Abstract

A device for storage, mixing, and dispensing of two separate materials, including but not limited to liquids, semi-liquids, powders, and granulated materials. The first and second containers include neck portions which are matably slidable within one another, the necks defining openings into each container. A plug member is retentively held in the neck of either container, and extends to a stopper portion which blocks fluid flow through the neck of the one container when it is positioned in the neck of the other container, thus separating the two independent materials during storage. A sleeve extends over the second container and at least a portion of the first container. A removable collar can be positioned between the second container and the first container to hold them in a position where the materials are separated for storage. By removal of the collar, the second container can be moved with respect to the first which moves the stopper portion out of the sealing position and allows communication between the containers for mixing. The second container can also include an opening sealingly closed by a second plug which allows a needle, cannula or other conduit to be inserted therethrough to withdraw the mixed fluids for dispensing.
