A system and method for loading particulate material into a dispenser. This system includes a dispenser for receiving and dispensing particulate material, and a deflection assembly to deflect particulate material fed into the dispenser. The deflection assembly is located adjacent an inlet of the dispenser, and includes a deflection cone and a plurality of outside fins or ribs. In use, a supply of a particulate material is directed onto the deflection cone, and this cone and the ribs connected thereto then direct that material outward and around the interior of the dispenser.

Particle loading system and method

Apparatus for dispensing a blended composition of particulate ingredients, comprising a bin section, a cone section, and an outlet section. The bin section holds a supply of the composition, and the cone section includes inner and outer cones for conducting downward, respectively, first and second portions of the composition discharged from the bin section. The outlet section is located below the cone section to receive those first and second portions of composition from the cone section; and the outlet section includes a conical plug extending below the inner cone to retard the flow of the first portion of the composition through the inner cone, and to mix the first portion of the composition with the second portion thereof.

Apparatus for dispensing a blended composition of particulate ingredients

An apparatus is described for dispensing a composition of coarse and fine particles, comprising a bin section and a cone section. The bin section holds a supply of the composition, and the cone section includes inner and outer frusto-cones for conducting downward, respectively, first and second portions of the composition discharged from the bin section. These portions re-mix in the area directly below an outlet of the inner cone as the material is discharged from the dispensing device.

Apparatus for dispensing particulate material

A collapsible container for holding a product, comprising an outside member and an inside member. The outside member includes a bottom section and four foldably interconnected outside panels vertically extending upward from the bottom and forming therewith a container interior to receive the product. The inside member includes four reinforcing panels and each of these panels includes a foldable upper flap. The reinforcing panels are positioned inside and abutting against the outside panels of the outside member, and the upper flaps of the inside member are positioned generally horizontally, extending over the container interior. A plurality of connecting clips releasably connect together these upper flaps to hold the flaps generally horizontal, and to hold the reinforcing panels and the outside panels against the weight of the product.
