Abstract
A liquid dispensing system comprises a container containing at least one flexible bag. A first liquid is contained in the bag. A manifold chamber is in communication with the bag via a first metering orifice, and with the interior of the container via a second metering orifice. A second liquid is introduced under pressure into the container. The thus introduced second liquid serves to pressurize the first liquid in the bag, with the first and second metering orifices serving to respectively admit metered amounts of the first and second liquids into the manifold chamber for combination into a liquid mixture dispensed through an outlet.
Claims7
A liquid dispensing system comprising:
- a container;
- at least one flexible bag in said container;
- a first liquid contained in said bag;
- a manifold chamber having an outlet, said manifold chamber being in communication with said bag via a first metering orifice, and being in communication with an interior of said container via a second metering orifice;
- and
- supply means for introducing a second liquid under pressure into said container, said second liquid serving to collapse said bag and expel the first liquid contained therein into said manifold chamber via said first metering orifice, and to exit the interior of said container into said manifold chamber via said second metering orifice for combination with the expelled first liquid to provide a liquid mixture dispensed through said outlet.
A liquid dispensing system comprising:
- a container having an open top;
- a plurality of flexible bags received in said container via said open top;
- first liquid components contained in said bags;
- a cap closing said open top, said cap defining a manifold chamber having an outlet, said manifold chamber being in communication with said bags via first metering orifices, and being in communication with an interior of said container via a second metering orifice;
- and
- supply means for introducing a second liquid component at a substantially constant pressure into said container, said second liquid component serving to collapse said bags and expel the first liquid components contained therein into said manifold chamber via said first metering orifices, and to exit the interior of said container into said manifold chamber via said second metering orifice for combination with the expelled first liquid components to provide a liquid mixture dispensed from said manifold chamber through said outlet.
