ABSTRACT:
A dispensing device including a container (10) with a top aperture (14) adapted for the entry of free-flowing materials and a bottom opening (32) adapted for the directed dispensing of free-flowing materials, a handle (12), a thumb release trigger (16) associated with a stopper (30) located in the opening. Downward pressure on the thumb release trigger moves the stopper downward allowing the free-flowing material to be dispensed out of the opening. The opening and stopper are adapted to direct the dispensing of the free-flowing material, thereby reducing the spilling inherent in many of the devices found in the prior art. Dispensing the free-flowing materials may be facilitated by a reverse taper on the container sidewall (10B) such that the bottom opening for dispensing of free-flowing materials is larger than the aperture for entry of the free-flowing materials. Also, flexible prongs (19) may be located in the container in association with the stopper to disperse the free-flowing materials and prevent clogging.
