  • Patent number: 6675845
    Abstract: A method and package for controlled metered dispensing of a fluid product contained in the package having a metered dispensing system, each time the package is opened or uncapped are disclosed. By the present method and package, the maximum amount of product that can be dispensed is limited to a single metered dose after each uncapping of the package. Specifically, the metered dispensing system is configured to allow dispensing of only a single metered dose of a liquid, viscous liquid, gel, paste, or semi-solid product contained in the package and to prevent further dispensing of additional doses of product until at least one specific and deliberate step is taken that re-activates or re-engages the dispensing system. Such deliberate step is preferably one that occurs through natural use of the package, such as re-capping the open package after one single dose has been dispensed. Only after the open package has been re-capped can the next dose of product be available for dispensing.

  • Publication number: 20030234062
    Abstract: A can with a predetermined output quantity comprises a can body, a positioning ring, a rotatable cover, and a receiving spoon. The can body has a flange which is engagable with a trench in the rotatable cover. An interior of the can body has a plurality of grooves. A bottom of the receiving spoon is protruded with a circular buckling flange. A diameter of the circular buckling flange is slightly smaller than an inner diameter of a U shape track of the rotatable cover. Thereby, the receiving spoon is embedded into the U shape track to be confined therein. A hollow end of the receiving spoon is exactly aligned to the through hole of the rotatable cover. Thus, the height of the receiving spoon is adjustable so that the user can take a predetermined amount of powders or materials in the can conveniently.

  • Patent number: 4312390
    Abstract: A coffee dispensing device comprising a bracket and spring retainer for securing the device adjacent the mouth of a container. Ears on the bracket secure a parti-spherical inner closure member. A dispensing cup has its mouth adjacent a central opening in the inner closure member and is moveable between loading and dispensing positions within the member. The cup is biased to the dispensing position and an outer closure member slides over and about the inner closure member in sealing engagement. A handle for the outer closure member serves as an acutator for the dispensing cup and has a push rod for moving the cup to its loading position and its dispensing position. In the loading position and with the container inverted, coffee falls beneath the cup within the inner closure member, and in the dispensing position the coffee falls from within the cup through the opening in the inner closure member and into the outer closure member.
