Device for discharging substance

Abstract

A device for discharging at least one substance therefrom, comprising a container having a body member with substantially a vertical wall and a closure member, the body member is provided with an upper opening via which the substance is received and a lower opening closable by the closure member, wherein the body member and said closure member together define a cavity for containing the substance and wherein the body member and the closure member is movable relative to each other for discharging the substance.

1 . A device for discharging at least one substance therefrom, comprising a container having a body member with a substantially vertical wall and a closure member, said body member is provided with an upper opening via which the substance is received and a lower opening closable by said closure member, wherein said body member and said closure member together define a cavity for containing the substance and wherein said body member and said closure member are movable relative to each other for discharging the substance.  
   
   
       2 . A device as claimed in  claim 2 , wherein said closure member is provided with a cutout region.  
   
   
       3 . A device as claimed in  claim 3 , wherein said body member is rotatable between a first position in which the substance is contained in said cavity and in a second position in which the substance is dischargeable from said cavity via said cutout region.  
   
   
       4 . A device as claimed in  claim 3 , wherein in said second position the substance is dischargeable or discharged from said cavity by gravity.  
   
   
       5 . A device as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein said body member is detachable from said device.  
   
   
       6 . A device as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein said closure member is fixedly mounted therein.  
   
   
       7 . A device as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein said container is provided with two or more said cavities of equal capacity.  
   
   
       8 . A device as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein said container is provided with two or more said cavities of unequal capacity.  
   
   
       9 . A device as claimed in  claim 1 , comprising a cam mechanism adapted to drive movement of said body member in relation to said closure means.  
   
   
       10 . A device as claimed in  claim 9 , wherein said cam mechanism is adapted to drive rotation of said body member in one direction only.  
   
   
       11 . A device as claimed in  claim 9 , comprising a triggering means adapted to operate said cam mechanism.  
   
   
       12 . A device as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein said device is provided with a handle means.  
   
   
       13 . A device as claimed in  claim 9 , wherein said device is provided with means for holding said device and/or triggering said cam mechanism.  
   
   
       14 . A device as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein said container is adapted to contain or discharge a powdered substance.  
   
   
       15 . A device as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein said container is adapted to contain or discharge a semi-fluid substance.  
   
   
       16 . A device as claimed in  claim 1 , comprising a housing within which said body member is fittable and/or movable.
