A container for separately accommodating a pair of liquids, such as mineral water and whisky, including a main body for accommodating a first liquid, a small cup for accommodating a second liquid, provided with a flange extending from the entire periphery of an upper end of the small cup and a skirt extending downward from the entire periphery of an upper end of the flange, and a flexible lid for liquid-tightly sealing an upper free opening of the small cup. The small cup is fit into an upper free opening of the main body engaging the flange and the skirt with the entire periphery of an upper end of the main body. The small cup has a specified area, in a bottom wall, at least partially bordered by a score line. The lid has a downward projection. The specified area is broken by pushing down the lid until a tip of the projection presses to break the specified area, whereby the second liquid flows down into the main body and mixes with the first liquid in the main body.

Container for accommodating two kinds of liquids

A vessel with a tabular, flexible handle. The body of the vessel is integrally provided with upper and lower mounts which serve to attach the handle to the vessel. A means for preventing the upper end of the handle from downwardly slipping out of the upper mount and a means for preventing the lower end of the handle from upwardly slipping out of the lower mount are formed integrally with the handle. The lower end of the tubular handle downwardly passes through the upper mount and then through the lower mount. Since the total length of the handle is greater than the distance between the upper edge of the upper mount and the lower edge of the lower mount, the handle can be picked out so as to become bow-shaped, in which position the means for preventing the upper and lower ends of the handle from slipping out of the upper and lower mounts engage with the upper and lower mounts and thereby secure the handle to the vessel.

Handle for a vessel

The present invention provides a method for dispensing beer and a dispenser, which have the same effect as conventional methods of discharging beer under the pressure of carbon dioxide gas, to form a plurality of streams of beer when beer is dispensed from a bottle, barrel, can, beer tap, etc. into a receiver. The present invention further offers a metal container which can easily form a plurality of streams of beer. The beer dispensed according to the present invention has a creamy head of foam and a mild, soft taste.
