A hand-held spreader is provided having a housing with a compartment for particulate material, a chamber below the compartment having a bottom wall with a circular aperture, an impeller mounted for rotation in the chamber along such bottom wall responsive to a hand crank, a discharge opening, and a path along which the particulate material passes into the chamber for discharge via the discharge opening. The impeller has an outer circular periphery proximal to and extending over an outer edge of the aperture to form a gap between the impeller and the bottom wall of the chamber that seals the gap from the particulate material larger than the gap from entering under the impeller and risking obstruction of impeller rotation. Any particulate material that enters the gap passes downward through the aperture to enable self-cleaning of particulate material that would otherwise collect under the impeller in the chamber.

Hand-held spreader

A handheld container for dispensing particulate matter having an opening and a moveable cover for the opening positioned at the bottom of the container. The cover has a pivoting lid that can selectively open or close the opening of the container and assist with dispersal of particulate from the container while a user holds the container in an upright position. The lid may swing outward from the container or hinge into an open position and include a series of ribs for improving the dispersal of particulate.
