BRIEF SUMMARY
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The invention concerns a container, for example a preserve, bottle or can, for receiving and conserving, respectively, of different solids and/or liquids, in particular foodstuffs, for example chocolate bars, peanuts or the like and/or beverages, and for delivering such by a correspondingly provided opening for their consumption.
So, for example, DE-U-93 13 882 shows a bottle of beverage which is provided with a closed pocket extending to the interior and the bottom side at its circumference wall for receiving a little sample bottle or the like container for conserving beverages or solids, for example berries, spices etc.
Furthermore, it is known from GB-A-126,597 and U.S. Pat. No. 1,612,107, respectively, each a container in form of a bottle for conserving different solids and/or liquids, for example an unfoldable container and a cherry, respectively, and/or beverages and sirup, respectively, and for removing these by an accordingly provided opening. Each container is provided with a main chamber and at least one additional chamber or the like. Thereby, the main chamber and the at least one additional chamber are separated from each other by a wall or the like partition wall for avoiding a mutual contact of the different solids and/or liquids conserved in the container.
Finally, U.S. Pat. No. 5,065,875 shows a container in form of a bottle for conserving liquids, in particular foodstuffs, and for removing these by an accordingly provided opening. A recess is provided in this container in which a further container of smaller dimensions in form of a bottle or ampull is provided for receiving a liquid. While and before consumption, respectively, the content of the smaller container can be mixed with the content of the greater container upon removal from the cavity. Both containers, however, are not connected to each other in a way that they might not get lost.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
Starting from this state of the art, the invention now has the object to provide a container, as a preserve, bottle or can, in which two different products simultaneously can be contained for their consumption, which, however, are not in contact with each other and therefore do not mix so that their consumption is possible which is combined or separated on the one hand and which is very easy on the other hand.
The subject-matter of the invention is to provide a container, as a preserve, bottle or can, which in contrast to existing types of containers is consisting of two or more chambers being separated from each other and separated containers, respectively, forming together a unit. The foodstuffs and beverages do not contact with each other in the container of the invention and therefore cannot mix with each other. At the same time, however, the foodstuffs and beverages can be consumpted via said openings at the chambers in a separate manner or together in a simultaneous manner with respect to the connecting elements provided according to the invention, as flexible strips or the like, interposed between the main chamber and the at least one additional chamber.
The additional chambers can be conserved within the container in form of a preserve, bottle or can such that the corresponding opening is at the lower side and at the bottom, respectively, of the main chamber and the container (preserve, bottle or can), respectively, or at the top side, if possible beside the opening of the main chamber and the container (preserve, bottle or can), respectively. However, it is also possible to dispose the at least one additional chamber in the portion of the side wall and the envelope, respectively, of the main chamber and the containers (preserve, bottle or can), respectively.
The number, dimensions, form and arrangement of the at least one additional chamber can be different according to requirements and demands and can be also optionally chosen as a function of the respective size and the respective dimensions of the container itself.
The openings of the main chamber and/or the least one additional chamb
