ROTARY MEASURING DISPENSER

摘要

A measuring dispenser is described that employs a dispensing head that connects to a container with particulate solids that are intended to be measured and dispensed. The dispensing head employs a rotor with an adjustable sized measuring receptacle. As the rotor is turned, the particulate solids are accurately measured and dispensed out of a discharge port. The measuring receptacle is designed to receive a structure that reduces the size of the measuring receptacle to a predetermined volume. In an embodiment, the measuring receptacle is cylindrical and threaded. A plug is screwed into the measuring receptacle to adjust the measuring receptacle to a predetermined volume. In an alternative embodiment, an insert cup is snapped into the measuring receptacle to provide a desired measuring volume. This insert cup may be changed to adjust the volume being measured.

主权项

1. A dispensing head for measuring and dispensing a volume of particulate solids from a source of particulate solids comprising:
a discharge port for dispensing the particulate solids; and a rotary valve coupled to said source of particulate solids and the discharge port, the rotary valve including a measuring receptacle adapted to receive said particulate solids from said source of particulate solids and measure a predetermined amount of said particulate solids; wherein the measuring receptacle is adapted to removeably receive a structure that fits in the measuring receptacle and reduces a volume of the measuring receptacle to a predetermined volume.
