Lid-container for independent mixing and a method for its application

Abstract

The inventive cover-container for self-contained mixing comprises a body consisting of side walls, a bottom and a sealing surface which form the inner space of the body, in which an insert that interacts with the bottom is disposed. The body is provided with a mechanism for joining the body to a vessel stopper ring, the bottom or the side wall of the body is corrugated, and the sealing surface is in the form a film which is hermetically attached to the side walls. The aim of the invention is to design a novel structure of a cover-container which provides aseptic conditions for dissolving or mixing substances in a liquid contained in the vessel and reliably insulating the vessel contents from the environment.

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

[0029]In addition to the primary purpose of storing and transporting the vessel contents, and the lid's purpose of isolating the vessel contents from the environment, the solution of the stated objective by means of the claimed design of the lid-container for independent mixing and the method for its application, makes it possible to mix or dissolve one or several substances (isolated in the additional sealed cavities of the lid or the vessel neck) in the liquid contained in the vessel immediately before use and prior to unsealing a bottle, flask or other vessel sealed with a lid, while maintaining factory isolation of the vessel's contents from the environment.

[0030]The claimed design and the method for its application are novel because, as of the application date, no similar solution has been known to the author and applicant from available sources of information. The claimed design and the method for its application are inventive because, prior to the application date, no person skilled in the pertinent art has offered a similar solution, with minimum investment and substantially longer shelf life of solution components.

[0030]The claimed design and the method for its application are novel because, as of the application date, no similar solution has been known to the author and applicant from available sources of information. The claimed design and the method for its application are inventive because, prior to the application date, no person skilled in the pertinent art has offered a similar solution, with minimum investment and substantially longer shelf life of solution components.

[0031]The claimed design and the method for its application are applicable industrially because an average person skilled in the field would not doubt the possibility of their implementation into production and in daily life. The invention, in any form of embodiment of the inventive concept, is realizable industrially using regular machine building means.

Problems solved by technology

A shortcoming of this lid is that this design does not make it possible to seal and store solution components separately, and when it is necessary to mix the bottle contents, the seal is disturbed and it is not possible to avoid exposure to the environment.

The method for application of the known design does not make it possible to ensure reliable isolation of the vessel contents from the environment.

In other words, mixing from the very start disturbs the state of stable isolation in the lid interaction with the vessel.

Moreover, the technical characteristics of the method for application of the known design do not ensure a reliable isolation of the contents during storage, and the method is useless for sterile packaging and storage of medicinal preparations and food products that are not resistant to microbial contamination.

It is impossible to continue applying tangent forces to the lid side surface and screw on the lid.

However, this design has substantial volume limitations of components for mixing.

Herein, the method for application of the known design, as well as the method described earlier, does not facilitate a reliable isolation of vessel contents from the environment during mixing.

Moreover, due to its technical characteristics, the above method for packaging does not provide reliable isolation of the contents during storage.

Therefore, it is useless for sterile packaging and storage of medicinal preparations and food products that are not resistant to microbial contamination.
