Abstract
A liquid apportionment device having a distribution chamber located within a dispensing chamber, the distribution chamber being mounted onto a pedestal member such that a dispensing channel is defined between the sloping wall of the pedestal and the wall of the dispensing chamber. Dispensing spouts are evenly positioned around the dispensing channel for dispersal of the liquid into individual containers. Three rows of evenly spaced distribution apertures are provided in the distribution chamber, with the top row of distribution apertures oriented horizontally, the middle row of distribution apertures being oriented at 45 degrees, and the bottom row of distribution apertures being oriented vertically.
Claims20
A liquid apportionment device comprising:
- a distribution chamber received within a dispensing chamber, said distribution chamber comprising a wall, a sloped bottom, and a transition junction connecting said wall to said bottom, said distribution chamber further comprising three rows of evenly spaced distribution apertures, a top row disposed in said distribution chamber wall, a middle row disposed in said transition junction, and a bottom row disposed in said bottom;
- said dispensing chamber comprising a pedestal and an outer wall, said pedestal having a sloping wall, the combination of said pedestal sloping wall and said dispensing chamber outer wall forming an annular dispensing channel, wherein said distribution chamber is positioned on said pedestal, said dispensing chamber further comprising evenly spaced dispensing spouts extending through said dispensing channel;
- whereby a liquid poured into said distribution chamber is evenly distributed through said distribution apertures into said dispensing channel and then evenly dispersed through said dispensing spouts.
A liquid apportionment device comprising:
- a distribution chamber received within a dispensing chamber, said distribution chamber comprising a wall, a sloped bottom, and a transition junction connecting said wall to said bottom, said distribution chamber further comprising three rows of evenly spaced distribution apertures, a top row disposed in said distribution chamber wall, a middle row disposed in said transition junction, and a bottom row disposed in said bottom;
- wherein said top row, said middle row and said bottom row of said distribution apertures each contains an equal number of distribution apertures, and wherein said distribution apertures of said top row are oriented such that liquid is distributed into said dispensing channel horizontally, said distribution apertures of said bottom row are oriented such that liquid is distributed into said dispensing channel vertically, and said distribution apertures of said middle row are oriented such that liquid is distributed into said dispensing channel at an angle of 45 degrees
- said dispensing chamber comprising a pedestal and an outer wall, said pedestal having a sloping wall, the combination of said pedestal sloping wall and said dispensing chamber outer wall forming an annular dispensing channel, wherein said distribution chamber is positioned on said pedestal, said dispensing chamber further comprising evenly spaced dispensing spouts extending through said dispensing channel;
- wherein the underside of said dispensing channel comprises an annular supporting flange and said dispensing spouts extend through said supporting flange;
- whereby a liquid poured into said distribution chamber is evenly distributed through said distribution apertures into said dispensing channel and then evenly dispersed through said dispensing spouts.
A liquid apportionment device comprising:
- a distribution chamber received within a dispensing chamber, said distribution chamber comprising a wall, a sloped bottom, and a transition junction connecting said wall to said bottom, said distribution chamber further comprising three rows of evenly spaced distribution apertures, a top row disposed in said distribution chamber wall, a middle row disposed in said transition junction, and a bottom row disposed in said bottom;
- wherein said top row, said middle row and said bottom row of said distribution apertures each contains an equal number of distribution apertures, and wherein said distribution apertures of said top row are oriented such that liquid is distributed into said dispensing channel horizontally, said distribution apertures of said bottom row are oriented such that liquid is distributed into said dispensing channel vertically, and said distribution apertures of said middle row are oriented such that liquid is distributed into said dispensing channel at an angle of 45 degrees
- said dispensing chamber comprising a pedestal and an inwardly sloping outer wall, said pedestal having a sloping wall, the combination of said pedestal sloping wall and said dispensing chamber outer wall forming an annular dispensing channel, wherein said distribution chamber is removably positioned on said pedestal, said dispensing chamber further comprising evenly spaced dispensing spouts extending through said dispensing channel;
- wherein the underside of said dispensing channel comprises an annular supporting flange and said dispensing spouts extend through said supporting flange;
- a dispersion plate mounted within said distribution chamber, said dispersion plate comprising openings allowing passage of liquid therethrough;
- whereby a liquid poured into said distribution chamber is evenly distributed through said distribution apertures into said dispensing channel and then evenly dispersed through said dispensing spouts.
