Claim Text:
1. A multi-chamber container for dispensing flowable substances, comprising: a body having: a first storage chamber for storing a first flowable substance, a second storage chamber for storing a second flowable substance, a vessel defining a first outlet zone having a first outlet, a second outlet zone having a second outlet, and a separator between the first outlet zone and the second outlet zone, wherein the vessel is movable relative to the first and second storage chambers between a first position and a second position, a first inlet that fluidly connects the first storage chamber with the first outlet zone, a second inlet that fluidly connects the second storage chamber with the second outlet zone, a first member movable between: an inactive state, at which the first member seals the first inlet to isolate the first storage chamber from the first outlet zone, and at which the first outlet is open so that the first outlet zone is in fluid communication with a downstream side of the first outlet, and an active state, at which the first member seals the first outlet to isolate the first outlet zone from the downstream side of the first outlet, and at which the first inlet is open so that the first storage chamber is in fluid communication with the first outlet zone, and a second member movable between: an inactive state, at which the second member seals the second inlet to isolate the second storage chamber from the second outlet zone, and at which the second outlet is open so that the second outlet zone is in fluid communication with a downstream side of the second outlet, and an active state, at which the second member seals the second outlet to isolate the second outlet zone from the downstream side of the second outlet, and at which the second inlet is open so that the second storage chamber is in fluid communication with the second outlet zone, wherein movement of the vessel between the first position and the second position causes the first and second members to move between their respective inactive and active states; and a closure movable relative to the body between a closed position, at which the closure isolates the first and second outlets from an exterior of the container, and an open position, at which the first and second outlets are in fluid communication with the exterior of the container.
