Thus, as can be seen in the figures, the package 3 of this example has a main body 1 that is cylindrical and open at two opposite ends, one of them being closed from permanent way with an end closure 12 that is waterproof and that allows to retain part of the objects incorporated inside the container 3, configuring in this example the aforementioned extreme closure 12 through a cover that is inserted under pressure to determine a permanent tight space in approximately half of the container 3, as seen in Figure 2.

The package 3 further comprises a cap 2 provided of a lid 5 that seals a spout 13, as may can be seen in figures 1, 2 and 3.

Cap 2 is a screw cap that facilitates the displacement of a sharp element 6 to act on a 10 separable partition wall that is placed on an annular base internal 4 belonging to the main body 1; settling in this annular base 4 the referred partition 10, either by gluing, extension of the plastic material that forms the main body 1, or by an auxiliary body of an easily breakable material and that determine at least one partition when connecting it to the mentioned base cancel 4.

In the present example of the invention the stabbing element 6 of the screw cap 2 has a length of at minus half of the cylindrical body 1, while the separation with respect to the internal walls of said cylindrical body 1 consists of a distance 7 that in any of the provisions of the sharp element 6 is greater than the maximum width of the part not through the annular base 4, that is, a distance 7 such that allow to operate by puncturing and tearing on partition 10 after remove a security seal 9 whose removal is facilitated by highlighting 8 shown in Figure 2. Thus, once With this seal 9 removed, the plug 2 can break the partition 10 by make the puncture element penetrate to a greater extent 6.

On the other hand, the lid 5 that forms a single body with the cap 2 and the main body 1, constitute a body plastic car Another plastic single piece body in this exemplary embodiment is the main body 1 together with the base internal ring 4.

On the other hand, the lid 5 has a internal configuration that allows to seal a mouth of pouring 13.

Another feature of the present example of the invention is that the piercing element 6 has two edges wavy shears between which an extreme tip is found stabbing 11, which greatly facilitates the puncture and rear torn partition 10.

Thus, with two or more mixable objects, the container of the present example you can determine a food container, a pillbox, a bottle, a toy, a candy wrapper and other bodies with functional possibilities for packaging various objects

However, in other embodiments of the invention, said partition could be double, triple or in another dimensioned; while the delimited receptacles could be done with other types of hermeticities or without them; rotting also make the punching and output elements of the corresponding mix with pitorros, pipes and tools torn, torn, punctured, cut or others that have not been shown in this example, but, that would not require inventive effort, since the possibilities of the invention are well reflected with the example described.
