Abstract
A device for selectively allowing and disallowing passage of semi-solid from a container. A housing has an inlet port through which semi-solid can enter, an outlet port through which semi-solid can exit, and a bore. A barrel fits, and can turn, within the bore. An operator outside the housing is operable to turn the barrel within the bore. The barrel has a through-passage which in a first position of operation by the operator, allows passage of semi-solid through the device by registering the inlet port to the outlet port. In a second position of operation passage of semi-solid is disallowed by the operator unregistering the inlet port to the outlet port. A cover external to the housing is selectively positionable with the barrel for occluding the outlet port in the second position and for not occluding the outlet port in the first position. Semi-solids include medicinal, edible, and non-edible materials.
