ABSTRACT:
A cap for use with an associated container comprises a measuring spout which is wholly contained inside the cap and does not protrude into the container. The cap comprises a cap wall which is adapted to provide an opening in which the spout is seated. The spout comprises a forward wall and at least one side wall which forms an open-topped hopper. The spout pivots between a closed, filling position and an open, dispensing position. The spout is formed from a visually translucent material, such as any of a number of commonly available plastics. Volumetric measuring indicia are disposed on an outer surface of the forward wall of the spout, thereby allowing a user to determine and adjust the desired volume of the material prior to discharge of the material from the spout. The cap is also provided with upwardly and inwardly tapered portions which guide the material into the hopper. In use, the container-cap assembly may be tilted while the spout is in the closed position, so as to fill the hopper with a predetermined amount of particulate solid material from the container. The spout may then be opened to allow the user to dispense the desired volume of the material from the spout.
