Dispensing apparatus

Claim 1

Apparatus for dispensing liquid from a container having at least one opening, comprising: a flexible, resilient elongated dispensing means for preventing jetting, said dispensing means having first and second outermost ends and a longitudinal bore therethrough, said first outermost end adapted to be engaged with said container at said opening to form a substantially fluid tight seal, said dispensing means having longitudinally spaced apart first and second tapering fluid constriction means interconnected by a body portion, the diameter of said bore being smaller at said first tapering fluid constriction means than at said second tapering fluid constriction means, said first tapering fluid constriction means for receiving a filter therein, said body portion being inwardly flexible whereby upon alternately applying force to and removing force from said resilient dispensing means to flex the resilient dispensing means, liquid is pumped from the container through the bore of said dispensing means; and said dispensing means second outermost end including nozzle means for counteracting the inertia of liquid moving within said dispensing means to prevent accidental dispensing of liquid, said nozzle means having a bore therethrough in communication with the bore of said dispensing means, and including an external nozzle and an internal nozzle, said nozzle bore extending continuously through said external and internal nozzles.
