Abstract
A device for the metered dispensation and registration of liquids dispensed from a bottle, comprising a solenoid valve which is attached to the bottle neck, and which is opened and closed magnetically, with the closed position being the rest position of the solenoid valve. The housing of the solenoid valve is provided with coding marks. In addition to the solenoid valve arrangement, the device includes an operating head having a receiving opening for the bottle neck with the solenoid valve, an operating coil for the solenoid valve, a reading facility for the coding marks. A flowmeter which controls the opening time of the operating coil, is positioned downstream of the operating coil. The device further includes a stationary registration facility which is connected to the operating head. The device permits the viscosity-independent metering of all possible drinks if the operating head is fixedly-installed with its receiving opening upwardly positioned and the flowmeter functioning to control the opening valve via the operating coil.
