to receive in a fluidtight manner the upper edge of said outer wall, and a downwardly opening inner groove of dimensions to receive in a fluidtight manner the upper edge of said annular partition, so as to sealingly close the upper end of said body with said first and second chambers separated from each other; said cover further including an upwardly directed hollow extension with a closed upper end, said extension including an inner dividing partition which delimits therein two closed subspaces isolated from each other, each communicating with one of said chambers, in such manner that by severing said extension substantially horizontally in the vicinity of its closed upper end, said extension may form a double discharging spout for the contents of said chambers; said upper edge of said body being formed with an outwardly protruding bead and said peripheral rim having an inner tooth which snaps below said bead when said cover is pressed downwardly on said body to secure said body to said cover; said cover comprising an annular flange portion having an outer edge and an inner edge with said outer edge carrying said peripheral rim; an outer upwardly converging conical portion having a circular base integral with the inner edge of said flange portion; an inner upwardly converging conical portion having a circular base formed with a circular rib, with said inner groove being formed in said circular rib; radial arms to connect with each other the circular bases of said outer and inner conical portions; and said outer and inner conical portions having a common closed apex.
