  • Publication number: 20080135424
    Abstract: An assembly for adding powder to a bottle of liquid product is disclosed herein. The assembly includes a section of bellows extending along an axis between a first end and a second end. The section of bellows is operable to collapse along the axis in response to an axially-directed force. The assembly also includes a top neck portion unitary and integrally-formed with the section of bellows at the first end and defining a first opening. The assembly also includes a cap releasable engageable with the top neck portion to selectively close the first opening. The assembly also includes a bottom neck portion unitary and integrally-formed with the section of bellows at the second end and defining a second opening. The bottom neck portion defines inwardly-facing threads for engaging outwardly-facing threads on the neck of a bottle. The assembly also includes a membrane disposed across the axis between the bottom neck portion and the section of bellows.
