  • Patent number: 5083680
    Abstract: The dispenser holds two spices therein and selectively dispenses one of the spices at a time from a top surface thereof. The dispenser includes a parabolic, oval casing having a top surface which angles downwardly in a central area between narrow ends of the oval. The top surface is formed of two planar members which each engage a central upright and lock to the oval casing in a snap fit manner. Each top surface member includes a recess in the area of engagement to the central upright which creates a transverse slit in a center area adjacent the central upright, the slits being separated from one another by the central upright. The central upright continues downwardly, along the length of the casing to divide the interior of the casing into two sections. Each section further includes a slotted radially upwardly directed flange element extending from the upright across the horizontal extent of the section.

The flange element controls the rate of dispensing and assists in returning any unused spice to the storage section of the chambers below the flange.
