Detailed Descriptiozt of the Preferred Embodiment
Referring to Fig. 1 to -Fig. 3, the first preferred embodiment of the present
invention
comprise:
a cap body 10 , which contains a top side I I, a bottom side 12 and a lateral
side 13, wherein
said top side I 1 is contrived into closed plate, said bottom side l2 is
contrived into vent opening,
then said lateral side 13 links top side 11 and bottom side 12 such as being
surrounded as an
unitary body; hence, a hollow eompartmen.t 14 is formed of in said internal
top side I I of said
cap body 10 to contain any granule, powder or liquid material, aad a hollow
cap linking channel
IS is formed near the other end of said bottom side 12 such that its aperture
is slightly greater
than the outer diameter of the vent opening 31 of the container outlet 30;
thus, said hollow eoznpartment I4 and said cap linking channel IS are linked
to enable pass
through each other, an additional locking flange 1.6 is also Form at their
joint; acrd
a separating blocker 20 is inserted in betweon said hollow compartment 14 and
said cap
linking channel 15 of said cap body 10 inside; wherein, said top side 21 faces
said hollow
compartment 14, and its bottom side 22 faces said cap linking channel 15, and
a locking groove
ring 24 is created on its ring lateral 23 to be engaged with said locking
flange 16 of said cap body
10 in order to temporarily prevent pre-stuffed material inside from leaking
out of said hollow
compartment 14.
Referring to Fig. 2 to Fig. 4, a different flavor beverage R is first stuffed
in said hollow
compartment 14 of said cap body 10 ; then, said separating blocker 20 is
inserted into said cap
linking channel 15 through said bottom side 12 ;
4

CA 02568919 2006-12-08
Until said locking groove ring 24 on said ring lateral 23 of said separating
blocker 20 is
engaged with said locking flange 1.G of said cap body in position, it can
prevent pre-stuffed
beverage R inside from leaking out of said hollow compartment 14;
Continuously, said cap linking channel 15 at said bottom side 12 of said cap
body i0 is
sleeved and engaged with said vent opening 31 of said container 30 such that
said vent opening
31 being coataet with said bottom side 22 of said separating Mocker 20; thus,
said container 30
and said cap body 10 can separalcly keep different constituent or flavor
beverage G and beverage
R respectively without mixing each other temporarily by means of separating
blocker 20 itt
between (as s.h.own in Fig. 3);
If drinking user wants to rnix said beverage G and said beverage R for
drinking, he can press
to the way of said container 30 by force on said top side I I of said cap body
10 so that said
locking groove ring 24 on said ring lateral 23 of said separating blocker 20
disengages from said
locking flange 16 of said cap body 10 by means of upwards pushing force of
said vent opening
31 at said container 30.
Moreover, said separating Mocker 20 keeps on moving into saidhollow
compartment 14 and
lets said beverage R inside flow downwards into said container 30 to mix with
said beverage G
wherein (as shown in Fig. 4).
Refezring to Fig. 5 to Fig. 7, illustrated is the second preferred embodiment
of the present
invention, wherein said cap Iinkirlg channel 1S on said bottom side 12 of said
cap body 10 is
z0 created to have a female thread 1S1 in its internal side; said vent opening
31 of said container
30a is formed to have a male thread 32 at its outer surface; and said female
thread 151 is to screw
engagennent with said male thread 32 (as shown in Fig, S);
By horning force on said lateral side 13 of said cap body 10, it saves much
force to bring said
separating blocker 20 downwards together so that said locking groove ring 24
of said separating
Mocker 20 disengages from said locking flange IG of said cap body 10a by means
of upwards
pushing force of said vent opening 3I at said container 30a; Moreover, it also
achieves the effect
of mining said beverage R with said beverage G (as shown in Fig. 7).
Referring to Fig. 8 to Fig. 10, illustrated is the third preferred embodiment
of the present
invention, wherein the outer diameter of said separating blocker 20a is
slightly smaller than, the
3o internal diameter of said hollow compartment 14b inside of said cap body I
Ob;
5

CA 02568919 2006-12-08
Moreover, some fracturable bridge rings 25 are inserted into the ring gap in
between said ring
Lateral 23a and said hollow compartment 14b inside of said cap body lOb (as
shown in Fig. 9).
'then, the granules of the solid food are stuffed into said hollow
compartzz~,ent I4 (as shown in
Fig. 8);
l..f drinking user wants to mix said solid food S and said beverage G for
drinking, he can turn
said cap body lOb to break said fracturable bridge rings 25 by means of
revolving force, Thus, it
not only let the granules of said solid food S i.n said hollow compartment 14
fall info said
container 30, but also achieves the effect o~ mixing said solid food S with
said beverage G (as
shown in Fig. 10).
to l2efernng to Fig. 11, illustrated is another design type in the appearance
of said cap body 1 Oc
of the present invention, wherein said lateral side I3c of said cap body l.Oc
is in polygon shape to
enhance the convenience of finger-grip and force-exerting.
Referring to Fig. 12 to Fig. 13, illustrated is the fourth preferred
errzbodiment of the present
invention, wherein the lower end of said bottom side 12 of said cap body 10 is
attached a safety
l5 collet 40 with fracturable rib 41, Thus, it prevents said separating
blocker 20a from unduly
displacement, which might resulting in leakage out of said beverage R in said
hollow
compartment 14, due to unexpected force acting on said cap body 10.
Refezring to Fig. 14 to Fig. 16, the drinking user must pull said safety
collet 40, lvhich being
attached the lower end of said cap body I0, to break and remove said
fraeturabIe rib 4I along
2o with said safety eollet 40 (as shown in Fig. 14);
Continuously, he can exert the fuming force on said cap body 10 to let said
separating
blocker 20 move towards said hollow compartment 14 (as shown in Fig. 1 S),
Thus, said beverage
R is allowed to flow downwards into said container 30 to achieve the effect of
mixing with said
beverage G (as shown in Fig. 16).
