Abstract: A dispensing apparatus includes a cylindrical container having at least one annular channel in its side wall; a measuring funnel having an apron-like rim around the circumference of its inlet dimensioned to be "snapped into" the channel for securely positioning the funnel in the container; a tubing rigidly connected between a centrally located hole in the cover for said container and the outlet of the funnel; and a plurality of holes are included in the funnel in substantially the same plane between its outlet and inlet, whereby material placed in the container above the funnel partly flows through the holes to form a volume of material between the plane of the holes and the bottom of the container, the latter representing a measured quantity of the material that is dispensed via the tube when the container is turned over.
