Dispensing cap with internal measuring chamber and selectively useable sifter

A measuring/dispensing cap adapted for attachment to an open, upper end of a container, the cap comprising:

• a top and a peripheral skirt extending downwardly from said top;
• a weir panel separating said peripheral skirt into upper and lower sections, the upper section comprising a measuring chamber defined by said top, said upper section of said skirt and said weir panel, and the lower section including means for attaching said cap to the open upper end of the container;
• and wherein at least one of said top and upper section of said peripheral skirt is provided with volume indicators;
• said weir panel formed with a weir aperture on one side of a diametrical centerline of said caps, said weir aperture defined in part by a weir edge extending parallel to and spaced from said centerline;
• said top comprising a dispensing door pivotally secured to said skirt and having a hinge axis parallel to said centerline and said weir edge, and wherein a portion of the door opposite said hinge axis lies on the other side of said diametrical centerline;
• and a sifter disk underlying said weir panel and rotatable relative thereto.
