Abstract
Systems for measuring an ingredient are provided consisting of dispensing caps attached to ingredient containers configured to receive the ingredient in a known volume and dispense the known volume.
Claims20
A system for measuring an ingredient comprising:
- a dispensing cap comprising a flexible silicone thread configured to screw onto a threaded bottle;
- the dispensing cap further comprising a first section of a known volume configured to receive the ingredient in the known volume from the threaded bottle when a user inverts the threaded bottle;
- the dispensing cap further comprising a closure configured to prevent fluid communication between the section and the threaded bottle when the closure is engaged by the user;
- and
- the dispensing cap further comprising a dispenser configured to provide fluid communication between the section and an outside space when the dispenser is engaged by the user and the dispenser further configured for a user to pour the ingredient out of the section into the outside space.

A system for measuring an ingredient comprising:
- a cap comprising a flexible silicone thread configured to screw onto a threaded bottle, a shaft, and a slit;
- a rotatable filling section attached to the cap and configured to rotate to block the slit and prevent fluid communication between the threaded bottle and a dispensable volume or to expose the slit and allow fluid communication between the threaded bottle and the dispensable volume,
- a volume selector inserted into the radial volume and rotatably attached to the shaft, wherein the volume selector rotates to be adjacent a first end of the portion of the radial space to provide a largest dispensable volume and the volume selector rotates to be adjacent a second end of the portion of the radial space to provide a smallest measurable volume, and wherein the dispensable volume is any volume between and including the largest dispensable volume and the smallest dispensable volume;
- and
- a lid configured to cover the dispensable volume;
- wherein a user rotates the rotatable filling section such that the threaded bottle is in fluid communication with the dispensable volume, the user further rotates the volume selector to a desired dispensable volume, and the user inverts the threaded bottle and cap such that the ingredient pours into the desired dispensable volume;
- and
- wherein the user rotates the rotatable filling section such that the threaded bottle and the dispensable volume are not in fluid communication, and the user removes or rotates the lid to dispense the ingredient from the desired dispensable volume to an outside space.

A system for measuring an ingredient comprising:
- a dispensing cap configured to attach to an ingredient container;
- the dispensing cap comprising a first section of a known volume configured to receive the ingredient in the known volume from the bottle;
- the dispensing cap further comprising a closure configured to prevent fluid communication between the section and the ingredient container when the closure is engaged by the user;
- and
- the dispensing cap further comprising a dispenser configured to provide fluid communication between the section and an outside space when the dispenser is engaged by the user and the dispenser further configured for a user to pour the ingredient out of the section into the outside space.
