Patent ID: 7275478

Claim:
A subdividing and filling apparatus for liquid food comprising: a fixed quantity cut-down pump body having an absorption opening in communication with a lower-end opening of a container for accommodating liquid food containing solids therein and a discharge opening for discharging therefrom the liquid food containing solids; an inner cylinder turnably fitted in the fixed quantity cut-down pump body; a piston slidably fitted in the inner cylinder; and a through-hole formed in the inner cylinder, wherein rotation of the inner cylinder and forward/backward movement of the piston are coupled so as the through-hole of the inner cylinder is communicated with the absorption opening of the fixed quantity cut-down pump body, the piston moves back to fill a fixed quantity of liquid food into the inner cylinder, and as the through-hole of the inner cylinder is communicated with the discharge opening of the pump body, the piston advances to discharge liquid food from the discharge opening, and at least one edge of said inner cylinder opposite the rotational direction of said through-hole is formed to be a cutting edge.
