ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to a dispensing device generally comprises a plug body, a cap and a straining cup. The plug body is made from soft plastic material and the lower portion of the plug body is provided with a plurality of sealing flanges. The upper portion of the plug body is enveloped with a rigid casing which is provided with an outer thread and in which a directing tube is provided therethrough. The directing tube is projected over the rigid casing and the tip of the tube has an inclined spout. The cap is provided with a sealing element therein and a sealing hole is provided at the bottom center corresponding to the directing tube of the plug body. The bottom of the receiving space is further provided with inner thread which may tightly engage with the outer thread of the plug body. The straining cup is made from a filter which has very fine meshes. The side of the straining cup is provided with a groove. The peripheral of the opening of the cup is provided with a flange which is slightly larger than the outer diameter of the straining cup. With these configuring components, the straining cup can be readily and removably attached to the recess of the plug body. Then the plug body can be inserted and seated within the mouth of the bottle such that a sealing engagement between the mouth and the plug body can be established by those sealing flanges. The inclined spout of the directing tube is projected over the mouth. When the liquid within the bottle is to pour, the outer air can be readily directed in from the ventilating hole while the liquid is screened out with the residues and/or particles. The liquid flow is suitably metered by the directing tube. If there is still some liquid within the bottle, the cap can be tightly sealed the inclined spout to preserve the liquid as the directing tube can be completely sealed by the sealing hole of the cap.
