摘要:
A novel apparatus (10) for delivering a nutritive substance comprises a container body (14) having a base at one end thereof, an upper portion (12) adapted for removable receipt of a closure (16), the upper portion defining an opening (22) therein, and a chamber defined by the container body (14), the chamber being in fluid communication with the upper portion opening (22). A laminate seal (42) having at least two layers is bonded across the upper portion opening (22) and is adapted to provide an airtight seal across the opening (20). A nutritive substance is bonded to at least one layer of the laminate seal (42). The container (14) additionally comprises a closure (16) removably coupled to the upper portion (12). The closure (116) comprises a cutting portion (154) which is adapted to pierce the laminate seal (146), thereby releasing the nutritive substance into the container contents.

The invention comprises an apparatus for delivering a nutritive substance comprising a container body (14) having a base at one end thereof, an upper portion (18) adapted for removable receipt of a closure (16), the upper portion defining an opening (22) therein,, and a chamber (130) defined by the container body, the chamber being in fluid communication with the upper portion opening. A laminate seal (42) having at least two layers is bonded across the upper portion opening and is adapted to provide an airtight seal across the opening and prevent contact between said nutritive substance and the contents of said container until said seal is altered. The laminate seal comprises a first layer (48) permanently bonded to a rim defining the opening in the container upper portion and a second layer (52) that is releasably coupled to the first layer. A nutritive substance is bonded to the first layer of the laminate seal. The container additionally comprises a closure removably coupled to the upper portion.
