Abstract: The present invention is a self-measuring container that dispenses only a specific amount of fluid each time fluid is poured from the container. This container has a storage chamber where the fluid initially resides and a measuring/dispensing chamber, below the storage chamber, where the specific amount of the fluid that will be dispensed during the next pouring operation resides. An aperture at one end of the container connects the storage and dispensing chambers. This aperture permits the fluid in the storage chamber to flow into the dispensing chamber. The container dispenses the fluid through an exit channel that extends from the dispensing chamber to the top of the container. The storage chamber bottom serves to separate the storage and dispensing chambers and acts as a barrier during a pouring operation to prevent fluid from flowing from the storage chamber to the dispensing chamber until desired.

Abstract: A fluid dispensing device comprises a tube and a holding means. When used with a container, the holding means is connected to a neck of the container and the tube is plunged into an interior of the container. An area on the tube, by which the tube is held by the holding means, defines a distance between a lower end of the tube and the bottom of the container. Consequently, a maximal amount of the fluid for the selected area that can be dispensed from the container upon its tilting is determined. A metering container is formed by combining the dispensing device and a container.

Abstract: An adjustable amount of liquid is reproducibly withdrawn from a container having a pre-chamber in free flow communication with the interior of the container. The pre-chamber is initially filled with an amount of liquid from the container and is in communication with a measuring chamber. The measuring chamber has an adjustably pre-set volume and is in communication with a closeable outlet. Thus, after the amount to be withdrawn from the measuring chamber has been adjusted, discharge of the preset volume is effected through the outlet without the necessity of additional manipulations such as shaking the container or separating the dosage metering part from the container to effect the discharge of a precise amount of liquid.

Abstract: The present invention is a medicine dispenser with sealed caps to prevent access of the contents to children. The medicine dispenser provides a challenge for children to gain access to the contents, while allowing relatively easy access to adults.

Abstract: Dispensing containers are described in which a metering chamber for the contents of a fluid container is mounted in the neck of the container. Openings intermediate the height of the chamber allow it to be put in communication with the container interior by a rotary movement, e.g. applied to an external closure cap. When the closure cap is rotated to open the chamber to the container interior it also adopts a sealing position preventing the escape of any of the contents. The space in the chamber above the apertures is greater than that below. Sufficient fluid can be admitted to the chamber by inverting the container, therefore, to ensure that the lower space is completely filled when the container is again turned upright. Reverse rotation closes the openings to isolate the metered fluid from the main volume of the container and can also open the chamber to the exterior to allow the metered quantity to be dispensed.

Abstract: A shot dispenser for dispensing a controlled volume of liquid from a bottle includes a base cap assembly having at least one bleed slot.

The sleeve may be adapted for sliding movement to change positions, or, as an alternative, the sleeve can have a foldable, accordion-like structure which allows adjustment of the sleeve position. The invention can be configured as a disposable, one-piece dispensing unit, wherein one of a plurality of one-piece units, each having a different sized sleeve integrally formed therein, is chosen to select a particular measured amount. The dispensing unit is attached to a container by a flexible spring loop or a plurality of gripping fingers.

Abstract: When dispensing unhomogenized materials from bottles such as those containing some salad dressings, mint sauce and the like, it is difficult to obtain a portion thereof with the correct proportions of the unmixed ingredients even though they are shaken before dispensing, because of the rapid settlement of the heavier fraction or fractions. The present device consists of a small cylinder insertable in or formed integrally with the bottle neck and having a vertical web dividing the neck into two chambers, one chamber being open at the upper and lower ends and the other being closed at the base and open at the top to communicate with the top portion of the first chamber. When the cap is secured to the top of the bottle neck, the contents can be shaken whereupon the bottle is inverted so that the contents flow through the first chamber and fill the second chamber.

Abstract: A fluid container (1) with a dosage assembly (3) for delivering a metered amount of fluid through an outlet opening (32) when the container is turned 180.degree.. The dosage assembly (3) includes a plunger (20) which is movable between positions which respectively open and block the outlet opening. A timer chamber (15) which includes an aperture (16) communicates with a passageway between the outlet opening (32) and the container through a feed opening 18.

Abstract: A bottle is specially designed for storing, measuring and dispensing liquids or pourable granular materials having a lower relatively large capacity reservoir for storing the material to be later measured and dispensed and an upper measuring chamber of a lesser capacity and having raised graduated marks thereon indicating a plurality of predetermined measured capacities. The lower and upper chambers are in fluid communication with one another by a passageway formed internally of the bottle. The passageway is configured so that when the bottle is tipped, a quantity of fluid may be transferred from the storage reservoir into the measuring chamber until a desired quantity has been transferred into that chamber. Formed in the top of the measuring chamber is a pour spout having a cap thereon which, when removed, can allow the measured quantity to be dispensed from the measuring chamber.

Abstract: The device consists of a cylindrical body divided into an upper filling chamber and a lower overflow chamber by a moveable component which increases or decreases the size of the filling chamber and determines the amount of liquor to be dispensed. Once the upper chamber is visually determined to be filled a rearward pumping action of the outer body opens the releasing cap and at the same time shuts off the flow of liquor into the filling chamber. The device is attached by insertion into the neck opening of a bottle.

Abstract: This invention teaches a dispensing container (10) whereby a predetermined quantity of powdery or granular materials can be dispensed for each pouring operation. Such container is partitioned into one volume control chamber (27) and one storage chamber (28) by a guard panel (50). Upon tilting of the container, material flows out through a metered dispensing outlet (30) until a swinging control panel (40), induced by gravity, moves downward to completely block any further outflow. The quantity to be dispensed can be changed by adjusting the opening sizes of the outlet. An additional free-flow outlet (35) provides the user an option to use this container either as a measured pourer or as a free pourer.
