Abstract:
A transportable container apparatus includes an elongate container having a central axis and a base attached to a bottom end of the container. The container and base are substantially symmetrical about the central axis and the container is oriented substantially vertically with the base resting on a ground surface when in a working position. The container having an upper container section with upper walls substantially parallel to the central axis and a lower container section with lower walls substantially parallel to the central axis. The upper container section includes a sloping hopper at a bottom thereof to direct granular material into the lower container section. A floor of the container is sloped toward an outlet port defined in a ported wall of the lower container section such that granular material stored in the container slides down the floor to the outlet port.
Abstract:
A dispenser for two liquids such as liquor and flavoring mounted on a bottle of the first liquid. A container of the second liquid is provided in the dispenser. When the bottle is tilted, a predetermined amount of both liquids are measured in separate measuring containers within the dispenser. When a trigger is pulled, the measured amounts of both liquids are released together so as to mix, while the release of both liquids beyond the measured amounts is blocked.
Abstract:
A dosing device for dispensing liquid from a container (1) in which flow through flow openings (23) to an outlet tube (44) is blocked after controlled delay by an obturator (3) moveable within a control chamber (2) mounted in a container neck (101) behind the outlet tube (44). Movement of the obturator (3) is governed by restricted flow through control openings (28) at the rear of the control chamber. Restoration of the obturator to the back of the control chamber facilitates repeated dosing. An elastomeric element (6) of resiliently deformable material promotes a seal to achieve a cleanly defined dose. In one proposal the elastomeric element coats the surface of the obturator and/or the outlet tube (64) to cut off the flow. Another proposal provides a one-way elastomeric valve element (63) for blocking the flow openings to enable rapid recovery after a dosing operation.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a holder for holding a liquid, which includes a supply chamber with a bottom surface, a peripheral wall standing from the peripheral edge of the bottom surface and a closing upper surface, wherein a passage opening is arranged close to or in the upper surface; a dosing chamber arranged on the passage opening of the supply chamber, wherein the dosing chamber further comprises a pouring opening for pouring the liquid out of the dosing chamber; and a closure for closing either the pouring opening or the passage opening as desired. At least a part of the dosing chamber extends below the level of the passage opening.
Abstract:
A volume metering dispenser comprises a body having a fluid cavity therein. The body further has a body wall, at least a portion of which is transparent or translucent, thereby permitting the operator to see the level of fluid within at least a portion of the fluid cavity. A valve is disposed within the body portion, the valve comprises a seal. The seal is selectively engaged to the body in order to selectively dispense fluid. The volume metering dispenser further comprises a resilient member. The resilient member is elastically deformable and the valve is attached to the resilient member.

Abstract:
A transportable container apparatus includes an elongate container with a base. The container and base are substantially symmetrical about the central axis, typically cylindrical, and oriented substantially vertically when in a working position. The container has an upper container section and a lower container section, where the upper container section has an upper cross-sectional area that is greater than a lower cross-sectional area of the lower container section. Typically the upper section has a diameter 1.5-2.0 times the diameter of the lower section. The upper section includes a sloping hopper at a bottom thereof, configured to direct granular material into the lower container section. An outlet port is defined in a ported wall of the lower container section, and a floor of the container is sloped toward the outlet port such that granular material stored in the container slides down the floor to the outlet port.
Abstract:
A dispenser for granular material such as sugar and salt or other granular ingredients, including a collection portion and metering chamber. A metering cartridge located in the metering chamber includes a portion recess which collects a predetermined amount of granular material to be dispensed. The metering chamber is actuated and the granular material located in the portion recess is dispensed.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a dosing device comprising a storage container and a storage chamber disposed therein, a dosing container and a dosing chamber disposed therein, and a dosing connection between the storage chamber and the dosing chamber.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a dosing device. The dosing device comprises a storage container with a storage chamber disposed therein for accommodating a filling material, a dosing container with a dosing chamber disposed therein, an outlet with an outlet opening for dispensing the filling material, a closure member by means of which the outlet opening can be closed, and a valve wherein the valve is able to assume a dispensing position and a dosing position.
