Dual chamber storage device
First Claim
1. A cap kit for a dual chamber storage device, the cap kit comprising:
- a first cap for engaging with a first container having a first material, the first cap comprising;
a first cap base portion;
a first cap engagement portion comprising a first groove and a second groove, the first groove being axially spaced apart from the second groove; and
a piercing protrusion; and
a second cap for engaging with a second container having a second material, the second cap comprising;
a second cap base portion;
a second cap engagement portion comprising a first rib and a second rib, the first rib being axially spaced apart from the second rib; and
a protective surface that forms an outermost surface of the second cap, the protective surface being deformable relative to portions of at least one of the second cap base portion and the second cap engagement portion;
wherein the first cap and the second cap are positionable in a first position and a second position;
wherein in the first position, the first cap base portion and the second cap base portion are opposite to each other, the protective surface is spaced apart from the piercing protrusion so as to protect the second material from mixing with the first material, and the second cap is immovable with respect to the first cap; and
wherein in the second position, the piercing protrusion deforms at least a portion of the protective surface, thereby permitting communication between the first container and the second container to mix the first material and the second material.

Abstract
A dual chamber storage device includes a first chamber having a base and a hollow body for storing a first material. A second chamber within the hollow body of the first chamber has a base, a hollow body for storing a second material, and a neck portion. A dispenser housed within the second chamber has a hollow body, a dispensing tip, and a cutting edge. A cap surrounds the end of the dispenser with the cutting edge, is rotatingly connectable with the second chamber neck portion, and is non-rotatingly connectable with the first end of the dispenser. When the cap is rotated relative to the second chamber neck portion, the second end of the dispenser moves toward the base of the second chamber and the cutting edge pierces the base of the second chamber thereby allowing the second material to enter the hollow body of the first chamber.

11. A storage device comprising:
-
a first container having a first material; a second container having a second material, the second container being oriented opposite to the first container; a first cap for engaging with the first container, the first cap comprising; a first cap base portion; a first cap engagement portion comprising a first groove and a second groove, the first groove being axially spaced apart from the second groove; and a piercing protrusion; and a second cap for engaging with the second container, the second cap comprising; a second cap base portion; a second cap engagement portion comprising a first rib and a second rib, the first rib being axially spaced apart from the second rib; and a protective surface that forms an outermost surface of the second cap, the protective surface being deformable relative to portions of the second cap base portion and/or second cap engagement portion; wherein the first cap and the second cap are positionable in a first position and a second position; wherein in the first position, the first cap base portion and the second cap base portion are opposite to each other, the protective surface is spaced apart from the piercing protrusion so as to protect the second material from mixing with the first material, and the second cap is immovable with respect to the first cap; and wherein in the second position, the piercing protrusion deforms at least a portion of the protective surface, thereby permitting communication between the first container and the second container to mix the first material and the second material. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13)
