Abstract
The invention comprises a dispensing device having an elongated body, a sidewall which is elliptical in at least a portion of its cross-section, an open top end, and a dispensing bottom end. The device comprises a ratchet, ratchet support member, dial, telescoping members, and an elliptical plunger. The ratchet support member and dial each engage the ratchet to allow movement in certain directions and prevent movement in other directions, beyond a certain point. A first telescoping member is affixed to the ratchet. The exterior diameter of a second telescoping member is smaller than the interior diameter of the first telescoping member, such that the second telescoping member is configured to nest within the interior of the first telescoping member. The second telescoping member may be extended a distance through the dispenser body via rotation of the ratchet. The plunger is affixed to the telescoping member having the smallest diameter.
