Gravity feed fluid dispensing valve cap

摘要

The present invention is directed to a dispensing valve cap (16) for use with a bottle (14,60) containing fluid for dispensing the fluid in a gravity feed fluid dispensing system, the valve cap having: a first valve part (40) mountable to the bottle, the first valve part including a fluid outlet and an air inlet; a second valve part (50) rotatably mounted to the first valve part, the second valve part including a mating portion adapted to cooperate with the first valve part to close the air inlet and the fluid outlet of the first valve part; a snap arrangement between the second valve part and the first valve part for locking the second valve part and first valve part from longitudinal movement; and an orifice insert member (54) including a fluid control aperture having a predetermined size for the fluid to be dispensed from the bottle, the fluid control aperture positioned to communicate with the fluid outlets of the second valve part and the first valve part during fluid dispensing, the orifice insert member (54) trapped between the snapped together second valve part (50) and first valve part (40). <IMAGE>
