Abstract (en)

[origin: EP2774874A1] The invention relates to a closure element for a multi-compartment container, to a multi-compartment container comprising at least two interconnectable compartments and to methods of producing such products. The problem to be solved is to provide a closure element with a compartment for a multi-compartment container and a multi-compartment container allowing to repeatedly establish and separate a fluid communication between two compartments, the closure element and the multi-compartment container being based on a simple construction and inexpensive in manufacturing. Furthermore methods of producing a closure element and a multi-compartment container shall be provided. An inventive closure element comprises a) a container with a compartment (16) for storing content, b) at least one opening (44) with a channel (20) leading to the compartment (16), c) the channel (20) allowing to insert a bottle neck (22) of an insertion element in an extension direction (e) of the channel (20), d) a coupling element allowing to connect the closure element to the insertion element (14) being inserted into the channel (20) and e) means for opening and closing a fluid communication between the closure element (12) and the insertion element (14) by relative movement of the closure element (12) to the insertion element (14).
