Description

CLOSURE CAP FOR MOUNTING ON A LIQUID CONTAINER "

The present invention relates to a sealing cap, preferably a screw cap, for mounting in a liquid container, preferably a bottle, more preferably a PET bottle,

- a spout which is preferably resealable,

A receiving member which is liquid pervious to receive at least one carrier, preferably at least one tablet, said at least one carrier being in contact with the liquid;

And an opening for introducing the at least one carrier into or out of the receiving volume.

The present invention also relates to a carrier, preferably a tablet, for mixing with a liquid located in a liquid container sealed with a sealing cap according to the invention.

Finally, the invention relates to a system comprising at least one sealing cap according to the invention and at least one carrier according to the invention.

There is known a beverage bottle for drinking liquid during traveling or exercise, and a beverage bottle having a sealed cap, in particular. The beverage bottle usually includes a thread to which the sealing cap is threaded. The threads are standardized and the number of differently standardized threads of the beverage bottle is small. On the other hand, these bottles may be prefilled with, for example, mineral water or isotonic beverages which may be mixed with fragrances. On the other hand, a bottle may be provided in which the user is configured to receive as much liquid as necessary to mix. In this case, in addition to juice syrup, effervescent powder in powder form or in tablet form can be used.

In both of these cases, there is a disadvantage that the user is confined to the particular beverage mixture during the entire period of use of the beverage, i.e. from the beginning to the end of consuming the beverage, since only the selected fragrance is included in the liquid still contained in the bottle Which means that the user can no longer change the flavor while consuming the beverage.

However, throughout the first and last years of consumption of beverages, only the demand for certain spices can not be changed. If the user decides, for example, a non-isotonic drink and wishes to drink an isotonic drink after the user has exercised for a certain period of time, it is no longer possible due to the fluid still present in the bottle.

When making a beverage by foam definition, it is necessary to use a chemical to dissolve the foam, which means that only pure natural materials can be used to make the beverage, which can be regarded as a disadvantage.

Also, with respect to the foamable powders and foamed tablets, the powder or tablet may not completely dissolve and a portion of the powder or tablet may enter the user's mouth and feel very uncomfortable.

Incomplete dissolution may occur due to improper doses, particularly excessive concentrations, of foamable powder or foam. Maintaining the correct dosage is usually not always easy, as it is necessary to take into account the specific abundance of the liquid when mixing the powder or tablet with the liquid, usually water.

At least some of these disadvantages can be addressed in accordance with US2010 / 0012193A1. The document describes a liquid container provided with three parts: a tablet vessel, a container lid and a sealing cap composed of a sealed cap seal. The lid of the container must be opened by rotation and then rotated and closed again to insert the tablet into the tablet vessel. The container lid may be dropped or lost.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to provide a sealed cap for a liquid container which enables mixing of flavors and / or nutrients and / or dietary supplements and / or medicaments into a liquid acceptable in a liquid container by preventing the above- will be. In particular, simple manipulations must be ensured to enable simple exchange of fragrances and / or nutrients and / or dietary supplements. Furthermore, dose problems, especially concentrations of too high a level of flavors and / or nutrients and / or dietary supplements in the liquids should be prevented. At this time, it is also necessary to be able to use the natural substance to be mixed by providing a possibility to avoid the chemical substance.

The above object is attained by a sealing cap, preferably a screw cap, for mounting on a liquid container, preferably a bottle, more preferably a PET bottle,

- a spout which is preferably resealable,

- a receiving member which is liquid pervious to receive at least one carrier, preferably at least one tablet, said at least one carrier being in contact with liquid;

And an opening for introducing the at least one carrier into or out of the receiving volume.

According to the present invention, the receiving member can be operated in the use position of the sealing cap, and can be moved to both the charging position and the receiving position in the receiving volume for changing the carrier from the receiving volume through the opening.

Accordingly, the carrier can be exchanged without having to separate the sealing cap from the liquid container. Further, the receiving member can be operated in the lateral direction in the sealing cap, for example, in the direction perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the sealing cap. The opening is also located on the side of the sealing cap. In the loading position, the opening is opened for introducing a carrier and the receiving member can be at least partially separated from the receiving volume to take out the carrier located above or inside the receiving member and / (Or the whole of the receiving member can be exchanged). At the delivery position, the opening for introducing the carrier is sealed. At this time, the liquid flowing from the liquid container to the sealed cap attached to the liquid container can only escape from the sealed cap through the ejection port or through a mouthpiece attached to the ejection port. Next, the opening for introducing or removing the carrier is also sealed in a liquid-tight manner.

A liquid container sealed by a sealing cap according to the present invention, and preferably formed as a PET bottle, comprises a conventional jet or bottle opening which is sealed by a sealing cap in use position. The sealing cap may preferably utilize a small number of differently threaded bottle threads of different standardized types, which are associated with screw caps for all standardized water bottles or with a small number of different sealing caps. The hermetic cap typically has a mouthpiece that seals the air outlet of the hermetic cap and can be preferably switched from the hermetically closed position to the unlocked position or open position by moving the position of the mouthpiece. In the closed position, liquid can not pass through the mouthpiece through the sealed cap. The liquid in the liquid container at the use position can be safely stored by the sealing cap according to the present invention even when the user carries or carries it during sports activities. At the disengaged position, the liquid can pass through the sealed cap, allowing the user to drink.

The receiving member is fixedly disposed and detachably secured at a transmitting position within the receiving volume defined by the inner wall of the sealing cap in addition to the wall of the receiving member. By this arrangement, the liquid container is guided to the mouth of the user, so that, when drinking, the liquid can flow primarily through the housing member. When at least one carrier is disposed in the receiving member, liquid can flow around the carrier when consumed and the liquid, in particular fragrance and / or nutrients and / or dietary supplements and / or medicaments, can be supplied to the liquid, After mixing with the user, the user actually drinks the mixture. Thereby basically avoiding too high a concentration of the desired substance in the liquid.

In this connection, it should be noted that when the liquid container (bottle) is lowered after drinking, a certain amount of liquid will generally flow back from the housing member to the liquid container. A certain amount of the above-mentioned materials may be transferred to the residual liquid located in the liquid container, which needs to be taken into account in terms of the configuration or transfer characteristics of the carrier.

It is preferable that all the surfaces of the receiving volume (irrespective of the specific shape of the receiving volume) are surrounded to prevent the carrier from coming off the receiving volume. At this time, all the sides of the receiving volume are still surrounded, even if liquid permeability is provided which can be realized, for example, by small openings. All sides of the receiving volume can be surrounded by the receiving member itself or by the receiving member with another part of the sealing cap.

In order to cost-effectively manufacture the sealing cap, the housing member and / or other parts of the sealing cap may be made of plastic.

According to a preferred embodiment of the liquid container according to the invention, the liquid permeability of the receiving member is embodied in such a way that the receiving member comprises a through-hole, preferably arranged in a lattice-like or grid-like manner. Also, in this way, it is reliably prevented that the carrier or a part of the carrier enters the liquid container after drinking.

The possibility of liquid contact with the carrier in advance before drinking is basically dependent on the arrangement of the housing member in the sealed cap. In the case of a vertical liquid container, contact can be prevented when the entire housing member is located in a volume formed by the sealing cap. This means a volume defined by a virtual surface area defined by the sealed cap on the one hand and partially defined by the edge of the sealed cap on the other hand. The virtual surface area is substantially free of material to enable the sealing cap to be connected to the liquid container, in particular to enable closing the sealing cap on the container. This means that in this case contact of the sealed cap occurs only while the bottle is tilted, such as when the user is drinking. Therefore, according to a preferred embodiment of the liquid container according to the present invention, the entire receiving member at the transmitting position is disposed in a volume formed by the sealing cap.

According to another preferred embodiment of the liquid container according to the present invention, in order to prevent the receiving member from falling off from the sealing cap and not being lost or stained in the loading position, the receiving member is fastened to the sealing cap, And is fixed to the cap. When the receiving member can be pulled out from the sealing cap similarly to the drawer, it is possible to provide a fixing means which can be released during normal use and which can be released, for example, by a predetermined process for cleaning the receiving member have. According to the present invention, at the position of use of the sealing cap (in order to introduce the at least one carrier into the receiving volume or separate the carrier from the receiving volume), the opening can be sealed in a liquid-tight manner by the receiving member . In this case, no separate sealing portion is required for the opening portion; The receiving member itself is used as a sealing portion with respect to the opening. In particular, at the delivery position of the housing member, the liquid-tight area of the housing member can form a part of the side surface of the closed cap, that is, the surface of the closed cap seen from the outside and the housing member are connected to each other in a continuous manner. As a result, the receiving member forms an outer surface of the sealing cap and the cavity, and there is no projection or recess in which the contaminant can accumulate.

The opening may be sealed by a cover or a slide fixed to the sealing cap when the housing member is moved to the transfer position.

It may be advantageous that the operation of the receiving member is constructed so that the position of the receiving member is movable relative to the sealing cap, in particular along a straight line. Thus, the receiving member can be pulled out of the sealing cap or pushed into the cap, similar to a drawer. The direction of movement of the cap may be in particular perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the sealing cap (= the rotational axis in the case of a substantially rotationally symmetrical sealing cap or the direction of the liquid entering the sealing cap or the rotational axis of the bottle with which the sealing cap is fastened). Each guide portion for translatory movement, such as a recess or groove, can be provided on the inner surface of the sealing cap.

Alternatively, the receiving member can be twistable about an airtight cap, in particular along an axis parallel to the longitudinal axis of the airtight cap.

A combination of translating and rotating movement of the receiving member during insertion into the sealing cap or removal from the sealing cap may be considered.

It is particularly simple and convenient to fill the receiving member by constructing the receiving member such that it can be pushed into the corresponding opening in the sealing cap from the outside and pulled out again from the opening. This means that the receiving member can be pulled out of the opening to fill the receiving member, and at least one carrier can be placed in the receiving member and then the receiving member can be pushed back into the opening. It is therefore desirable to provide a receiving member comprising a bottom surface and a side surface (but no upper surface sealing the receiving member), wherein a through hole is disposed in the bottom surface. An additional member having a liquid passage hole is disposed between the housing member and the air outlet of the sealing cap so that the carrier or a part thereof can not reach the mouthpiece. Supplementary devices may be additionally provided on the side of the receiving member in order to facilitate manipulation of the receiving member (pulling out and getting in and / or twisting).

In this case, in order to produce the container simply and cost-effectively, according to a further advantageous embodiment according to the invention, the auxiliary device comprises a recess and / or protrusion on the side surface. The recess or protrusion allows the user to comfortably hold the container.

The receiving member completely enclosed by the side, top and bottom surfaces, including the top surface with a through hole, can be manufactured and sold in one unit with the carrier positioned therein. The unit may be connected to the side, top and bottom surfaces in a non-separable manner to constitute a disposable product which is replaced with a new unit consisting of a receiving member and a carrier.

A carrier, preferably in the form of a tablet, is provided for accommodating in a receiving member of a sealing cap according to the present invention in order to enable simple operation when using the sealing cap according to the present invention and to enable optimal administration.

Accordingly, the present invention provides the use of a carrier, preferably a tablet, in a receiving member of a closed cap according to the present invention.

According to a preferred embodiment of the delivery vehicle of the present invention, in order to make a beverage in contact with a liquid or to release flavors and / or nutrients and / or dietary supplements and / or medicaments and to mix them into a liquid, / RTI > and / or at least one water-soluble component for release of flavoring and / or nutrients and / or dietary supplements and / or medicaments. The nutrients include carbohydrates, minerals and vitamins. When several carbohydrates, minerals and vitamins are released, an isotonic drink can be prepared.

In order to allow the carrier to be received within the receiving volume of the receiving member, the carrier comprises a carrier volume not greater than the receiving volume of the receiving member. In particular, the carrier will have a dimension that allows for the swinging movement of the receiving member through the opening. In other words, the carrier must have a small but preferably large cross-section than the cross-section of the opening of the sealing cap through which the receiving member can be moved to the charging or transfer position.

The water-soluble members can be placed, for example, in a sponge that is at least partially filling the carrier volume, in order to ensure that the water-soluble member is spatially stable and that the water-soluble member further contributes to its inability to reach through the through- have. Therefore, according to a preferred embodiment of the carrier according to the present invention, the carrier comprises a sponge, preferably a plastic sponge. The plastic sponge may particularly preferably be formed in such a way that the liquid can easily reach the water-soluble member, for example by a sponge fabric made of thickly woven fibers.

In order to further improve operability, according to a preferred embodiment of the carrier according to the present invention, said carrier preferably comprises a liquid pervious netting fabric, in particular gauze, for holding the carrier in a carrier shape corresponding to the receiving volume of the receiving member do. This stabilized carrier shape allows the carrier to be changed simply and conveniently, especially after the water-soluble component is already dissolved entirely or at least partially and subsequently consumed. The deformation embodiment in which the carrier shape corresponds to the receiving volume shape of the receiving member also allows the carrier to be placed particularly stably in the receiving member or its receiving volume.

By arranging the net-like fabric on the outer surface of the carrier, it is possible to simplify the production and achieve a particularly good stabilization of the carrier shape.

According to a preferred embodiment of the carrier according to the invention, in order to avoid the use of chemicals for the production of beverages and to use only natural substances, said at least one water-soluble member is formed by a water-soluble layer whose surface contains perfumes and / / RTI > and / or < / RTI > balls in the delivery volume filled with materials such as syrups or teas containing dietary supplements and / or medicaments. In this case, the water-soluble layer is formed from water-soluble icing, especially sugar icing, and contributes to chemical avoidance.

The aging of the materials, especially flavors and / or nutrients and / or dietary supplements and / or pharmaceuticals, can be realized by several balls having different icing layer thicknesses. The ball with the thinnest eccentric layer first releases the material and the ball with the thicker eccentric layer thickness does not yet release the material. At a given point in time after the ice layer thickness is initially consumed for the thinner ball material, the thicker ice layer thickness will initially release the material stored therein.

In this connection, the subsequent substances are, for example, identical to the previous ones, so that a constant constant concentration of these substances in the liquid can be achieved. It is also possible to provide different materials inside the ball to provide a beverage having a fruit flavor initially and to provide an isotonic drink at a later time. This allows the athlete to carry only one single liquid container and drink different beverages over time, including isotonic drinks in this case.

Accordingly, according to a particularly preferred embodiment of the carrier according to the invention, it is possible to arrange a plurality of balls with the same material or with different materials, wherein the water-soluble layer of the balls is made of different layers Thickness.

Finally, the sealing cap according to the invention and the delivery according to the invention will be regarded as a system which makes it possible to make a simple drink or to add flavorings and / or nutrients and / or dietary supplements and / or medicaments to the liquid.

The present invention provides a sealed cap for a liquid container which enables mixing of flavors and / or nutrients and / or dietary supplements and / or medicaments in a liquid acceptable in a liquid container by preventing the disadvantages mentioned in the background art, In particular, a simple operation is ensured so that the fragrance and / or the nutrients and / or the dietary supplements can be simply exchanged, and furthermore the dose problems, in particular the concentration of the fragrances and / or nutrients and / At this time, it is also possible to use a natural substance to be mixed by providing a possibility to avoid a chemical substance.

Fig. 1 shows a liquid container in the form of a bottle 5 provided with a sealing cap 7. Fig. The sealing cap 7 of the use position 8 in which the sealing cap 7 seals the air outlet 9 of the bottle 5 is shown. The sealing cap 7 is screwed to the bottle 5 by means of a thread 34 (see Fig. 2). A surface structure 35 (not shown) having a recessed shape (see FIG. 4) may help the user to fasten the sealing cap 7 to the bottle 5.

A mouthpiece 33, shown in the closed position 11 in FIG. 1, is shown in the sealing cap 7. The sealing cap 7 in the sealing position 11 is impermeable to the liquid 37 which is contained in the bottle 5 and has a predetermined liquid level 38. [ The mouthpiece 33 can be moved from the closed position 11 to the discharge position (not shown) by moving the position of the mouthpiece 33 along the longitudinal axis 10 (see FIG. 2). The sealing cap 7 is permeable to the liquid 37 in order to allow the user to drink from the bottle 5 at the discharge position.

The bottle 5 comprises an inner wall 6 defining a range of volumes 4 in use position 8 together with the sealing cap 7. [ According to the invention, the housing member (1) is arranged in the volume (4) and the housing member can be pushed into the sealing cap (7). Fig. 2 shows this embodiment based on the anisometric projection of the exposed end face of the sealing cap 7. Fig. Fig. 3 shows the receiving member 1 removed from the sealing cap 7. Fig. The receiving member 1 includes a receiving volume 20 having a substantially cylindrical receiving volume shape. Here, the housing member 1 is schematically shown and will be described in more detail below.

The receiving volume 20 can accommodate at least one carrier, preferably at least one tablet 2, which is capable of coming into contact with the liquid 37 contained in the bottle 5, especially in the drinking water (see Figure 18) ). Whereby a beverage can be prepared or a substance such as flavorings and / or nutrients and / or dietary supplements and / or medicaments can be supplied to the liquid.

In the case shown, the receiving member 1 comprises a bottom surface 16 and a side surface 17 surrounding the bottom surface. The bottom surface 16 comprises, for example, a through-hole 15 which can be formed from a grating. The housing member 1 does not include an upper surface, that is, it is opened upward, so that the tablets 2 can be inserted easily from above. An additional member 13 in which the through-hole 15 for liquid is formed is formed in the sealing cap 7 so that the tablet 2 or a part thereof can not escape from the receiving volume 20 upward toward the mouthpiece 33. [ Is disposed between the housing member 1 (in the closed-charging position) and the jetting port 9 (or mouthpiece 33). At this time, the additional member 13 is disposed directly above the receiving member 1 so that the receiving volume 20 is surrounded by all the surfaces and corresponds to the open volume in the receiving member 1. [ At this time, the bottom member 16 and the additional member 13 are arranged flat and parallel to each other.

The liquid 37 comes into contact with the tablet 2 which is located in the receiving volume 20 and enters the receiving volume 20 through the through hole 15 of the bottom surface 16 and the member 13 at least during drinking. As shown in Figures 2 and 3, the apertures 15 are arranged in a regular arrangement to form a grid or a lattice pattern. The apertures 15 enable the delivery of substances, especially flavors and / or nutrients and / or dietary supplements and / or medicaments, from the beverage preparation or tablet 2 to the liquid 37.

In order to enable the receiving member 1 to correctly occupy its transmitting position, a guide portion, here a groove 14, is arranged on the inner side of the side portion of the sealing cap 7. [ The auxiliary device 18, that is, the projection 19 is used for the operation of the receiving member 1. [

Fig. 4 shows another embodiment of the sealing cap 7 which can be threaded into any water bottle, especially a PET bottle, normalized by a thread 34. Fig. To assist the user in opening the sealing cap 7, the sealing cap 7 has a surface structure as shown in Fig. 4, wherein the surface structure is formed as a fluting. Furthermore, the sealing cap 7 of FIG. 4 includes a detachable or tiltable cover 3 as shown in FIG. 5, which covers the mouthpiece 33.

Fig. 5 is an isometric view of the exposed cap of the sealing cap 7 of Fig. 4; Fig. The receiving member 1 thus removed is shown in Fig.

Compared to the variant shown in Figs. 1 to 3, the sealing cap 7 of Figs. 4 to 6 has a larger extension along the longitudinal axis 10. This creates more space in relation to the dimensions and shape of the opening 12 formed in correspondence with the receiving member 1 shown in Fig. 6 or the receiving volume 20 of the receiving member.

In both of the above embodiments, the entire housing member 1 is located in a volume formed only by the sealing cap 7. [ This means a volume defined by a virtual surface area which on the one hand is defined by the sealing cap 7 and which on the other hand is partly defined by the edge 40 of the sealing cap 7. The virtual surface area is substantially free of material for allowing the sealing cap 7 to be connected to the bottle 5 (see Fig. 1), preferably by screwing by a thread 34. Fig.

The receiving member 1 of Fig. 6 is formed in a substantially cylindrical shape and also includes a bottom surface 16 and a side surface 17. The housing member 1 can be pushed like a drawer into the corresponding opening 12 of the sealing cap 7 or pulled out of the opening 12 even when the sealing cap 7 is in the use position. The housing member 1 is inserted into or removed from the sealing cap 7 through the corresponding opening 12 in this manner when the sealing cap 7 is in the use position 8. Therefore, the user does not need to turn the sealing cap 7 from the bottle 5 to open the bottle 2 to fill the receiving member 1. [ The bottom surface 16 is detached from the mouthpiece 33 when the receiving member 1 is pushed into the corresponding opening 12 of the sealing cap 7. Here, the housing member 1 is schematically shown and will be described in more detail below.

Above the inserted housing member 1 there is a (annular) member 13 with a through-hole 15 whose end is connected to the receiving volume 20.

6, the receiving member 1 can also be provided with all the sides of the receiving volume 20 including the detachable upper surface, which can be tilted upwards and provided with the through-holes 15, . In this case, the member 13 can be omitted.

In the case of the embodiment according to Figs. 4 to 6, the receiving member 1 is arranged so that the receiving volume 20 is in contact with the receiving member 1 itself, i.e. the liquid-impermeable cylindrical side 17 and the liquid- As shown in FIG. 17, which is completely surrounded by the upper surface 21 and the upper surface 21. The member 13 in the sealing cap 7 may also be omitted due to the top surface 21. The carrier 2 can be inserted into the receiving member 1 according to Fig. 17 before the sealing in the manufacturing aspect and the receiving member 1 can be sealed so as not to be detached. When the carrier 2 is consumed or another carrier is desired, another carrier 1 with another carrier (not consumed, for example) is inserted.

The receiving member shown in Fig. 6 is arranged to allow the user to apply force to the receiving member 1 so that the receiving member 1 can be easily inserted into the opening 12 or the receiving member 1 can be taken out of the opening 12. [ (18) in the form of a protrusion (19) on the side (17) to which it can be applied. It is to be understood that the auxiliary device 18 may further include additional members, for example, recesses (not shown) in the side surface 17.

The through hole 15 is not provided in the side surface 17 and only the bottom surface 16 is provided with the through hole 15 so that the sealing performance of the sealing cap 7 is not threatened when the housing member 1 is inserted.

Fig. 7 again shows the sealing cap 7 of the same type as Fig. The sealing cap 7 is formed in a cylindrical shape in the region of the housing member 1. The housing member 1 is provided in Fig. 7 but seals the opening 12 in a liquid-tight manner by the side 17 of the housing member in the delivery position, Lt; / RTI > Thus, the side surface 17 forms part of the side surface 36 of the sealing cap 7.

The housing member 1 constructed in accordance with Fig. 7 can consist of a semicylindrical side surface 17, a liquid permeable bottom surface 16 and a liquid permeable top surface 21, as in Fig. 9, And 21 may be in contact with the side surface 36 of the receiving member 1 and in the transmitting position in which the receiving member 1 is completely inserted into the sealing cap 7. [ As a result, the carrier (tablet) 2 positioned in the receiving volume 20 is completely enclosed therein. In this case, all or a part of the carrier 2 can not reach the mouthpiece 33 covered by the cover 3. [

9, the housing member 1 of Fig. 7 may be formed without the top surface 21 as shown in Fig. In this case, however, an additional member 13 having a through hole as shown in Fig. 5 must be disposed between the housing member 1 and the jetting port 9 or the mouthpiece 33 in the sealing cap 7.

11 and 12 again show the sealing cap 7 of the same type as Figs. 4 and 7, in which the receiving member 1, which does not occupy the entire width of the sealing cap 7 (see Fig. 13) . In this case, the receiving member 1 has a substantially rectangular shape, and a portion (in this case, a narrow side) of the side surface 17 forms a liquid-tight seal of the opening 12 at the side 36 of the sealing cap. The remaining portion of the side surface 17 is located in the side surface 36 at the transmitting position of the receiving member 1.

The housing member 1 includes a flat top surface 21 and a bottom surface 16 which are liquid permeable. In order to prevent the liquid from flowing through the housing member 1, a blocking plate (baffle plate) 39 is provided inside the sealing cap 7 in the region of the extension of the height of the housing member 1, The plate seals the end face of the sealing cap 7 between the housing member 1 (at the transmitting position) and the side face 36 of the sealing cap 7 (see Fig. 14). (Baffle plate) 39 and / or the inner surface of the sealing cap 7 and the guide portion can be attached to each of the guides The housing member 1 can be pushed into the sealing cap 7 or removed from the sealing cap along with the guide portion.

In the case of all the embodiments having the accommodating member 1 which can be moved, the guide portion can be generally provided on the inner surface of the housing member 1 and / or the sealing cap 7. [

The receiving member 1 of Fig. 13 can include the cover surface 21 which can be tilted upwards to change the carrier 2. [ (The bottom surface 16 and the top surface 21 are not separated from the side surface 17) because the user can not approach the receiving volume 12 and can not take the carrier 2 And the whole of the receiving member 1 should be exchanged for inserting another conveying member 2.

The receiving member 1 of Fig. 13 may be formed without an upper surface 21, at which time the receiving volume 20 would have to be sealed by the additional member 13 similarly to Fig.

Figures 15 and 16 again show the sealing cap 7 of the same type as either of Figures 4, 7 or 11. At this time, the housing member 1 is twistably coupled to the sealing cap 7 by means of a hinge 41, wherein the hinge is arranged parallel to the longitudinal axis 10 of the sealing cap 7. The hinge 41 can be fastened to a vertical web on the sealing cap 7, and the web is disposed outside the side 36. The receiving member 1 can be operated by the projection 19, that is, horizontally outwardly bent or twisted.

At this time, the receiving member 1 may be arranged such that the side surface 17 surrounds the entire receiving member (i.e., the receiving member has the shape of a cylinder jacket) Is connected to the side surface (36) of the sealing cap (7) at the upper and lower portions in a liquid-tight manner. In this case the opening 12 of the sealing cap will be shaped in the form of a cylinder jacket and the entire jacket 17 of the housing member 1 at the use position 8 of the sealing cap 7 will seal the opening in a liquid- something to do.

The receiving member 1 itself may also surround the receiving volume 20 by the upper surface 21 and the bottom surface 16. In this case, it is conceivable that the housing member 1 is already provided with the carrier 2 on the manufacturing side and the side face 17, the upper face 21 and the bottom face 16 are connected to each other so as not to be separable from each other . In this case, the housing member 1 will be a disposable product. At this time, the receiving member will have to be separated from the hinge 41 to replace the carrier 2, and a new receiving member 1 with the carrier 2 inside must be mounted on the hinge.

The housing member 1 may be formed without the upper surface 21. In this case, however, it is necessary to further arrange the additional member 13 between the housing member 1 and the jetting port 9 similarly to Fig.

The housing member 1 (and the jacket 36 of the sealing cap 7) may be arranged as shown in Figs. In the case of FIG. 9, the hinge 41 will exert a force on the vertical end of the side surface 17. The carrier 2 can be inserted between the bottom surface 16 and the top surface 21 at the loading position without the side surface 17. In the case of Fig. 10, the carrier 2 can be conveniently located on the bottom surface 16 from above because there is no top surface 21. [ In this case, the end of the additional member 13 in the sealing cap 7 will be connected to the receiving volume 20 at the top. The side surface 17 will seal the opening 12 in a liquid-tight manner in both the embodiment according to Figs.

It is a matter of course that the receiving members of Figs. 4 to 16 can also be used for other types of sealing by appropriately adjusting the sealing cap and the receiving member. The receiving member 1 which can be twisted from the sealing cap shown in Figs. 15 and 16 or the narrower receiving member 1 shown in Fig. 13 may also be used, for example, for the sealing cap of Fig.

In general, embodiments of all receiving members may be arranged such that they do not form part of the side 36 of the sealing cap 7 in the transmitting position, regardless of whether they are twisted or displaceable. For this purpose, these receiving members will have to be dimensioned smaller perpendicular to the longitudinal axis. In this case, the opening 12 in Fig. 16 will be partially sealed by the side 36 of the sealing cap 7, for example (as in Fig. 8). The remaining openings 12 may be sealed in a liquid-tight manner by a lid (slide, etc.), which may be connected to the outer surface of the sealing cap 7 to prevent loss. The lid may form part of the side 36 of the closure member.

In all embodiments in which the opening 12 is sealed in a liquid-tight manner by the receiving member 1 or by a part of the receiving member 1 (for example by a part of the side surface 17) (Part of) the housing member 1 to which the end portion is connected when the sealing cap 7 is pushed into the housing 7. In this case, the sealing portion can be overlapped with the sealing cap 7 at both ends and hooked to the sealing cap. The same principle of the enclosure can be applied when the opening 12 is sealed by a separate lid as described above.

An additional seal may be provided on the one hand to provide a seal between the lid or housing member 1 and the sealing cap 7 or its side 36 on the other hand.

Figure 18 is a isometric view of a part of the exposed section of the tablet 2 which can be placed in the receiving member 1 according to the invention, the tablets being schematically shown. In the case of the embodiment of the tablet 2 shown in Fig. 18, the tablets have a cylindrical shape. This shape is included in a modified embodiment of the receiving member 1 shown in Fig. It is of course possible to consider arranging the tablets 2 of Fig. 18 in the receiving member 1 of Fig. On the other hand, it is not necessary to match the shape of the tablet 2 to the receiving volume 20 basically.

In any case, one condition that needs to be met is that the transporter volume 24 of the transporter 2 should not be larger than the acceptance volume 20.

Tablet 2 includes gauze 23 disposed on the outer surface 26 of the carrier to continuously maintain tablet 2 in carrier shape 22.

Figure 18 also shows, in cross section, that the carrier volume 24 is filled with a plastic sponge 25. [ A ball 27 is also disposed within the delivery volume 24. The liquid 37 can penetrate the ball 27 through the plastic sponge 25. [ The mesh fabric of the gauze 23 is also permeable to the liquid 37.

The ball 27 may be mixed into the liquid 37 to function as a beverage preparation or a water soluble member for flavor and / or nutrient and / or dietary supplement and / or drug release. For this purpose, the balls 27 are arranged according to the sectional view of FIG. That is, each ball 27 has a surface 29 formed by a water-soluble icing layer 28, preferably made of sugar. The icing layer 28 defines a range of the interior 30 of the ball and has a predetermined icing layer thickness 31. A substance to be added to the liquid 37, in particular flavors and / or nutrients and / or dietary supplements and / or medicaments, is disposed in the interior 30 of the ball. In the embodiment of FIG. 19, the syrup 32 is filled in the inside 30 of the ball.

Syrup 32 is released or added to liquid 37 and mix / liquid 37 only when the icing layer 28 with an icing layer thickness 31 is dissolved.

The thickness of the eccentric layer 31 may be provided in different thicknesses in different balls 27 so that the eccentric layer 28 may take different amounts of time to dissolve. Therefore, the mixing progress of the syrup 32 can be specified. Furthermore, the different balls 27 may contain different materials in each of the inner portions 30 of the balls. Thus, for example, some balls 27 contain syrup 32 to provide an isotonic drink after the ball 27 has contacted the liquid 37 for a predetermined period of time, while other balls 27, Provide other materials.

Further, the balls 27 may be provided in different sizes, that is, they may have different diameters as shown in FIG. (Syrup 32) located in the interior 30 of the ball in accordance with the contact duration of the ball 27 and the liquid 37 in conjunction with the different ice layer thicknesses 31, . ≪ / RTI >

Finally, the balls 27 of different sizes with different icing layer thicknesses 31 may be arranged with different materials (not necessarily the syrup 32, as described above). As a result, it is possible to determine the mixing progress of the liquid 37 with different amounts of different substances with time.
