Abstract
The measuring container has a body with a bowl at one end. A sliding cover is provided with a sliding barrier member or dam which moves longitudinally in the bowl to different positions to adjust the capacity of the bowl. The sliding dam or barrier member has a cover which extends by a distance sufficient to cover the opening between the dam and the rear wall of the bowl at all positions of the barrier member so as to prevent materials from entering that opening.
