MIXING AND DISPENSING DEVICE

摘要

A device for mixing and dispensing fluids has first and second walls that form a chamber connected to a nozzle. Inlets each configured to receive one fluid are arranged in the first wall. Proximate edges of the inlets are an equal distance from a central point on the first wall. A seal having top and bottom surfaces and a center through hole is positioned in the chamber. The center hole is substantially aligned with the central point. A surface area of the top surface is greater than a sum of the sectional areas of the inlets. A dispensing pump moves the seal between a sealed position in which the bottom surface seals the inlets and an open position in which the bottom surface is spaced away from the inlets to open the inlets to draw the fluids into the chamber to form the mixture for dispensing through the nozzle.

主权项

1. A device for dispensing a mixture of at least two fluids contained in at least two containers, comprising:
a body comprising first and second walls that form a chamber that is connected to a nozzle; at least two spaced-apart inlets to the chamber arranged in an array in the first wall of the body such that proximate edges of the at least two inlets are an equal distance from a generally central point on the first wall, each of the inlets having a sectional area, and each of the inlets being configured to receive the fluid from one of the at least two containers; a seal positioned in the chamber adjacent to the first wall, wherein the seal has a top surface, a bottom surface, and a center through hole substantially aligned with the central point; wherein a surface area of the top surface is greater than a sum of the sectional areas of the at least two inlets; wherein the seal is moveable between a sealed position in which the bottom surface seals the at least two inlets and an open position in which the bottom surface is spaced away from the at least two inlets to open the inlets to the chamber through the hole; and a dispensing pump that is operable to move the seal between the sealed and the open positions; wherein the nozzle is configured to dispense the mixture upon activation.
