  • Patent number: 5246142
    Abstract: A novel mixing and dispensing container is provided herein. The novel container includes a container for containing a first ingredient, the container including an internal shoulder therein; (b) a dispenser compartment for insertion into the container, for storing a second ingredient which is segregated from the first ingredient prior to use, the dispenser compartment having a preformed weakened region in a selected wall thereof; (c) a removable closure for the container, the removable closure being connected to the dispensing compartment, the removable closure being adapted to close the container; and (d) a projection on the dispenser compartment for engaging the shoulder during removal of the closure. Opening of the container by removal of the removable closure causes the projection on the dispenser compartment to engage the shoulder in the container. This permits another portion of the dispenser compartment to be raised with respect to the container.
