Inventor: SUNATORI GO SIMON
IPC: A47B73/00
Filed: 2008-09-22
Abstract: .cndot. A magnetically-hanging spice dispenser comprises a plate assembly and a container assembly. The plate assembly comprises a non-magnetic planer plate and permanent magnets. The container assembly comprise a cylindrical spice container, a circular removable cap and a magnetic element. Magnetic attraction force between the magnetic element of the container assembly and the permanent magnet of the plate assembly is exerted when the container assembly is placed in proximity to the plate assembly. The container assembly and the plate assembly form self-seal in order to prevent dust, air, moisture and the like from entering into the spice container. The container assembly further comprises a circular elastic cover for covering the removable cap.  The elastic cover is capable of variably overlapping with the removable cap so that spices can be dispensed at continuously-variable flow rate. This invention relates to spice dispensers, and the principal use of the invention is for dispensing spices in a kitchen.
