Abstract
The present invention is directed to the exemplary embodiment of a fluid dispensing apparatus which is sealingly engaged with the discharge opening of a container. The present invention is structurally comprised of a cylindrical skirt, which is sealingly engageable with the discharge opening of the container and an internal tubular sleeve which is concentric with the cylindrical skirt and is integrally attached to a circular annular plate. The circular annular plate is, in turn, integrally attached perpendicular to the cylindrical skirt and a cylindrical shield. The cylindrical shield is concentric with the cylindrical skirt and is integrally attached to the circular annular plate, as well as the cylindrical skirt and extends upward perpendicular thereto. The present invention is also comprised of a manually actuatable cylindrical valve assembly comprising a telescoping dual spout assembly and an internal tubular sleeve in cooperative arrangement. The telescoping dual spout assembly is a component of the apparatus and moves axially and rotationally within said internal tubular sleeve to open and close the manually actuatable cylindrical valve. The telescoping dual spout assembly is comprised of two separate flow chambers integrally attached to a cylindrical valve chamber. A cover is attached to the manually telescoping dual spout assembly. A post is attached perpendicular to the cover and an annular gasket constructed of elastomeric material is affixed to the underside of the circular annular plate to enhance the sealing engagement of the apparatus.
