Apparatus and method for dissolving and dispensing soluble compounds

摘要

A method and dispensing apparatus for dispensing a soluble compound into a liquid stream. The dispensing apparatus includes a base having an inlet end and an outlet end with a throughbore connecting said inlet end to said outlet end. The throughbore is of generally constant diameter and unobstructed. A container for housing the soluble compound includes an opening. The container is removably secured to the base by a threaded connection. The base includes inlet and outlet connectors to couple the inlet end of the throughbore to a conduit connected to a liquid source and the outlet end of the throughbore to a lawn sprinkler. The base has an entrance orifice and an exit orifice between the throughbore and the secured container. A stake is adapted to be attached to the base member to secure the apparatus to the ground. The entrance orifice is smaller in diameter than the exit orifice and is typically located upstream of the exit orifice.
