Abstract: A powder container (110) and dispensing device comprising a powder dispensing nozzle (114) of the type having one or more small holes through which powder can be ejected. The nozzle (114) is located in the wall of a container (110) which in use is partially filled with the powder, and powder is dispensed therefrom by squeezing the container (110) to pressurize its contents. An intermediate powder reservoir is provided within the container (110) in or on which some of the powder within the container (110) becomes lodged in use. On squeezing the container, powder lodging in or on the intermediate reservoir is entrained in the airflow through the hole or holes in the nozzle to be discharged therewith. In general during each discharge action only powder in or on the intermediate reservoir will exit via the nozzle (114).
