AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The present invention is related to a container assembly for mixing two substances. The assembly includes a container, a top cap, and a compartment cap. The compartment cap is designed to be detached from the container and has its own internal and external threads. This allows for easy mixing of the substances without the need for a separate mixing tool. The technical effects of this invention include simplifying the mixing process, reducing the likelihood of contamination, and improving the quality of the mixed substances.

Problems solved by technology

Furthermore, mixing of active ingredients, prior to their actual use and consumption, can cause the loss of nutrients, taste, and overall enjoyment of the intended product.
Conventional container caps do not allow for the complete amount of the contents to be released from the cap to the connected / anchoring bottle.
These conventional caps also do not allow the consumer to sample the separated ingredients before dispensing them or control the amount to be dispensed into the anchored container.
Conventional caps with separated compartments do not work efficiently because they do not allow for the complete amount of ingredients to be dispensed.

Embodiment Construction

[0017]The subject disclosure is described with reference to the drawings, wherein like reference numerals are used to refer to like elements throughout. In the following description, for purposes of explanation, numerous specific details are set forth in order to provide a thorough understanding of the present disclosure such that one skilled in the art will be enabled to make and use the present invention. It may be evident, however, that the present disclosure may be practiced without some of these specific details.

[0018]Broadly, an embodiment of the present invention provides a compartment cap for use with a container (e.g., a bottle). The cap includes a main body defining a cavity configured to receive a substance (e.g., a liquid or solid material), with an upper portion defining male threading and configured to removably couple to a top cap, and an intermediate portion comprising female threading and being configured to removably couple to the container.

Abstract

A compartment cap for use with a container, a container assembly, and a method for mixing at least two substances is disclosed. The compartment cap keeps one of the substances separated from the other substance until a user so desires to mix the at least two substances together, either entirely or in partial amounts. The compartment cap is designed such that it removably couples with the container. A top cap is further included that is capable of coupling to both the compartment cap and the container so that the compartment cap can be discarded when it is no longer keeping the retained substance separate from the container.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION[0001]This application claims the benefit of priority of U.S. provisional application No. 62 / 705,214, filed Jun. 16, 2020, the contents of which are herein incorporated by reference.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]The present invention relates to bottle caps and, more particularly, to a compartmentalized container cap for separating two elements in a single container.[0003]Elements (e.g., a powder and / or liquid) are often times mixed together to create a compound / combination of the disparate elements. Some federal regulations forbid the mixing of ingredients into food or beverages to be sold in a single container (e.g., a bottle). Furthermore, mixing of active ingredients, prior to their actual use and consumption, can cause the loss of nutrients, taste, and overall enjoyment of the intended product.[0004]Conventional container caps do not allow for the complete amount of the contents to be released from the cap to the connected / anchoring bottl...
