Flexible liquid feeding assembly

Abstract

A flexible liquid feeding assembly as an add-on device for use with liquid dispensing bottles is disclosed. The flexible liquid feeding assembly contains a flexible tube and a weight feeder for feeding liquid into a liquid dispenser of a liquid dispensing bottle. The flexible tube has a high degree of flexibility, and the weight feeder has a sufficient weight. Such structural features enable the weight feeder to move in the same direction of liquid's movement in the dispensing bottle. Therefore, the flexible liquid feeding assembly provides a continuous liquid supply regardless the bottle's orientations, even when the bottle is in an inverted position. Alternatively, a weight blocker can be used in conjunction with liquid feeding holes on the side of flexible tube. A liquid dispensing bottle containing a flexible liquid feeding assembly is also disclosed. The flexible tube is sufficiently long that the weight feeder or weight blocker can reach and be in contact with bottom and side walls of the container, and be in contact with a connector of the liquid dispenser when the bottle is inverted, so that the bottle enables to dispense liquid when the bottle is in an inverted position.
