Pouch carton and container fitments for use with any ingredients

Abstract

A container having a storage and dosing cap having a body storage chamber that can be used to mix several substances at the time of use. The container is typically a can, pouch, bottle, IV bags, cartons, drums or any type of container that can hold ingredients that are liquid, powder and or gel. A powder, liquid, and or gel stored in the cap body can be activated by pushing or twisting an actuator top area or outer cap area of the storage and dosing cap to be mixed into the container. The actuator which can have none or more than one angle on the bottom area of the actuator can break open the bottom of the storage cap area whether being a line of weakening or a seal with absorbent material or both to release product into a container when manually depressed or twisted.

1 . An apparatus for containing, mixing, and dispensing a substance comprising:
 a liquid or powder holding target container having one or more flexible walls;   a storage and release fitment cap of an elliptical shape removably attached to said target container, said cap capable of containing at least one substance to be dispensed into the container;   said cap having a cap bottom portion and an actuating portion movably positioned inside the cap bottom portion;   said actuation portion having a top portion capable of an air tight seal;   said cap bottom portion having a sealed bottom closure with at least one line of weakening;   wherein the cap is manually activated when the seal of said sealed bottom closure is broken and the substance in the cap is released into said target container;   wherein the cap is manually activated by downward manual force being applied to the actuating mechanism; and   where the cap being manually activated results in the actuating mechanism causing said actuating portion to extend vertically downward, engaging and displacing the sealed bottom closure of said cap bottom into a position that causes a substance or substances stored within said chamber to be released into the container below.   
   
   
       2 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , further comprising a rigid cover portion removably positioned on top of and sized to completely cover the actuating portion. 
   
   
       3 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein downward manual force is exerted by manually depressing the actuating portion vertically. 
   
   
       4 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein downward manual force is exerted by twisting the actuating portion in an engaging direction with the cap bottom portion. 
   
   
       5 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the target container comprises a pouch, said pouch made of a flexible material that is impervious to liquid or gas. 
   
   
       6 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the target container comprises a carton. 
   
   
       7 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein said cap bottom portion additionally includes a threaded area on the exterior wall of said cap bottom portion to allow the cap to be screwed onto the target container. 
   
   
       8 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein said cap bottom portion additionally includes one or more ridges on the exterior wall of said cap bottom portion to allow the cap to be locked onto the target container. 
   
   
       9 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , additionally comprising a plunger mechanism having an elongated portion that is between the bottom portion and the top portion, creating a sealed interior chamber, wherein said elongated portion is sized to slidably fit within the hollow body of said bottom portion and said top portion is sized to fit around the rim of the top receiving end, wherein
 said plunger mechanism located within said bottom portion;   the cap is manually activated when downward manual force is applied to the plunger mechanism; and   where downward manual force on the plunger mechanism engages and displaces the seated bottom closure of the plunger mechanism and causes said elongated portion to extend vertically downward, engaging and displacing the sealed bottom closure of said release cap into a position that causes a substance or substances stored within said chamber to be released into the container below.   
   
   
       10 . An apparatus for containing, mixing, and dispensing a substance comprising:
 a liquid or powder holding target container having one or more flexible walls;   a storage and release fitment cap of an elliptical shape removably attached to said target container, said cap capable of containing at least one substance to be dispensed into the container;   said cap having a cap bottom portion and an actuating portion movably positioned inside the cap bottom portion;   said actuation portion having a top portion capable of an air tight seal;   said cap bottom portion having a sealed bottom closure with at least one line of weakening;   wherein the cap is manually activated when the seat of said sealed bottom closure is broken and the substance in the cap is released into said target container;   wherein the cap is manually activated by upward manual force being applied to the actuating mechanism; and   where the cap being manually activated results in the actuating mechanism causing said actuating portion to extend vertically downward, engaging and displacing the sealed bottom closure of said cap bottom into a position that causes a substance or substances stored within said chamber to be released into the container below.   
   
   
       11 . The apparatus of  claim 10 , further comprising a rigid cover portion removably positioned on top of and sized to completely cover the actuating portion. 
   
   
       12 . The apparatus of  claim 10 , wherein up manual force is exerted by manually pulling the actuating portion upwards vertically. 
   
   
       13 . The apparatus of  claim 10 , wherein downward manual force is exerted by twisting the actuating portion in an engaging direction with the cap bottom portion. 
   
   
       14 . The apparatus of  claim 10 , wherein the target container comprises a pouch, said pouch made of a flexible material that is impervious to liquid or gas. 
   
   
       15 . The apparatus of  claim 10 , wherein the target container comprises a carton. 
   
   
       16 . The apparatus of  claim 10 , wherein said cap bottom portion additionally includes a threaded area on the exterior wall of said cap bottom portion to allow the cap to be screwed onto the target container. 
   
   
       17 . The apparatus of  claim 10 , wherein said cap bottom portion additionally includes one or more ridges on the exterior wall of said cap bottom portion to allow the cap to be locked onto the target container. 
   
   
       18 . The apparatus of  claim 10 , additionally comprising a plunger mechanism having an elongated portion that is between the bottom portion and the top portion, creating a sealed interior chamber, wherein said elongated portion is sized to slidably fit within the hollow body of said bottom portion and said top portion is sized to fit around the rim of the top receiving end, wherein
 said plunger mechanism located within said bottom portion;   the cap is manually activated when upward manual force is applied to the plunger mechanism; and   where upward manual force on the plunger mechanism engages and displaces the sealed bottom closure of the plunger mechanism and causes said elongated portion to extend vertically downward, engaging and displacing the sealed bottom closure of said release cap into a position that causes a substance or substances stored within said chamber to be released into the container below.   
   
   
       19 . An apparatus for containing, mixing, and dispensing a substance comprising:
 a liquid or powder holding target container having one or more flexible walls and a receiving portion on its base with a line of weakening;   a storage and release cap removably attached to the bottom of said target container, said cap capable of containing at least one substance to be dispensed into the container;   said cap having an actuating portion movably positioned inside the base of cap;   said actuation portion having a sealed bottom closure portion capable of an air tight seal;   said actuating portion having a top portion with at least one line of weakening;   wherein the cap is manually activated when the actuating portion is engaged with the receiving portion, causing the seal of said actuating portion and the receiving portion to break and the substance in the cap is released into said target container; and   wherein the cap is manually activated by upward manual force being applied to the cap.
