Claim Text:
1. A liquid material storage and dispensing device, comprising: a container having exterior walls and a single internal partition therein; a first chamber defined by said exterior walls and said partition, said first chamber adapted to store a first fluid therein; a second chamber defined by said exterior walls and said partition, said second chamber having side portions, a top portion and a bottom portion, said second chamber adapted to store a second fluid or a mixture of said first and second fluids therein, and said second chamber arranged atop said first chamber, wherein said partition spans the entire length and width of said second chamber forming said bottom portion; a dispensing device affixed to said exterior wall and said partition such that said dispensing device passes vertically through said exterior wall, through said second chamber, said second fluid, and through said partition, and which is configured to move into said first chamber to reach an open position when said dispensing device is operated, and retract to a closed position when said dispensing device is not operated; a first port in said container for delivery of the first fluid into said first chamber; a second port in said container for delivery of the second fluid into the second container; and a fixed guard extending from said container to inhibit inadvertent operation of said dispensing device; a vent associated with said first chamber; wherein said device is adapted to substantially separate the first fluid in said first chamber from the second fluid in said second chamber after said first port and said second port are closed in an intended manner; and wherein, with said first port and said second port closed in an intended manner, said dispensing device is adapted to be operated independently of said first port and said second port to allow an amount of second fluid from the second chamber to pass into the first chamber and mix with said second fluid when said device is in an upright position and such that said dispensing device is adapted to automatically retract after operation to allow a remaining amount of the second fluid in said second chamber to be stored substantially separate from fluid in said first chamber; wherein said dispensing device passes through said partition at its lowest point and is extended into said first chamber above said first fluid so as to facilitate the mixing of said first fluid and a measured amount of said second fluid while preventing the contamination of said second fluid stored in said second chamber.
