ABSTRACT:
A metering device includes a fluid receiving chamber disposed above a container when upright, an opening in the receiving chamber for receiving fluid from the container when inverted, a vent tube connecting the ambient to the container interior, and a volume measuring chamber beneath and connected to the receiving chamber via a relatively large fluid passage. The opening has a predetermined spaced relationship above the measuring volume chamber for dumping fluid in excess of the measured volume back into the upright container and a given spaced relationship with respect to the fluid passage. A fluid deflecting shield surrounds the opening which faces away from the fluid flow when the container is uprighted. The shield, the orientation of the opening, and the given spaced relationship are arranged to divert the fluid flowing from the receiving chamber to the fluid passage around the opening. A pour chamber receives the measured volume when the container is inverted for preventing the measured volume fluid from returning to the receiving chamber through the fluid passage.
