Abstract:
A condiment dispenser with a dispensing mechanism that automatically loosens condiment coagulation in the condiment container. The user can accurately control the amount of condiment sprinkled on the food because the dispenser dispenses substantially constant amount of condiment for each manual activation. In order to isolate the stored condiment and prevent it from accumulating atmospheric moisture, only the dispensed amounts of condiment are exposed by applying a novel dispensing method of loading measured condiment portions inside the storage, transferring them, unloading and spreading them outside. The dispensing mechanism seldom clogs since it employs wide cavities for measurement, transferring, unloading and spreading. The condiment dispenser has a simple structure which is inexpensive to manufacture. It can be held and operated using just one hand and it dispenses the condiment directly downwards without needing to downturn the dispenser. The dispenser also has an electrically motorized version.

Claim (Index 1):
A condiment dispenser comprising of\n a condiment container comprising: a storage space filled with the condiment; wherein the storage space is confined within: a bottom wall situated at a bottom side of the storage space, a top wall situated at a top side of the storage space, a frontal wall, a rear wall, a left wall and a right wall; wherein the condiment dispenser further comprising: a transferring member comprising: a sliding section coupled with a propelling section; wherein the sliding section comprising an upper sliding surface and a lower sliding surface; wherein the sliding section includes at least one cavity connected to an upper aperture situated at the upper sliding surface; wherein the cavity is also connected to a lower aperture situated at the lower sliding surface; wherein the condiment container comprising: an input opening and an output opening; wherein the input opening is situated at the top side of the storage space and is configured to facilitate supplementing the condiment container with the condiment; wherein the output opening is constructed at the frontal wall and is configured to have an air tight, snug fit with the sliding section; wherein the output opening connects an inside of the condiment container to an outside of the condiment container; wherein the sliding section is configured to slide via the output opening to the outside of the condiment container from the inside of the condiment container when propelled forwards by the propelling section; wherein the sliding section is configured to slide via the output opening to the inside of the condiment container from the outside of the condiment container when propelled backwards by the propelling section; wherein the condiment is configured to drop into the cavity and load the cavity via the upper aperture when the sliding section is situated such that the upper aperture is in the inside the condiment container; wherein the condiment which is loaded in the cavity is configured to drop out of the cavity via the lower aperture when the sliding section moves the lower aperture to the outside of the condiment container; whereby, the condiment dispenser facilitates loading, transferring and dispensing of the condiment when the sliding section moves the cavity from the inside of the condiment container to the outside of the condiment container.
