NO133010C

A metering dispenser which will automatically measure a quantity of powdered or granular material and which will permit an immediately effective adjustment in metering volume to be made. The dispenser includes a container, a cup within the container sized to permit passage of material therearound and into the top of the container when such is inverted. The cup is open along its top side so that it collects and retains the material in the top thereof when the container is returned to its upright-position and that material begins its descent responsive to the reversion. When the container is again inverted, the material in the cup flows from the cup through a tube and out of the container. Rotation of the tube causes a varying proportion of the cup to be covered by the tube, thus permitting the volume of material passing through the tube to vary responsive to such rotation.
