DOSING SPOUT AND SYSTEM

摘要

A system for inventory control, verification and accounting for liquids dispensed in smaller doses or portions from larger containers. The system has multiple spouts, each of which controls flow of a liquid from a container in predetermined dosage size. Each dosing spout permits flow of liquid through a liquid outlet tube when the angle of the container is changed such as by tilting for pouring. After a predetermined time, the air inlet tube is closed, which terminates flow of the liquid through the liquid outlet tube. Controls and signaling devices operate the dosing spout, and wireless communications devices and processors record uses of the system of dosing spouts.

主权项

1. A system for controlling liquid dosing from a plurality of containers, comprising:
a plurality of spouts, wherein each spout is constructed and arranged for insertion into and removal from an opening of a container; a plurality of wireless transmitters, wherein each of the plurality of wireless transmitters is associated with one of the spouts of the plurality of spouts, and each of the plurality of spouts transmits data about a pouring cycle of the spout of the plurality of spouts with which the wireless transmitter is associated; a computer having a wireless receiver that receives data from the plurality of wireless transmitters about the pouring cycle of each of the spouts; wherein, the computer computes information from data received from the plurality of wireless transmitters and the computer stores the information; wherein, each spout comprises a microprocessor and a real time clock, and wherein each spout transmits data by its associated wireless transmitter to the computer about pour cycles of the spout.
