  • Springs 74 are provided adjacent the upper end 46 and lower end 48 that normally bias the trigger 44 toward a charging position.
  • the trigger 44 is coupled to an actuator 52 extending from the lower end 48. As shown in Figs. 2, 4 and 5, the actuator 52 extends through a channel 54 in the lower end 42 of the handle 38 and is received within a hole 58 in an elongated tab or extension 56 on the middle plate 26.
  • the second protrusion 30b on the rear end of lower plate 28 forms an opening, allowing the extension 56 to slide therebetween.
  • Fig. 6A shows the dispenser 10 in the charging position. In this position, the trigger 44 is in a relatively neutral position, substantially parallel to the length of the handle 38. As explained below, no material flows from the dispenser in this position.
  • Fig. 6B shows the dispenser 10 in a larger-portion-dispensing position.
  • the lower end 48 of the trigger 44 has been depressed or pulled rearward, toward the handle 38, causing the trigger 44 to pivot about its central point 50.
  • the rearward pull of the lower end 48 of the trigger 44 moves the actuator 52 in a rearward direction.
  • the actuator 52 slides in the channel 54 in the handle 38 and pulls the middle plate 26, via its attachment to the extension 56, toward the rear wall 20 of the container 12.
  • the middle plate 26 slides rearward relative to the upper plate 24 and lower plate 28 until some of its holes align with the holes in the lower plate 28 (see Fig. 8B), which causes granular material 62 to fall from the dispenser 10.
  • Fig. 6C shows the dispenser 10 in a smaller-portion-dispensing position.
  • the upper end 46 of the trigger 44 has been depressed or pulled in the rearward direction, causing the trigger 44 to pivot about its center 50.
  • the pull of the upper end 46 of the trigger 44 pushes the lower end 48 of the trigger 44 forward, which in turn pushes the actuator 52 forward.
  • the actuator 52 causes the middle plate 26 to slide toward the forward end 18 of the container 12 and to move relative to the upper 24 and lower 28 plates.
  • the middle plate 26 slides until some of its holes are aligned with some of the holes in the lower plate 28 (see Fig. 8C).
  • the dispenser 10 dispenses a lesser amount of granular material 62 than in the larger-portion-dispensing position (Fig. 6B).
  • the springs 74 (Fig. 2) disposed between the handle 40 and trigger 44 bias the middle plate 26 into the charging position when the trigger 44 is released, h will be readily understood by one of skill in the art that other means may be used to slide the middle plate other than the trigger-actuator configuration described above.
  • Figs. 7A, 7B and 7C show the upper plate 24, middle plate 26 and lower plate 28, respectively.
  • the upper plate 24 is rectangular, but may be any shape, including square, oval, circular, etc.
  • the middle plate 26 and lower plate 28 as shown are oval, but may also be any shape, including square, rectangular, circular, etc.
  • the surface area of the lower plate 28 is larger than that of the upper plate 24 and the middle plate 26.
  • the upper plate 24 has a plurality of holes 60u. Preferably, these holes are tapered as shown in Figs. 8A-8C.
  • the middle plate 26 has a plurality of holes 60m.
  • the lower plate 28 also has a plurality of holes 60L. Preferably, the holes 60u in the upper plate 24 and the holes 60L in the lower plate 28 are slightly larger than the holes 60m in the middle plate 26. This allows for a certain amount of misalignment of the plates without negatively impacting the function of the dispenser 10.
  • the holes 60u are tapered to facilitate the charging of the middle plate holes 60m and the flow of the granular material out of the container 12.
  • the holes 60u, 60m, 60L are contemplated to be relatively small such that they are particularly suited to diffuse granular material over a target area on food or the like.
  • the holes 60u, 60m in the upper plate 24 and the middle plate 26, respectively, are arranged in the same pattern.
  • the holes 60L in the lower plate 28 are arranged in a different pattern than holes 60u and 60m.
  • the holes 60L are preferably arranged in a circular array that fits within the confines of circular wall 36.
  • Fig. 8 A shows the dispenser 10 in the charging position (see also Fig. 6A), wherein the middle plate 26 is substantially in its center position and the holes 60m of the middle plate 26 are aligned with the holes 60u of the upper plate 24. Ln addition, the holes 60L in the lower plate 28 are substantially misaligned with the holes 60u in the upper plate 24 and the holes 60m in the middle plate 26. Therefore, the upper surface 32 of the lower plate 28 is exposed through the holes 60u, 60m. As shown in Fig.
  • a charge of granular material 62 from the inner volume 22 of the container 12 falls through the holes 60u in the upper plate 24 and moves into the holes 60m in the middle plate 26, The charge of material 62 settles on the upper surface 32 of the lower plate 28.
  • the lower plate 28 keeps the charge of granular material 62 from falling out of the bottom of the dispenser 10.
  • Fig. 8B shows the dispenser 10 in the larger-portion-dispensing position (see also Fig. 6B), wherein the middle plate 26 has been slid (via the trigger 44 and actuator 52, as described above) in the rearward direction with respect to middle plate's position at the charging position.
  • Various holes 60m in the middle plate 26 are now substantially aligned with holes 60L in the lower plate 28. It is contemplated that only some and not all of the middle plate holes 60m align with the lower plate holes 60L, because the middle plate 26 has more holes 60m than the lower plate 28.
  • the charge of material 62 that was contained within the holes 60m of the middle plate 26 in the charging position is "carried" within the middle plate holes 60m when the middle plate 26 slides to the rear.
  • the material 62 within holes 60u in the upper plate 24 remains within the holes 60u.
  • the material 62 carried in holes 60m falls through holes 60L, out of the lower plate 28 and onto a target object (not shown).
  • FIG. 8C shows the dispenser 10 in the smaller-portion-dispensing position.
  • the middle plate 26 has been slid to the left (i.e., forward) with respect to its position in the charging and larger-portion-dispensing positions.
  • Some of the holes 60m in the middle plate 26 are now substantially aligned with some of the holes 60L in the lower plate 28. In this position, it is contemplated that a lesser number of the holes 60m are aligned with the holes 60L than in the larger-portion-dispensing position.
  • Other holes 60m are misaligned due to the different positioning of the holes 60L in the lower plate 28.
  • These "closed” holes are designated as 66 and do not contain material 62, since they do not align with holes 60m in the middle plate 26. Because fewer holes are open in the smaller-portion- dispensing position, less material will exit the dispenser than in the larger-portion-dispensing position, resulting in a smaller portion. For example, in the larger-portion-dispensing position, nineteen holes 60L in the lower plate 28 are open and in the smaller-portion- dispensing position only twelve holes 60L are open.
  • the middle plate 26 has groups of holes that correspond to the various dispensing positions. One group aligns with all of the holes 601.- in lower plate 28 in the larger-portion-dispensing position and another group aligns with some of the holes 60L in the lower plate 28 in the smaller-portion-dispensing position.
  • the present invention may comprise more than two dispensing positions by altering the hole patterns, adding more holes or increasing the surface area of the plates.
  • the dispenser 10 can be placed in a charging position, a Wegger-portion- dispensing position and a smaller-portion-dispensing position by sliding the middle plate 26 relative to the upper plate 24 and lower plate 28 via a trigger 44 and actuator 52. This allows a user to dispense two different portions of granular material from the one dispenser 10. It is noted that one of skill in the art would understand that the present invention may also include more or less than three plates for providing more or less dispensing options. [0045] Fig. 9 shows the dispenser shown in Figs. 1-8 but with pins 68 on the upper surface of the upper plate 24.
  • the pins 68 protrude into the inner area 22 of the container 12 and serve to prevent the granular material (not shown) from bridging, which inhibits the ability of the material to flow through the holes.
  • the pins 68 are preferably rigid and formed perpendicular to the upper surface, but may be at an angle with respect to the upper plate 24.
  • the pins 68 protrude into the granular material (not shown) within the container 12.
  • the pins 68 protrude only a short distance into the inner area 22, but may protrude more (i.e., be longer) or less (i.e., be shorter).
  • the lower surface of the upper plate 24 includes a front angled wall 70a and a rear angled wall 70b.
  • these angled walls 70a and 70b are positioned adjacent the perimeter of the middle plate 26 and adjacent the front and rear ends of the upper plate 24.
  • the front rounded portion 72a and rear rounded portion 72b of the middle plate 26 contact the front 70a and rear 70b angled walls, respectively, as the middle plate 26 slides from the charging position (Fig. 10A) to the larger-portion dispensing position (Fig. 10B) and to the smaller-portion dispensing position (Fig. 10C).

  • the rearward rounded portion 72b contacts the rearward wall 70b.
  • the rearward rounded portion 72b exerts a force against the rearward wall in both the direction of movement of the plate 26 and in a lateral direction. The force in the lateral direction causes the middle plate 26 to move sideways.
  • Fig. 10A in the charging position, the front rounded portion 72a and the rear rounded portion 72b of the perimeter of the middle plate 26 rest between the angled walls 70a, 70b and do not exert a significant force against the walls 70a, 70b.

  • the rearward rounded portion 72b exerts a force against the rearward wall in both the direction of movement of the plate 26 and in a lateral direction.
  • the force in the lateral direction causes the
  • the forward rounded portion 72a contacts and pushes against the forward angled wall 70a and exerts a similar force against the forward wall 70a.
  • a sideways force is applied to the middle plate 26, causing it to move transverse to the direction of the normal sliding motion.
  • the upper plate 24 may be moveable and may be moved sideways in addition to some movement in the direction of the middle plate 26.
  • the sideways movement of the plates (24 and/or 26) "shakes" the granular material in the upper plate's holes 60u (Figs. 8A-8C), which helps prevent the material from bridging.
  • the lower plate may be attached directly to the lower end of the container via the protrusions 30a, which allows the upper plate 24 to move in response to the force on the angled walls 70a, 70h. In addition, changing the angle of the walls 70a and 70b would serve to increase or decrease the distance that the upper or middle plate moves sideways.
  • the upper, middle and lower plates may have more or less holes than shown in the drawings. Also, the upper plate may simply be a holed surface formed as part of the container.
  • the upper and middle plates have at least two holes and the lower plate has at least one hole.
  • the upper and middle plates may have holes of varying size. For example, one hole is of larger diameter than the other (or is deeper than the other). Preferably, where the diameter varies, the two holes in the upper and middle plates are the same. In other words, the middle plate holes preferably "match" the upper plate's holes.
  • the lower plate be rigidly fixed to the container or upper plate and that the middle plate be slideably disposed between the upper and lower plates.
  • a skirt may surround the perimeter of the upper plate and extends substantially perpendicular to the lower surface toward the middle plate.
  • the upper plate may also include a connector, which is a substantially circular wall, adjacent a central portion of the upper plate and extending from the lower surface of the upper plate toward the middle plate.
  • the lower plate has a skirt that surrounds the perimeter of the upper plate and extends substantially perpendicular to the upper plate surface, toward the middle plate.
  • the lower plate skirt is sized and shaped to snugly fit with the upper plate skirt.

  • the second connector may be substantially aligned with the first connector (and a middle plate bushing, which is described below) when the three plates are assembled.
  • the first and second connectors may be engaged, capturing the middle plate in between the upper and lower plates.
  • the middle plate may further be adapted to rotate between a charging position and dispensing positions. This rotation may be accomplished by the middle plate having a skirt surrounding the middle plate lower surface.
  • the skirt extends substantially perpendicular (toward the lower plate) with respect to the perimeter of the middle plate lower surface.
  • An actuating lever extends outwardly from the middle plate skirt
  • a central opening and surrounding wall form a middle plate bushing.
  • the bushing wall extends substantially perpendicular to the middle plate lower surface and the bushing wall surrounds the inner portion.
  • the middle plate In operation, with the plates fully assembled and connected to the container body, the middle plate is rotatable between the charging position and dispensing positions. In the charging position, the at least two holes in the middle plate holes are generally aligned with the at least two holes in the upper plate, such that contents within the container body can enter the middle plate when the container assembly is inverted. Like in the previously- described embodiments, the granular material or powder rests on the closed, upper surface of the lower plate, within the at least two openings in the middle plate. Therefore, the material cannot exit the dispenser. [0053] With the metering chamber filled and the container assembly still in an inverted position, the middle plate is rotated relative to the upper and lower plates into a larger-portion dispensing position.
  • the middle plate In the larger portion dispensing position, the middle plate has been rotated until the middle plate larger hole is aligned with the hole in the lower plate. It is preferred that the hole in the lower plate be at least as large as the largest hole in the middle plate. When the larger hole aligns with the hole in the lower plate, the material is dispensed from the middle plate. In this position, the smaller hole of the middle plate is blocked by the upper surface of the lower plate. The upper surface of the middle plate blocks the at least two holes in the upper plate, preventing free-flow of material.
  • the middle plate can be rotated to a smaller portion dispensing position wherein the smaller hole in the middle plate is substantially aligned with the hole in the lower plate. Again, the larger hole of the middle plate is hlocked by the upper surface of the lower plate. Because the hole is smaller, less material is dispensed than in the larger portion dispensing position.
  • the holes in the middle plate may be made larger or smaller by increasing their area (i.e., the area within the plane of the middle plate) or by increasing their depth (i.e., the area perpendicular to the plane of the middle plate.)
