Abstract: The measuring dispenser consists of a base element having a container element inserted therein where both elements are of cylindrical construction and can be rotated relative to each other. The base element has a bottom end which has measuring chambers to hold granular material to be dispensed. The container element holds the supply of granular material which fills the measuring chambers through a fill opening. A dispensing channel in the container element is designed to be positioned over a measuring chamber such that when the measuring dispenser is inverted the measuring chamber contents are poured out through the dispensing channel and the dispensing top end.
