Abstract

A multiple compartment mixing unit dose is provided. A rupturable smaller unit dose within a flexible larger unit dose allows mixing of desired composition immediately prior to use. The composition is mixed by rupturing the smaller unit dose and massaging the composition in the flexible larger unit dose. The components of the desired composition are different colors and produce a third color when completely mixed. This color can be viewed through a transparent portion of the larger unit dose. The composition is dispensed out of the tip of the elongated portion of the larger unit dose.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 ) A compartmented package adapted for containing a first component separately circumscribed from an additional component or components of a desired composition, comprising: 
 (A) a flexible receptacle containing the first component of the desired composition;    (B) a sealed rupturable bladder or bladders filled with the additional component or components of the desired composition contained within the body of said flexible receptacle, wherein the additional component or components can be forced out of said rupturable bladder or bladders and mixed with the first component in said flexible receptacle creating said desired composition; and,    (C) an elongated portion of said flexible receptacle capable of dispensing the desired composition out of said flexible receptacle.    
     
     
         2 ) A compartmented package, comprising: 
 (A) a flexible receptacle containing a first component of a desired composition;    (B) a sealed rupturable bladder or bladders filled with an additional component or components of said desired composition contained within the body of said flexible receptacle, wherein said additional component or components can be forced out of said rupturable bladder or bladders and mix with said first component in said flexible receptacle creating said desired composition; and,    (C) an elongated portion of said flexible receptacle capable of dispensing said desired composition out of said flexible receptacle.    
     
     
         3 ) A package according to  claim 1  wherein said first component of said desired composition is a different color than said additional component or components of said desired composition thereby producing a third color when said desired composition is properly mixed.  
     
     
         4 ) A package according to  claim 1  wherein said flexible receptacle is transparent or has a transparent window to view mixture of said desired composition.  
     
     
         5 ) A package according to  claim 1  wherein said flexible receptacle is constructed of material that is impervious to said desired composition, allows user to burst said rupturable bladder or bladders through the walls of said flexible receptacle, and user can control proper mixing of said desired composition by massaging said flexible receptacle.  
     
     
         6 ) A package according to  claim 1  wherein said flexible receptacle has a wide body capable of encompassing the entire volume of said desired composition and said body tapers into a narrow elongated portion of said flexible receptacle.  
     
     
         7 ) A compartmented package containing a first component separately circumscribed from an additional component or components of a desired composition, comprising: 
 (A) a flexible receptacle containing said first component of said desired composition;    (B) a sealed rupturable bladder or bladders filled with said additional component or components of said desired composition contained within the body of said flexible receptacle, wherein said additional component or components can be forced out of said rupturable bladder or bladders and mix with said first component in said flexible receptacle creating said desired composition; and,    (C) a color scheme wherein said first component of said desired composition is a different color than said additional component or components of said desired composition thereby producing a third color when said desired composition is properly mixed.    
     
     
         8 ) A package according to  claim 7  with an elongated portion of said flexible receptacle capable of dispensing said desired composition out of said flexible receptacle.  
     
     
         9 ) A package according to  claim 7  wherein said flexible receptacle is transparent or has a transparent window to view mixture of said desired composition.  
     
     
         10 ) A package according to  claim 7  wherein said flexible receptacle is constructed of material that is impervious to said desired composition, allows user to burst said rupturable bladder or bladders through the walls of said flexible receptacle, and user can control proper mixing of said desired composition by massaging said flexible receptacle.  
     
     
         11 ) A package according to  claim 7  wherein said flexible receptacle has a wide body capable of encompassing the entire volume of said desired composition and said body tapers into a narrow elongated portion of said flexible receptacle.  
     
     
         12 ) A compartmented package containing a first component separately circumscribed from an additional component or components of a desired composition, comprising: 
 (A) a flexible receptacle containing said first component of said desired composition;    (B) a sealed rupturable bladder or bladders filled with said additional component or components of said desired composition contained within the body of said flexible receptacle, wherein said additional component or components can be forced out of said rupturable bladder or bladders and mix with said first component in said flexible receptacle creating said desired composition; and,    (C) said flexible receptacle is transparent or has a transparent window to view mixture of said desired composition.    
     
     
         13 ) A package according to  claim 12  with an elongated portion of said flexible receptacle capable of dispensing said desired composition out of said flexible receptacle.  
     
     
         14 ) A package according to  claim 12  wherein said first component of said desired composition is a different color than said additional component or components of said desired composition thereby producing a third color when said desired composition is properly mixed.  
     
     
         15 ) A package according to  claim 12  wherein said flexible receptacle is constructed of material that is impervious to said desired composition, allows user to burst said rupturable bladder or bladders through the walls of said flexible receptacle, and user can control proper mixing of said desired composition by massaging said flexible receptacle.  
     
     
         16 ) A package according to  claim 12  wherein said flexible receptacle has a wide body capable of encompassing the entire volume of said desired composition and said body tapers into a narrow elongated portion of said flexible receptacle.  
     
     
         17 ) A compartmented package containing a first component separately circumscribed from an additional component or components of a desired composition, comprising: 
 (A) a flexible receptacle containing said first component of said desired composition;    (B) a sealed rupturable bladder or bladders filled with said additional component or components of said desired composition contained within the body of said flexible receptacle, wherein said additional component or components can be forced out of said rupturable bladder or bladders and mix with said first component in said flexible receptacle creating said desired composition;    (C) an elongated portion of said flexible receptacle capable of dispensing said desired composition out of said flexible receptacle;    (D) a color scheme wherein said first component of said desired composition is a different color than said additional component or components of said desired composition thereby producing a third color when said desired composition is properly mixed; and,    (E) said flexible receptacle is transparent or has a transparent window to view mixture of said desired composition.    
     
     
         18 ) A package according to  claim 17  wherein said flexible receptacle is constructed of material that is impervious to said desired composition, allows user to burst said rupturable bladder or bladders through the walls of said flexible receptacle, and user can control proper mixing of said desired composition by massaging said flexible receptacle.  
     
     
         19 ) A package according to  claim 17  wherein said flexible receptacle has a wide body capable of encompassing the entire volume of said desired composition and said body tapers into a narrow elongated portion of said flexible receptacle.
