  • Patent number: 4850501
    Abstract: An improvement to a wide mouth container for powdered or granular products is disclosed. Attached to the neck of the container in a spaced relationship are two flat, lens-shaped projections having opposed surfaces generally normal to the container axis. Between the projections a dispensing slot is formed which is useful to effect dispensing by pouring. Alternatively, the size and spacing of the projections allows a spoon to be inserted into the container neck for dispensing the product. The projections do not interfere with the sealing means which closes the container.
