Abstract: A measure for dispensing measured quantities of two liquors from a pair of bottles has a pair of measuring and receiving bowls associated with the bottles. Sleeves engage within necks of the bottles for delivery of liquid from each bottle to an associated bowl. Valve members in each bowl have normally open inlet liquid seals which cooperate with the sleeves to control filling of the bowls. Outlet liquid seals on the valve members normally close liquid outlets of the bowls. An actuating lever is operable to raise the valve members, moving the seals upwardly for opening the outlets and closing the inlets of the bowls. Thus, liquid measures flow from the bowls substantially concurrently into a glass or the like placed below the liquid outlets. The outlets are arranged to direct the two liquids to opposite sides of the glass so that the liquids remain separated within the glass. Release of the actuating lever drops the valve members closing the liquid outlets and opening the inlets for recharging the bowls.

Abstract: A measure for use in dispensing drinks and other liquids which are of relatively high viscosity, such as cream based liqueurs, having a measuring chamber with an entry port and an exit port, an internal operating standard and an actuator to move the internal operating standard between a dispensing position in which it seals the entry port and a resting position in which it seals the exit port. The dispensing measure is also provided with a nose external to the measuring chamber, whereby having an external surface for guiding fluid flow which is fluid being dispensed from the measuring chamber flows through the exit port, on the external surface of the nose and into a receptacle held beneath. The internal operating standard has a portion which is cylindrical and fits slidably within a cylindrical internal wall of an outlet portion positioned at the exit port so that the internal wall is wiped clean as the internal operating standard returns to its resting position.
