Agricultural Tank Chemical Measuring System

Abstract

The present invention provides a system for receiving and dispensing additives into an agricultural tank have a threaded opening, the system including a threadable cap releasably secured to a measuring device and threaded to the tank threaded opening, the threadable cap including a hose restrictor for passing a hose through said threadable cap into said tank.

1 . A system for receiving and dispensing a fluid into an agricultural tank with a threaded opening, said system comprising:
 a threadable cap having cap sidewall extending between a cap base and a cap lip, said cap sidewall presenting a threaded member for threaded engagement with the agricultural tank, said threadable cap at least partially received by the threaded opening;   a measuring device for measuring a tank additive having a cylindrical sidewall extending between a circular bottom and a lip said cylindrical sidewall presenting a plurality of sidewall measuring indicia spaced therealong; and   a hanger extending between and securing said threadable cap to said measuring device whereby said measuring device is secured in an upside down configuration within the agricultural tank.   
     
     
         2 .- 8 . (canceled) 
     
     
         9 . The system of  claim 1  further comprising a hose restrictor mounted to said cap base for passage of a hose therethrough. 
     
     
         10 . The system of  claim 9  further comprising:
 pair of hinge receivers at said cap base; and 
 a hinge pin extending outwardly from said hose restrictor towards said hinge receivers whereby said hose restrictor is pivoted about said hinge receivers from a closed position towards an open position. 
 
     
     
         11 . The system of  claim 1  further comprising a stepped measuring structure with a plurality of steps each having a vertical structure extending vertically along said cylindrical sidewall and a radially extending structure, each of the stepped measuring structure presenting a plurality of raised measuring indicia whereby the received fluid may be measured by said stepped measuring structure.
