Dispensing nozzle for multi-compartment container
First Claim
1. A dispensing nozzle for a container having at least two separate compartments defined by a partition and a single neck, said nozzle comprising:
- a hollow shell having an outer surface, an inner surface, a distal end, and a proximal end, said shell defining a fluid discharge passage;
at least one partition projecting inwardly from the inner surface of the shell, said partition defining at least two channels within the shell; and
a flange extending from the outer surface of the shell, said flange having an upper surface and a lower surface, said lower surface configured so as to be able to seat against the neck of the container;
wherein the proximal end of the shell extends beyond the flange such that it is adapted to straddle each partition of the container and such that it forms a seal against an inner face of each separate product compartment of the container.

Abstract
A dispensing nozzle for a container having at least two separate compartments and a single neck finish. The dispensing nozzle comprises a hollow shell having an outer surface, an inner surface, a distal end, and a proximal end. At least one partition projects inwardly from the inner surface of the shell, the partitions defining at least two channels within the shell, each channel aligning with a separate compartment of the container. A flange extends radially from the outer surface of the shell, the flange having an upper surface and a lower surface, the lower surface seating against the sealing surface of the container neck. The proximal end of the shell extends beyond the flange and is configured so as to conform to the dimensions of the inner surface of the container neck.
