  • Patent number: 6484905
    Abstract: A powder dispensing system is disclosed which is formed from a top dispenser portion coupled to bottom container portion. The top dispenser portion has a dispenser orifice with a cap that is preferably attached to the dispenser through strap element. The top dispenser portion and the bottom container portion are coupled through geometrically matched brim sections with snap features or complementary twisting threads that adjoin the top and the bottom to form a smooth interior dispensing surface. The smooth interior dispensing surface is angled less than 90 degrees relative to the inverted dispensing direction such that a powder is capable of being fully dispensed by inverting the dispenser and without significant collection or retention of the powder on interior surfaces. Preferably, the bottom container portion is substantially cylindrical, transparent and has graduated marks so that the quantity of powder within the dispenser is readily discerned.
