Abstract

See full text

A comestibles consumption device (12) for the simultaneous dispensing of a liquid (40), such as milk, and a dry comestible (42), such as cereal, by the force of gravity when tilted for use, directly into the mouth of a consumer without the use of other tools or utensils. The device (12) consists of an outer container (20) for holding the liquid (40); an inner container (22) for holding the dry comestible (42) separate from the liquid (40); preferably a lid (24) with a comestible opening (34) and a cover piece (26) for controlling the flow of the dry comestible (42); and a liquid channel (28) and a liquid opening (32) for controlling the flow of the liquid (40) from the outer container (20). The inner container (22) seals with the outer container (20) to form the liquid channel (28) and a vent channel (46). The liquid (40) flows past the inner container (22), through the liquid channel (28), and out of the liquid opening (32) located just below the comestible opening (34) when the device (12) is tilted for use. The lid (24) preferably attaches to inner container (22) and outer container (20). The dry comestible (42) and liquid (40) can be dispensed simultaneously, separately, or mixed together.
