ABSTRACT:
A fluent material dispensing apparatus having a hopper for receiving and holding fluent material, the hopper having an open rectangular mouth which converges into multiple individual discharge openings. Formed around each of the discharge openings are discharge chutes for dispensing the fluent material. A support frame for supporting the hopper includes base members and a plurality of vertical legs extending between the hopper and the base members. A swing gate is pivotally mounted to each discharge chute and is movable from an open to a closed position over the opening of the discharge chute for covering and uncovering the discharge chute to control the discharge of fluent material from the hopper. A swing arm is fixed to each swing gate. A linkage rod is connected to the free end of the swing arm and also to one end of a pivotally mounted lever arm connected to a pivot member on the support frame. The opposing end of the linkage rod is connected to a foot pedal which when depressed actuates the swing gate to allow the fluent material to dispense from the hopper. The apparatus also includes a spring means for quickly returning the foot pedal to a resting position upon release of the foot pedal.
