Abstract
A dispenser has a housing with a stem extending through the housing. The stem is attached to a head which rotates therewith. When the stem/head combination are rotated axially into, are in some positions, blocking flanges block portals into the stem. In other axially rotated positions, portals into the stem are unblocked by the portals. The portals are at a side of the stem adjacent to the bottom in embodiments of the disclosed technology. Further, a bottom region of the internal space can be conical to direct the material towards the portals, the bottom side of the stem being surrounded by the adjacent conical space such that it fits snugly there-with in embodiments of the disclosed technology.
Claims16
A dispenser, comprising:
- a dispensing pathway passing through a head and stem which rotate together;
- a housing having a top portal through which said stem passes into an interior space of said housing;
- a lateral portal cutting into a lateral side of said stem at a bottom end thereof;
- a blocking flange extending inward from said housing wherein:
- at a first position of said head and stem, said blocking flange blocks said lateral portal.
A dispenser, comprising:
- a continuous internal space with a cylindrical region and a conical region;
- a stem extending through both said cylindrical region and said conical region, said stem fixedly attached to a head, said head situated outside of said continuous internal space;
- and
- said stem comprising:
- a) at least one opening latitudinally aligned with said conical region;
- and
- b) at least one opening which opens into an interior space of said head;
- and
- wherein rotation of said stem with respect to said internal space blocks and/or unblocks said at least one opening aligned with said conical region.
A dispenser, comprising:
- a housing with internal space adapted for placement of particulate solid and/or liquid material;
- a stem extending through a top side of said housing and abutted to a bottom side of said housing;
- portals on either side of said stem adjacent to said bottom side of said housing;
- a head and stem with a joint internal pathway having a perpendicular bend said stem;
- and
- flanges fixedly connected to said housing and extending into said internal space sized to block said portals on said either side of said stem.
