ABSTRACT:
A novel dispenser is provided for flowable material. The novel dispenser includes a novel dispensing hopper. The dispenser includes a container provided with an upper closure member, and a lower outlet aperture. Guideways associated with the lower outlet aperture are provided selectively to retain a second vessel (e.g. a coffee brewing vessel) into which a predetermined amount of flowable material (e.g. ground coffee) is to be dispensed. The novel dispensing hopper is disposed between the upper closure and the lower outlet aperture. The novel dispensing hopper includes a hopper having an open top and a discharge aperture. A cylindrical, manually rotatable valve member is detachably, rotatably mounted on the hopper adjacent to its discharge opening. A variable volume chamber, including structure to enable control of the volume, extends transversely of the valve member. The chamber, in one position, is aligned to the hopper discharge aperture, and in another position, is disposed in a dispensing position. The cylindrical valve is detachably retained within the containers by cooperation between an annular groove in the valve body and a spring-loaded stop member. In addition a substantially cylindrical open, retaining bushing is separately, detachably secured to the discharge aperture. The bushing includes a pair of transversely extending apertures aligned to the discharge aperture and a guiding passageway extends along the internal circumference of the bushing between the pair of transversely extending apertures. In this way an accurately premeasured amount of a bulk ingredient (e.g. ground coffee) may be dispensed accurately and efficiently, by means of a single structure which is easy to assemble, or to disassemble and clean.
