  • Apparatus for and method of dispensing granular material
    Patent number: 5361811
    Abstract: An apparatus for and method of dispensing granular material in which a flow regulator regulates the flow of grains through a fill tube is provided. A hopper assembly including a funnel and fill tube are relatively rotatable with respect to a flow regulator to facilitate the flow of grain through the flow regulator down the fill tube and cut a tip which deflects the granular material to uniformly dispense the material, for example around a cartridge. The tip rotates to further facilitate uniform distribution of granular material in the cartridge.
