Patent number: 6367622Abstract: A container with separate storage spaces includes a body for retaining a first substance therein and a sealing structure securely attached to the body for hermetically sealing the first substance in the body. The sealing structure has a sealing package hermetically enclosing a second substance, whereby the second substance can be released from the sealing package to be mixed with the first substance by cutting open the sealing package with a cutting member slidably cooperative with the sealing structure. With the use of the sealing structure, the container of this invention allows a person to refill the first substance to the body and replace a cut-open sealing package with a new one on his own, without need of manufacturer equipments.Type: GrantFiled: June 8, 2001Date of Patent: April 9, 2002Inventor: Lily Hsu

Patent number: 6138821Abstract: A container device for separately enclosing two different substances is provided. A cap member having an air-tight closure assembly is received therein for air-tightly encapsulating a second substance removably mounted to a body. The body is integrally formed with a neck on which the cap member is removably mounted and has storage space for receiving a first substance. In order to prevent the first substance from leaking out of the body, the air-tight closure assembly is adapted to be compatible with the neck of the body which allows the storage space to be sealed air-tightly to prevent leakage. To release the second substance from the air-tight closure assembly, a cutting member is provided to cut open the air-tight closure assembly, which is accomplished by downwardly moving the cap member to bring the air-tight closure assembly to be in contact with the cutting member.Type: GrantFiled: November 30, 1999Date of Patent: October 31, 2000Inventor: Lily Hsu
