ABSTRACT:
Two similar embodiments can dispense condiments from a chamber. A push-valve extends the inside of the chamber through the bottom of the chamber. The valve has an up position which fills and stores a preselected amount of the condiment, and a down position which dispenses the condiment. The valve has an inner cylinder which slides within an outer cylinder. The inner cylinder has an indented area approximating a condiment teaspoon to be dispensed. The outer cylinder has a first hole located inside the chamber. The first hole is aligned with the indented area during the fill position. The outer cylinder has a second hole beneath the chamber so the indented area is aligned with the second hole during the dispensing position. In the first embodiment, a plunger rod attached to the top of the inner cylinder has a spring wrapped around it. Depressing the plunger moves the inner cylinder from the fill to the dispensing position. The second embodiment utilizes the same cylinders but with a manual lever mounted to the bottom of the inner cylinder which is actuated by moving the lever upward. Releasing the lever allows the inner cylinder to move to a dispensing position where the indented portion is aligned with the second hole. Condiments include salt, pepper, tea, coffee, spices, garlic, and sugar. O-rings can be inserted to dispense mustard, ketchup or cream. An attachment can scrape inner chamber walls. Plural dispensers can be mounted to dispense various condiments.
