Abstract: A shaker for sprinkling a preset amount of a granulated material, such as table salt, having a removable closure with a plurality of small apertures, an upper discharge chamber below the closure for receiving a granulated material from a measuring chamber in a lower portion of the shaker and an intermediate chamber between the upper discharge chamber and lower measuring chamber for storing granulated material. The intermediate chamber has a plurality of small apertures for filling the measuring chamber with a preset amount of granulated material from the intermediate chamber. A delivery tube extends upwardly from the lower measuring chamber to the discharge chamber for emptying the measuring lower chamber of the preset amount of granulated material when the shaker is inverted. The upper portion of the measuring chamber forms a shake-back guard to prevent additional granulated material from entering the measuring chamber when the shaker is inverted and shaken to sprinkle the material from the shaker.
