A flavouring dispenser for dispensing doses of flavouring is disclosed. The flavouring dispenser comprises a flavouring chamber for containing flavouring; a dosing member having a dosing volume for receiving flavouring from the flavouring chamber, the dosing member defining an opening to the dosing volume through which flavouring is received from the flavouring chamber. A reciprocating member is movable relative to the dosing member between a closed position, at which the opening is isolated from the flavouring chamber by the reciprocating member, to a first open position, at which the opening is partially exposed to the flavouring chamber such that an amount of flavouring may enter into the dosing volume via the opening, and back to the closed position, such that the flavouring may be dispensed by the dosing member. The first open position of the reciprocating member is adjustable such that degree to which the opening is exposed to the flavouring chamber may be changed so as to adjust the amount of flavouring received in the dosing volume.

Disclosed is a particulate matter batching apparatus. A plurality of particulate matter batching devices are arranged at intervals around the rotating axis, thereby enabling each particulate matter batching device to enter the discharging position. Particulate matter in the batching container can be controlled to start or stop passing through the discharging port through the discharging adjusting mechanism, thereby enabling the particulate matter in the batching container to fall to the material receiving device. Different particulate matter batching devices are driven to move to the discharging position in sequence for discharging particulate matter, so that the particulate matter can be mixed. When each particulate matter batching device leaves the discharging position, the next particulate matter batching device can enter the discharging position more quickly, so that the time for switching the different particulate matter batching devices to the discharging position can be shortened, and the batching efficiency is improved.

A measuring and dispensing device for a flowable material has a cap body configured to be removably secured to a container, the cap body having a bottom wall that extends across the container and has a bottom aperture configured to allow the flowable material to pass from the container into the cap body. A top housing extends over the bottom aperture, the top housing including a top wall having a top aperture. A metering button is slidably mounted within the top housing for rectilinear movement between a closed position and a dispensing position. A metering bore is formed through the metering button, the metering bore being aligned with the bottom aperture in the closed position to receive a predetermined volume of the flowable material, and being aligned with the top aperture in the dispensing position to dispense the predetermined volume of the flowable material. A biasing mechanism is disposed within the cap body for biasing the metering button toward the closed position.
