Abstract
An apparatus for dispensing fluids from a bottle comprising a housing having a bore extending through the housing and a connector for releasably securing the housing to the mouth of a bottle containing fluid. A spool received within the bore of the housing is selectively positionable in a first, closed position and in a second, open position. The spool is provided with passageways therethrough for passage of air and the housing is provided with an inlet port, spout, and an annular groove for passage of fluids therethrough. In the second, open position fluid flows through the passageways and the annular groove of the spool out of bottle, and air flows through the passageways and the annular recess of the bore into the bottle.
Claims27
An apparatus for dispensing fluids from a bottle comprising:
- a housing having an axially extending bore therethrough and means for releasably closing a bottle containing a fluid therein;
- a cylindrical spool slidably received within the axially extending bore of said housing and selectively positionable in a first closed position or a second open position;
- means biasing said spool toward said first closed position;
- an annular groove in said spool;
- an inlet port through the wall of said housing contained within the bottle and continuous with the axially extending bore;
- a spout through the wall of said housing outside of the bottle and continuous with the axially extending bore;
- a first passageway having a first opening at the first end of said spool and a second opening in the side wall of said spool;
- a second passageway having a first opening at the second end of said spool and a second opening in the side wall of said spool in close proximity to the second opening of said first passageway;
- and
- an annular recess in the axially extending bore through said housing whereby said first and second passageways and the annular recess are continuous and the inlet port, spout and annular groove are continuous when said spool is in said second open position.

- and
- an annular recess in the axially extending bore through said housing whereby said first and second passageways and the annular recess are continuous and the inlet port, spout, and annular groove are continuous when said spool is in said second open position.
