1. A container system for mixing two flowable products and dispensing the mixed products comprising:

  • a first container (1) that comprises;

    a first reservoir (1c) that is able to contain a quantity of first flowable product (P1);

    an opened top (1b) that comprises an orifice (1d) that gives access to the first reservoir (1c);

    a sealing surface (1e) that surrounds the orifice (1d); and

    a frangible membrane (1m) affixed to the sealing surface (1e) to seal off the orifice (1d);

    a first closure (2) that is able to be removably secured to the first container (1), having;

    an opened top (2b); and

    a sealing surface (2e) located inside the first closure (2),such that when the first closure (2) is mounted to the first container (1), then the sealing surface (2e) of the first closure bears down against the sealing surface (1e) of the first container;

    a second container (11) that comprises;

    a second reservoir (11c) that is able to contain a quantity of second flowable product (P2);

    an opened top (11b) that comprises an orifice (11d) that gives access to the second reservoir (11c);

    a sealing surface (11e) that surrounds the orifice (11d); and

    a second closure (12) that is able to be removably secured to the second container (11), having;

    an opened top (12b) that is formed as a extended spout (12i); and

    a sealing surface (12e) located inside the second closure (12),such that when the second closure (12) is mounted to the second container (11), then the sealing surface (12e) of the second closure bears down against the sealing surface (11e) of the second container; and

    wherein, the spout (12i) is able to be inserted into the opened top (2b) of the first closure (2), such that the spout will pierce the frangible membrane (1m) to establish flow communication between the first reservoir (1c) and second reservoir (11c); and

    wherein the first closure (2) further comprises a sealing ring (2i) that is fixed in a groove (2j) inside the first closure, above the level of the sealing surface (2e), andwherein the spout (12i) of the second closure (12) is sized for an interference fit within the sealing ring (2i), such that the sealing ring forms a seal around the spout when the spout is inserted into the opened top (2b) of the first closure (2).
