Abstract
A bottle is specially designed for storing, measuring and dispensing liquids or pourable granular materials having a lower relatively large capacity reservoir for storing the material to be later measured and dispensed and an upper measuring chamber of a lesser capacity and having raised graduated marks thereon indicating a plurality of predetermined measured capacities. The lower and upper chambers are in fluid communication with one another by a passageway formed internally of the bottle. The passageway is configured so that when the bottle is tipped, a quantity of fluid may be transferred from the storage reservoir into the measuring chamber until a desired quantity has been transferred into that chamber. Formed in the top of the measuring chamber is a pour spout having a cap thereon which, when removed, can allow the measured quantity to be dispensed from the measuring chamber. Because of the manner in which the passageways are configured, tipping the bottle to dispense the contents of the measuring chamber does not result in a flow of further material from the storage chamber into the measuring chamber.
