Interface connection device for separate packaging and storage
A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11873155B2) discloses an interface connection device designed to connect two container bodies while maintaining separate compartments within each container. The device features a double opener connector with first and second end female parts, each capable of receiving a corresponding male part from the container bodies. The connector includes openers to selectively displace membranes sealing the compartments, allowing communication between them. The device also includes retaining elements to control the insertion positions of the male parts, ensuring a secure connection. The interface connection device is designed to prevent leaks and can be adjusted to different heights for versatility in container assembly.
Furthermore, the patent describes a kit for assembling containers with separate compartments, including the first and second container bodies, each with a membrane-sealed compartment and a coupler. The interface connection device in the kit allows for the connection of the container bodies, enabling mixing of contents stored in the separate compartments. The method outlined in the patent involves assembling the containers by coupling them to the interface device and maintaining the compartments closed until ready for use. By controlling the insertion positions and utilizing openers within the connector, the method ensures a secure and leak-proof connection between the containers, facilitating the mixing of contents when desired. The kit and method provide a practical solution for storing and mixing different contents in separate compartments within a container.
