ABSTRACT:
A salt dispenser includes a container with the top having a pouring aperture and a plurality of sifting apertures disposed thereabout. A spout is pivotably secured to the top of the container so that when the sifting apertures are open the pouring aperture is sealed off, and when the pouring aperture is open the sifting apertures are sealed off. More particularly, the spout contains a front piece located outside the container and an integral flange extending therein. When the flange is aligned with the sifting apertures, thus sealing them off, the front piece is in an upright position relative to the pouring aperture, thereby permitting salt to pour out. When the front piece is pivoted to a closed position, thereby sealing the pouring aperture, the flange inside the container is brought out of alignment with the sifting apertures, thus opening them up.
The dispenser and spout herein disclosed can selectively permit pouring or sifting of granular material by providing a unique spout cooperating with sifting and pouring apertures, whereby a single manipulation of the spout is needed to alternate between the pouring and sifting functions. There is disclosed dispenser means comprising a single opening having bulk pour and drag sift apertures with the unique spout configuration segregating the pour aperture section from the array of sifter apertures, and controlling the alternate functions by flipping the spout from one position to another.
