Multiple reservoir device

Abstract

A multiple reservoir device comprises a storage space for concurrently reserving multiple substances is provided. The device preferably includes an accommodation module ( 2 ) and at least two extensible reservoir apparatuses ( 322 ) installed in the module. As one reservoir apparatus discharges part or all of the substance therein, the reservoir apparatus ( 322 ) contracts and releases space which, previously occupied by the removed substance, is now used for allowing another reservoir apparatus ( 322 ) to reserve substance and/or for allowing the accommodation module ( 2 ) to store foreign objects.
