Abstract: The fluent material dispensing apparatus for dispensing fluent material comprises: a hopper for receiving and holding, subsequent to discharge, a quantity of fluent material and having an open top and a closed bottom; at least one fluent material discharge chute which is connected to the bottom of the hopper, which extends downwardly from the bottom and which has an upper material receiving opening and a lower material discharge opening; support structure for supporting the hopper above ground; a mechanism for blocking and unblocking the at least one discharge chute including a plate reciprocal in a path which contains the plate and which extends laterally, transversely across the at least one discharge chute, in a generally horizontal direction across the chute, between a chute blocking position and a chute unblocking position; engageable structure coupled to the plate and being constructed and arranged for being engaged for reciprocating the plate in the path extending generally horizontally across the chut

Abstract: A fluent material dispensing apparatus for filing containers with fluent material comprising a hopper for receiving and holding fluent material, the hopper's having a safety grid attached thereto and the hopper converging downwardly towards the hopper's bottom, wherein multiple discharge openings are located at the hopper's bottom, the top end of the discharge openings, a support frame for supporting the hopper, the support frame comprising base members and a plurality of vertical legs extending between the hopper and the base members, a foot-operated swing gate pivotally mounted to each discharge chute, the swing gates being individually movable from a closed position over the bottom of the discharge chutes to an open position to control the discharge of fluent material from the hopper, a foot-operated swing gate actuating mechanism for selectively moving the swing gate between and open and a closed position, a rotatable auger mounted transversely in the hopper for moving fluent material over the discharge o
