Abstract
A measuring dispenser for flowable material comprises a hopper and a rotatable barrel member for transferring measured quantities of the material from the hopper to a receptacle. The barrel member has a plurality of angularly spaced recesses of predetermined volumetric capacities. By rotation of the barrel member in one direction through a selected angle, selected recesses are filled from the hopper in sequence, the material being retained in the filled recesses during such rotation. By subsequent rotation of the barrel member in the opposite direction through the same selected angle and an additional predetermined angle, the filled recesses are sequentially emptied into the receptacle.
