Abstract

A drink mix container having two openings with two caps. One opening is adapted to be positioned on a drink container. The drink mix container includes a plug attached to an opening that is not positioned on the drink container. The plug seals a receptacle and inhibits the drink mix from falling into the drink container upon removal of the first cap.

a first and a second opening that are coupled to the receptacle, wherein the first opening is configured to engage with the opening of a drink bottle;

a first and a second cap positioned on the first and second openings;

a removable stopper assembly positioned within the first opening wherein the removable stopper assembly inhibits the drink mix in the receptacle from flowing through the first opening upon removal of the first cap.

2. The container of claim 1, wherein the first and second openings are formed in first and second neck structures respectively that have an inner and outer side and wherein the inner side of the first opening is threaded to threadably engage with the threads of a drink container and wherein the outer sides of the first and second neck structures are threaded to receives the first and second caps.

3. The container of claim 1, wherein the stopper assembly comprises a plug that occludes the first opening.

4. The container of claim 3, wherein the plug is attached to the second cap by a stem so that removal of the second cap results in removal of the plug from the first opening.

5. The container of claim 4, wherein the first opening is contoured to have a seating surface that receives the outer contour of the plug to seal the first opening.

6. The container of claim 4, wherein the plug is deformable and is inserted into the first opening so as to seal the first opening.

7. The container of claim 4, wherein the plug is threaded and the inner surface of the first opening is threaded so as to receive the threads of the plug so that the plug is threadably engaged with the threads of the first opening to seal the first opening.

8. The container of claim 7, wherein a flexible flange extends outward from the threaded plug to contact the inner surface of the receptacle to further inhibit the mix from falling through the first opening.

9. The container of claim 4, wherein the stem is removable.

10. The container of claim 1, wherein the first and second openings are axially aligned so that the mixed fluid in the drink container and the mix can be poured or drunk through the mix container when the mix container is positioned on the drink container and the second cap is removed.
