• one seal means each for connecting each respective end of the displaceable tube portion in the position inserted into the delivery tube with the delivery tube,
• a slider slidably disposed in the vicinity of one end of said displaceable tube portion, said slider air-tightly sealingly closes said displaceable tube portion when the slider is in an inserted condition therein,
• means comprising an air channel extending by-passingly exterior to said tube portion and communicatingly connects said two ends of the delivery tube,
• a storage hopper and a discharge opening spaced axially apart from each other,
