Container lid with quantity measures

A container and container lid with quantity measures, comprising in combination:

• a container providing for the storage therein and dispensing of a material therefrom, with said container having a open top;
• a container lid having a fixed cylindrical central body with a first end and an opposite second end, a plurality of first chambers and second chambers therein, and a central passage therethrough, with said chambers being disposed radially about said central body and each being separated by a radial wall extending between said first end and said second end of said central body, with each said radial wall being spaced apart from one another by an arcuate span, and with each of said chambers subtending a separate arcuate volume of said cylindrical body and being open to said first end and said second end of said central body, and with at least said first chambers each having a different volume from one another;
• said container lid further including a circular cover adapted to rotate relative to said central body, with said cover having an inner surface with a central shaft extending therefrom and adapted to engage said central passage of said central body to secure said cover to said central body adjacent said first end thereof, and further having a dispensing opening subtending an arcuate span of said circular cover substantially equal to said arcuate span between each said radial wall of said central body at said second end thereof, and selectively openable closure means for said dispensing opening, and;
• said central shaft of said circular cover of said lid having a distal end with a central body chamber closure plate immovably secured thereto, thereby sandwiching said central body between said circular cover and said closure plate, with said closure plate subtending an arcuate span substantially equal to said arcuate span between each said radial wall of said central body at said second end thereof and of said dispensing opening of said circular cover, and lying in direct registry with said circular cover, whereby;
• said container lid is affixed to said open top of said container having a material therein, said container and said container lid affixed thereto are inverted, said circular cover is rotated to misalign said dispensing opening and said closure plate relative to a selected one of said first chambers thereby allowing material from said container to flow downwardly from said open top into said selected one of said first chambers, and said circular cover is further rotated to align said dispensing opening of said circular cover with said selected one of said first chambers, thereby positioning said closure plate across said selected one of said first chambers to preclude further flow of material therein, and said selectively openable closure means of said circular cover is opened to allow a predetermined amount of material defined by said arcuate volume of said selected one of said first chambers to flow therefrom.
