Claim Text:
1. An apparatus for dispensing and regulating a fluid substance from a first storage reservoir to a second storage reservoir, comprising: a) a main housing, comprising an upper housing portion and a lower housing portion; b) a fluid inlet passage configured to be connected to a source of fluid substance from said first reservoir present at said upper portion of said main housing; c) a fluid exit passage through which said fluid substance exits said apparatus; d) a bore housing attached to said main housing and disposed between said fluid inlet passage and said fluid exit, said bore housing comprising a bore; e) a central tower having a proximal end, a distal end, an outer wall, and a length dimension, said central tower being centrally-disposed on said bore housing at said proximal end, said central tower further comprising a passage extending therethrough that runs parallel to said length dimension, said passage of said central tower having a proximal end and a distal end, and at least one port passing through said outer wall in fluid communication with said passage of said central tower; f) a tilt valve having a head and a shank, said shank having a first end proximal to said head, and a second end distal thereto, said head being sealingly engaged over said proximal end of said passage of said central tower; g) a needle valve disposed over said distal end of said central tower, said needle valve having a length dimension that runs parallel to said length dimension of said central tower; h) a piston slidably disposed within said bore of said bore housing, said piston having an interior volume, a top portion and a bottom portion, said top portion of said piston comprising an orifice centrally-located therethrough, said orifice being dimensioned sufficiently to enable said needle valve to pass therethrough; i) a dispensing lever pivotally connected to said main housing; j) an actuator lever having a first end and a second end, wherein said first end of said actuator lever is pivotally connected to said dispensing lever and wherein said second end of said actuator lever is in mechanical contact with said second end of said shank of said tilt valve.
