ABSTRACT:
A dispensing device for dispensing a predetermined amount of solid materials in powder or granular form allows a predetermined quantity, say for example a spoonful of sugar, to be dispensed into a coffee cup. The dispensing device allows measured quantities to be dispensed which avoids having to use a teaspoon or other measuring device. The device has a container, a body member below the container having a longitudinal passage therein, a top opening from the container to the longitudinal passage, a sliding member with a substantially rectangular cross-section, the sliding member having a sliding fit within the longitudinal passage, movable from a first position to a second position. A dispenser aperture extends through the sliding member and is positioned under the top opening from the container when the sliding member is in the first position, and a bottom opening in the body member from a bottom surface of the longitudinal passage to permit solids to dispense from the body member when the sliding member is in the second position, the bottom opening not overlapping the top opening.
