Abstract:
A closure device which includes a fluid chamber containing an additive such as a liquid and a housing having a plug member. The cap member is provided with a primary engagement means, such as an internal thread, which engages with a corresponding primary engagement means provided on the housing, such as an external thread, to allow the cap member to be lifted relative to the housing from a closed position in which the plug member closes a bottom aperture and a spout aperture in the fluid chamber, through a first open position in which the plug member is at least partially withdrawn from the bottom aperture while still closing the spout aperture, thereby allowing the additive to pass from the fluid chamber, and to a second open position in which the spout aperture is at least partially open.
Abstract:
A closure device which includes a fluid chamber containing an additive such as a liquid which can be introduced and mixed into a liquid in a container by operation of the closure device. The closure device includes a cap member having a fluid chamber and a housing having a plug member. The cap member may have a cam or follower surface on a lower surface of the cap top wall, which engages with a corresponding cam or follower surface on an upper surface of the housing, to allow the cap member to be lifted relative to the housing from a closed position in which the plug member closes an aperture in the fluid chamber to an open position in which the plug member is at least partially withdrawn from the aperture, thereby allowing the additive to pass from the fluid chamber to the liquid in the bottle.
Abstract:
A dispensing apparatus for dispensing a product from a container is disclosed. The dispenser includes a product chamber within the container; a valve adjacent to the product chamber; a hinge assembly secured to the opening of the container and to which is connected a nozzle assembly; and a lever attached by means of the hinge assembly. The nozzle assembly includes an actuator portion provided with a lever bearing surface which co-operates with a bearing portion on the lever such that operation of the lever causes movement of the actuator portion to open the valve and permit flow of the product out of the container. The nozzle assembly includes at least one dog tooth and the hinge assembly includes at least one slot, such that the valve can open only when the dog tooth is aligned with the slot.
