Claims14
Dosing device, comprising a storage container with a storage chamber and a dosing container with a dosing chamber, a dosing connection between the dosing chamber and the storage chamber through which filling material comes from the storage chamber into the dosing chamber when the dosing device is pivoted around a pivot axis, wherein the dosing container comprises a filling level indicator with at least one curved marking line which indicates a certain filling level of the filling material in the dosing chamber at different pivot angles, wherein the dosing chamber has an axisymmetrical basic shape and the axis of symmetry of the basic shape of the dosing chamber is parallel to the pivot axis.
Method for dosing and dispensing a filling material by a dosing device comprising a storage container with a storage chamber, a dosing container with a dosing chamber, a dosing connection between the storage chamber and the dosing chamber and an outlet, comprising:
- filling a part of the filling material from the storage chamber into the dosing chamber by pivoting the dosing device around a pivot axis, wherein the dosing chamber has an axisymmetrical basic shape and the axis of symmetry of the basic shape of the dosing chamber is parallel to the pivot axis;
- measuring the filling material in the dosing chamber of the pivoted dosing device by a filling level indicator which is disposed on the dosing container and comprises at least one curved marking line which is tangent to the filling material level at a predetermined filling material quantity and at different pivot angles of the dosing device around the pivot axis;
- dispensing the filling material by pivoting the dosing device around the pivot axis, wherein the filling material comes from the dosing chamber through the outlet to the outside.
