Abstract
A liquid distributing apparatus, particularly for incorporation in lids or covers of 3 to 5 gallon containers, has a four-way input valve for delivering water under pressure to wash hands, clean materials, etc., fill the tank on which the lid is placed and to drive rotor shafted to a spur gear which drives an agitator for keeping the concentrate in the tank stirred-up, with a manual input for initially stirring-up or agitating the concentrate. An indicator is provided on the manual drive to show that the agitator (and hence the rotor) is operating. An aspirator or jet pump receives the liquid or water downstream of the rotor and the input aspirator or vacuum line from the concentrate or tank passes through a ball check valve which has an indicator coupled thereto for indicating the flow of concentrate from the tank to the jet pump to be mixed with the water. A valve with predetermined controls the degree or ratio of concentrate. A pressure meter on the input to the jet pump measures the input water pressure and has a gauge for indicating, for corresponding pressures and predetermined openings of the needle valve, what is the degree or ratio of concentrate to water being delivered to the place of utilization such as herbicides, insecticides and fertilizers. Moreover, the ball valve is provided with a flag indicator which, according to the degree of protrusion, provides a further indication of the ratio of concentrate being delivered to be mixed with the water.
