ABSTRACT:
A dispensing and measuring device for dry particulate matter includes a container having a downwardly discharging outlet therein and a guideway port extending transversely therethrough beneath the outlet. A measuring scoop having a tapered forward end is adapted for insertion into the guideway port so as to be positioned immediately beneath the discharge outlet. A spring-biased closure plate disposed within the guideway port immediately beneath the outlet is guided by a slide member between guide rails longitudinally on either side of the outlet so that the closure plate is movable longitudinally of the guideway port to open and close the outlet, return springs being connected to the closure plate to maintain the closure plate in a normally closed position beneath the outlet. A V-shaped shoulder member projects downwardly from the underside of the closure plate into the path of travel of the tapered forward end of the measuring scoop to cause the closure plate to move away from the outlet to permit discharge of the contents of the container into the measuring scoop. As the measuring scoop is removed from the guideway port, the return springs cause the closure plate to return to its closed position beneath the outlet thereby closing the outlet.
