Abstract: An improved spill-resistant liquid bottle having a curved passageway and a vent passageway on the side in a curved neck having the shape of the number “7”, the letter “Z” or the letter “S” incorporated into the design of its mouth opening. This improved spill-resistant design allows a full bottle of liquid to be partially turned over with liquid level inside the bottle higher than the liquid level at the mouth opening, yet allowing no liquid to flow out from the bottle. Liquid will start to flow out only after the, bottle is turned further and the tilting angle reaches the predetermined start-to-pour angle. The start-to-pour angle is the tilting angle of the bottle when outside air starts to enter the bottle and liquid inside the bottle starts to flow out. This design makes pouring liquid from a full bottle much less likely to spill. The curved passageway creates additional flow restriction in comparison to ordinary bottles without such design.

Abstract: Liquid mixing and dispensing apparatus which can dispense a high and a low flow rate by means of a flow control valve.

A flow control valve is positioned upstream of the selector valves and has a high and a low flow rate capacity. The high and low flow capacity is accomplished by metering devices placed in a ball of the valve or the valve housing.

Abstract: The object of this invention is to provide a cap for liquid containers. The cap consists of a mounting part mounted to the mouth of a container, a liquid discharging part extending from the top of the mounting part upwardly.

An openable top cover, connected to a side of the mounting part, covers the liquid discharging part. When liquid is discharged from the container through the liquid outlet opening, atmospheric air is smoothly introduced into the container through the air inlet opening without causing uneven flow or violent gush of the outlet liquid.

The quantity regulating dispensing mechanism includes a pair of concentric tubular members, rotatable relative to one another, where such members feature a series of apertures or ports that may be aligned, through rotation of one of the members, to control the quantity of fluid to be dispensed at any given time, such as in increments of gallons.

Abstract: A dispensing device for viscous pastes, for multiple users, which deploys a plurality of color coded caps for their personal identification and use. The device is screwed onto a squeezable tube of paste (for example, toothpaste), and, as the tube is squeezed, the paste flows through the device, past caps in a “closed” position, and out of a desired number of caps in an “open” position, in order to dispense paste. The caps' conduits are of a predetermined circumference for dispensing the desired amount of the paste. A smaller circumference is more economical, as less paste would flow out of such a conduit. This would be especially useful when the users are children. Threaded or friction-fitting cap tops may be attached to the device. If attached by friction-fitting, the cap tops form orbital lips to ensure a tight frictional fit to the cap necks. Connecting bands link the dispensing cap tops to the device, so that the tops won't be lost.
