Abstract:
A system of dispensers for bulk material is provided. The system includes a free-standing rack and a plurality of dispensers for bulk material having bottom panels and mounted on the rack. Each dispenser includes an enclosed container, an access door on the upper portion of the container, a spout connected to the bottom panel and defining an outlet in the bottom of the container. A downwardly directed taper is formed inside in its lower portion, the narrow portion of the taper being offset from the outlet. A passage extends generally longitudinally between and communicates with the narrow portion of the taper and the outlet. A feed slide assembly is slidably disposed on the inside of the bottom panel under the narrow portion of the taper and in the bottom of the passage. The feed slide assembly includes a knob and rod connected at one end for gripping to manually slide the assembly in to-and-fro movements longitudinally thereof and a spring in contact with the other end of the slide assembly. One end of the slide assembly forms a discharge gate for the outlet.
