Abstract
Aspects of the present invention are directed to a metered dose container that is transit proof. A container of the present invention may comprise a body having a vertical axis; a cap movable along the vertical axis of the body; a removable ring coupled to and between the moveable cap and the body, and a barrier, inside the body and coupled to the moveable cap. The barrier may define a loading chamber and separate the body into a storage chamber and a dispensing chamber. The barrier is adapted to be movable along the vertical axis of the body to form a transit position and a dispensing position.
