ABSTRACT:
Multiple measuring cavities of given and identical volume are formed in a base. Each measuring cavity is elevated from the base by a protrusion with tapered sides. Pulverulent or granular material is then poured into the cavities filling them to overflowing. The excess material flows down the protrusions and drains through holes in the base. The surfaces of the base present sharp edges to the flow of medium to eliminate its collection other than in each measuring cavity. Cartridges to be filled are inverted and the cartridge mouth is placed over each protrusion and its full measuring cavity. The cartridge mouths come to rest on the tapered sides of each protrusion. A cartridge retaining cover made to fit over and align with the base is placed over the cartridges. The cover holds the cartridges is contact with the sides of the protrusions, then, the cover and base are grasped and turned over as a unit, emptying the contents of the measuring cavities into the cartridges. The base us then lifted from the now upright and filled cartridges leaving them ready for subsequent operations.
