Abstract
A liquid dispensing device mounted on a liquid container comprises a lower-plunger, an upper-plunger, a syringe, a rotating-cap and a hollow stud-bolt, combined such that the syringe is secured at the opening of the liquid container and the rotating-cap is set at the proximal end of the syringe. The rotating-cap runs on the hollow stud-bolt to set a dispense volume. The lower-plunger and upper-plunger are facing each other inside the syringe. The lower-plunger that passes through the distal end of the syringe is pushed into the syringe and when the lower-plunger is pulled back, a precise volume of liquid is trapped between the lower-plunger and the upper-plunger inside the syringe and dissipated from a dispensing outlet on the barrel of the syringe.
Claims6
A liquid dispensing device mounted underneath a liquid container comprising:
- (a) a syringe having a dispensing outlet on the barrel, a distal chamfered end in direct contact with the liquid inside the container, and a proximal end containing a central hole;
- (b) a lower-plunger having an arm attached to the front that propels liquid;
- (c) an upper-plunger having an arm attached to the rear and a central hole throughout the upper-plunger;
- and
- (d) a rotating-cap means having a thread that runs on the thread of a hollow stud-bolt means for setting the dispensing volume;
- and
- wherein the lower-plunger and the upper-plunger are arranged with the arm of the lower-plunger to pass through the upper-plunger and with the front side of both plungers facing each other, and
- wherein the upper-plunger and the syringe are arranged with the arm of the upper-plunger to pass through the central hole of said syringe, and
- wherein the rotating-cap is situated at the proximal end of the syringe, and
- whereby the rotating-cap means and the hollow stud-bolt means are engaged for setting the axial position of the hollow stud-bolt, and
- whereby the relative position of the upper-plunger inside the syringe is set, and
- whereby the syringe, the upper-plunger and the lower-plunger are engaged to open the distal end of the syringe and to partition a pocket space inside the syringe to be filled with liquid from the end of the syringe now open, and
- whereby the lower-plunger converges towards the upper-plunger to seal and to enter the open end of the syringe and then to dissipate the liquid trapped inside the pocket space from the dispensing outlet on the barrel of the syringe.
