US 2012/0160798 A1 · Healthy Pour Serving Size Cap

Abstract

The present invention relates to a cap that can be used in conjunction with the packaging of food products such as salad dressing sauces, condiments or other ingredients such as oils or vinegars, and more particularly to a healthy pour serving size cap that will hold the same amount of product as indicated as a “serving size” on the product's label. The serving size cap contains a top chamber, a floor, and a bottom chamber. The cap also has a lid to open or seal the top chamber. After the user squeezes the product into the top chamber, the lid can then be opened to allow the correct serving sized portion to pour out. The membrane at the floor would keep additional product from dispensing when the bottle is tipped to pour. The entire cap can be screwed off in the event that the user wants to open the bottle.
