Definitions

  • the present invention concerns an assembly which is adapted for dispensing a food supplement composition into a container.
  • This assembly generally comprises an outer cap and an inner cap as described herein.
  • a food and/or food supplement product is contained in powder, granule or pellet form.
  • This product can be manually discharged after removing a seal from the bottom of the outer cap and applying pressure to its top surface.
  • the discharge of the product is effected after screwing the assembly on a suitable beverage container for water or a water based product.
  • a dispensing closure for a container allows to selectively dispense a product carried by the closure into a container.
  • Such closure may be provided with a compartment to contain the product to be dispensed.
  • Such compartment may be formed by a cylindrical side wall, a top wall and a frangible bottom wall.
  • a cutting blade is moveable relative to the side wall and the bottom wall to break open the frangible bottom wall to selectively dispense the contents into the container.
  • Document US 2011/000800 Al discloses an inverted dome for supplying dosing means to an attached main vessel.
  • the inverted dome comprises an inverted dome dispensing closure having a housing, which housing comprises a septum, a thinner convex dome and an end plate seal.
  • Document GB 2 501 755 A discloses a storing and mixing device, comprising a first and a second chamber. The opening between the two chambers is sealed by a plug which is moveable between a storing position and a mixing position. The plug may be moved via a deformable membrane.
  • Such assembly should further provide for an easy adaption to commercially available beverage containers.
  • one particular assembly can be used with various containers.
  • the assembly should further be capable to be filled with any solid food or food supplement product having the ability to free-flow.
  • This assembly comprises:
  • outer cap a semi-rigid container having the shape of a closure, hereinafter referred to as "outer cap", containing a food or food supplement product in powder, granule or pellet form.
  • the top part of the outer cap is flexible, yet impermeable, in order to move under moderate pressure.
  • the bottom part of the outer cap is open to facilitate filling. All other parts of the cap are rigid and completely impermeable.
  • inner cap a separator valve, hereinafter referred to as "inner cap”.
  • bottom part may be conically shaped in order to seal the bottom part of the outer cap after the later has been filled and yet facilitate the free flow of the contained formulation.
  • the inner and outer caps When interlocked the inner and outer caps form an impermeable compartment having a nominal volume of 5 ml_ that secures the cap ingredients.
  • the top part of the inner cap comes into direct contact with the flexible top part of the outer cap.
  • Application of moderate external pressure on the top of the outer cap thus relocates the inner cap and releases the product.
  • the middle part of the inner cap may be rod shaped and its diameter is such that does not allow the inner cap to be dispensed together with the cap contents.
  • the foil can also be comprised of any composite material suitable for food packaging provided that it is air impermeable.
  • the dispensing closure described above can be adapted on many commercially available beverage containers. In this way, several caps can be sold separately lowering manufacturing and commercialization costs. Furthermore, the cap which may be stored separate from a beverage container is protected from the beverage humidity.
  • the cap can be filled with any solid food or food supplement product having the ability to free-flow.
  • Preferable dosage forms are powder, granules or pellets for oral solution. All materials used must be compatible to international food and food supplement law. In addition all materials must be water soluble.
  • the present invention concerns an assembly adapted for dispensing a food supplement composition into a container, the assembly comprised of:
  • an outer cap having a generally inverse U-shaped cross-section with a substantially cylindrical or conical wall section and a generally dome-shaped top section
  • the outer cap being adapted to engage with an aperture of the container, and the outer cap being adapted to deform upon a force or pressure being exerted thereon from an outside;
  • an inner cap generally provided inside the outer cap and comprising a disk and a link, wherein the disk is shaped and dimensioned to form a closure of the cylindrical or conical wall section at a second end region thereof, and wherein the link connects the disk and the outer cap and is adapted to displace the disk relative to the second end region of the cylindrical or conical wall section when a force or pressure is exerted on the outer cap, such that a gap is formed between the cylindrical or conical wall section and the disk;
  • valve comprising a valve seat and a valve member, respectively.
  • the valve seat and the valve member can be formed complementary to each other.
  • a form-fit connection between the valve seat and the valve member can be provided, when the assembly is in a rest position, respectively in a non-operated state.
  • This form-fit connection can easily but tightly close the compartment formed by the outer cap. Thereby, the valve can prevent the food supplement composition inside the compartment from flowing out of the compartment.
  • valve seat and the valve member can have a conically tapered form.
  • a closure can be achieved which is relatively tolerant regarding possible manufacturing and/or assembling inaccuracies.
  • the valve seat can be formed as a ring or protrusion which is arranged on the inner surface of the second end region of the cylindrical or conical wall section.
  • the valve seat can protrude from the inner surface of the second end region of the wall section.
  • the protruding valve seat can have a substantially triangle-shaped cross section.
  • the valve seat can be provided with a smaller inner perimeter on an end that is closer to the top section and a larger inner perimeter on an end that is further spaced from the top section.
  • the end of the valve seat being further spaced from the top section can have the same inner perimeter as the second end region of the wall section adjacent to this spaced end section.
  • the valve seat can preferably be formed integrally with the second end region of the cylindrical or conical wall section of the outer cap.
  • the complementary valve member can be formed by the rim of the disk.
  • the disk can have a substantially conical form with a cylindrical base portion attached to the conical portion in the direction averted from the top section. Thereby, the apex of the disk can be pointing towards the top section of the outer cap. Thus, the portion of the disk having the largest outer perimeter is oriented towards the main vessel.
  • the largest outer perimeter of the disk is larger than the smallest inner perimeter of the valve seat (protrusion). Further, the largest outer perimeter of the disk can match the largest inner perimeter of the valve seat (protrusion).
  • a valve seat and valve member connection only allows movement of the inner cap, in particular the disk, in one direction.
  • a movement of the disk towards the top section can be blocked by means of the form-fit connection of the valve.
  • a movement of the inner cap towards the inside of the compartment can be inhibited. This prevents the assembly from forming a gap and losing food supplement composition through unintentional movement of the disk towards the inside of the compartment.
  • the assembly can further comprise a seal which is provided at the second end region of the conical or cylindrical wall section adapted to protect the food supplement composition in the compartment from moisture, air or contaminants.
  • a seal can be removably attached to a rim of the second end region of the conical or cylindrical wall section.
  • the afore-mentioned limitation of movement can be seen as an additional safety feature.
  • By limiting the movement of the disk in the direction towards the top section the risk of an unintended damage of the seal can be reduced.
  • An unintentional local high pressure on the seal from the outside of the assembly in the direction towards the top section usually involves the risk of breaking the seal.
  • this risk can be reduced to a minimum.
  • the seal itself can inhibit unintended movement of the disk in the direction of the main vessel and thus can prevent the forming of a gap which would allow the release of the food supplement composition.
  • the pressure is distributed over the whole surface of the disk which is in contact with the seal. Hence, a relatively high pressure would be needed to break the seal whereby the risk of unintended damage can be reduced.

  • the assembly 10 has an outer cap 12 having a generally inverse U-shaped cross-section with a substantially conical wall section 14 and a generally dome-shaped top section 16 closing or terminating a first end region 18 of the conical wall section 14.
  • the conical wall section 14 can also have a generally cylindrical shape. Both of the latter alternatives can either have a circular cross-section or a polygonal (e.g. hexagonal or octagonal) cross-section.
  • the outer cap 12 is provided with an internal thread 46 at a second end region 26 of the conical or cylindrical wall section 14 to engage with a corresponding external 48 thread provided at an aperture 52 of the container 50.
  • the outer cap 12 is made of a plastic material such as Polyethylene (PET). Therefore the outer cap 12 can be deformed by a force or pressure being exerted thereon from an outside. More specifically (and as depicted by the arrow A shown in Fig. 2), the dome-shaped top section 16 can be depressed in a generally longitudinal direction of the assembly 10.

  • An inner cap 20 is generally provided inside the outer cap 12 and comprises a disk 22 and a link 24.
  • the inner cap 20 is formed separately from the outer cap 12, so that the assembly 10 is designed in a two-part form.

  • the disk 22 is shaped and dimensioned to form a closure of the cylindrical or conical wall section 14 at a second end region 26 thereof. Thereby, a food supplement composition compartment 28 is formed and limited by the top surface section 16, the cylindrical or conical cylindrical wall section 14 and the disk 22.
  • the link 24 connects the disk 22 and the outer cap 12 and is adapted to displace the disk 22 relative to the second end region 26 of the cylindrical or conical wall section 14 when a force or pressure is exerted on (the dome-shaped top section 16 of) the outer cap 12. Thereby a gap 30 is formed between the cylindrical or conical wall section 14 and the disk 22.

  • the portion of the disk 22 having the largest outer perimeter is oriented towards the main vessel.
  • the largest outer perimeter of the disk 22 substantially matches the largest inner perimeter of the valve seat 19 and thus allows a closing, form-fitting engagement between the valve seat 19 and valve member 22, when the assembly is in a rest position.
  • a seal 34 is provided at the second end region 26 of the conical or cylindrical wall section 14.
  • This seal 34 is provided and adapted to protect the food supplement composition 40 in the compartment 28 from moisture, air and contaminants.
