Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim
260 words
A container for storing a first and second mixable component prior to the opening and allowing for mixing subsequent to opening, in combination comprising: (a) an inverted hollow frustum having a first concentric groove disposed on its base; (b) a removable hollow cylinder having a first end removably attached to said first concentric groove and being coaxial with said inverted hollow frustum, so that said first mixable component is stored within the confines of said hollow cylinder and said second mixable component is stored within the "ring" shaped area defined by said inverted hollow frustum and said hollow cylinder; (c) a removable lid for placement on said inverted hollow frustum, having a second concentric groove disposed on its interior so that said lid, when placed on said inverted hollow frustum, will be in alignment for a second end of said hollow cylinder to be removably attached to said second concentric groove; and (d) a lanyard having a first fixed end to an underside of said lid and a second end fixed to an upper end of said hollow cylinder and being wound at least one turn around the lower hollow cylinder intermediate said first and second ends so that, upon removal of said lid, said turns of lanyard will ride up said hollow cylinder, causing said second mixable component to separate from the perimeter of said hollow cylinder and ultimately after said turns slide off the top of said hollow cylinder removes said removable hollow cylinder causing said first and second mixable component to come into direct contact for mixing.
