Abstract
A measured fluid dispenser includes a moveable member coupled with a liquid containing bottle. The moveable member is preferably spherical defining an internal volume therein. The moveable member defines two openings wherein only one opening intersects the longitudinal axis at one time. This allows the internal volume of the moveable member to be filled with liquid from the bottle, then rotated, then the measured fluid or liquid is dispensed from the moveable member.
Claims24
A measured fluid dispenser comprising:
- a moveable member defining an internal volume;
- a spout on the moveable member defining a first opening centered along a spout axis;
- an edge defining a second opening in the moveable member, wherein the second opening does not intersect the spout axis;
- and
- wherein the fluid dispenser is connected to a fluid containing bottle adjacent a bottle opening and configured to dispense a measured amount of fluid therefrom, wherein the measured amount of fluid dispensed from the bottle is dependent on the internal volume.

A fluid dispenser comprising:
- a housing first portion adapted to be coupled with a container filled with fluid;
- a moveable fluid measuring and dispensing member at least partially received within the housing first portion, wherein the fluid measuring and dispensing member is adapted to fluidly communicate with the container to measure fluid to be dispensed therefrom;
- wherein the fluid measuring and dispensing member moves between a closed first position and an open second position and the amount of fluid dispensed depends on the size of the fluid measuring and dispensing member.
A method comprising the steps of:
- moving a fluid measuring and dispensing member defining an internal volume from a closed first position to an open second position within a housing attached to a fluid filled container;
- inverting the container to effect fluid movement into the internal volume via gravitational force;
- moving the fluid measuring member and dispensing member from the open second position back to the closed position to retain an amount of fluid inside the internal volume;
- and
- reverting the container to an upright position.
