Abstract: A device for dispensing a pre-measured amount of material from a container having a closed bottom, a mouth opening and a side wall. The device includes a discharge tube and a measuring reservoir pivotably attached to a lower end of the discharge tube for capturing a pre-determined amount of material. The reservoir is pivotable from a first position in which the reservoir is substantially parallel to the discharge tube to a second position in which the discharge tube and the reservoir are substantially perpendicular to one another. With the reservoir in the first position, the reservoir and the discharge tube are insertable into a container having a relatively narrow mouth opening. With the reservoir in the second position, the discharge opening of the reservoir communicates with an opening in the second end of the discharge tube, in a dispensing ready position.

Abstract: A metered liquid dispensing device for dispensing a quantity of liquid from a container. The device includes an applicator and a rotatable metering device. The metering device includes an cavity or chamber and rotates from a first position, wherein the chamber is filled from the container, to a second position, wherein the liquid contents of the chamber flows into the applicator. The applicator may include a roll-on applicator or similar topical applicator. Seals may prevent leakage of liquid from apertures and openings during transitions and while in the first and second positions.

Abstract: A metered liquid dispensing device for dispensing a quantity of liquid from a container. The device includes an applicator and a rotatable metering device. The metering device includes an inner chamber and rotates from a first position, wherein the chamber is filled from the container, to a second position, wherein the liquid contents of the chamber flows into the applicator. The applicator may include a roll-on applicator or similar topical applicator. Seals may prevent leakage of liquid from apertures and openings during transitions and while in the first and second positions.

Abstract: A device for dispensing a pre-determined volume of liquid from a container. The device comprises a pour spout adapted for coupling to the mouth of the container, an inverted cup including an open mouth and a discharge port communicating with the interior of the cup, and a dispensing tube coupling the pour spout to the discharge port. A check valve is provided inside the cup. The container has a bottom which includes a well having a base and a shoulder. The open mouth is adapted for sealing against the shoulder such that the cup, when disposed in the container, defines a measuring reservoir including an inlet port.

Abstract: A dispensing device for dispensing a pre-measured amount of a liquid or a powdered material from a container. The dispensing device fits inside the container and comprises a lower measuring reservoir, a discharge tube, and an upper compartment. The upper compartment couples the device to the mouth of the container and includes a pressure equalizer. The measuring reservoir is suspended inside the container by the discharge tube and upper compartment so that material can move freely around the measuring reservoir. To dispense a pre-measured amount of material, the container is inverted which causes the material to be captured by the measuring reservoir. To facilitate capturing material, the reservoir includes a number of inlet notches. The reservoir also includes an overflow tube. The function of the overflow tube is to meter the amount of material that is captured by releasing any excess which may accumulate when the container is inverted.
