Dosing timer and dispensers using the same

A timing device for metering a flowable product dispensed from a dispensing system including a pour cap with a spout, the timing device comprising:

• a transparent or translucent outer cylinder;
• a flow regulator within the outer cylinder;
• a timing fluid contained within the timing device,
• said flow regulator and said outer cylinder defining a storage reservoir and a timing reservoir, said flow regulator including a supply opening between the storage reservoir and the timing reservoir and a return opening between the timing reservoir and the storage reservoir;
• a check element movable within the storage reservoir;
• parallel spaced guide walls extending downwardly from the flow regulator;
• and
• a retention post extending downward from the flow regulator portion between the spaced guide walls,
• said guide walls and said retention post forming a guideway for movement of the check element within the storage reservoir to at least partially restrict flow from the storage reservoir into the timing reservoir when the timing device is tilted to a dispensing angle.
