  • Patent number: 6910798
    Abstract: A portable beverage delivery system for preparing and delivering a multi-component beverage whose plurality of individual components can be maintained separately for subsequent combination to form the beverage. A first embodiment includes a housing with a mixing chamber disposed therein to form the final beverage product. The chamber has an introduction aperture and an exit aperture which are separate or are the same, and the housing has an opening through which the exit aperture is accessible and through which a mixed beverage can be dispensed. A second embodiment is a two chamber structure disposed within a housing and having a first chamber for containing a first beverage element, a second chamber for containing a second beverage element, and an exit aperture. The chambers are separated by a frangible wall whereby rupture thereof results in mixing of the first and second liquids of the multi-component beverage to form the beverage product which then can be dispensed through the exit aperture.
