Dripless multi-vessel fluid dispenser

摘要

Apparatus for dispensing fluids to a plurality of receptacles simultaneously, equally, and without dripping. A distributing device is used that uses a major-minor channel configuration such that all major channels fill with fluid before the minor channels fill and all minor channels fill before water exits the outlet holes in the bottom of the distributor. A stand is included which supports the fluid to be distributed and which is designed to exactly center common communion trays beneath the distributor for filing. A stretchable transfer tube connects the fluid in the container with the distributor and, when pinched shut, causes fluid to be sucked back up the tube and which in conjunction with the pipette action of the outlet holes prevents drippage after filling. The distributor is round for filing communion cups but may be made in an infinite variety of shapes, all incorporating the major-minor channel configuration, such as rectangular for use in filling a plurality of restaurant glasses or watering trays of plants.
