Abstract: A closure with an additive reservoir is mounted on a container for a consumable liquid such as a beverage liquid or health drink. The closure has four components; a base, which includes the additive reservoir; a spout mounted on the base; a plunger positioned in the additive reservoir, and a tamper proof, dust resistant outer cap. Upon advancing the plunger, an additive in the reservoir is released into the consumable liquid upon the additive or plunger rupturing a membrane barrier. Upon moving the spout from a first position on the base to a second position on the base, a passageway through the base is opened so that the consumable liquid can flow to the consumer without having to remove the closure. Preferably, the additive chamber is mounted in a support column of the base with the passageway for the consumable liquid disposed between the additive chamber and the support column.

Abstract: A closure with an additive reservoir is mounted on a container for a consumable liquid. The closure has a base, which includes the additive reservoir; a spout mounted on the base; a plunger positioned in the additive reservoir, and an outer cap. Upon advancing the plunger, an additive in the reservoir is released into the consumable liquid after the additive or plunger ruptures or otherwise opens a barrier provided by a foil, membrane or plug. Upon moving the spout from a first position on the base to a second position, a passageway through the base is opened and the consumable liquid flows to the consumer without having to remove the closure. The additive chamber is mounted in a support column of the base with the passageway for the consumable liquid being disposed between the additive chamber and the support column. In a preferred embodiment the additive is the sole pressure link between the plunger and barrier.

Abstract: A closure with an additive reservoir is mounted on a container for a consumable liquid such as a beverage liquid or health drink. The closure has three components; a base, which includes the additive reservoir; a spout mounted on the base, and a plunger received in the additive reservoir. Upon depressing the plunger, an additive in the reservoir is released into the consumable liquid and upon moving the spout from a first position on the base to a second position on the base, a passageway through the base is opened so that the consumable liquid can flow to the consumer. Preferably, the additive chamber is mounted in the support column of the base with the passageway disposed between the additive chamber and the support column.

Abstract: A portable clean molding apparatus for receipt of molded articles ejected from a mold machine. The apparatus includes a receiving chamber having a first interior space and a selectively openable first door, a secondary chamber joined to the receiving chamber and having a second interior space and a selectively openable second door, and an air filtration cover unit installed over the receiving and secondary chambers so as to provide a low-particulate, positive airflow into the first and second interior spaces. The apparatus further includes at least one vent communicating with the second interior space so as to allow the airflow to exit the secondary chamber and at least one chute communicating with the first interior space so as to allow the airflow to exit the receiving chamber, the chute being located adjacent to the mold machine for the transfer of molded articles to the receiving chamber.
