Abstract:
1. A delivery system having a dispensing cap for attaching to a container, said dispensing cap comprising: (a) a dispensing chamber having an interior compartment for holding an ingredient to be dispensed into the container and having a top end and a lower end, wherein the top end of said dispensing chamber has a flexible diaphragm and an actuator button disposed on said flexible diaphragm; and wherein the lower end of said dispensing chamber is connected to a cone-shaped member; (b) said dispensing chamber including a threaded bottle cap for attaching said dispensing cap to the container, said threaded bottle cap being disposed around the outer wall of said dispensing chamber so that at least two thirds of the length of said dispensing chamber is disposed below said threaded bottle cap, and in the container; (c) a movable vertical shaft having a top end fixedly attached to said diaphragm and a bottom tip at the bottom end of said vertical shaft, such that said actuator button and said shaft are axially aligned, said shaft further including four substantially rectangular shaped vanes having a lower end which has a v-shaped tip which engages and pushes said cone-shaped member; and (d) said flexible diaphragm being movable downwardly from an ingredient holding position to an ingredient dispensing position by pushing both of said actuator button and said vertical shaft downwardly to engage and push said cone-shaped member which thereby causes the v-shaped tip of said movable shaft to apply pressure to said cone-shaped member, and thereby causing the entire cone-shaped member to move from a closed position to an open position, and thereby form a dispensing opening in the interior compartment of said dispensing chamber so that the ingredient held within the compartment of said dispensing chamber completely passes through said dispensing opening and into the container.
