Abstract: A dispensing system (100) includes a pour cap (102) which may be connected with the neck of a container (900). The cap base includes a main deck (108), a dispensing spout (110) and a venting tube (112). A flow regulator is mounted on the underside of the main deck such that the flow regulator restricts flow through the opening of the dispensing spout. In some embodiments, the flow regulator is a hinged spring-loaded baffle plate (116). In some embodiments, the flow regulator is a gravity ball valve (316). A visual timing device (200) may be advantageously located on the pour cap (102) so that the timing device is easily visible to a user during operation or use of the dispensing system. The constant flow rate provided by the flow regulator allows the timing device to more precisely measure each pour regardless of how much fluid is in the bottle.

Abstract: A new foam spraying apparatus 1 is described for a liquid container. It comprises a piston and cylinder unit (20; 37) for the air and a piston and cylinder unit (21; 38) for the liquid in which arrangement the piston and cylinder units (20, 37; 21, 38) each are provided with an inlet valve (30; 44) and with an outlet valve (24) and are co-operating being coupled to each other. Furthermore a mixing chamber (14) for the mixture of air and liquid and a spraying head (2) with a foam delivery opening (9) are provided. The cylinder (20) of the first unit and the piston (21) of the second unit are interconnected to an intermediate part (5). Furthermore the piston (37) of the first unit and the cylinder (38) of the second unit are also interconnected to a base part (4) in such a manner that the intermediate part (5) and the base part (4) mesh and are movable relative to each other.
