ABSTRACT:
A device for selectively dispensing granular material such as fire ant poison, herbicides, fertilizer and the like at the behest of a user, this device comprising inner and outer elongate tubular members disposed in a closely fitted relationship but being relatively rotatable for a selected number of degrees. The inner member serves as a repository for a granular material to be dispensed, and a plurality of holes are disposed in a spaced, aligned relationship in each of these members. These elongate members normally reside in a rotational relationship in which the holes in the members are non-aligned, and a dispensing lever is attached to one of the members for selectively bringing about relative rotation of that one member with respect to the other member, such that the holes in these members will be brought into alignment for the dispensing of the granular material under the influence of gravity. I prefer to utilize an arrangement serving to normally bias the holes into a non-aligned relationship, but the operator can readily and selectively bring about the dispensing of powder or granular material from the device by momentarily overcoming the bias of the biasing arrangement. My dispensing device can be utilized on a power mower in a substantially horizontal position, or on a string line trimmer in which it is disposed at a substantial angle to the horizontal.
