Abstract
A powder dispenser includes a substantially hollow open top housing. A first cover is engageable with such housing and includes a first aperture. A measuring member including a cavity is slidably connected to an interior of such first cover and moveable between a first position within such first cover and a second position substantially outside thereof. When such first aperture and such cavity are substantially aligned, and such housing inverted, such cavity receives powder from within such housing. A second cover fits over such first cover and has a second aperture for allowing such powder from within such cavity to pass there through and into a container when such cavity and second aperture are aligned and inverted. A sidewall extending downward from such second cover includes an opening for such measuring member to pass partially there through. Such second cover member is rotatable around such first cover member.
