According to the drawings, there is an inlet pipe 10 in the combined liquid distribution port of the present invention. The inlet tube 10 is mounted to the inlet 3 of the bottle 1. The inlet pipe (10) has an inlet channel (12). The inlet flow path 12 has a circular cross section or an elliptical cross section. The inlet channel 12 is formed in the entire section of the inlet pipe 10, where the liquid contained in the bottle 1 flows.

Although the inlet channel 12 is formed on the entire inlet pipe 10, a stop end 14 is formed on the inside of the inlet channel 12 at a predetermined distance from the end of the inlet pipe 10. The stop 14 serves to regulate the extent to which the inlet 3 of the bottle 1 is received by the inlet 3 of the bottle 1 and into the inlet pipe 10.

A female screw portion 16 is formed on the inner surface of the inlet channel 12 starting from the inlet of the inlet pipe 10 to the portion of the stop terminal 14 formed. The female screw portion 16 is a portion coupled to a male screw portion (not shown) formed at the inlet 3 of the bottle 1. For reference, instead of the female screw portion 16, there may be a hooking jaw. That is, the bottle 1 is not threaded but has a hooking hook (in which the cap 3 is attached to the inlet 3 of the bottle 1 at the time of shipment). In this case, it is necessary to have a constitution to be hooked on the hooking jaw instead of the female threaded portion 16. [

The first outlet pipe 20 and the second outlet pipe 20 'are integrally connected to the inlet pipe 10 by branching at two ends of the inlet pipe 10. The first outlet pipe (20) and the second outlet pipe (20 ') have the same shape. A first outlet passage 22 is formed in the first outlet pipe 20 and a second outlet passage 22 'is formed in the second outlet pipe 20'. The first outlet passage 22 and the second outlet passage 22 'are communicated with the inlet passage 12 so that the liquid discharged from the bottle 1 is divided and flows.

In this embodiment, a first male thread portion 24 and a second male thread portion 24 'are formed in a predetermined section of the outer surface of the end portions of the first outlet pipe 20 and the second outlet pipe 20'. The first male threaded portion 24 and the second male threaded portion 24 'are not necessarily formed. A separate liquid distribution port may be mounted on the first male threaded portion 24 and the second male threaded portion 24 '. That is, when the female threaded portion 16 of the inlet pipe 10 is coupled to the first male threaded portion 24 or the second male threaded portion 24 ', two liquid distribution ports are engaged. Thus, the liquid distributor can be continuously connected in series.

The first outlet pipe (20) and the second outlet pipe (20 ') form a predetermined angle (a) with respect to each other. In the illustrated embodiment, the angle a formed by the first outlet pipe 20 and the second outlet pipe 20 'is a right angle. The angle a formed by the first outlet pipe 20 and the second outlet pipe 20 'is exactly equal to the angle between the first outlet pipe 20 and the second outlet pipe 20 'May correspond to the cup. These angles are larger than approximately 80 degrees and smaller than 100 degrees.

If the angle (a) is less than 80 degrees, the first outlet pipe 20 and the second outlet pipe 20 'do not correspond to the adjacent two cups. If the angle a is greater than 100 degrees, the first outlet passage 22 formed in the first outlet pipe 20 and the second outlet passage 22 'formed in the second outlet pipe 20' So that the liquid is not flowed properly and the distance between the cups becomes too far away to precisely transmit the liquid to the cups.

Of course, the lengths of the first outlet pipe 20 and the second outlet pipe 20 'are also factors related to the angle a. If the length of the outlet pipes 20 and 20 'is long, the angle a may be small. However, if the lengths of the outlet pipes 20 and 20' are made too long, There is a problem of.

The length of the outlet pipe (20, 20 ') may be longer than the length of the inlet pipe (10). This is because the liquid from the bottle 1 flows along the inlet flow path 12 of the inlet pipe 10 and is divided into the first outlet flow path 22 and the second outlet flow path 22 ' This is because the first outlet passage 22 and the second outlet passage 22 'are relatively longer than the inlet passage 12.

In this embodiment, the length of the inlet channel 12 in which the liquid actually flows in the inlet pipe 10 is about 10 mm, and the lengths of the first outlet channel 22 and the second outlet channel 22 'are about 30 mm . That is, the first and second outlet flow paths 22 and 22 'are about three times longer than the inlet flow path 12. When the value of the angle (a) described above is obtained from such a length value, the most optimal dimension is obtained.

5 shows another embodiment of the present invention. In this embodiment, a first male thread portion 24 and a second male thread portion 24 are formed on the outer surfaces of the first outlet pipe 20 and the second outlet pipe 20 ' There is no threaded portion 24 '. However, there is a female threaded portion 16 inside the inlet of the inlet pipe 10 and can be mounted on the inlet 3 of the bottle 1.

In this embodiment, no separate stop end 14 is formed at the end portion of the female screw portion 16. [ In this case, instead of the female screw portion 16, a hook may be formed so that a crown may be mounted on the inlet of the bottle 1.

Hereinafter, the use of the combined liquid distribution port according to the present invention having the above-described configuration will be described in detail.

The liquid dispenser of the present invention is mounted on the inlet 3 of the bottle 1 and used. That is, the female threaded portion 16 of the inlet tube 10 is fastened to the male threaded portion on the outer surface of the inlet 3 of the bottle 1. The inlet 3 of the bottle 1 is in direct communication with the inlet channel 12 of the inlet pipe 10. The first outlet passage 22 and the second outlet passage 22 'communicate with each other and the liquid from the bottle 1 is separated from the inlet passage 12 so that the first outlet passage 22 and the second outlet passage 22' (22 ').

In order to pour the liquid in the bottle 1 into the cup, the bottle 1 equipped with the liquid distribution port is inclined so that the first outlet pipe 20 and the second outlet pipe 20 'are slanted in the gravitational direction do. In this way, the first outlet pipe 20 and the second outlet pipe 20 'extend diagonally toward the ground, and the first outlet passage 22 and the second outlet passage 22' also have a predetermined inclination So that the liquid can smoothly flow. Here, the inclination of the first outlet pipe 20 and the second outlet pipe 20 'with respect to the horizontal plane should be the same. For example, when either the first outlet pipe 20 or the second outlet pipe 20 'is further inclined, the dispensing of liquid can not be accurately performed.

In this way, since the liquid is simultaneously supplied to the two adjacent cups through the first outlet pipe 20 and the second outlet pipe 20 ', the liquid in the bottle 1 can be discharged into the cups .

On the other hand, the flow of liquid through the inlet flow path 12 and the outlet flow paths 22 and 22 'will be briefly described. The inlet flow path 12 and the outlet flow paths 22 and 22 'are not flowed through the entire flow cross-sectional area, but flow about half of the flow cross-sectional area. Then, air can enter the bottle 1 through the remaining flow cross-sectional area. Therefore, the interference with the air entering the inside of the bottle 1 when the liquid comes out from the bottle 1 can be minimized.

When the liquid dispensing opening of the present invention is to be mounted on the bottle 1 for a long period of time, the first outlet tube 20 and the first outlet tube 20 ' And the second male threaded portion 24 ', respectively, as shown in FIG.

In addition, if the lid is attached to the one-side outlet pipes 20 and 20 ', the liquid can be poured into only one cup through the other outlet pipe 20 and 20'. If it is necessary to store the liquid for a long time, It is necessary to obtain one more and attach it to all the outlet pipes 20 and 20 'to seal it.

The description above is merely illustrative of the technical idea of the present invention, and various changes and modifications may be made by those skilled in the art without departing from the essential characteristics of the present invention. Accordingly, the embodiments disclosed in this specification are intended to illustrate and not to limit the technical idea of the present invention, and the scope of the technical idea of the present invention is not limited by these embodiments. The scope of protection of the present invention should be construed according to the following claims, and all technical ideas which are within the scope of the same should be interpreted as being included in the scope of the present invention.
