ABSTRACT:
A container lid with quantity measures provides for the selective dispensing of different predetermined quantities of material from a container to which the lid is removably attached. The lid includes a central body portion having a plurality of differently sized volumes therein, each of which is selectively openable and closable relative to the container to which the lid is secured. A rotatable top portion is turned to select the desired specific quantity, which action also turns the closure plate below the main body portion. The container lid is used by inverting the container and attached lid, rotating the top portion to a position other than the quantity selected in order to move the closure plate from that selected volume, rotating the top portion to the selected quantity to close the selected volume, and dispensing the selected quantity from a dispenser in the top portion. The configuration of the main body portion also allows the closure plate or valve to be bypassed, to allow continuous pouring or shaking of material from the container as desired. The present container lid is particularly adapted for use in the dispensing of specific quantities of spices, condiments, and the like for cooking and food preparation, but may be used to dispense virtually any dry granulated or powdered material, and may even be adapted for use with certain liquids.
