  • Patent number: 11046488
    Abstract: A substance container has a cap that defines a cap space for an additive. The cap has a cap space opening closed by a seal which may or may not be pre-weakened, and a flexible press top having a pushing mechanism that reaches through the cap space attached on one end to the flexible top, while another end of the pushing mechanism is directed to the opening. The flexible press top has an upper side and an opposite lower side arranged such that upon depression the pushing mechanisms hold fixed radial positions during translation to the opening, contact with the seal and push through the seal.

  • Patent number: 8302795
    Abstract: Caps for bottles with a box of powder material for preparation of beverages. The cap is applied to a basic box with a basic substance enclosed, as e.g. drinking water. The cap contains the other box with the other liquid or powder substance. The box is closed on the bottom-side with aluminum foil and a slant damper and on an upper side by a cover. The damper may be twisted around a hinge and have on an upper surface a one-arm vertical flexible lever arranged above the aluminum foil. The cover has on an internal plane bottom tangs, as well as a barrier, by which during winding up and winding off the cover acts on the lever. By winding off the cover a free end of the lever is elastically bent, creating in it a moment of force, which twists the damper and breaks through and removes the aluminum foil. Upon finishing mixing substances, the blend may be drank through the opening of the box.
