Container including a capsule for dispensing contents into the container

Abstract

A container is disclosed comprising a body for storing a substance, the body including an opening and a capsule disposed within the opening for dispensing contents into the body.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A container comprising:
 a body for storing a substance, the body including a first opening; and   a first capsule disposed within the first opening for dispensing contents into the body.   
     
     
         2 . The container of  claim 1  wherein the first capsule includes a flexible membrane and a breakable membrane. 
     
     
         3 . The container of  claim 2  wherein the breakable membrane includes an indentation that is constructed to tear as a result of pressure within the first capsule, thereby releasing the contents within the first capsule into the body. 
     
     
         4 . The container of  claim 2  wherein the indentation is a continuous trench or a series of trenches along an axis of the indentation. 
     
     
         5 . The container of  claim 2  wherein the breakable membrane includes a plurality of indentations that are constructed to tear as a result of pressure within the first capsule, thereby releasing the contents within the capsule into the body. 
     
     
         6 . The container of  claim 1  wherein the container is substantially rigid. 
     
     
         7 . The container of  claim 1  wherein the container is flexible. 
     
     
         8 . The container of  claim 1  wherein the body includes a second opening. 
     
     
         9 . The container of  claim 8  further comprising a second capsule disposed in the second opening for dispensing contents into the body. 
     
     
         10 . The container of  claim 9  wherein the contents within the first capsule and the contents of the second capsule are the same. 
     
     
         11 . The container of  claim 9  wherein the contents within the first capsule and the contents of the second capsule are different. 
     
     
         12 . A container comprising:
 a body for storing a substance, the body including a capsule disposed within the opening for dispensing contents into the body.   
     
     
         13 . The container of  claim 12  wherein the capsule includes a flexible membrane and a breakable membrane. 
     
     
         14 . The container of  claim 13  wherein the breakable membrane includes an at least one indentation that is constructed to tear as a result of pressure within the capsule, thereby releasing the contents within the capsule into the body. 
     
     
         15 . The container of  claim 12  wherein the container is substantially rigid. 
     
     
         16 . The container of  claim 12  wherein the container is flexible. 
     
     
         17 . A system comprising:
 a container having a body for storing a substance, the body including one or more openings;   one or more capsules disposed within the one or more openings for dispensing contents into the body.   
     
     
         18 . The system of  claim 17  wherein the one or more capsules each includes a breakable membrane with an indentation constructed to tear as a result of pressure within the one or more capsules, the indentation defining a circular, egg, ring, oval or triangle shaped section on the breakable membrane. 
     
     
         19 . The system of  claim 17  wherein the one or more capsules each includes a breakable membrane with a plurality of indentations constructed to tear along the indentation as a result of pressure within the one or more capsules, the indentations defining a plurality of sections on the breakable membrane. 
     
     
         20 . The system of  claim 19  wherein the plurality of indentations convene at a point on the breakable membrane. 
     
     
         21 . The system of  claim 20  wherein the point is at the center of the breakable membrane.
