ABSTRACT:
A container for handling bulk flowable products including a housing having opposed first and second end walls and opposed first and second side walls, a partition in the housing dividing it into first and second compartments, an outlet for each compartment respectively adjacent to opposite ends of the housing; and closures for the outlets. The partition is sloped toward each outlet so that when its closure is opened, the product in the corresponding compartment flows through the outlet and is dispensed. In effect, the container is comprised of two, back-to-back, funnel-shaped compartments that are inverted relative to each, with outlets from the compartments adjacent to the respective throats of compartments. A method of using the container is also disclosed and involves storing the same or different products, and if different which may be related but do not have to be, in the two compartments and selectively dispensing the product or products through the outlets without having to pick up the container except to invert it for dispensing product from the other compartment. The container and method are especially suited for containing and dispensing dry bulk rice and beans but are applicable to many other flowable products, both solid and liquid.
