  • Publication number: 20170000295
    Abstract: A container-dispenser (100) provided with one or more chambers (30a) formed by fixed or removable walls (40) mating with notches and grooves formed on surfaces inside a container body (30c), the chambers sealed by a rotatable lid (10) with a port (20) or spout (10d) on a top side, and a center post seal (62a) with an array of spoke-like lid channels (62b) radiating outwards to a perimeter channel (64) on an underside of the lid forming a series of adjacent hollow spaces (62). A funnel (50) having a neck (50b) approximating a shape of the opening of the container body (30) created by a center post (30c) and an interior container wall (30h) is also provided. The spout or port allows access to a quantity of stored powder or pieced foods stored in the chambers, and the funnel allows each chamber to be easily and securely filled.

  • Publication number: 20160123786
    Abstract: A container-dispenser (100) with bipartite lids, each lid (10) having an upper lid (10a) with a port (20) or coupling spout (10d), and a lower lid (10b) that couples the lid to the container (30). Upper and lower lids rotate independently of one another. The upper lid underside has protruding chamber seals (60). The container body (30) features one or more storage chambers (30a) formed by fixed or removable walls (40), mating channels (30b 30d 30f) for the walls, a conical base (30i), and a center post (30c) rising out of the base. The base separates the chamber area from a storage space (30e) housing a funnel (50) with a truncated threaded neck. To use, the lid having a spout is coupled to the top of the container body, the upper lid rotated until the spout is directly over the desired chamber. The funnel and spout are coupled prior to filling a chamber with powder. Powder is dispensed through the spout minus the funnel.
