The dispensingend 24 of this embodiment of the invention includes aremovable cap 28 having avalve 30, shown inFIG. 2 , which closes an open end of theprimary container 12. A liquid which is stored inside theprimary container 12 can be dispensed under the influence of gravity when the valve is opened and the container assembly 10 turned upside down. - The
base 26 includes two flat base members 32.1 and 32.2 which will allow the primary container to be placed in an upright manner on a flat surface. A finger opening 34, the purpose of which will be explained below, is provided between the base members 32.1 and 32.2 as shown. - Inside the
holding compartment 14 theprimary container 12 includes asupport structure 36. Thesupport structure 36 is provided in the form of two support structure members 38.1 and 38.2 which are curve-shaped. As shown inFIG. 1 , thesecondary container 16 is cylindrical-shaped and the curvature of the two support structure members 38.1 and 38.2 is such that they can support the shape of thesecondary container 16. - The
primary container 12 is provided with arecess formation 40 which extends around a portion of theoutside wall 22. In use therecess formation 40 will cooperate with thegripping formation 20 for securing thesecondary container 16 inside theholding compartment 14 in a manner described below. - The
secondary container 16 comprises a container body 42 and alid 44. In this embodiment of the invention thelid 44 is pivotally secured to the container body 42 with the use of a flexible hinge 46. Thesecondary container 16 is provided with a finger tab 48 for facilitating opening of thesecondary container 16. The finger tab 48, in turn, is provided with a conventional locking arrangement, generally indicated with the reference numeral 48, for keeping thelid 44 in a closed position on the container body 42. - With a view to ensuring that dissolvable tablets which are stored inside the
secondary container 16 do not dissolve prior to being used, thesecondary container 16 is provided on its inside with a desiccant. In this specific embodiment the desiccant is provided in the form of a layer of a desiccant material which lines the inside wall of the container body 48, not shown. - The
securing formation 18 includes acontainer engagement formation 52 for holding a portion of the container body 42 of thesecondary container 16. It is pointed out that thecontainer engagement formation 52 is sized such that it can frictionally engage a portion of an outside wall of the container body 42. Thecontainer engagement formation 52 in turn is connected to thegripping formation 20. - In this embodiment of the invention the
gripping formation 20 comprises four curved arms 54.1, 54.2, 54.3 and 54.4. Specifically the curved arms 51.1, 54.2, 54.3 and 54.4 are shaped such that they can be located inside therecess formation 40 and can be held in position in a friction fit. - The assembled container assembly 10 is shown in
FIGS. 2 and 3 . In order to assemble the components of the container assembly 10 as shown inFIG. 1 , the container body 42 of thesecondary container 16 is firstly placed on thesupport structure 36 inside the holdingcompartment 14. It is important to point out that thesecondary container 16 is held inside the holdingcompartment 14 in such a manner that thelid 44 is located towards thebase 26 of theprimary container 12 with the finger tab 48 located inside thefinger opening 34. Thesecondary container 16 is now secured in position inside the holdingcompartment 14 when thecontainer engagement formation 52 frictionally holds a portion of the container body 42 while the curved arms 54.1, 54,2, 54.3 and 54.4 of thegripping formation 20 engage theoutside wall 22 of theprimary container 12 inside therecess formation 40, thereby to hold theprimary container 12 in a friction fit. - It is envisaged that the
primary container 12 will typically be filled with water while thesecondary container 16 will hold a supply of water-soluble substance such as effervescent tables. A person now desirous to prepare an effervescent drink can simply remove a tablet by opening the secondary container access by gripping the finger tab 48 and flipping thelid 44 open. It will be appreciated that by having afinger opening 34 as described, a finger of a user can easily engage the finger tab 48 and the process of opening thesecondary container 16 takes place with relative ease. Once thesecondary container 16 is closed, thecap 28 can be removed momentarily so that the tablet can be dropped into the liquid held by theprimary container 12 in order to be dissolved. -
FIG. 4 shows an alternative securing formation, generally indicated with the reference numeral 60, for use in a container assembly in accordance with present invention. The securing formation 60 differs from the securingformation 18 in that its gripping formation 62 is provided in the form of two rubber bands 64.1 and 64.2 which can extend around the circumference of a primary container. In particular the bands 64.1 and 64.2 each include an attachment formation 66 whereby the bands 61.1 and 64.2 can be secured to form a closed loop. In this embodiment of the invention the attachment formation is provided in the form of a number of protrusions 68 which can be held in suitably sized cavities 70. - The securing formation 60 also includes a container engagement formation, here indicated with the
reference numeral 72. Unlike thecontainer engagement formation 52 of the securingformation 18, thecontainer engagement formation 72 is adorned withpromotional information 74. - Although not illustrated in the accompany drawings it is envisaged that the securing formation and the primary container could be of unitary construction to define a holding compartment which can hold a secondary container in a friction fit.
- It is also envisaged that the container assembly need not necessarily include a securing formation but that the primary container could simply include a holding compartment which is defined by outer surfaces of the primary container. The secondary container can then be secured inside the holding compartment by providing a friction fit or a force fit between the walls of the primary container defining the holding formation as well as outer surfaces of the secondary container.
- It is finally envisaged that the securing formation could also be provided in the form of a layer of an adhesive, typically in the form of glue.
- The container assembly as described above will make it convenient to transport an empty container with a supply of water-soluble tablets. When a user is now desirous to consume a drink, the primary container can be filled with water whereafter a tablet can be removed from the secondary container and dropped into the liquid to dissolve and form the drink.
