Abstract: A powder dispenser generally includes a reservoir adapted to contain a powder, a rotor disposed within the reservoir, a plate, and an engagement member. The rotor is configured to rotate about an axis and engage the powder within the reservoir. The plate is positioned below the rotor and defines a slot configured to receive the powder as the rotor rotates about the axis. The plate is arranged to rotate relative about the axis. The engagement member is aligned with at least one opening and is configured to extend into the slot defined in the plate. The engagement member is configured to direct a volume of the powder from the slot into the at least one opening as the plate rotates. The volume of the powder is dispensed through the opening as the plate rotates.

Abstract: A constant quantity discharging device for measuring and discharging a constant quantity of powdered object from a powdered object container includes a fixed cap, a rotary disk, and a rotary cap which are coupled and mounted to the container. The rotary disk and the rotary cap sandwiching the fixed cap are rotated manually as a unit with respect to the fixed cap. The rotary disk has a powder taking out aperture, the fixed cap has a powder storing aperture, and the rotary cap has a powder discharging aperture. The positional relationships of these apertures are shifted circumferentially as the rotary disk and the rotary cap are rotated with respect to the fixed cap such that these apertures are sequentially communicated with an adjacent aperture. As a result, the powder in the container is transferred to the powder storing aperture through the powder taking out aperture of the rotary disk, and then the powder is discharged from the powder storing aperture through the powder discharging aperture of the rotary cap. The constant quantity of powder is determined by the volume of the powder storing aperture.

Abstract: A measuring cap for use on containers is disclosed. This cap has a hollow cap body divided into an entrance chamber and a measuring chamber by an internal wall. A lid is rotatably mounted on the top of the cap body so as to be capable of being rotated between a closed position covering the top of the body and an open position in which the top of the body is uncovered. A valve member is attached to the lid so as to rotate therewith. This valve member is formed so that when the lid is in a closed position, the two chambers are in communication with one another and so that when the lid is in an open position the entrance chamber is covered.
