Abstract
A container or capsule for segregated storing of two-component miscible substances comprises a bottom member (1) and a top member (2), and two concentric chambers (11, 12), the outer chamber (11) extending from the bott om of the bottom member (1) and opening towards the top member (2) whereas the inner chamber (12) being integral with the top member has its mouth facing t he bottom of the bottom member. The mouth of the inner chamber (12) is sealingl y closed to the bottom member by means of a sealing member (13) when the botto m and top members (1, 2) are tightly interconnected. The sealing member (13) o f the inner chamber (12) constitutes a plug for closing the said inner chamber prior to bringing the two members (1, 2) together for segregated storing of the two components.

Container or capsule for segregated storing of two-component miscible substances The present invention relates to a container or a capsule far the storage oP
two-component miscible substances, such as medicaments where the one component is the medically active component in liquid, powdery or tablet form while the other compoo;ent is a liquid such as water for dissolving or diluting the medically active component, the two components to be mixed at a desired or required point of dime, wherein the bottom end of the bottom member of the container is closed and is integral with the rest of the bottom member and the mouth of the inner chamber, when the two members of the container arc tightly interconnected, is sealingly closed against the bottom of the first mennber by means of a sealing member.
For both patients and healthy persons there is a need for a small and simply operated container which contains two component mnedicaments to be stored separately and mixed only at the time of need.
IS In the prior art such containers or capsules are described both for use with pain killers, in the art of dental techxiiques and in the art of cosmetics. One such container is described in the Norwegian patent no_ 156123, based on PCTIEP82100032. This is a container comprised of two concentric containers, screwed together such that the open end of the inner container, dehz~ing an inner compartment, is pressed towards a sealing rim constituting an elevation on the closed bottom of the outer container, defining the outer compartment. This container lacks, however, a sealing member in the open end of the inner chamber which also functions as a plug, closing this chamber.
US-A-3 856 138 discloses a compartmentalized container for storing, mixing, and dispensing a plurality of incompatible liquids which must be segregated prior to use, which container includes bottom member 1, top member 2, concentric chambers within and around the top member 2, bottom end of bottonr~ member 1 is closed by means of bottom plug 5, mouth 15 sealingly closed to the first member 1 by means of a sealing member 17. The bottom member 1 is closed by a different piece 5.
Thus it is known in the art compartmentalized containers with two concentric chambers, however, with both chambers open ended, in the same place and closed by a connmon plug.

?_0-04-2001 NO 000000147 1b top member, and two concentric chambers, the outer chamber extending from the bottoms of the bottom member and opening towards the top member whereas the inner chamber extends from the top member and having its mouth facing the bottom of the bottom member. The container or the capsule according to the invention is characterized in that the mouth of the inner chamber, when the bottom and top members are tightly interconnected, is sealingly closed to the bottom Empfa~8szeit 20.Apr, 9:00 member by means of a sealing member. Further features of the invention will appear from the following description and from the patent claims.
The invention shall now be described with reference to the accompanying drawing showing an axial section through an embodiment of a capsule according to the invention.
The drawing shows an axial section through a capsule comprising a bottom member 1 and a top member 2 which together define an outer chamber 11 and, concentrically therewith, an inner chamber 12. The outer chamber 11 extends from the bottom of the bottom member 1 and opens towards the top member 2. The inner chamber 11 extends from the top member 2 towards the bottom of the bottom member 1. The bottom member 1 and the top member 2 are interconnectable through threads 3, the threading being further sealed by means of an O-ring 4.
The inner chamber 12 has such a length that its mouth will seal against the bottom of the bottom member 1, a sealing member 13 being provided which does also act as a plug for closing the inner chamber 12.
In operation, the outer chamber 11 is provided for receiving a predetermined quantity of a substance in liquid, powdery or tablet form which up to a given point of time should be kept separate from a predetermined quantity of liquid received in the inner chamber 12 and which at a such given time should be mixed with the liquid from the inner chamber. The mixing is achieved by removing the top member 2 from the bottom member 1 the mouth of the inner chamber 12 thereby being uncovered so that the liquid in the inner chamber 12 mixes with the contents of the outer chamber 11.
A specific example of purpose of the invention is that a cardiac medicine in the form of a powder or an easily dissolvable tablet is kept in the outer chamber while water is kept in the inner chamber 12, the water and the cardiac medicine being mixed only at the time when the user of the capsule suffers an acute cardiac emergency.
