1. Spender zum Austragen von Flüssigkeiten. 2.1. Die Erfindung betrifft einen Spender (10) zum Austragen von Flüssigkeiten mit einem Flüssigkeitsspeicher (20) zur Aufnahme der Flüssigkeit (12) vor dem Austrag und einem zu einer Flüssigkeitsaustrittsöffnung (62) führenden Flüssigkeitsaustrittskanal (60), durch den der Flüssigkeitsspeicher (20) mit einer Umgebungsatmosphäre verbunden ist, wobei der Spender (10) zur Benutzung in einer Nutzlage ausgebildet ist, in der die Flüssigkeitsaustrittsöffnung (60) unterhalb des Flüssigkeitsspeichers (20) angeordnet ist, so dass die Flüssigkeit (12) durch ihre Gewichtskraft in Richtung der Flüssigkeitsaustrittsöffnung (62) fließt und der Flüssigkeitsaustrittskanal (60) derart ausgebildet ist, dass er zumindest in der Nutzlage nicht gleichzeitig ein Eintreten von Luft in den Flüssigkeitsspeicher (20) und ein Austreten von Flüssigkeit (12) in die Umgebungsatmosphäre gestattet. 2.2. Erfindungsgemäß ist zur Reduzierung des Innenvolumens des Spenders (10; 110) und damit zur Bewirkung eines Flüssigkeitsaustrags ein in einer Betätigungsrichtung manuell von einer Hubausgangslage bis in eine Hubendlage einschiebbarer Schieber (50; 150) vorgesehen.
Abstract:
An apparatus for dispensing a controlled dose of a substance wherein the apparatus includes a compressible tube portion, a tip portion extending from the tube portion sized to receive a substance to be dosed, and a breakaway portion being removably coupled to the tip portion. The breakaway portion reveals an aperture in the tip portion upon removal of the breakaway portion. Finally, a valve member is slidably disposed in the tip portion such that the valve member can be movable in response to fluid pressure and/or manual force application to urge the substance within the tip portion out of the aperture as a controlled dose.
Abstract:
Device for dispensing of a dose of a specified quantity of fluid from a container or bottle, adapted for mounting on an outlet of a container or bottle comprising an inner pipe (106) containing an opening that extends into the container or bottle, a connection piece (104) mountable on the outlet of the container or bottle, a top hat (101) comprising an outlet (102) in a mouthpiece and a pipe section (118) reaching down into the inner pipe (106), and circumferential side wall (103) slidable mounted along the connection piece (104). A method of operating the device is also disclosed.

Abstract:
A fluid container (10) is provided that includes at least two separate reservoirs (12, 6) therein and a metering pump device (20) for delivering a substantially equal metered dose of fluid material (18) from one of the reservoirs (16) to the other reservoir (12) with each dispensing operation. In one example, a beverage container (10) is provided that allows the user to introduce a metered dose of ingredients or additives (18) from a separate reservoir (16) to the beverage (14) contained therein prior to or while drinking. In another example, a cap (150) is provided that can be affixed to a beverage container (10), wherein the cap (150) contains ingredients or additives and a metered dispensing system (154). The container or cap (150) allows the user to add or adjust the levels of flavorings, supplements, purifying agents, or other ingredients prior to or during drinking.
Abstract:
A fluid dispensing system for monitoring a weight of a fluid dispensed by a fluid dispenser (10, 201). A first monitoring device (50, 212) determines a first flow characteristic, for example, pressure, of the pressurized fluid flowing through the fluid dispenser; and a second monitoring device (209) determines a second flow characteristic, for example, viscosity, of the pressurized fluid flowing through the fluid dispenser (10, 201). A monitor control (216) produces an output representing a weight of the fluid dispensed by the fluid dispenser (10, 201) as a function of the first and second flow characteristics. The monitor control (216) also stores values relating to a size of an orifice through which the pressurized fluid is dispensed and a density of the pressurized fluid. The weight value is determined as a function of the orifice size and the density values. The present invention also includes a method of monitoring a weight of a fluid being dispensed by a fluid dispenser (10, 201).
Abstract:
A liquor dispensing system is disclosed which employs dispensing caps (10) attached to bottles (14) and operable to dispense predetermined quantities of liquor when inverted and fitted into a dispensing station (12) as shown. Valves within the cap are electrically or mechanically or vacuum operated from within the station (12) via connections established between a cap-connector and alignment-tongue (54) on the base plate (20) of the cap (10) and a coacting station connector (66). The cap (10) is locked to the station (12) during the dispensing process by means of pawls (62), at least two valves (usually the inlet and outlet) can be operated independently by the station (12), and, means are provided within the station to detect whether or not a full-measure of liquor is in the cap and whether or not the cap is empty, the valves being operated and the cap being released accordingly. The metering chamber has a sight-glass which enables the level of liquid therein to be seen from outside the cap. The presence of a full or half measure of liquor in the chamber is detected by optical sensors or by other level detection systems based upon electrical conductivity.
