Volumetric dry measure apparatus

A volumetric measuring and dispensing apparatus for the dry measure of particulate matter having a fixed body and a rotating base, which base rotates with respect to the body, and which apparatus comprises;

• a. said body open at the bottom having a storage zone for particulates to be measured and a retention zone for the receipt and disbursement of particulate matter, which storage zone is defined by an upstanding curved arcuate portion, and its intersection on one end with a inverted U-shaped portion,
• a gate spaced up from the rotatable base a finite distance is mounted along one of its sides to said inverted U-shaped portion;
• and which retention zone is defined as an area on said base outside of said gate and said inverted U-shaped portion;
• said base spaced slightly from said body to permit rotation of one with respect to the other;
• said base rotatingly connected to a motor which upon energization causes the connected base to rotate relative to the fixed body whereby material piled within the storage zone will pass under the gate and out of the body for collection.

A volumetric measuring and dispensing apparatus for the dry measure of particulate matter having one of (I) a fixed body and a movable base, and (II) a movable body and a fixed base, which apparatus comprises;

• a. a body open at the bottom having a storage zone for the receipt and disbursement of particulate matter, which storage zone is defined by an upstanding curved arcuate portion, and its intersection on one end with the left parallel section of an inverted U-shaped portion having left and right parallel sections abuttingly connected to a curved section therebetween which left parallel section serves as barrier;
• said curved section and the right parallel section of said inverted U-shaped portion being spaced from said arcuate portion;
• a gate spaced up from the movable base a finite distance is mounted along one of its sides to another end of said arcuate portion and along another of its sides to the inverted U portion;
• and
• b. said base comprising a rotating table connected to a motor which upon energization causes the table to rotate relative to the fixed body whereby material piled within the storage zone will pass under the gate and out of the body for collection.

• said curved section and the right parallel section of said inverted U-shaped portion being spaced from said arcuate portion;
• a gate spaced up from the base a finite distance is mounted along one of its two sides to another end of said arcuate portion and on the other of its two sides to the inverted U portion;
• and
• b. said body having means interconnected to a motor which upon energization causes the body to rotate relative to the fixed base whereby material piled within the storage zone will pass under the gate and out of the body for collection.

• b. a gate spaced up from the base a finite distance is mounted along one of its two sides to another end of said arcuate portion and on the second of its two sides to the inverted U-shaped portion, and which retention zone is defined as an area on said base outside of said gate and said inverted U-shaped portion;
• and
• c. said base comprising a table spaced slightly from said body to permit rotation of said body,
• said body being connected to a motor by a pulley system, whereby upon energization of said motor the said body rotates relative to said table, such that material piled within the storage zone will pass under the gate and out of the body for collection with residual material being retained on the retention zone.
