Abstract
A container for BB shot or other spherical pellets having a dispensing filler portion, useful for example for filling an air rifle, and having a container portion serving as a sales package and/or storage device, said dispensing filler portion comprising a tube of internal diameter slightly larger than the BB shot, and the filler portion being joined to a wall of the container portion by a transfer portion having a transfer slot which is about equal in width and in depth to the inner diameter of the filler tube and the slot length being at least equal to several BB diameters, the transfer slot serving to reduce bridging while the dispensing filler tube portion is being filled from the container portion, the tube portion being distorted to restrict it internally at a location near its discharge end which distortion can be manually straightened to dispense BBs therethrough, and the portions being made of transparent plastic so that the user can see when the tube portion is filled with BBs and can see his remaining supply.
