  • Patent number: 4573506
    Abstract: The invention relates to an assembly for preparing and dispensing a solution and to the stopper for such an assembly, said assembly comprising a first bottle containing a first liquid component, with an elongated head; a second bottle containing a second component, liquid or solid; a stopper for this second bottle presenting a recess whose shape is homologous of the head of the first bottle, and in which said head is for example screwed. The bottom of the recess is constituted by a membrane of deformable material comprising an axial orifice which is hermetically closed, in the absence of deformation of the membrane, by the natural radial constriction of the material of the membrane. By screwing the first bottle in the stopper, the membrane is axially deformed and the orifice is radially distended, thus allowing the two bottles to be placed in communication in reversible manner. The invention also relates to a process for making the stopper.

  • Patent number: 4559983
    Abstract: The invention relates to a device for preparing and dispensing a solution. A bottle containing a substance to be disolved is closed by a disc-shaped base having a rigid rod thereon and a deformable head. A tube of solvent is closed by an apertured slidable piston. Mixing is effected by placing the piston against the rigid rod and applying axial pressure which dispenses the solvent from the tube, through a capillary channel in the rod and into the bottle. Slots in the rod are revealed during this operation to allow the air to escape from the bottle. The deformable head also serves to pressurize the bottle to permit dispensing therefrom.

  • Patent number: 4460090
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a container which is notably intended to hold pills, and it comprises on the one hand an external, rigid envelope 10 and on the other hand an internal envelope 11 enclosing the pills, this internal envelope being elastically deformable and capable of an increase in volume which is sufficient for absorbing the surplus pressure resulting from the packing of the pills when the lid is applied, without crushing the pills.In a first embodiment, the internal envelope 11 is cylindrical and it has a convex, deformable base 12.In a second embodiment, the internal envelope is a sleeve provided with at least one slit allowing its radial expansion.
