Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a fluid container for use as a closure, and to a receptacle having the fluid container as a closure, the receptacle and closure containing first and second materials which are to be mixed for use.
  • WO 96/29255 discloses a can having the same external dimensions and shape as conventional beverage cans, but having an indented base to define an external cavity in which means to cool or heat the contents of the can are received.
  • Heating or cooling of the contents of the can can be achieved by using two chemical reactants which are stable when separated, but which produce an exothermic reaction or an endothermic reaction when mixed.
  • US patent No. 5,626,022 shows just one example, from many, of an insert for a self-heating or self-cooling can which enables mixing of the reactants when required.
  • This construction utilises a breakable or pierceable barrier to separate the two reactants and spikes or other piercing means to break the barrier when their reaction is required to heat or cool the can.

  • the first and second materials, which are to be mixed at the point of use, may be chemically reactive.
  • a closure of the invention will find wide applicability as it is simple to manufacture, and is robust, and is generally fail proof. What is more, the simple action of pressing the base enables the contents of the fluid container to be mixed with the contents of a receptacle closed by the closure.
  • hair dyes and hair perming agents are required to be rendered active at the point of their application to hair. This is done by reacting a first chemical with the rest of the formulation.
  • the first chemical may be housed in a fluid container of the invention, and that fluid container used to close a tube or bottle containing the rest of the formulation. The base of the closure is pressed when it is required to use the hair dye or hair perming agent to enable mixing of the first chemical from the fluid container with the rest of the formulation.
  • a closure of the invention in conjunction with a paint can for example, will enable paint of one colour, contained in the fluid container, to be mixed with paint of another colour kept in the paint can.

Abstract

Selon l'invention, une fermeture (30) pour contenant est conçue pour faciliter le mélange d'une première matière et d'une seconde matière à l'intérieur de la fermeture, au point d'utilisation. La première et la seconde matières sont, en général, chimiquement réactives. La fermeture en plastique (30) comprend une base (32) et un couvercle (34). La base (32), qui est circulaire, présente un bord périphérique annulaire (36) délimitant un évidement annulaire (39) par lequel la fermeture (30) peut être ajustée par pression sur le contenant (10). Une paroi périphérique verticale (40), qui s'étend radialement vers l'intérieur du bord (36), délimite une chambre (42) destinée à contenir la seconde matière. Un poussoir (44) est fixé à la base (32), au centre d'un bouton convexe (50). Au moment de mélanger la première et la seconde matières, le contenant (10) est disposé de sorte que la base (32) de la fermeture se place à la position la plus élevée, et le bouton (50) est pressé pour déplacer le poussoir (44) et l'amener à pousser le couvercle (34) hors de l'ouverture de la chambre (42).
