Patent ID: 8887904

Claim:
A container for storing and dispensing a substance comprising: a deformable nipple having an open bottom end, a feeding tip, and a storage cavity positioned above the open bottom end of the nipple, the storage cavity being defined by an interior upper wall of the nipple and a lid that is connected to a part of the nipple using a tether so that the storage cavity does not extend below the open bottom end of the deformable nipple; and a tether connecting the nipple to the lid; wherein the lid is adapted to releasably engage the open bottom end of the nipple to be moveable between a storage position and a mixing position; wherein, in the storage position, the lid is disposed in sealing engagement to the open end bottom end of the nipple so as to form a bottom portion of the storage cavity adjacent to the bottom end of the nipple, wherein in the mixing position, the lid is disengaged from the open bottom end of the nipple to allow the substance to be released from the storage cavity of the nipple; and wherein the container transitions from the storage position to the mixing position upon application of an external force to the nipple, causing the nipple to deform and the lid to be moved from the storage position to the mixing position by being disengaged from the open bottom end of the nipple.
