invention, and in what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly
described and ascertained in and by the following statement :-
The object is to provide containers and distributors for pepper, mustard and like
condiments and substances so made as to largely preserve the said substances from
deterioration by exposure to the atmosphere and prevent loss and waste when using
the said condiments and substances from the said containers and distributors.
First. A container under my invention for dry and powdery condiments and
substances consists of a metallic box with taper sides which are turned over at one
end to form guiles on or in which a funnel is arranged to slide in such manner as to
cover or close an opening in the end of the box. In combination with the funnel
I use a chamber formed lid as set forth under the second part.
Second. A distributor for dry powdery condiments and substances consists of a
container having fitting closely in one end thereof a chamber formed lid, the
opposite walls of which are perforated so that the powdery substance passes through
both sets of perforations when being distributed.
