ABSTRACT:
A liquid additive dispensing device, including interconnected receiving and storage containers, adapted for use with an appliance such as a washing machine with the additive storage container located remotely in the washer cabinet from the additive pour-in or receiving container readily accessible to the operator. The receiving container has a generally funnel-like configuration operative, upon additive being poured into its top inlet, to cause the additive to gravity flow by means of a connecting tube into the first of a series of reservoir portions of the storage container. The storage container is separated into upper and lower chambers with the lower having an outlet discharging gravitationally into conduit means in communication with the treating zone of the appliance. The receiving container has additive level indicating means in the form of stepped surfaces disposed at predetermined descending additive storage levels corresponding to their associated storage container reservoirs. Pressure-responsive valves cooperate with selected reservoir portions such that upon the opening of a dispensing valve the total premeasured quantity of additive stored in the dispensing device is automatically discharged into the treatment zone of the appliance.
