ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to a dispensing assembly which is usable in conjunction with a container holding viscous materials such as shortening, grease, paste or the like. The top and bottom of the container are replaced with a top cover having a dispensing spout adjacent the periphery and a central shaft opening and a bottom cover having a central shaft opening. Interconnecting the top and bottom coveris a threaded shaft which extends through the viscous material in the container. A piston which translates upwardly on the shaft, when the shaft is rotated, is threaded on the shaft and is located between the viscous material and the bottom cover. A wing nut or similar means at the lower end of the shaft secures the top and bottom covers to upper and lower edges of the container. The threads of the shaft are pitched such that a full rotation of the shaft moves the piston upwards a predetermined distance reducing the volume of the viscous material in the container by a predetermined amount and forcing that volume out the dispensing spout. A dial fixed to the upper end of the shaft and above the top cover enables the shaft to be rotated. Indicia on the dial in conjunction with indicia on top cover indicate to the user what volume of viscous material is dispensed through the spout with each rotation or multiple rotations of the dial.
