Container system and method

Abstract

A container system having at least two containers, wherein the container system comprises a light member which is configured to provide information through the emission of emission of chemiluminescent light, wherein the container system is configured to provide or trigger the light member to provide the information through the emission of light when a step related to preparation of a mixture of the contents of the containers is performed. In particular, triggering occurs when the containers are separated from one another and/or when a fluidic connection is created between the containers.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A container system, comprising:
 at least two containers, and   a light member which is configured to provide information by the emission of light by chemiluminescence,   wherein the light member is triggerable to provide the information through the emission of chemiluminescent light produced in response to the commencement of actions for preparing a mixture from contents of the containers.   
     
     
         2 . The container system according to  claim 1 , wherein the containers each comprise a connecting arrangement, and wherein the connecting arrangements are configured for enabling said preparation of a fluidic connection between the containers. 
     
     
         3 . The container system according to  claim 2 , wherein the container system is configured to activate the light member to emit light or to change properties of light emitted by the light member when said actions are commenced by preparation of the fluidic connection between the containers by the connecting arrangements. 
     
     
         4 . The container system according to  claim 2 , wherein the connecting arrangements are configured to prepare the fluidic connection by actions comprising at least one of insertion of one connecting arrangements into the other or twisting the connecting arrangements relative to one another, the emission of chemiluminescent light being initiated by said actions. 
     
     
         5 . The container system according to  claim 2 , wherein at least one of the connecting arrangements of the containers is closed off by means of a cap-shaped cover device, and wherein removing of the cover device initiates the emission of chemiluminescent light. 
     
     
         6 . The container system according to  claim 2 , wherein the connecting arrangements are arranged at a bottom or opposite of a withdrawal opening of the respective container of the container system. 
     
     
         7 . The container system according to  claim 2 , wherein the containers are bottles with bottle necks, and the connecting arrangements are arranged on an opposite end of the bottle from the bottle necks. 
     
     
         8 . The container system according to  claim 1 , wherein the light member is part of an exterior adornment of at least one of the containers. 
     
     
         9 . The container system according to  claim 8 , wherein the light member is a label on the container. 
     
     
         10 . The container system according to  claim 2 , wherein the light member is configured and attached to at least one of the containers in a manner such that the light member is automatically pressed by a user when the connecting arrangements are moved or plugged into one another for preparing the fluidic connection by the user, the emission of chemiluminescent light being initiated by said pressing. 
     
     
         11 . The container system according to  claim 2 , wherein the container system has at least one trigger element acting on or deforming the light member when the fluidic connection is prepared, thus activating the emission of chemiluminescent light. 
     
     
         12 . The container system according to  claim 11 , wherein the trigger element is a pin or a seal or a tab. 
     
     
         13 . The container system according to  claim 11 , wherein the trigger element is drivable or activatable by means of or caused by one or more of a rotational movement of the connecting arrangements relative to one another, or by deformation of mouth-shaped portions of the connecting arrangements, or by plugging the connecting arrangements into one another, or by removing a cap-shaped cover device closing off at least one of the connecting arrangements. 
     
     
         14 . The container system according to  claim 1 , wherein the light member is activated by combining of two or more chemicals.
