Abstract
An internal measuring and distribution system wherein a perforated platform 1 is elevated within a box or container allowing the granulated or analogous product within the box or container to filter through into a pre determined volume area 2 beneath the platform. The holes within the platform are angled and bevelled underneath to prevent the product seeping back through when the box is turned on its side as in FIG. 3, to dispense the product through the opening 3, thus alleviating the necessity to empty the product into a separate vessel in order to measure the recommended amount of product.
Claims7
An internal measuring and distribution system comprising:
- a container for holding a granular material;
- a horizontal platform within the container extending to the inside edges of the container and elevated above the bottom of the container so as to define a predetermined volume beneath the platform, the platform further being perforated with a plurality of cavities to permit the filtration by gravity of a predetermined quantity of the granular material into the predetermined volume when the container is in an upright position;
- each cavity being formed with angled bevels, for preventing the granular material from seeping back into the portion of the container above the platform when the container is tilted;
- an opening with a moveable lid in a side of the container beneath the platform for dispensing the granular material when the container is tilted;
- whereby, when the container is tilted by 90 degrees and the lid is then moved into an open position, the predetermined quantity of granular material is dispensed through the opening.
