Abstract: A liquid dispenser and cap valve assembly therefor is provided to dispense a controlled dose of liquid. The liquid dispenser and cap valve assembly therefor is particularly suitable for dispensing liquid soaps and lotions. The liquid dispensing cap valve assembly comprises a dosing cap having an upper portion and a lower portion, a divider piece mounted in the dosing cap, and two oppositely acting check valves. The lower portion and the divider piece defines a dosing reservoir. A first check valve mounted on the divider piece serves to open and close a liquid passageway from a storage container to the dosing reservoir, depending on a fluid pressure in the dosing reservoir. A second check valve fixedly mounted to the lower portion serves to open and close a liquid passageway from the dosing reservoir to an outlet orifice, acting oppositely to the first check valve.
