Pediatric dosing dispenser
First Claim
1. A dosing dispenser for dosing a liquid into a syringe comprisinga body portion including a top wall formed to include a syringe receiver, the body portion adapted to mate with a discharge outlet formed on a container, and an annular side wall appended to the top wall and arranged to extend downwardly and away from the top wall and to cooperate with the top wall to form an interior region, anda valve assembly positioned within the interior region of the body portion, the valve assembly including a valve with a dome-shaped surface and a biasing member coupled to the valve, the biasing member configured to bias the valve to a closed position to seal the syringe receiver to prevent the flow of liquid,wherein insertion of a portion of the syringe into the syringe receiver causes the valve to move from the closed position to an opened position to permit the flow of liquid from the container and into the syringe and removal of the syringe from the syringe receiver causes the valve to return to the closed position to prevent the further release of liquid from the container,wherein the dome-shaped surface of the valve seals the syringe receiver.
