  • Patent number: 4039118
    Abstract: An automatic dispensing container for containing and dispensing granular material is disclosed which may be constructed from a single piece of sheet material to form a container having an internal ramp partition. The ramp serves to direct the material by force of gravity toward and through a dispensing orifice having a configuration which impedes the free flow of material. The rate at which the material is dispensed is controlled by a structure integral with the ramp which, when moved, serves to assist the flow of material through the orifice.
