Description of the Preferred Embodiment
For the purposes of promoting an understanding of the present invention, reference will now be made to the embodiments illustrated in the drawings and specific language will be used to describe the same. It is nevertheless to be understood that no limitation of the scope of the invention is thereby intended, the proper scope of the invention being indicated by the claims appended below and the equivalents thereof.
Referring in particular to Fig. 1, there is illustrated one embodiment of a dispensing apparatus in accordance with the present invention, indicated generally by reference numeral 10.
Dispensing apparatus 10 is particularly adapted for dispensing discrete measured amounts of a fluent material. A dispenser body 11 is provided which defines therein a horizontal cylindrical chamber 12. Cylindrical chamber 12 of Fig. 1 is rectangular in cross section, although it could also be of any other suitable polygonal cross section in this embodiment, or of circular cross section. Dispenser body 11 also defines an inlet port 13 communicating with the top of cylindrical chamber 12, and an outlet port 14 communicating with the bottom of cylindrical chamber 12. Inlet port 13 and outlet port 14 are offset with respect to each other along the length of cylindrical chamber 12.
A reservoir 17 for holding a fluent material is disposed in communication with inlet port 13 such that fluent material can flow by gravity from reservoir 17 through inlet port 13.
A piston 15 is disposed within cylindrical chamber 12 and is configured for reciprocal linear displacement therein, as shown by arrow 16. As illustrated, piston 15 is generally a cylindrical solid of like cross section as cylindrical chamber 12, and is configured in tight fitting sliding engagement therewith. Piston 15 defines therethrough a plurality of vertical open-ended cylindrical measuring holes 20, 21, 22, 23 and 24. Each of the cylindrical measuring holes 20-24 are of circular cross section, but they could also be of polygonal cross section, if desired. Piston 15 need not be substantially solid, it being of prime importance only that the ends of each of the cylindrical measuring holes 20-24 and the portion of piston 15 located between the ends of adjacent cylindrical measuring holes be configured in tight fitting sliding engagement with the horizontal cylindrical chamber 12.
Because of the tight fitting relationship, each of the vertical cylindrical measuring holes 20-24 in cooperation with cylindrical chamber 12 defines a measuring space therein. Each of the measuring spaces so defined is of a desired volume as determined by the size and configuration of the cylindrical measuring hole and the cylindrical chamber.
Cylindrical measuring holes 20-24 and inlet port 13 and outlet port 14 are spaced with respect to each other such that each cylindrical measuring hole 20-24 alternately communicates with inlet port 13 and outlet port 14 as piston 15 is displaced linearly. It is important that the spacing be such that no cylindrical measuring hole can communicate with inlet port 13 and outlet port 14 at the same time.
To dispense discrete measured amounts of fluent material from reservoir 17, piston 15 is first drawn to the left until at least one of of the cylindrical measuring holes is aligned with and in communication with inlet port 13, whereupon fluent material flows from reservoir 17 into the cylindrical measuring hole, filling it.
Piston 15 is then moved to the right until at least one of the filled cylindrical measuring holes is aligned with and in communication with outlet port 14, whereupon a discrete measured amount of fluent material is dispensed through outlet port 14. The above described procedure can be repeated to effect multiple dispensings. It will be readily appreciated that a plurality of dispensings of measured amounts of fluent material can be dispensed per each reciprocation of piston 15 by regulating the linear displacement of piston 15 by a suitable displacement regulating means
18 so that a selected number of adjacent cylindrical measuring holes are filled and dispensed. Of course, it doesn't matter how many holes are filled as the piston is drawn to the left, so long as the number exceeds the number of holes desired to be dispensed thereafter as piston 15 is moved to the right.
It will also be readily appreciated that cylindrical measuring holes 20-24 need not be of like volume. A particularly useful embodiment results if the cumulative running sum of the volumes of adjacent measuring holes corresponds to a preselected series of standard measured volumes. For example, the volume of the measuring space defined by hole 20 could be one teaspoon. The volume of hole 21 could be one tablespoon less one teaspoon. Hole 22 could then have a volume of
1/4 cup less one tablespoon less one teaspoon. Thus, if one hole is dispensed (hole 20), the measured volume would be one teaspoon. If two holes are dispensed (holes 20 and 21), the measured volume would be one tablespoon. If three holes are dispensed (holes 20, 21 and 22), the measured volume would be 1/4 cup.Such a series could be continued as desired, limited only by the number of holes and volumes thereof which could be accommodated within the desired length and diameter of the cylindrical chamber.
Another embodiment is illustrated in Fig. 2, wherein a dispensing apparatus 25 includes two sets of cylindrical measuring holes defined by one piston 26. A first set of holes 27, 28 and 29 are interspaced with and oriented at right angles to a second set of holes 30, 31 and 32. Each set of holes could represent a different series of standard measured volumes, or all holes in one set could be of like volume, as desired. Switching between each set of holes is accomplished by rotating piston 26 to bring the desired set of holes into vertical orientation. Piston 26 and the horizontal cylindrical chamber into which it is disposed must be configured to accommodate rotation of piston 26, which can be accomplished most easily by making each of circular cross section.
A further embodiment of the present invention is illustrated in Fig. 3. Dispensing apparatus 35 is generally similar to apparatus 25 of
Fig. 2, except that the inlet port 36 and the outlet port 37 are located radially opposite each other with respect to horizontal cylindrical chamber 38 which is of circular cross section. Piston 39, which is of circular cross section, is disposed within cylindrical chamber 38 and is configured for rotational and linear displacement therein. Piston 39 defines therein a plurality of cylindrical measuring holes 40, 41 and 42, each hole having one end open and configured in tight fitting sliding engagement with cylindrical chamber 38, and the other end closed.
In this embodiment fluent material is dispensed by aligning the open end of one of holes 40-42 in communication with the inlet port 36 so that the fluent material can flow in through inlet port 36 and fill the hole in question. The piston is then rotated so as to bring the open end of the filled hole into alignment and communication with the outlet port 37 so that the fluent material in the hole can flow out through outlet port 37. Each of the holes 40-42 can be of different volumes, with each selectable by regulating the linear displacement of piston 39 by displacement regulating means 43 to bring the desired hole into registration with the inlet port 36.
While the preferred embodiments of the invention have been illustrated and described in some detail in the drawings and foregoing description, it is to be understood that this description is made only by way of example to set forth the best mode contemplated of carrying out the invention and not as a limitation to the scope of the invention which is pointed out in the claims below.
