Embodiment Construction

[0046] A container configured to isolate first and second fluids prior to dispensing and then combined during dispensing is provided, as well as a method of assembly and dispensing. The container is suitable for a variety of dispensing and the fluid may be a beverage ingredient or a beverage concentrate. Advantageously, the first and second fluids are kept separate prior to dispensing. It is also advantageous that during dispensing preferably only or substantially only the dispensed portions of the first and second fluids mix. That is, not all of the first and second fluids are mixing during a given dispensing cycle. The isolation of the dispensed portions of the first and second fluids prior to dispensing can limit or prevent the ability of one fluid to interact with the other. Avoiding such interactions can increase the shelf life of filled containers, for example, where fluid interactions can reduce shelf life. Such isolation can be achieved while still providing a conta...

Abstract

A container (100) is provided for isolating first and second fluids prior to dispensing, such as beverage concentrate components, and methods of assembly and dispensing are provided. The container may have a first closing body (111) and a second closing body (113) for holding first and second fluids to be dispensed, and an insert (130) leading from the closed body Fluid, such as towards one or more valves or separate discharge paths (148a, 148b).

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a container and a method of isolating liquids prior to dispensing, in particular, a method for isolating and dispensing different liquids forming at least part of a beverage. Background technique [0002] Concentrated liquids can be used to reduce the size of the package needed to supply the desired amount of the end result product. However, some concentrated liquids will have a shelf life which, due to certain components, is shorter than the desired shelf life. For example, when an acid such as citric or malic acid is added to the liquid concentrate, the acid will shorten the shelf life of the liquid concentrate. [0003] Various attempts have been made to separate the different components prior to distribution. Some of these attempts, such as that described in US Patent No. 7,017,735, include providing a device with a smaller chamber having a perforated wall to dispense its contents into a larger chamber. Various o...
