20140202895 | MULTI-CHAMBER CONTAINER FOR STORING AND MIXING LIQUIDS - The present disclosure is drawn to a multi-chamber container and related methods for storing and mixing liquids and associated methods of use. The multi-chamber container includes a first chamber configured to contain a first liquid composition. The multi-chamber container also includes a second chamber configured to contain a second liquid composition. The multi-chamber container further includes a membrane separating the first liquid composition and the second liquid composition. The membrane is puncturable to facilitate contact of the first liquid composition and the second liquid composition. Additionally, the multi-chamber container includes a plunger operable to puncture the membrane. The plunger can be configured to move through an opening of the first chamber opposite the membrane to facilitate puncture of the membrane. | 07-24-2014 |
20140284355 | TWO-PART DISINFECTANT SYSTEM AND RELATED METHODS - The present disclosure is drawn to a disinfectant system which can be used to disinfect surfaces. The system includes a first chamber containing a first solution and a second chamber containing a second solution. The first solution can include an alcohol, an organic carboxylic acid, and from 0.01 ppm, to 1,000 ppm by weight of a transition metal or alloy thereof based on the first solution weight content. The second solution can include hydrogen peroxide. The system further includes a dispenser through which the system is configured to mix and dispense the first solution and the second solution immediately before being dispensed. A peracid composition is formed upon mixing of the first and second solutions. | 09-25-2014 |
20150016208 | MULTI-CHAMBER CONTAINER FOR STORING AND MIXING LIQUIDS - The present disclosure is drawn to a multi-chamber container and related methods for storing and mixing liquids and associated methods of use. The multi-chamber container includes a first chamber configured to contain a first liquid composition. The multi-chamber container also includes a second chamber configured to contain a second liquid composition. The multi-chamber container further includes a barrier operable to separate the first chamber and the second chamber. Additionally, the multi-chamber container includes a compliant mechanism movable between a first position and a second position and a plunger movable with the compliant mechanism to alter or remove the barrier. In the first position, the barrier is operable to maintain the first liquid composition and the second liquid composition separate from one another. In the second position, the plunger is operable to alter or remove the barrier to facilitate contact of the first liquid composition and the second liquid composition. | 01-15-2015 |
