Abstract
A measuring and dispensing device () is used to selectively dispense a selected fixed volume of a solid, flowable human consumable material. The device may be in releasable connection with a container () that is operable to deliver the material therefrom to the device by gravity. The device includes a lid () which is in rotatable connection with a cup plate (). The cup plate includes a cup () having an interior volume. The cup has a cup outlet () that is closable by a relatively movable cup closure (). The lid includes a lid plate opening () and the cup plate includes a cup plate opening () that are positionable in overlapping relation to enable the interior volume of the cup to be filled with material from the container. Relatively rotating the lid and cup plate to a cup fill prevented/release orientation that is angularly disposed from the cup fill enabled orientation, is operative to cause a latch () to automatically open the cup closure and enable the dispense of the material in the cup interior volume from the cup outlet.
