Abstract:
1. A shot dispenser comprising: a housing having an axis, a base transverse to said axis, and a wall upstanding from said base and defining an enclosure, the housing defining an outlet, wherein said base is circular and centered on said axis, an annulus of said base defining the outlet; a chamber within said housing and relatively axially movable along said axis in the direction of said base between a closed condition in which material contained in the chamber is prevented from draining through the outlet past the base, and an open condition in which material therein can drain through the outlet past said base, said chamber including a projection in abutment with said wall to prevent relative movement of said chamber along said axis to the open condition, a removable obstruction being provided to allow such relative movement in demand; wherein said base includes a crown on said axis and which is adapted for leak tight fitting in an aperture of said chamber, relative axial movement of said chamber causing said aperture to uncover said outlet, and to permit material in the chamber to drain therefrom.
