  • U.S. Pat. No. 5,490,615 discloses a dispenser has a plunger which is pressed downwardly by the user to dispense condiments, such as salt, pepper, sugar, spices, etc.
  • An adjusting device can be set to determine a predetermined amount to be dispensed by each stroke of the plunger.
  • the plunger structure has a dispensing head which passes through an outlet opening in the base of the device.
  • the head has a plurality of vertically spaced recesses with walls separating the recesses. The walls form an acute angle with the plane of the outlet opening
  • the base can be slipped over a resilient sealing member at the lower end of the dispensing head to remove and replace the base for refilling and cleaning of the dispenser.
  • Resilient seals are used to seal the openings between the housing and the outside air so as to minimize clogging and jamming of the moving parts of the device due to humid air.
  • the plunger can be locked to prevent unwanted dispensing, and to tighten the seals to facilitate washing, refilling and transportation of the dispenser.
  • the device dispenses a predetermined quantity of condiment with each stroke reliably and with a minimum danger of jamming.
  • such a dispenser can not pour fixed amount of material every time, and remains attach on the plastic loop to get the material wet.
  • U.S. Pat. No. 5,169,049A disclose a shaker for sprinkling a preset amount of a granulated material, such as table salt, having a removable closure with a plurality of small apertures, an upper discharge chamber below the closure for receiving a granulated material from a measuring chamber in a lower portion of the shaker and an intermediate chamber between the upper discharge chamber and lower measuring chamber for storing granulated material.
  • the intermediate chamber has a plurality of small apertures for filling the measuring chamber with a preset amount of granulated material from the intermediate chamber.
  • a delivery tube extends upwardly from the lower measuring chamber to the discharge chamber for emptying the measuring lower chamber of the preset amount of granulated material when the shaker is inverted.
  • the upper portion of the measuring chamber forms a shake-back guard to prevent additional granulated material from entering the measuring chamber when the shaker is inverted and shaken to sprinkle the material from the shaker.
  • a shaker can not pour material at a fixed amount, and the material is easy to attach on the shaker to get wet or jammed.
  • the present invention has arisen to mitigate and or obviate the afore-described disadvantages.
  • the primary object of the present invention is to provide a container which is capable of overcoming the shortcomings of the conventional container.
  • a further object of the present invention is to provide a container which is capable of feeding material fixedly every time.
  • Another object of the present invention is to provide a container which is capable of scraping remains attached on a wall as feeding material to keep the sliding block moving smoothly and obtain a sealing effect, thus preventing material from getting wet and decayed.
  • a container provided by the present invention comprises:

  • the store chamber includes a cylindrical cavity
  • the sliding block includes a rack mounted on a front end thereof to actuate a driving gear, an intermediate wheel, and a driven gear, and the rack engages with a driving gear, the driven gear is fixed to the plate member, and the rack actuates the plate member to open and to cover the outlet through the driving gear, the intermediate wheel, and the driven gear;
  • the recess includes a front positioning block secured therein to limit the sliding block to slide;
  • first and the second holes include scrape loops to scrape remains fixed on peripheral sides thereof respectively;
  • the cavity includes scrape loops arranged on an upper and a lower sides thereof individually.
  • FIG. 1 is a cross sectional view showing the assembly of a container in accordance with a preferred embodiment of the present invention
