Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim
240 words
In a device for storing and dispensing a liquid product and at least one additional fluent product, said device comprising a container for holding said liquid product and a covered cup for holding said fluent product, said container having an integral neck and said cup being positioned inside said neck and having a supporting flange resting on said neck, and a trocar carried by said container for sliding movement toward and away from said cup, the improvement which comprises: a diaphragm covering and sealing said cup, a cover having internal threads mating with external threads on said neck, said flange being gripped between said cover and neck and thereby sealed to said neck to isolate the contents of said container from the ambient atmosphere, and said cover also having a collar projecting above said cup aligned with the wall of said cup and encircling said trocar to form a guide therefor, a cap mounted on said container and supporting said trocar in alignment with said diaphragm, said cap having a dispensing spout aligned with said trocar and a cylindrical flange encircling said trocar and telescopically slidable on the peripheral wall of said cover between a storage position in which said trocar is held away from said diaphragm and a dispensing position in which said trocar extends through both said diaphragm and the bottom of said cup, and removable means for preventing movement of said cap and trocar into dispensing position.
