  • closure element may be easily designed for use with standard bottles as insertion elements.
  • extension direction refers to the two directions along the "extension axis" of the channel, e.g. the extension axis of a cylinder if the channel is cylindrical in shape.
  • said directions are referred to as “opening (extension) direction” and the “closing (extension) direction” meaning that a relative movement of the closure element in the "opening extension direction” opens the fluid communication and that a relative movement of the closure element in the "closing extension direction” closes the fluid communication.
  • the term “element” means either “one-piece elements”, e.g. elements being produced as one piece by injection moulding, or “multi-part elements” wherein several elements may be manufactured separately, but wherein the parts are then rigidly coupled to one resulting "element”, e.g. by ultrasonic welding, screwing or any other appropriate joining technique. It is essential that the resulting element is robust and does not have any movable parts. Thus, one element may comprise several elements.
  • the coupling element and/or the means for opening and closing the fluid communication is a thread, in particular a female screw thread for insertion of a standard bottle neck (with a male screw thread), preferably a female screw thread being formed on the inner surface of the channel.
  • a screw thread may be easily formed during a single manufacturing process (e.g. injection moulding) without the need for any post-processing.
  • the channel of the closure element is at least partly cylindrical in shape and the opening is formed in the cylindrical part of the channel.
  • the opening may be formed in the cylinder wall of a cylindrical channel.
  • the relative movement of the closure element to an insertion element in the closing extension direction is preferably limited by a sealing element extending transverse to an extension direction of the channel, said sealing element preferably limiting the length of the channel.
  • the sealing element extends perpendicular to the extension axis.
  • the extension axis intersects the sealing element in the middle, i.e. the sealing element is centred with respect to the extension axis.
  • the sealing element is preferably planar in shape at least on the side directed to the channel such that the sealing element may seal the bottle neck of a completely inserted insertion element.
  • the sealing element may also be planar in shape only along a circular ring corresponding to the face side of a bottle neck of the insertion element. It is essential that the sealing element allows closing the fluid communication to an insertion element being inserted into the channel.
  • the channel is formed by at least two interconnected parts.
  • One of the two parts comprises the aforementioned sealing element and the other of the two parts comprises the aforementioned coupling element.
  • the aforementioned at least two parts comprise corresponding contact surfaces being formed to be mutually complementary.
  • Such contact surfaces may for example be planar surfaces being arranged transverse (preferably perpendicular) to the extension axis.
  • Such contact surfaces may comprise a geometrical shape being optimized for joining, e.g. ultrasonic welding, multistage injection moulding or the like.
  • the two interconnected parts are a sealing element and a channel element as described in detail later on. If the relative movement between the closure element and an insertion element shall be limited bidirectional, i.e.
  • a stop element preferably arranged in the opening extension direction of the channel.
  • a stop element might have a stop surface, e.g. formed as a hook, extending transverse to the extension axis of the channel, preferably a stop surface extending perpendicular to the extension axis of the channel.
  • a stop element is arranged on the closure element, e.g. on the sealing element or on the channel element if the closure element comprises such elements.
  • Such a multi-compartment container is easy to manufacture and does not require any additional movable parts.
  • the closure element and the insertion element i.e. two parts without any additional and without any movable parts, are sufficient to repeatedly establish and separate a fluid communication between the two compartments.
  • the insertion element of the inventive multi-compartment container comprises a screw thread, in particular a male screw thread on the outer surface corresponding to a female screw thread on the inner surface of the channel of the closure element.
  • screw threads have been known from the prior art for decades. The production costs of such screw threads are low, in particular if the closure element and the insertion element are formed of plastic material like PET.
  • the insertion element of the inventive multi-compartment container comprises a support ring, in particular a planar support ring perpendicular to the extension axis, formed on the bottle neck of the insertion element.
  • Bottles with support ring known from the prior art can be used.
  • Such support rings may form one part of a stop element in the opening extension direction. Further details concerning this aspect are described in relation with an example described below and the drawings.
  • closure element and the insertion element have circular cross-sections.
  • closure element and the insertion element are essentially cylindrical in shape, preferably such that the first element and the second element have - in the closed condition - the shape of a one piece container with a continuous contour.
  • closure element and/or the insertion element of an inventive multi-compartment container are preferably made of polyethylene terephthalate (PET). Said material is light, unbreakable, well-proven in the field of drink containers and allows for low-cost manufacturing.
  • PET polyethylene terephthalate

Furthermore, the channel element 38 comprises several elastic stop elements 50 with stop surfaces 56 being formed perpendicular to the extension axis e. The stop surfaces 56 are formed as hooks in the embodiment shown in the figures. In addition the channel element 38 comprises a contact surface 62 corresponding to the contact surface 58 of the sealing element 36.
  • the sealing element 36 and the channel element 38 - together forming the connecting element 30 - are rigidly connected by ultrasonic welding.
  • the connecting element 30 and the container element 28 - together forming the essential part of the closure element - are also rigidly connected by ultrasonic welding.
  • the sealing element 36 comprises a separate liner 52 made of ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA).
  • EVA ethylene vinyl acetate
  • the bottle neck 22 When the multi-compartment container 10 is in a closed condition (see figure 5a ), the bottle neck 22 is pushed with its face side 54 against the liner 52. Thus, the insertion element is sealed by the liner of the closure element and the fluid communication is closed.
  • the face side 54 is distant from the liner 52 and thus allows content flowing through the channel 20 and the circumferential openings 44 from the compartment 16 of the closure element 12 to the compartment 18 of the insertion element 14 and vice versa.
  • the liner 52 forms a stop element for a relative movement in the closing direction.
  • stop surfaces 56 of stop elements 50 of the closure element 12 restrict the relative movement of the closure element 12 in the opening direction.
  • the stop surfaces 54 being arranged perpendicular to the extension axis abut on the support ring 26 of the insertion element 14.
  • the closure element 12 comprises four stop elements 50 being arranged between the walls 64 of the channel 20 and the outer walls 66 of the channel element 38.
  • the stop elements 50 are elastic at least to such an extent that they may be moved outwards to pass the support ring 26 of an insertion element 14 when the insertion element 14 with a support ring 26 is initially screwed into the channel element 30 of the closure element 12. After having passed the support ring 26, the stop elements 50 spring back to the position shown in figures 5a and 5b limiting the relative movement of the closure element 12 and the insertion element 14 in the opening direction as described above.
  • the stop elements 50 are designed such that the closure element 12 and the insertion element 14 may not be separated after the stop elements 50 have passed the support ring 26. This might guarantee that the content of the compartments 16, 18 may be inserted by the manufacturer only.
