Pouch dispenser

Abstract

A portable storage container that consists of multiple compartments that are used to separate different components of a stored item. In separating out the components, the shelf life of the stored item is dramatically increased. The storage device is made from a plurality of polymeric film sheets that are connected through a perimeter seal that leaves a vacant space within the perimeter seal between the polymeric film sheets for creating multiple compartments. The compartments are separated through frangible sealing structures that are made up of a plurality of individual seals of varying types. When the device is operated, the frangible sealing structure is ruptured, therefore allowing the separated components to mix. Using a sealing structure made up of multiple seals ensures that the compartments remain separated when the storage container is subjected to harsh environmental conditions.

1 . A pouch for portable storage of two or more separate substances comprising:
 first and second flexible polymer sheets;   said first and second flexible polymer sheets being sealed permanently around a perimeter defining a portable storage pouch;   a first frangible seal for connecting said first polymer sheet and said second polymer sheet across a prescribed portion forming a first compartment and a second compartment within said pouch;   a second frangible seal disposed in proximity to said first frangible seal for forming a first compartment and a second compartment in said pouch in conjunction with said first frangible seal;   said first flexible polymer having at least one aperture used for expelling the combined contents of the first compartment and the second compartment; and   a removable first sheet aperture cover for sealing said aperture cover when not in use.   
   
   
       2 . A pouch as in  claim 1  including:
 a third frangible seal mounted in proximity to said first frangible seal and said second frangible seal for dividing said pouch into two separate compartments in conjunction with said first frangible seal and said second frangible seal, said first, second and third frangible seals being separable manually for mixing the contents in said first compartment with the contents of said second compartment within said pouch.   
   
   
       3 . A handle connected to said first flexible polymer sheet outside in the area of said first frangible seal and said second frangible seal to aid in manually separating said first and second frangible seals. 
   
   
       4 . A pouch as in  claim 3  including a second handle disposed on the outside of said second flexible polymer sheet in the area of said first frangible seal and said second frangible seal to be used in conjunction with said first handle for manually separating said first frangible seal and said second frangible seal. 
   
   
       5 . A pouch as in  claim 2  wherein:
 said first frangible seal is a heat seal, sealing said first flexible sheet inside said pouch to said second flexible sheet inside said pouch.   
   
   
       6 . A pouch as in  claim 1 , wherein
 said second frangible seal is made of a light adhesive.   
   
   
       7 . A pouch as in  claim 2 , wherein:
 said third frangible seal is a friction seal using a male protrusion and a female slot that is removably attached together to form a first compartment and second compartment.   
   
   
       8 . A pouch as in  claim 1 , wherein:
 said first flexible sheet aperture cover includes a neck connected to said first flexible sheet including external fastening threads and a sealable cap that includes fastener threads for engaging said threaded neck.   
   
   
       9 . A pouch as in  claim 1 , wherein:
 said first and second flexible sheets including at least one rectangular corner wherein said sheets are formed and sealed together to provide a perpendicular corner, a linear permanent heat seal disposed parallel to one side of said pouch forming the perpendicular corner spaced apart to provide a separate channel for dispensing the contents of the container near the corner, said channel separating the channel portion from the remaining first and second compartments, said corner having a foldable portion and an opening that can be covered by said foldable portion for dispensing the contents of said pouch through said portable channel and said foldable cover and opening.
