Juan-Felipe JARAMILLO has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 11873155
    Abstract: The container is suitable for the separate packaging and storage of at least two contents, which need to be combined in the preparation of a ready-to-use product. Two container bodies each provided with a coupler are assembled by using a separate interface device as intermediate connector. A mixing mechanism is formed when inserting the couplers through opposite annular rings of the connector of the interface device. The interface device includes two openers having a different or opposite orientation, typically arranged inside a same puncturing structure of generally cylindrical shape, for releasing an internal passage initially sealed between two closure members. The closure members respectively close an access opening of the container bodies, hermetically. Relative movement of the closure members toward the openers allows communication between a first compartment and a second compartment.

  • Publication number: 20220388752
    Abstract: A container is assembled, using an interface connection device enabling separate packaging and storage of multiple contents to be combined in the preparation of a ready-to-use product. Two container bodies each having a coupler are connected by the separate device. A mixing mechanism is formed when inserting the couplers through opposite end female parts of the connector of the interface device. A container body compartment is sealed by a closure member. A stop arrangement retains a given coupler of the sealed container body in a first position in a corresponding end female part of the connector. Relative movement of a closure member toward an opener in the connector allows communication between two compartments. These compartments remain separate until action to overcome the stop and displace the given coupler from the first to second insertion position, with the opener releasing the container body compartment initially sealed by the closure member.

  • Publication number: 20210163209
    Abstract: The container is suitable for the separate packaging and storage of at least two contents, which need to be combined in the preparation of a ready-to-use product. Two container bodies are assembled by using an interface device as intermediate connecting element. A first connector and a second connector are used to form the device. A mixing mechanism is formed when coupling an inserting part of one of the connectors with an annular bearing portion of the other connector. The interface device includes an element, typically a puncturing structure, for releasing an internal passage initially sealed by a closure member, allowing communication between a first compartment and a second compartment. The respective connectors are thermoplastic pieces each integrally secured to a corresponding plastic container body, preferably by induction sealing using a metal medium.
