ABSTRACT:
The measuring device has a bowl. The bowl's capacity is adjusted by a dam structure located within the bowl and attached to a cover structure slidably mounted on the bowl. The slidable cover extends beyond the bowl for use as a handle. The handle has a downwardly-directed extension which is used to support and stabilize the device when the device rests on a flat surface. The handle also has a rounded indentation at the junction between the extension and the handle, so as to reinforce the junction and provide means for easily gripping the device. The sides of the bowl structure are flexible so that they can be squeezed together to release the cover so that the device can easily be disassembled and reassembled for cleaning. A detent structure is provided to locate the sliding dam at pre-marked measurement locations. The detent structure is centrally located to permit strengthening of the sliding attachment means and reduce wear.
