Abstract
An adjustable measured fluid dispenser is provided for dispensing a fluid from a storage container. The adjustable measured fluid dispenser includes a measurement cap having multiple divided fillable volumes with different volumes, a tube, and a redirecting cap. The redirecting cap includes a redirecting structure for directing fluid received from the storage container via the tube into one of the fillable volumes. The redirecting cap is positionable relative to the measurement cap, such that the redirecting cap may be used to select one of the fillable volumes and to direct fluid from the tube into the selected volume.
Claims20
An adjustable measured fluid dispenser for dispensing fluid from a storage chamber of a storage container via a neck of the storage container, the fluid dispenser comprising:
- a measurement cap including:
- a measurement chamber including multiple divided fillable volumes separated by a dividing wall, wherein:
- each of the fillable volumes are separated from the other fillable volumes by the dividing wall;
- and
- each of the fillable volumes have a specific volume capacity, such that filling the fillable volume to capacity with the dispensed fluid results in the fillable volume holding an amount of the dispensed fluid matching the specific volume capacity of the fillable volume;
- an interlocking structure configured to engage with the neck of the storage container to maintain a position of the measurement cap relative to the storage container;
- and
- a channel extending through the measurement cap;
- a redirecting cap including:
- a redirecting structure configured to direct the dispensed fluid from the storage chamber into a selected volume of the fillable volumes;
- and
- an engaging structure configured to mate with a mating structure of the measurement cap such that:
- the engaging structure maintains a position of the redirecting cap relative to the measurement cap;
- and
- a position of the redirecting cap relative to the fillable volumes of the measurement cap selects one of the fillable volumes as the selected volume;
- and
- a tube extending through the channel of the measurement cap, such that when the interlocking structure is engaged with the neck of the storage container and when the engaging structure is mated with the measurement cap:
- the redirecting structure of the redirecting cap is fluidly coupled with a lumen of the tube;
- and
- the position of the redirecting cap selects the selected volume by fluidly coupling the selected fillable volume with the storage container via the lumen of the tube and the redirecting structure of the redirecting cap.

- a measurement cap including:
- a measurement chamber including multiple divided fillable volumes separated by a dividing wall, wherein:
- each of the fillable volumes are separated from the other fillable volumes by the dividing wall;
- and
- each of the fillable volumes have a specific volume capacity, such that filling the fillable volume to capacity with the dispensed liquid medicine results in the fillable volume holding an amount of the dispensed liquid medicine matching the specific volume capacity of the fillable volume;
- an interlocking structure configured to engage with the neck of the liquid medicine bottle to maintain a position of the measurement cap relative to the liquid medicine bottle;
- and
- a channel extending through the measurement cap;
- a redirecting cap including:
- a redirecting structure configured to direct the dispensed liquid medicine from the storage chamber into a selected volume of the fillable volumes;
- and
- an engaging structure configured to mate with a mating structure of the measurement cap such that:
- the engaging structure maintains a position of the redirecting cap relative to the measurement cap;
- and
- a position of the redirecting cap relative to fillable volumes of the measurement cap selects one of the fillable volumes as the selected volume;
- and
- a tube extending through the channel of the measurement cap, such that when the interlocking structure is engaged with the neck of the liquid medicine bottle and when the engaging structure is mated with the measurement cap:
- the redirecting structure of the redirecting cap is fluidly coupled with a lumen of the tube;
- and
- the position of the redirecting cap selects the selected volume by fluidly coupling the selected fillable volume with the liquid medicine bottle via the lumen of the tube and the redirecting structure of the redirecting cap.
