ABSTRACT:
This invention relates to drink dispensers and particularly to an attachment for a bottle whereby the bottle and the attachment may be placed in an inverted position on a shelf and the contents dispensed as needed. The attachment comprises a tubular member having the same contour as the bottle but slightly larger and adapted to fit over the bottle and to form a base for the bottle when the bottle and attachment are inverted. A partition within the attachment contains a closure for the bottle, so that the closure will take the place of the original cap. The attachment closure has two flexible tubes extending through it. One, the dispensing tube, terminates just inside the closure, and the other, the vent tube, is long enough to extend into the bottle to a point near the bottom thereof. Both tubes lead through an opening in the attachment. Both tubes are provided at their outer ends with a manually operable control device or faucet which normally maintains both tubes closed, but will permit the tubes to be opened manually. When the bottle with the attachment applied is inverted, for example, on the shelf of a refrigerator, the liquid therein is free to flow through the dispensing tube toward the control device or faucet. The control device or faucet may be mounted on the outside of the tubular member, or the tubes may be extended sufficiently to permit moving the control device or faucet to a glass or cup a short distance from the bottle without moving the bottle.
