- a device for storing and mixing substances 10 comprising a container 14 and a cap 12.
- the container 14 may have different shapes and accept sizes. Thus, depending on the application and size, the container can hold amounts of the order of a few kilograms, a few grams, a few milligrams or even a few micrograms.
- the shape of the container 14 may in particular assume a cylindrical shape with a round base. Any other conceivable shaping is also possible.
- the container 14 is closed at one end 18 and open at the other end 16, wherein the open end or the opening 16 provides a closure mechanism on which a removable cap 12 can be accommodated.
- a thread 26 provided at the opening 16 of the container 14 and in the cap 12 may form a screw cap.
- FIG. 1b the interior of the container 14 is shown along the section AA.
- a wall 22 from the closed 18 to the open end 16 of the container, which, as Fig. 2b it can be seen in this embodiment, two chambers 20 limited.
- the chambers 20 two different substances or components can be stored separately.
- one chamber 20 may contain one liquid while the other chamber 20 contains a powder.
- a wall 22 is provided to form two chambers 20 in the interior of the container 14.
- it can be formed in the container interior several walls 22, which can then more than two chambers 20, preferably up to eight chambers 20, limit.
- Fig. 3a, 3b, 3c 4a, 4b, 4c show different embodiments in the interior of the container 14 with differently arranged walls 22, which form two or four chambers 20.
- each chamber 20 makes it possible to store substances of different types, ie liquids and / or powders, separately from one another before they can be mixed together shortly before use. Furthermore, the position of the walls 22 can be chosen arbitrarily in the container interior. Thus, the volume and the capacity of each chamber 20 can be flexibly adapted to the mixing ratios of the stored in the chambers 20 substances and it can be a flawless accumulation of, for example, medicines, dietary supplements or other chemically reactive substances guaranteed. That is, if, for example, more liquid than powder is used, the wall 22 or partition inside the container is placed and adjusted so that no spaces are created in the chambers, which significantly increases the efficiency of the packaging.
- a cap 12 is further provided at the open end 16 of the container 14.
- the cap 12 In Fig. 1b the cap 12 is in a first position where it closes the container 14 and the at least two chambers 20, so that there is no connection between the substances in the chambers 20.
- a protruding element 24 is preferably formed, which in the first position of the cap 12 fills the interior space at the opening or the open end 16 of the container 14 and closes the closure 28 of the wall 22 with an exact fit.
- the cap 12 is further configured so that in the case of a screw cap, an internal thread 26 is provided on the side wall 30. A recess 32 and the internal thread 26 make it possible to screw the cap 12 on the container 14 with external thread 26 and to close airtight.
- the cap 12 thus acts like a plug which seals the container 14 and the chambers 20 located therein.
- Fig. 2a also shows a device for storing and mixing substances 10.
- Fig. 2b shows a sectional view along DD and illustrates the formation of the chambers 20 by means of the wall 22 in the interior of the container 14. Further, it can be seen how the protruding element 24 of the cap 12, the chambers 20 isolated from each other and the interior of the container 14 to the outside, So from the environment of the container 14, seals.
- Fig. 2 illustrates the device for storing and mixing substances 10 in the closed state, ie the cap 12 is in a first position and seals both the container 14 to the outside and the individual chambers 20 inside the container 14 from. In this state, the substances contained in the chambers 20 can be stored isolated from each other.
- Fig. 1 illustrates the apparatus for storing and mixing fabrics 10 in a condition in which the cap 12 is in an unseated position but still does not allow communication between the chambers 20. Thus, this position corresponds to an intermediate position between a closed first position and a second position in which a connection between the chambers 20 is made.
- the cap 12 is transferred to a second position, which is characterized for example by a mark or a groove on the container 14. In this second position, the cap 12 continues to close the container 14, but a connection between the chambers 20 is released. Is the cap 12 in the second position so arises between the projecting element 24 and the wall 22 in the region of the opening 16 of the container 14, a free space. This is a critical point because the required clearance depends on the solubility of the substances or substances used.
- connection between the chambers 20 and the clearance make it possible, for example by shaking the container 14, to mix the materials stored separately in the chambers 20.
- Such a mechanism for storing and mixing substances has the advantage that, for example, sensitive drugs that die quickly or that are incompatible and react with each other can be easily enriched fresh.
- the cap is transferred to a third position, which opens the container 14 at the open end 16 for emptying the contents.
- the cap 12 is removed from the container 14, which may be resealable.
- the container 14 and the cap 12 are configured in an advantageous embodiment as individual parts, wherein the container 14 may be made of plastic or glass and the cap 12 is preferably made of plastic.
- Suitable plastics for the production of the device according to the invention are, for example, polyethylene, polypropylene, PVC, and silicone, which are processed, for example, by deep drawing, injection molding or blow molding.
- the material is adapted to the particular circumstances. For example, with regard to sterility in medical applications, a material must be used which also allows storage in a sterile environment.
- any known locking mechanism with which a container 14 can be closed can be used in the context of the present invention.
- a cap 14 is used, which is completely or partially removable, to seal the contents of the container 14 in the closed state and to empty in the open state.
- the closure mechanism is designed as a screw, strap or snap closure.
- additional parental controls can be provided in the closure mechanism. This is usually achieved by a closure that requires unusual movements or a combination of simultaneous or sequential movements that would most likely not come to mind to a young child without guidance or that are hardly possible anatomically.
- Fig. 5a and 5b show an embodiment of the cap 12 in detail.
- a protruding element 24 is preferably formed in the cap 12, which in the first position fills the interior space at the opening 16 of the container 14 and closes the closure 28 of the wall 22 with an exact fit.
- the closure may be realized as a screw cap with an internal thread 26 on the side wall 30 of the recess 32 in the cap 12 and an external thread 26 on the container 14. This allows the cap 12 to be screwed onto the container 14 like a lid, sealing the container airtight.
- the cap 12 and the protruding element 24 thus act like a plug, which seals the container 14 and the chambers 20 therein.
- the second and third positions of the cap that is, the positions for mixing and opening, can be achieved by unscrewing.
- a mark or a groove in the region of the open end 16 of the container 14 indicate the second position for mixing the individual substances.
- the cap 12 is completely unscrewed, thus opening the container 14.
- Fig. 6a-c show a further embodiment, wherein the closure mechanism is designed as a snap closure.
- a container 14 is shown in plan view. This is different than in the Fig. 1-5 illustrated embodiments of the container 14 without a conical shape in the upper region of the container 14, ie in the region of the opening 16, configured. Furthermore, a total of four individual chambers 20 are provided, in which different substances can be added.
- Fig. 6b shows the container 14 in the side view, wherein the elements of the snap closure in the container 14 are clear.
- indentations 34, 36 are provided which are annularly formed on the full circumference of the container 14.
- the cap 12 is formed as a plug, wherein at the lower end of the cap 12, which points towards the container interior, a nose 38 is provided annularly along the circumference of the cap 12. This nose 38 cooperates with the indentations 34, 36 of the container 14 so that the nose 38 engages in the respective position of the indentations 34, 36.
- the nose 38 of the cap 12 is in the first recess 34, this corresponds to the closed state of the container 14.
- both the container 14 and the individual chambers 20 are closed and the substances in the individual chambers 20 are stored separately.
- the cap 12 formed as a plug is pulled out into the position of the second indentation 36.
- a connection between the individual chambers 20 is produced in the container 14 and there is a free space in the region of the opening 16 of the container 14.
- stored materials can be mixed together.
- the user can access the mixed contents of the container 14 by pulling the cap 12.
- the curvature 40 in the container 14 is used to equalize the pressure when pulling or pushing the cap 12, so that on the one hand a negative pressure can be prevented and on the other hand air can escape.
- the conical end 42 of the cap 12 and the container 14 allow the cap 12 to be latched to the sides of the container 14 and the chambers 20 to prevent leakage of the substances inside the container 14.
- the device according to the invention finds application in various fields where isolated storage and mixing of components shortly before use may be necessary.
- the device of the invention in applications with sensitive drugs that die quickly and therefore need to be enriched fresh, find use.
- Examples include the dietary supplements based on the vitamin B12 or more complex combinations including folic acid, fatty acid, coenzymes or the like.
- the multi-chamber system allows complex combinations of more than two, preferably up to eight, fabrics.
- device according to the invention with predetermined proportions can guarantee an error-free enrichment.
- substances which interact chemically can also be introduced into the device according to the invention. In this context, especially industrial products such as two-component adhesives or cosmetic products such as hair dyes are of interest.
- device according to the invention for storing and mixing substances provides a simple and flexible device which, on the one hand, enables the separate storage of substances and in a few seconds at any location permits the mixing of these substances.
