Abstract
A dry food dispenser having a cylindrical container with a removable top or cap for covering a central storage area holding dry baby formula or other dry food commodity. The mid-section of the container includes a tapered funnel terminating in an opening. A rotatable cylinder is operably carried on the funnel having a pre-measured receptacle or cavity co-extensive with the funnel opening for collecting a quantity of the dry food product. Upon rotation of the cylinder, the receptacle carries the product from the funnel for external dispensing into a utility container for usage. A second pre-measured receptacle or cavity may be provided in the cylinder and a releasable retainer interconnects the container with the cylinder for holding the cylinder in a fixed position.
