Abstract
An apparatus for dispensing two flowable substances in a user-selectable ratio. The dispensing apparatus includes first and second containers for receiving flowable substances. Each container has a dispensing end and a second end which initially includes a piston, which is moveable only toward the dispensing end as the substances are dispensed. The dispensing apparatus also includes a manifold member having an inlet with a pair of inlet openings for removably receiving the containers. The manifold member is internally divided into two chambers for receiving the respective flowable substances. A pump member, which is moveable with respect to the manifold chamber, having an inlet end in fluid communication with the manifold chambers is provided. A selector member with a single opening is provided in fluid communication with the outlet end of the manifold member. Upon movement of the pump member by a user in a first direction from its initial position with respect to the manifold member, a predetermined measure of flowable substance is dispensed from the apparatus. The ratio of the dispensed substances is user variable from 100% of the first flowable substance and 0% of the second flowable substance when the selector member is in the first position, to 0% of the first flowable substance and 100% of the second flowable substance when the selector member is in the second position, to any desired ratio there between when the selector member is in an intermediate position.
