  • Dispensing apparatus
    Patent number: 5996858
    Abstract: The dispenser apparatus may be used to dispense a granular product such as a lawn fertilizer. A duct device (300, 400, 500) for scattering the granules is stowed in a telescopically-contracted configuration under a cap (200). To use the apparatus, the cap is removed, the duct device is rotated to face in the opposite direction and the duct device is telescopically extended. This leaves the duct device projecting away from the main container (100) of the apparatus, so that the granules may flow out of the container and along the duct device to be scattered by a scatter plate (502) at the end of the duct device.
