  • Patent number: 5655690
    Abstract: A dispensing apparatus includes a first vertical tube with a plug operably mounted in the lower end to selectively prevent the flow of the material from a dispensing opening in the lower end of the tube. A horizontal feed tube has an auger therein which selectively moves material into the upper end of the vertical tube for dispensing through the dispensing opening of the vertical tube. An actuator mounted on the vertical tube selectively moves the plug between the open and closed positions to dispense material within the tube. A second vertical tube adjacent the first tube also includes a plug operably mounted in a dispensing opening in the lower end thereof, for dispensing fluid from the second vertical tube. The first vertical tube is mounted with its lower end vertically spaced above the lower end of the second vertical tube such that liquid from the second vertical tube will not spray on the first vertical tube.
