Claims20
A dosing dispenser for dosing a liquid into a syringe comprising
- a body portion including a top wall formed to include an opening, the body portion adapted to mate with a discharge outlet formed on a container, and an annular side wall appended to the top wall and arranged to extend downwardly and away from the top wall and to cooperate with the top wall to form an interior region,
- a valve assembly configured to be inserted into and positioned within the opening of the top wall, the valve assembly including a syringe receiver and a valve formed to include a slit and first and second flexible side walls, first and second flexible side walls of valve are adapted to bias the slit to a closed position to form a seal to prevent the flow of liquid, and
- wherein insertion of a portion of the syringe into the syringe receiver causes the slit to move from the closed position to an opened position to permit the flow of liquid from the container and into the syringe and removal of the syringe from the syringe receiver causes the slit to return to the closed position to prevent the further release of liquid from the container.
