The present application provides an ingredient release spout with an ingredient therein for use on a container. The ingredient release spout may include a cap with the ingredient therein and a nozzle. The cap may include a diaphragm with a capsule insert extending therefrom. The nozzle may include a cutting device therein such that rotating the cap pulls the diaphragm and the capsule insert towards the cutting device.

Ingredient release spout

The push-button dispenser with compressed-gas capsule () for bottles () consists of a head which can be screwed onto the bottle () and have a lateral pouring channel (), a push-button () on its upper side and downwardly projecting suction tube (). The latter is intended to extend as far as the base of the bottle () which is to be fitted with the dispenser, and it opens out at the top into a valve device in the head. This valve device has a regulating means () which can be moved axially in relation to the bottle () and is biased in the closing direction by a spring (), and can be opened by manual pressure being applied to the push-button () from above. This reduces pressure in the interior of the suction tube () to ambient pressure, as a result of which liquid is expelled from the bottle (), by way of the internal pressure prevailing in the bottle (), out of the lower mouth opening of the suction tube () via the pouring channel (). As a special feature, the dispenser is configured as a single-piece housing () with inner housing (), which contains all the other elements of the dispenser, or bears the same externally.

Push-button dispenser with compressed-gas capsule for beverage bottles

The push-button dispenser for bottles with carbonated beverages as a head () which can be screwed onto a bottle and has a lateral pouring channel () and a push-button () on its upper side. A suction tube () projects downwards, this tube being intended to extend down as far as the base of the bottle () to be fitted with the dispenser. This suction tube opens out at the top into a valve device in the head (), this valve device having a regulating means () which can be moved axially in relation to the bottle () and is biased in the closing direction by a spring (). In order for the regulating means to be opened, pressure is applied to the push-button () from above, and therefore the pressure in the interior of the suction tube () is reduced to ambient pressure. This causes liquid to be expelled from the bottle, by way of the internal pressure prevailing in the bottle, out of the lower mouth opening of the suction tube () via the pouring channel (). As a special feature, the suction tube () is produced from an elastomeric plastics material and its outer cross section and inner cross section are configured such that, with the internal pressure reduced to ambient pressure, in relation to the increased pressure prevailing from outside, it can have its throughflow cross section narrowed by deformation. This means that, despite the pressure in the bottle gradually decreasing, the amount of liquid which flows out per unit of time is kept more or less constant. The push-button dispenser makes it possible for bottles with carbonated beverages to be, for all practical purposes, completely emptied in an extremely convenient and reliable manner, in the upright or even horizontal position, just at the push of a button.

Push-button dispenser for bottles with carbonated beverages

An ingredient release spout. The ingredient release spout may include a cap, an ingredient capsule separate from the cap, a capsule nest with the ingredient capsule therein, and a base. The capsule nest and the ingredient capsule being separate such that the capsule nest is engageable with the cap.

A spout for an associated container for dispensing a substance into the container. The spout may include a cap, a capsule that can be filled and sealed with a sealing layer, and a nozzle that can be screwed onto the container and carries a piercing device protruding therein such that the sealing layer of the capsule is pierced by the piercing device upon the turning of the cap.
