Abstract

A single or multi-compartment container includes an inner container for a liquid or powder product surrounded in part by an outer container. The inner and outer containers are joined at a neck assembly which has an opening communicating with the inner container. The outer container is partially filled with a fluid, semi-fluid or gel material giving the container a soft, resilient “jelly-like” feel.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A squeezable multi-compartment container comprising inner and outer chambers sealed together at a neck assembly by a pressure/compression seal or heat fusing which includes an opening communicating with the inner chamber, said outer chamber being at least partially filled with a fluid, and said inner and outer chambers being elastically deformable.  
   
   
       2 . The squeezable container of  claim 1 , and further including a closure for closing the opening to the inner chamber.  
   
   
       3 . The squeezable container of  claim 2 , wherein the closure comprises a screw top.  
   
   
       4 . The squeezable container of  claim 2 , wherein the closure comprises a press-fitted cap.  
   
   
       5 . The squeezable container of  claim 2 , wherein the closure comprises a flip cap.  
   
   
       6 . The squeezable container of  claim 2 , wherein the closure includes a brush.  
   
   
       7 . The squeezable container of  claim 2 , wherein the closure includes a dropper.  
   
   
       8 . The squeezable container of  claim 2 , wherein the closure includes an applicator wand.  
   
   
       9 . The squeezable container of  claim 2 , and further including a blade applicator under the closure.  
   
   
       10 . The squeezable container of  claim 1 , wherein the outer chamber is filled with a fluid, semi-fluid or a gel material.  
   
   
       11 . The squeezable container of  claim 1 , wherein the outer chamber is filled with a mineral oil or jelly-like fluid.  
   
   
       12 . The squeezable container of  claim 11 , wherein the mineral oil includes suspended particles.  
   
   
       13 . The squeezable container of  claim 1 , wherein the inner container is filled with a cosmetic.  
   
   
       14 . The squeezable container of  claim 1 , wherein the inner and outer chambers are formed from a single bag or from two sheets of flexible material in which the inner and outer chambers are separated by a barrier line.  
   
   
       15 . The squeezable container of  claim 14 , wherein the barrier line comprises a heat fused line.  
   
   
       16 . The squeezable container of  claim 14 , wherein the inner and outer containers comprise separate bags.  
   
   
       17 . The squeezable container of  claim 14 , wherein the inner and outer chambers are formed of a plastics material.  
   
   
       18 . The squeezable container of  claim 14 , wherein the inner and outer chambers are formed of a transparent or translucent plastics material.  
   
   
       19 . The squeezable container of  claim 14 , wherein the inner and outer chambers are formed of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) sheet.  
   
   
       20 . A method of forming a squeezable multi-compartment container as claimed in  claim 1 , which comprises providing inner and outer chambers sealed together at their necks, and fitting the inner and outer chambers at least in part.  
   
   
       21 . The method of  claim 20 , wherein the inner and outer containers are formed from separate containers.  
   
   
       22 . The method of  claim 20 , wherein the inner container is formed by pushing a portion of the outer container back into itself.  
   
   
       23 . The method of  claim 20 , wherein the inner chamber is formed by heat sealing a barrier line which separates the inner chamber from the outer chamber.  
   
   
       24 . The method of  claim 20 , including the step of filling the inner chamber, at least in part, with a deliverable product.  
   
   
       25 . The method of  claim 20 , including the step of partially filling the outer chamber with a mineral oil or jelly-like fluid.
