Benefits of technology

"The invention is a storage cap and fitment that can be used to release ingredients from a pouch, carton, or bottle. The cap has a line of weakening or tearable base and can be opened by pressing a button or pulling a plunger. The actuator, which is a cylinder with a cutting edge, can be manually depressed to dispense the contents of the cap. The invention can be used with various substances and is designed to prevent moisture and contamination. The actuator has seal rings to create a tight seal and can be made of plastic, rubber, metal, or other materials. The invention is easy to assemble and use, and can be covered with a dust cover for safety and protection."

Problems solved by technology

Many beverage, cleaning products, oil products, pharmaceuticals, and other chemicals and substances, do not retain their stability, strength, and effectiveness, for long after the ingredients have been mixed in a solution or suspension with a different liquid or substance.
This reduced shelf life after mixing mandates that the mixed product be utilized relatively soon after mixing to obtain full strength and effectiveness, to prevent loss of effective strength, deterioration, discoloration, interactions between ingredients and reduced effectiveness.

Embodiment Construction

[0167]Referring now to FIG. 1, a storage cap container 200 comprised of a rigid, molded body, with an angled bottom actuator 201 having an rigid angled bottom 202 for easy opening of a sealed bottom storage cap body 204, with air venting systems in the actuator 203 to allow air to escape during assembly and activation, and when positioned after sealed a seal ring barb-like angle 205 and one or more seal rings 206 allows a hermetic type seal for not allowing moisture build-up. The upper rim area of the angled bottom actuator 201 has a line of weakening 207 so that, when activated, the rim will break and the rim area 208 will stay attached in the storage cap body 210 resting area. On the top portion of the angled bottom actuator 202, there area one or more holes 209 throughout the top so that, when a safety seal 211 with absorbent material is pulled off and the angled bottom actuator 201 is activated, liquid can flow through the holes. The storage cap receiving body 212 is shaped to f...

Abstract

A container having a storage and dosing cap having a body storage chamber that can be used to mix several substances at the time of use. The container is typically a can, pouch, bottle, IV bags, cartons, drums or any type of container that can hold ingredients that are liquid, powder and or gel. A powder, liquid, and or gel stored in the cap body can be activated by pushing or twisting an actuator top area or outer cap area of the storage and dosing cap to be mixed into the container. The actuator which can have none or more than one angle on the bottom area of the actuator can break open the bottom of the storage cap area whether being a line of weakening or a seal with absorbent material or both to release product into a container when manually depressed or twisted.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]1. Field of Invention[0002]A liquid and or powder ingredient fitment cap, that can be mounted to a pouch, carton, bottle, can, drum, tube, syringe, IV, and IV instruments, or any container that can hold a substance for storing any ingredients used by a human being or animal.[0003]2. Description of Related Art[0004]Many beverage, cleaning products, oil products, pharmaceuticals, and other chemicals and substances, do not retain their stability, strength, and effectiveness, for long after the ingredients have been mixed in a solution or suspension with a different liquid or substance. Most all liquids, gels, or acquiesce type solutions are formulated for shelf life rather than for quality, effectiveness, and potency of a product. In many cases, ingredients such as: stabilizers, fillers, preservatives, binders, and other types of chemicals and substances that now can be reduced or eliminated by this invention. This reduced shelf life after mixing mandat...
