A device and technique for proportioning of beverages while they flow which employ the working of gravity on a cyclic basis. The technique is based on a driving wheel's rotation initiated by an outflow of liquid. For the duration of a single cycle of proportioning, a set amount of beverage is allowed to flow out, which is in a direct ratio to the continuance of a proportioning cycle as completed by the driving wheel and in a reverse ratio to the rate of rotation. The rate of rotation is being set by the degree of inclination of the driving wheel's blades. The higher the blades' degree of inclination, the higher the driving wheel's rate of rotation is; this results in a smaller amount of liquid allowed to flow out (i.e. be proportioned) for the duration of a single cycle, and vice versa.
A technique for proportioning of beverages while the beverages flow which employs the working of gravity on a cyclic basis and maintains a direct ratio between the duration of a single cycle on the part of a driving wheel and the amount of liquid outflow being proportioned, and maintains a reverse ratio between the rate of rotation of said driving wheel and the amount of liquid outflow being proportioned, and wherein said technique further includes said driving wheel being a freely fixed driving wheel that performs a positional (gradual) movement during the stages of a proportioning cycle for whose duration are being kept as constant inrush, pressure and amount of liquid outflow.
A device for proportioning of beverages while the beverages flow which employs the working of gravity on a cyclic basis, comprising a chamber having a driving wheel and containing a bottle having a separate opening, wherein said chamber prevents air from flowing inside the bottle by featuring the separate opening, wherein the mechanical energy of liquid flowing through the device causes said driving wheel to complete a cycle of rotation and then prevent further outflow of liquid through the device, and wherein said driving wheel makes axial progressive and reflex rotation for the duration of a proportioning cycle.
