Benefits of technology
The present invention is a cap assembly for closing a container and mixing secondary ingredients with primary ingredients in a container. The cap assembly has a storage chamber for containing a secondary ingredient and a separate sealing assembly for sealing the container. The cap assembly is designed to be convenient, easy to use, and safe. The technical effects of the invention include improved sealing, easy opening of the storage chamber, and convenient use of a cap assembly for mixing ingredients in a container.
Problems solved by technology
However, the containers disclosed in the above patents have not commercially succeeded because of the problems such as inefficiency in a manufacture process, inconvenience in use, etc.
Recently, PCT / EP2002 / 004523 filed on Jan. 17, 2002 and Japanese Patent Application No. 2001-00185428 filed on Jun. 19, 2001 suggested other structure, but a commercial success has not been obtained.
Particularly, the structure disclosed in Japanese Patent Application mentioned above has a problem that a piece cut out from a discharging port falls into a container and a child may swallow it.
To overcome this problem, a discharging device which is not separated from a novel neck of a container has been developed, but such a discharging device could not be used to a conventional neck of a container.

The present invention relates to a cap assembly mounted on a discharging portion of a container for containing an ingredient different from that in accommodated in a container, which comprise a cap body a cap body formed by an upper cap part and a lower cap part which may be divided along a cut-off line; a housing with a storage chamber for a secondary ingredient formed by the lower portion of the upper cap part; a sealing assembly provided below the lower cap part, comprising a sealing element and a space through which the secondary ingredient may be discharged in use; and a mouth formed above the lower cap part. The cap assembly of the present invention has advantageous effects of convenience in use and of preventing alteration thereof.
Description
TECHNICAL FIELD[0001]The present invention relates to a cap assembly for closing a container and more particularly to a cap assembly having a storage chamber for containing a secondary material (ingredient) for example a concentrated liquid or a granule different from a material (ingredient) for example water or a beverage accommodated in a container.[0002]Such a cap assembly is useful in the various industrial fields such as medical, phar- maceutical, cosmetic and etc.BACKGROUND ART[0003]Generally, when a beverage that requires mixing up a liquid in a container with a granule or a concentrate liquid as additives or secondary ingredients such as carbon dioxide, vitamin powder, etc, it is often necessary that the container has a separate chamber for storage the secondary ingredients.[0004]There are many suggestions more than 5,000 including U.S. Pat. No. 937,049 (filed on Oct. 19, 1909) about the structure for mixing two or more ingredients in a container.[0005]However, the container...
