Dispensing systems for delivering a product from the inside of a container to a receptacle, cup, or container include valve systems and other dispensing configurations to reduce mess, parts, and costs associated with such dispensing systems.

The present invention is a fluid dispensing apparatus, and method of use, e.g. for mouthwash and medicine, for dispensing a sterile liquid in single doses to prevent bacterial growth from un-used portions pored back into the apparatus. The apparatus has a hollow flexible cap enclosure surrounding a one-way valve inside of a bladder and a push rubber surface for liquid release. When the cap is removed, both the container body and the cap remain sealed from exposure to contaminates. Liquid is first dispensed from the container by inverting the container until a quantity of sterile liquid collects in the cap. The container is then positioned in an upright position and the fluid filled cap is removed from the container. The cap is then inverted again and a pushbutton pressed to dispense sterile liquid from a cap spray nozzle without requiring the user's lips to touch the cap.

The present invention provides a multi-purpose container configured to retain granulate material for short- or long-term use. Furthermore, the present invention will provide various rates of flow to access the granulate material at a rate suitable for the user. This is accomplished through a container body, a removable cap, and a measuring cup. The removable cap further comprises a plurality of spouts and is configured to removably attach to the container body, while the measuring cup is configured to removably attach to the removable cap. These components work in conjunction to form a multi-purpose container configured to facilitate the pouring of the material held within the container body at a desired flow rate.

A metering and pouring device is disclosed for flowable substances. A container, such as a plastic container, also is provided with such a metering and pouring device.

A cup collar for a cup or other beverage container to allow milk or cream, an additional flavoring, sugar or sweetener, or any other additive to be added to a beverage such as coffee or tea without having to pour out and waste the coffee or tea or other beverage to make room for the additive. The cup collar avoids wasting coffee or tea or other beverage and conserves water.

A liquid bottle or container, such as for liquid detergent, and corresponding cap and cup is disclosed for operation in a horizontal position with the cap and cup side wall substantially parallel to the ground, the cap and cup shape providing a built-in drip collector cavity positioned around a portion of the circumference or perimeter of the cap and cup rim on the open end of the cap. The cap and cup may be used to cover a nozzle or other valve dispenser during storage. The drip collector cavity has a volume sufficient to collect liquid residue remaining after normal use of the cap as a measuring and dispensing cup, and any post-use drops from the dispenser nozzle. Thus, the cap and cup of the present disclosure is dripless or nearly drip less. In an embodiment, at least a portion of the cap rim perimeter around which no built-in drip collector cavity is positioned is shaped as a pouring spout. In another embodiment, the area of the liquid container body which receives the cap is shaped to have an indent to accept the pouring spout, thus acting as an orientation key. In yet another embodiment, the drip collector cavity includes one or more radial partitions providing additional rigidity and support to the rim. In another alternative embodiment, the cap and cup shape provides a built-in drip collector cavity at the closed end of the cap. The side wall along the lowest elevation has a negative slope such that when the cap and cup is in the generally horizontal storage position covering the nozzle dispenser, the lowest point of elevation of the rim of the cap and cup is a higher elevation than the lowest point of elevation of the closed end of the cap and cup, thus resulting in collection of liquid residue at and/or near the closed end of the cap and cup.
