Abstract
A measuring cap is disclosed, which is adapted for mounting on container openings to supply controlled portion of the container contents such as powders and the like therefrom. The measuring cap includes a cup-like body including a primary measuring section for holding a portion of the container contents and a side wall including an inlet, and a secondary cap body including a top wall defining an outlet which communicates with the cup-like body through an outlet passage which is itself defined by a depending wall which separates the outlet passage from the inlet and defines a secondary measuring section adjacent to the inlet. In this manner, upon inversion of the container, a portion of its contents can enter the secondary measuring section through the inlet and upon subsequent return of the container to its normal upright position that portion of the container contents can enter the cup-like body whereupon with further inversion of the container the controlled portion of the container contents can exit through the outlet.
