Device for concurrent delivery of measured quantities of at least two liquids
First Claim
1. A dispensing measure for substantially concurrent delivery of measured quantities of at least two different liquids from associated containers, the measure comprising:
- a head part having separate engagement means for engagement with the necks of adjacent containers, each engagement means having a liquid inlet closable by a liquid inlet valve means;
a measuring receiving bowl associated with each liquid inlet, each measuring receiving bowl having an air passageway closable by an air valve means, and a liquid outlet closable by a liquid valve outlet means; and
actuating means for simultaneously operating the outlet valve means to deliver measured quantities of liquids from at least two of the measuring receiving bowls.the liquid outlets being arranged for substantially direct delivery of separate divergent streams of the liquids from the measuring receiving bowls into a receptacle without mixing to provide a layered effect in the receptacle with one liquid layer lying on top of the second liquid layer.

Abstract
A measure for dispensing measured quantities of two liquors from a pair of bottles has a pair of measuring and receiving bowls associated with the bottles. Sleeves engage within necks of the bottles for delivery of liquid from each bottle to an associated bowl. Valve members in each bowl have normally open inlet liquid seals which cooperate with the sleeves to control filling of the bowls. Outlet liquid seals on the valve members normally close liquid outlets of the bowls. An actuating lever is operable to raise the valve members, moving the seals upwardly for opening the outlets and closing the inlets of the bowls. Thus, liquid measures flow from the bowls substantially concurrently into a glass or the like placed below the liquid outlets. The outlets are arranged to direct the two liquids to opposite sides of the glass so that the liquids remain separated within the glass. Release of the actuating lever drops the valve members closing the liquid outlets and opening the inlets for recharging the bowls.
