Abstract

A dosing dispenser system and a dosing dispenser include a slidable control configured to allow a user to select a desired mixing ratio for a product contained in a container attached to the dosing dispenser with a transport medium, such as water, flowing through the dosing dispenser.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A dosing dispenser system, comprising:
a container; and
a dosing dispenser attached to the container, wherein the dosing dispenser comprises:
an inlet;
an outlet;
a sliding valve plate disposed within the dosing dispenser configured to regulate the flow of a first fluid from the inlet through the dosing dispenser;
a sliding dosing control configured to regulate the flow of a second fluid from the container into the dosing dispenser; and
a sliding selector in communication with both the sliding valve plate and the sliding dose control, wherein sliding movement of the sliding selector moves both the sliding valve plate and the sliding dosing control.

2. The dosing dispenser system of claim 1 , wherein the dosing control is a slidable plate.

3. The dosing dispenser system of claim 1 , wherein the dosing control includes an off position wherein no product flows into the dosing dispenser and an on position where some product flows into the dosing dispenser.

4. The dosing dispenser system of claim 1 , wherein the container has a threaded opening and the dosing dispenser further comprises a threaded container closure.

5. The dosing dispenser system of claim 4 , wherein the threaded container closure is permanently threaded onto the container opening without the use of any ratchets on the container opening itself.

6. The dosing dispenser system of claim 1 further comprising:
a latch connected to the dispenser body adjacent the sliding selector; and
at least one latch catch on the selector.

7. A dosing dispenser for dispensing from a container, comprising:
an inlet;
an outlet;
a valve seat;
a sliding valve disposed in the valve seat, the sliding valve configured to regulate the flow of a first fluid from the inlet through the valve seat;
a sliding dosing control configured to regulate the flow of a second fluid from the container into the dosing dispenser; and
a sliding selector in communication with the sliding valve plate and the sliding dosing control, the sliding selector configured to move the valve plate and the dosing control upon actuation of the sliding selector.

8. The dosing dispenser of claim 7 , wherein the dosing control is a slidable plate.

9. The dosing dispenser of claim 7 , wherein the dosing control includes an off position wherein no product flows into the dosing dispenser and an on position where some product flows into the dosing dispenser.

10. The dosing dispenser of claim 8 further comprising:
a latch connected to the dispenser body adjacent the sliding selector; and
at least one latch catch on the selector.

11. The dosing dispenser of claim 9 further comprising:
a latch connected to the dispenser body adjacent the sliding selector; and
at least one latch catch on the selector.

12. The dosing dispenser system of claim 1 further comprising
a ball valve disposed between the sliding valve plate and the outlet; and
a trigger configured to rotate the ball valve.

13. The dosing dispenser system of claim 1 further comprising a handle collar assembled with the dispenser.

14. The dosing dispenser of claim 7 , wherein the valve seat further comprises:
a front seat portion;
a rear seat portion; and
at least two O-rings, wherein the front seat portion and one O-ring are adjacent a first side of the valve plate and the second seat portion and one O-ring are adjacent an opposite second side of the valve plate.

15. The dosing dispenser of claim 7 further comprising
a ball valve disposed between the sliding valve plate and the outlet; and
a trigger configured to rotate the ball valve.

16. The dosing dispenser of claim 7 further comprising a handle collar assembled with the dispenser.
