DESCRIPTION:

BRIEF SUMMARY
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

1. Field of the Invention
The invention relates to a storage container for fresh preparation of mixtures before their use, furthermore a process to make gas and/or liquid and/or solid substance storaged separately in the neck of the stored container.
2. Description of the Related Art
It is well known that there are such solutions in that the physical and chemical character of the storaged liquid can be changed and formed in an advantageous state for use.
A locking cap and container combination has been disclosed in the PCT patent application WO 94/07757, a little device built in the cap gives a pleasant smell in the inside of the bottle storing chemicals, detergents of unpleasant smell.
In the PCT patent application WO 90/04547 a container is disclosed for storage and treating of liquids; in the neck of the container there is a column filled with a cleaning medium which is able to treat the liquid. Pouring out the liquid, it flows through that clearing medium, immediately before use.
In the latter invention the object was how to remove, before use, undesirable components from liquids stored in containers.
On the other hand a demand has frequently been arised, dissolved active ingredients must not be decomposed during storage. It can be monitored for example water solutions, soft drinks containing ascorbic acid and different flavoring and fragrances. The chemical decomposition of above mentioned and many other substances in water solution (e.g. active oxydizing agents in household chemicals) is well known. For that reason it is an obvious task the storing of substances, which are install in water solution, possible gas and/or liquid and/or solid or their mixture, in a storage container, but isolated from the content of that.
On the other hand it is necessary, that before use the isolated gas and/or liquid and/or solid components must be mixed with the content of the container, namely only in the time when the user wants. So both the early dissolving of the isolate stored, components and the remaining not dissolved substances are avoided.


SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

In such a case it is a possible solution: the container must be provided with such a locking cap, that at the opening takes initiative for happening of the contact, mixing, in a wanted case reaction between the isolated stored components and the content of the container.
The invention is aimed to provide a storage container with a receptacle in the neck portion of which carrying element for separated storing of gas and/or liquid and/or solid substances is arranged wherein these substances can be brought in contact with a medium stored in the receptacle by unscrewing the locking cap while the connection of the carrying element and the locking cap enables, in contrast to the known solutions, an opening of the locking cap with a less powerful turning and a free dropping of the carrying element into the receptacle.
Thus, the present invention relates to a storage container comprising a receptacle with a threaded neck and a threaded locking cap screwed on the neck for closing the receptacle, further comprising a substance carrying element arranged in the neck portion for storing separately gas and/or liquid and/or solid substance(s) to be introduced into a medium stored in the receptacle, the substance carrying element being connected sealingly but releasably to the locking cap and being adapted to be brought by turning the locking cap in a condition disengaged from the neck and the locking cap for falling into the receptacle, wherein according to the invention the locking cap includes a positioning element for turning the substance carrying element between a locking a dropping position, the outer face of the substance carrying element being provided with an oval flange sitting in locking position on inside lips in the neck of the receptacle and fitting in dropping position in the opening between the inside lips.
In a further aspect of the invention, the outer face of the substance carrying element is provided with at leas
