Dual receptacle symmetrical package for liquids

Abstract

A dual receptacle package for liquid material comprises a container. A central ridge formed into the container separates the container into two chambers. The two chambers may contain different material with minimal or no cross-contamination between the chambers. The content of the chambers is dispensed via a single or dual tunnel. The single or dual tunnel is opened into a single or dual orifice opening when a closure for the package is removed.

1 . A dual chamber package, comprising:
 a container having an outer perimeter;   the container having formed into it a cleft, the cleft dividing the container into two chambers;   each chamber having an exit port;   the exit ports leading into a merge area;   a dispensing tunnel extending from the merge area; and   a cover joined to the outer perimeter.   
   
   
       2 . The package of  claim 1 , wherein,
 the chambers are symmetrical about the cleft   
   
   
       3 . The package of  claim 1 , wherein,
 each chamber narrows toward its exit port.   
   
   
       4 . The package of  claim 1 , wherein,
 a length of the dispensing tunnel is several times longer than a width of the tunnel.   
   
   
       5 . The package of  claim 1 , wherein,
 the cover tapers towards an extended end.   
   
   
       6 . The package of  claim 1 , wherein,
 the seal is joined to a flat topped surface of the cleft.   
   
   
       7 . The package of  claim 1 , further comprising,
 a closure and a score line located adjacent to one end of the tunnel.   
   
   
       8 . The package of  claim 1 , further comprising,
 a closure, the closure being located adjacent to a notch formed into the outer perimeter.   
   
   
       9 . The package of  claim 1 , wherein,
 a content of the chambers is visible through the container.   
   
   
       10 . A dual chamber package, comprising:
 a container having an outer perimeter;   the container having formed into it a cleft, the cleft dividing the container into two distinct chambers;   each chamber being dischargeable through a tunnel; and   a cover joined to the outer perimeter.   
   
   
       11 . The package of  claim 10 , wherein,
 the chambers are symmetrical about the cleft.   
   
   
       12 . The package of  claim 10 , wherein,
 each chamber tapers toward the tunnel.   
   
   
       13 . The package of  claim 10 , wherein,
 the container and the cover are constructed from materials of different stiffness.   
   
   
       14 . The package of  claim 10 , wherein,
 The closure is a snap-off closure.   
   
   
       15 . The package of  claim 10 , wherein,
 a length of each tunnel is several times of a width of the tunnel.   
   
   
       16 . The package of  claim 10 , wherein,
 the cover is joined to a flat surface of the cleft.   
   
   
       17 . The package of  claim 10 , wherein,
 the cleft tapers and becomes narrower toward the cover.   
   
   
       18 . The package of  claim 10 , wherein,
 the two tunnels are separated from each other only by a top surface of the cleft.   
   
   
       19 . The package of  claim 10 , wherein,
 the cleft extends through a full length of the container.
