  • Patent number: 6877640
    Abstract: A device for dispensing a predetermined measured volume of a fluent material, such as liquid and/or powder, to a washing machine. The device includes a container for storing the fluent material, a flexible tube for delivering the fluent material from the container to the washing machine and at least two control valves along the flexible tube for interrupting the flow of the fluent material. The two control valves define an intermediate portion of the flexible tube having a predetermined measured volume. The first valve is opened to allow the fluent material to flow into and fill the intermediate portion. The second valve is opened after closing the first valve to allow the predetermined volume of fluent material to flow into the washing machine.
