CONTAINERS AND METHODS FOR ISOLATING LIQUIDS PRIOR TO DISPENSING

A container (200) for isolating a first liquid and a second liquid prior to dispensing, the container comprising: a first enclosed body (211) for containing the first liquid and having a first body access opening (258a); a second enclosed body (213) for containing the second liquid and having a second body access opening (258b), the second body access opening being adjacent to the first body access opening; a common cap (220) secured to at least one of the first and second bodies, the common cap having a first dispensing opening (238a) and a second dispensing opening (238b); and an insert (230) positioned between the access openings of the first and second bodies and the common cap, the insert defining a first dispensing path having an upstream entrance in fluid communication with the first body access opening and a downstream exit in fluid communication with the first dispensing opening and a second dispensing path having an upstream entrance in fluid communication with the second body access opening and a downstream exit in fluid communication with the second dispensing opening, each of the dispensing paths having a valve (237a, 237b) movable between a closed configuration restricting flow through the valve and an open configuration permitting flow through the valve in response to pressure within each of the respective enclosed bodies.
