  • Patent number: 9132950
    Abstract: A dispensing capsule has an upper cap having a concave depression and a lower cap. The lower cap defines an internal chamber adapted to contain a first ingredient and has an upper flexible seal, a lower sealing member, and a plunger disposed in the internal chamber, whereby the plunger is engaged with the upper flexible seal. The flexible seal may be a blast or flexible bellow. The upper cap is threadingly engaged with the lower cap and lower cap adapted to threadingly engage a container, such as a bottle, IV bag, or the like. Twisting the upper cap with respect to the lower cap causes the concave depression to apply downward force to the upper flexible seal, causing the plunger to displace downward and break the lower sealing member, dispensing said first ingredient from the internal chamber into the container below.

  • Patent number: 8839982
    Abstract: A dispensing capsule, comprising a cap body including a chamber, whereby the bottom of the chamber is sealed by a sealing member. The cap body includes one or more plungers, each plunger received in a sub-chamber of the chamber, and one or more flexible actuators engaged to the one or more plungers, whereby the actuators are accessible at a top portion of the cap body. The flexible actuators may comprise a bellow-type blast or stepped blast. In some embodiments, a dust cover is provided to cover said top portion of the cap body. By applying pressure to the one or more actuators, the one or more plungers displace downward and break at least a portion of the sealing member. This allows for independent dispensing of an ingredient stored in each of the sub-chambers.
