Abstract:
The present invention provides a metering nozzle used with a squeezable bottle for dispensing a fixed amount of fluid from the bottle. A dispensing chamber volume of the metering nozzle may be adjusted to adjust the volume of fluid dispensed from the bottle. The nozzle allows the fixed amount of fluid to be measured and then dispensed without returning into the bottle by utilizing a movable piston, shuttling between the nozzle inlet and the nozzle outlet by applying a compression force to the bottle against a biasing force of a spring.

Claim (Index 1):
A dispensing bottle for liquids comprising:\n a bottle having an open top and compressible by a user to expel a fluid from the bottle out of the open top; a fluid chamber defining an internal volume and having an upper opening and a lower opening, the latter communicating with the open top of the bottle; and a piston held within the internal volume and moveable within the internal volume of the fluid chamber between a retracted position and an extended position whereby, in the retracted position, the piston is seated against the lower opening to prevent flow through the lower opening and allow flow through the upper opening and, in the extended position, the piston is seated against the upper opening to prevent flow through the upper opening and allow flow through the lower opening; wherein the piston is biased toward the retracted position by a spring.
