SELECTABLE, MULTIPLE CHAMBER CONTAINER HAVING SINGLE NOZZLE ASSEMBLY

摘要

A container, a support cup coupled to the top of the container, a nozzle orifice from which product is dispensed is integrated with a cap. A barrel is integrated in the cap in communication with the nozzle orifice. A valve assembly is supported by the support cup, the valve assembly having an outlet, the outlet directly or indirectly coupled to and in communication with the barrel, the valve assembly further having an inlet. Three are a plurality of chambers or bags, each having a bag outlet. A plurality of valve assembly inlets allows ingress into the valve assembly. A blocking member selectively blocks the pathway from a bag outlet to a corresponding valve assembly inlet. A selection switch/lever/dial integrated in the cap is operable to open a pathway through the valve assembly to the nozzle so as to release product from a selected bag.

主权项

1. An apparatus for dispensing a plurality of products, consisting essentially of:
a container; at least two bags positioned within the container, each bag being configured such that when product is contained therein, such product in each bag is isolated from the product in the other bags; a nozzle assembly attached to the container and having a single nozzle or orifice from which product is dispensed or sprayed from within one of the at least two bags; the nozzle assembly coupled to the at least two bags, whereby each of the at least two bags has a separate conduit from the interior thereof into the nozzle assembly, wherein the nozzle assembly can be configured so that each and every conduit into the single nozzle or orifice is simultaneously, entirely closed, or only a single conduit from a selected bag is entirely open for fluid communication with the single nozzle or orifice and the conduit from the remaining bags are entirely closed; an actuator integrated into the nozzle assembly operable to release product from the selected bag via the single nozzle or orifice; a switch/lever/dial movably coupled to the nozzle assembly and responsively coupled to a blocking/unblocking member, operable to open a conduit to the selected at least two bags from which the product is to be dispensed or sprayed when the actuator is depressed or otherwise actuated.
