A dispenser includes a housing having an upper and a lower portion. The upper portion includes a storage compartment having a floor and retaining a granular substance. The lower portion includes a spout. A first outlet extends through the floor. A manually rotatable upper disc is disposed below the floor, and has a second outlet therethrough. A manually rotatable lower disc is disposed between the upper disc and the lower portion. The lower disc includes a third outlet therethrough. Rotation of the upper disc aligns the second outlet with the first outlet and the granular substance passes through the first to the second outlet. Rotation of the lower disc through one or more positions permits a variable amount of the granular substance to pass from the second to the third outlet. Further rotation of the lower disc aligns the third outlet with the spout to dispense the granular substance.

A dispensing system for a container is provided. The dispensing system operatively associates a lid assembly with the container. The dispensing system rotatably attaches a septum portion having two septum apertures to an opening of the container. Rotatably associated with and relative to the septum portion is a baffle portion of the lid assembly. The baffle portion provides two baffle apertures, each coextensive with the spaced apart septum apertures so that the baffle portion is movable between a closed position and an open position fluidly communicating the container and an enclosure of the lid assembly. The enclosure may be divided in half with each half providing a cover selectively movable between a retaining condition and a pouring condition for pouring contents from each enclosure half.

The present disclosure provides a measuring device of Chinese medicine granules, which includes a dispensing tray, a fixed discharging cover, a discharging driving cover, and a discharging anti-blocking structure mounted coaxially. The dispensing tray, the fixed discharging cover, and the discharging driving cover are provided with storage holes, measuring holes, and discharging holes, respectively. The discharging anti-blocking structure includes a bottom case, a briquetting holder, an anti-blocking briquette, a spring, and a cover. The bottom case is fixed on the dispensing tray and offsets from the storage hole. The bottom case is provided with dispensing holes therein positioned corresponding to the discharging holes. Each of the dispensing holes is provided with one anti-blocking briquette therein. The briquetting holder is connected to the anti-blocking briquette and is disposed in the bottom case. The spring is sleeved on the briquetting holder and is in contact with the cover. Under an action of the spring, the anti-blocking briquette may be in contact with the fixed discharging cover through the dispensing hole. During a rotation of the discharging driving cover, a round chamfer of the anti-blocking briquette may slide into and out of the measuring hole. The present disclosure has the advantages of compact structure and has the advantages of dustproof and moisture proof and accurate measurement when using with the discharging vessel.
