Adjustable dosing dispensers and methods for using the same

Embodiments of the invention relate to dosing dispensers and in particular to dosing dispensers that may be operated using one hand by raising and filling a dosing chamber followed by lowering and dispersing a product from the dosing chamber and wherein the dose may be selected or adjusted and a user may visually confirm that the proper dose is being loaded and delivered by the dispenser.

FLUID DISPENSING APPARATUS AND METHOD

A fluid dispenser including a body, a chamber coupled to or formed as part of the body and configured to contain a quantity of fluid, and a piston coupled to the body and rotatable within the chamber to different position. The piston is movable relative to the chamber in a first direction along an axis to draw fluid into the chamber, and the piston is movable relative to the chamber in a second direction opposite the first direction to discharge fluid from the chamber. The piston has stroke lengths that are selectable via the different rotational positions of the piston and that are associated with metered quantities of fluid to be drawn into the chamber. An anti-reversal feature is disposed between the piston and the body. The anti-reversal feature inhibits reversal of the piston during movement of the piston in the first direction or the second direction.

Dispenser for discharging liquids, and operating method therefor
10661291 · 2020-05-26 · ·

Dispenser with a reservoir for storing liquid, and a discharge opening through which the liquid can be dispensed. The dispenser includes a metering device for discharging a defined liquid quantity upon actuation of the dispenser. The metering device at the entry side is connected to the reservoir and at the exit side is connected to the discharge opening. The metering device includes a pre-metering chamber which via an infeed duct is connected to the reservoir, and a main metering chamber which via an intermediate duct is connected to the pre-metering chamber, and via a discharge duct is connected to the discharge opening. The pre-metering chamber and the main metering chamber each have one repositionable wall, the respective chamber volume being variable by repositioning the wall. The walls are operatively coupled such that a volumetric enlargement of the pre-metering chamber causes a volumetric reduction of the main metering chamber.

The fluid dispenser (1) having a dispensing mechanism (9) for pumping fluid, such as cooking oil, from a storing compartment (2) into a metering compartment (3), and a reflux mechanism (10) for allowing the fluid pumped into the metering compartment (3) to flow back into the storing compartment (2), such that accurate metering of fluid can be achieved.

Fluid dispensing apparatus and method

A fluid dispenser for containing and dispensing metered amounts of fluid that includes a reservoir for containing fluid and a chamber positioned substantially within the reservoir for containing a quantity of the fluid. The fluid dispenser additionally includes a piston that is moveable within the chamber to draw fluid into the chamber when the piston is moved in a first direction with respect to the chamber, and to discharge fluid from the chamber when the piston is moved in a second direction opposite the first direction. Further, the fluid dispenser includes a user-manipulatable control coupled to the piston and rotatable about an axis to select one of at least two different metered quantities of fluid to be dispensed. The user-manipulatable control is further movable to move the piston relative to the chamber along the axis to selectively dispense the selected metered quantity of fluid.
