DUAL COMPONENT DISPENSING APPARATUS

摘要

This invention relates to apparatus for separately storing and subsequently mixing two components of a substance to be dispensed. The invention therefore comprises apparatus for separately storing and subsequently mixing first and second components of a substance to be dispensed, the apparatus comprising a container (2) defining a chamber (3) for receiving the first component (4), a closure member (6) connected to the container to close an outlet of the container, a vial (7) comprising a first portion (8) formed integrally with the closure member (6) and a second portion (9) releasably connected in sealing engagement with the first portion (8) to define therebetween a compartment (11) for receiving the second component (12), and vial opening means actuatable by movement of the closure member relative to the container to move the second portion out of sealing engagement with the first portion to thereby establish communication between the chamber and the compartment for mixing of the first and second components.
