Abstract
A powder dispensing assembly is provided for evenly and efficiently metering and dispensing a powder for a desired purpose such as coating a plurality of items with the powder. The assembly includes a container configured for holding a powder. The container has a dispensing aperture. A conduit is coupled to the container and has a receiving aperture in environmental communication with the dispensing aperture of the container. Thus, the conduit is configured to receive the powder dispensed through the dispensing aperture. The conduit includes a dispensing opening configured for passing the powder from the conduit. An auger is positioned in the conduit and a motor is operationally coupled to the auger for moving the powder to the dispensing aperture.
Claims18
