ABSTRACT:
A dispenser of a granular material having a hopper containing the product and, at the base of the hopper, a device for measuring and distributing the product as well as a support to hold the device in elevated position. The device comprises a hollow cylinder and a drum rotatably mounted in the cylinder, the drum being provided with a first and a second cavity defining, at the periphery, two openings disposed side by side and extending transversely of the drum, the opening of the first cavity extending forwardly past the opening of the second cavity in one of the directions of rotation of the drum. Two feed apertures are provided side by side through the drum cylinder and in communication with the inside of the hopper, the cavities being arranged so that their openings be, in feeding position, simultaneously in registry with the feed aperture. Two dispensing apertures are provided side by side through the drum cylinder and are arranged so as to communicate successively with the drum cavities in dispensing position for discharging the product fed in the cavities. The spacing between the feed apertures and the dispensing apertures, about the drum, is calculated to allow selective communication of the cavities either with the feed apertures or with the dispensing apertures. Finally, a mechanism is provided to allow controlled rotation, in two steps, of the drum so that, in a first step, only the opening of the first cavity is brought into registry with the dispensing aperture corresponding to it and, in a second step and following further rotation of the drum, the opening of the second cavity is brought into registry with the corresponding dispensing aperture.
