- Second Preferred Embodiment In a further preferred embodiment in which like features have been numbered alike with the addition of 100, piercing collar 113 is substantially as described in the first embodiment above, but is only internally threaded at that end 114 intended for screwed attachment to a base liquid container.
- the other end 120 of the neck portion 112 of container 111 is attached to additive potable liquid container 111 after filling, by such means as for example a suitable adhesive, friction welding or ultrasonic welding.
- an additive liquid container 211 is again provided with a pierceable seal 219. Note that in figure 6 the additive container 211 has been inverted and screwed to the neck of a base liquid container 233. Seal 219 may for example be affixed across the opening 221 of container 211 by ultrasonic welding or other suitable means, after the container has been filled with an additive liquid.
- Piercing collar 213 is preferably comprised of a first portion 214 and a second portion 215 for, but may also be formed as a single integral unit.
- the mating ends 216 and 217 may be formed to connect together as a snap-fitting.
- Mating ends of the first and second collar portions may be provided with engaging lugs or castellation (not shown) so as to prevent the rotation of one collar relative to the other when in use.
- the portions may be attached together by for example, heat welding or with a suitable adhesive.
- Collar 113 is attached to the additive container after this has been filled with its contents .
- the lower portion 214 of the collar is provide with an internal thread 220 adapted to mate with the external thread 221 at the neck portion 222 of the additive container 211.
- the second portion 215 of collar 113 is provided with an internal thread 224.
- Second collar portion 215 may be provided in a range of threads to suit standard threads employed on the necks of containers of base liquids for which the additive liquid is intended.
- Second portion 215 of collar 113 is further provided with piercing insert 226.
- piercing insert 226 is in the form of a tubular member 227 retained within the bore 228 of second portion 215 by a series of radially disposed friable lugs 229.
- the lugs 229 extend radially outwardly from an annular ring 230 to the inside surface of the bore 228 of second portion 215.
- the ring 230 extends radially outwardly sufficient to allow contact with the rim 232 of the neck opening of a base liquid container 233 when this is screwed into the thread of the second portion 215.
- the lugs 229 are so formed that the friable portion lies adjacent to the inside surface of the bore 228 of second portion 215 so that a sufficient portion of the lugs 229 remains intact to provide contact points for the rim 232 of the base liquid container 233.
- Tubular member 227 is adapted to slide into the bore 234 of a base liquid container 233 when the additive container 211 is first screwed to the threaded neck portion of base liquid container 233.
- the base liquid container 233 is screwed into the second portion 215 of collar 213 until the rim 232 of the neck of the container 233 is in contact with the annular ring 230 or the friable lugs 229.
- base liquid container 233 may be further screwed into second portion 215 so as to break the friable lugs 229, thus driving the tubular member 227 into contact with the pierceable seal 219.
- the inner rim 235 of tubular member 227 that is the rim oriented towards the seal 219, is provided with a sharp edge and may be angled so that the sharpened edge gradually pierces the seal 219.
- a base liquid container 233 is positioned with its neck uppermost and its sealing closure removed as shown in figure 6.
- the additive container 211 is then inverted and screwed down onto the base liquid container until the seal 219 is pierced, thus allowing the contents of the additive container to flow into the base liquid container 233 and the contents of the two containers to mix together.
- the piercing collar is substantially as described in the above embodiments, that is as a single integral ite ⁇ u or as first and second portions attached together.
- the collar is not attached to an additive container at manufacture but may be supplied as a separate item available for use in the transfer of contents from any suitable first container to a suitable second container.
- the first portion 314 of collar 313 of this preferred embodiment is provided with a pierceable seal 319, so that when the first collar 314 is screwed to the neck of a first container, the pierceable seal 319 provides a closure for that container.
- first and second portions may be provided in a variety of sizes and threads such that a selection of appropriate first and second portions may be made to connect the collar to containers having different neck openings and threads.
- Additive potable liquids may include any one of a range of liquids including for example cordial concentrates, milk flavouring additives and alcoholic beverages .
- a number of additive potable liquid containers provided with various selections of flavour concentrates or alcoholic beverages may be arranged together in a convenient carry pack.
- Such a pack of selected additive potable liquids may be taken to a venue such as a party, - picnic or some other function where either bottled water, milk or proprietary beverages are readily available thus obviating the need to carry a selection of such additive potable liquids in large containers.
- information is provided on the additive potable liquid container, or on a label affixed to the container, or printed on the carry pack, as to what volume of base potable liquid the additive potable liquid is suited for so as to give a satisfactory mix.
- such information may include a range of suggestions of proprietary beverages and volumes of such beverages for which the selection of additive potable liquids is suited.
- a particular liqueur in a given volume additive potable liquid container may provide a desirable mix with one proprietary beverage in a 750 ml bottle but be better suited to a 375 ml bottle of another beverage .
- the invention may equally be adapted to the mixing prior to use of any two liquids to form chemical compositions for a wide range of applications . Neither is it intended that the invention be limited to the mixing of two liquids so that the contents of the additive container may be in powder or granular form for example, for addition to a liquid.
