Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 9
Claim 1
Independent Claim
223 words
A multicompartment dispensing container comprising, in combination: an outer flexible receptacle containing a liquid and having an opening at an end portion thereof; cap means for closing said opening, said cap means including a mixing chamber, means forming an orifice communicating with the exterior of the outer receptacle and the mixing chamber, and liquid flow control channel means communicating with said mixing chamber and the interior of the outer receptacle, said liquid flow control channel means being found with a crosssectional area to establish a capillary action for retarding the flow of liquid within said liquid flow control channel means and an inner flexible vessel supported within the interior of the outer receptacle and having an open end communicating with said mixing chamber, said inner vessel containing a supply of air under atmospheric pressure, therethrough, whereby the compressing of said outer receptacle causes the liquid contained therein to flow into said mixing chamber through said liquid flow control channel means and to compress said inner vessel forcing the air contained in said inner vessel into said mixing chamber said mixing chamber being smaller in crosssectional area than said inner vessel for increasing the flow of air from the inner vessel when the inner vessel is squeezed for ejecting a spray through said means forming an orifice constituting a mixture of air and liquid.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
223 words

Claim 3
Dependent Claim
16 words
The container of claim 1 in which the cap means is removable from the outer receptacle.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
55 words
The container of claim 1 in which the cap means includes an annular cap segment adapted to be secured to said outer receptacle about said opening, an individual seal member segment adapted to at least in part cover said opening of the outer receptacle, said seal providing a sealant about the opening of the receptacle.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
17 words
The container of claim 3 in which said seal member integrally forms said means forming an orifice.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
37 words
The container of claim 3 in which said seal member defines said means forming an orifice and a cylindrical hollow body forming said mixing chamber, said body defining an aperture establishing said liquid flow control channel means.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
27 words
THe container of claim 5 in which the minimal cross-sectional area of the means forming an orifice is less than the minimal cross-sectional area of said chamber.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
22 words
A container as claimed in claim 1 wherein said mixing chamber has an outlet opening aligned with said means forming an orifice.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
27 words
A container as claimed in claim 7 wherein the cross-sectional area of said means forming an orifice is less than the cross-sectional area of said mixing chamber.
