Device for storing two products separately and subsequently mixing them

Claim 1

Device for storing and dispensing a misture of a first product and at least one additional product, said device comprising: a container for holding said first product, said container being provided with a neck, a hollow spout-shaped dispensing cap defining a recess for holding said at least one additional product, said cap being provided at one end with a skirt adapted to fit onto the outside of said neck, with an annular surface between said skirt and the edge of said recess, and with integral means at its other end adapted to create a dispensing orifice when removed from said cap, a capsule which acts as a closure for said recess when said capsule is located therein, said capsule having a first end which is a force fit in said recess and a second end provided with a supporting flange which projects radially outward therefrom, a cup having sides adapted to be received in said neck and a bottom defining an opening through which said first end of said capsule projects into said recess, so that the bottom of said cup is gripped between the supporting flange on said capsule and the annular surface on said cap, the outer diameter of said capsule being less than that of the opening in the bottom of said cup so that said capsule is slidable with respect to said opening and the outer diameter of said supporting flange being greater than the diameter of the opening in the bottom of the cup but less than the inner diameter of the sides of the cup, and means for frictionally retaining the sides of said cup in the neck of said container, whereby when said cap is moved away from said container along said neck said capsule is prevented by said flanges from being removed with said cap, but is instead separated from said cap so as to be free to fall into said container.
