CONTAINER FOR DOSING A FLOWABLE SOLID

Last updated:

Abstract:

Some embodiments are directed to a container for dispensing a flowable solid (e.g., powder) that comprises an interior volume and a partition separating the interior volume into a storage volume and a passage. The passage may include a dosing chamber and a passage. The storage volume may be in direct communication with the dosing chamber. The storage volume may include a floor positioned above the dosing chamber. The outlet passage may extend from the dosing chamber to an outlet. The partition may extend below the floor of the storage volume such that the partition restricts the flow of the flowable solid from the storage volume when the container is at least partially inverted to dispense a dose of flowable solid each time the container is at least partially inverted. The container may consistently dispense equal doses of flowable solid regardless the amount of flowable solid remaining in the storage volume.
