  • Patent number: 5853111
    Abstract: The invention is a tubular two-chamber liquid metering device for leaktlight insertion into a container opening. The metering device consists of a cylindrical wall with a closed base and a cover which is provided with a passage for a pouring duct. The wall has at least one opening in the region of the cover and at least one further opening is located on a peripheral line between the opening and the base. Disposed in the outer cylindrical chamber defined by the wall, the base and the cover is a tubular body which at one end is connected in a leaktight manner to the pouring duct and at its other end maintains a distance from the base. The tubular body has at least one opening on a peripheral line in the region of the connection to the pouring duct. A freely movable body with a circular cross-section is provided in the main metering chamber defined by the inner cylinder between the opening and the base.

The pouring openings are each juxtaposed in the pouring direction necessary to dispense the first and second components, by an individual pouring edge, which both rises beyond the outer surface of the cap, and projects beyond the associated pouring opening in the lateral or peripheral direction. Each pouring edge is shaped for providing in the tilted position of the container necessary for pouring via gravity said first and second components from said pouring openings, a sink formed in the region of the associated pouring opening.
