Apparatus and method for dispensing fluids into an air intake

An apparatus for dispensing fluids into an air line, comprising:

• a container having a means for valving so as to selectively open the container to allow flow of fluids therefrom, the container being formed on an upwardly-facing surface with a circumferential channel having an upwardly-opening depression formed along a portion thereof, the container being further formed with a first means for engaging;
• and
• a cap having a second means for engaging configured to engage the first engaging means so as to rotatably mount the cap onto the container, the cap being formed with a longitudinally-projecting conical nozzle having a plurality of apertures in fluid communication with the valving means, the cap being configured with a downwardly-projecting post configured to project into the channel when the cap is rotatably mounted onto the container, whereby rotation of the cap upon the container in a first rotational direction selectively engages the post with the channel so as to prevent axial movement of the cap relative to the container, and whereby rotation of the cap upon the container in an opposite second rotational direction selectively positions the post within the channel adjacent to the depression so as to allow axial movement of the cap toward the container, the cap being further configured with a means for actuating the valving means when the cap is moved axially toward the container.

An apparatus for dispensing fluids into an air line, comprising:

• a container;
• a conical nozzle in selective fluid communication with the container, the nozzle having a conical wall defining an outer conical surface and an inner conical surface, the conical wall being formed with a plurality of apertures so as to communicate between the outer conical surface and the inner conical surface, the nozzle being further formed on its outer conical surface with a spiral thread;
• and
• a means for valving the container mounted between the container and the nozzle so as to selectively control the flow of fluids from the container to the nozzle.
