Abstract
An apparatus is provided for separately storing and selectively mixing a first component, which is in a liquid form, and a second component. The apparatus is formed of a first container made of a flexible material, having a communication mouth with an isolator and adapted to store the first component therein, a supporting case connected to the communication mouth, a second container having a mouth portion held in the case and a plug fitted in the mouth portion and adapted to store the second component, and a hollow, inflexible communication device capable of penetrating through the isolator and the plug. The communication device is accommodated in the first container and is attached to the communication mouth movably therein. The first and second containers can therefore be communicated with each other in a liquid-tight fashion by externally pressing the communication device toward the second container so that the first and second components can be mixed together without changing the positional relationship between the first and second containers.
