Definitions

  • This invention relates to a container, more specifically to a container for mixing and dispensing fluids.
  • a container characterised in that it includes two compartments separated by a removable partition and wherein graduations are provided for each compartment.
  • the partition to provide a fluid impervious seal between the compartments; for the graduations to be provided on the container; for the container to be open-topped; for the container to include a handle; and for the container to include a spout.
  • the container to include a slot on its inner surface wherein the partition locates.
  • the slot to be defined by a pair of parallel flanges extending from the surface of the container; alternatively for the slot to be formed in the surface of the container.
  • the partition to include a flexible skirt extending along the periphery thereof engageable with the container.
  • a further feature of the invention provides for there to be more than two compartments separated by one or more removable partitions.

  • Figure 4 is a perspective view of a third embodiment of a container.
  • Figure 5 is a perspective view of a fourth embodiment of a container.
  • a container (1) is shown in Figures 1 and 2 and is shaped to form a jug or pitcher having an elongate open top (3) with rounded corners and with substantially upright sides (5, 6, 7, 8).
