Abstract
A device is disclosed which provides direct and effective incorporation of material (such as medicine) from a separate container into the contents of a liquid dispensing device. The device has a hollow sleeve extending outwardly, an openable closure, a securing member which engages a mating member on the container, and a conduit (such as a needle) to provide fluid communication between the device and the container, with the fluid communication occurring upon attachment of the container to the device. The device can also provide for attaching the separate container to the dispensing device but without initially establishing liquid communication between the two.
