Abstract:

Liquids are segregated into separate chambers within a common container. The chambers are formed by fabricating the container in an hourglass design thus dividing it into upper and lower segments. The chambers are serviced by separate pumps which draw the constituent liquids independently and deliver them through a common outlet. The chambers are isolated from one another by inserting the pump servicing the lower chamber through the upper chamber and fitting it snugly into the waist of the hourglass. The pumps servicing the upper and lower chambers move in tandem and are fixed together by a common pump head. The pump head also serves as the outlet through which the constituent liquids are delivered. Liquid is delivered in fixed quantities from the lower chamber via an elongated pump mechanism. Liquid is delivered in adjustable quantities from the upper chamber via a modified pump design.
