Powder Dispensing Device

Abstract

A powder dispensing device for dispensing powder may include a powder application device for dispensing the powder and a handle connected to the powder application device to allow the user to manipulate the powder dispensing device to dispense powder evenly and without wasting large amounts of powder. The powder application device may include an enclosure having access by a displaceable lid to store the powder and includes a flexible powder dispensing housing being permeable to dispense the powder from the cavity. The powder application device includes a bottom wall having apertures to connect the enclosure with the powder dispensing housing and tubes to provide unobstructed pathways from the enclosure o the flexible powder dispensing housing. A handle may include a hook or aperture for hanging the device. The enclosure of the powder application device comprises curved sidewalls, a curved front wall and a curved back wall.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A powder dispensing device for dispensing powder, comprising:
 an enclosure adapted to receive a powder therein, said enclosure having an opening, covered by a displaceable lid, on a first side of said enclosure and having a second side, opposite said first side, having a plurality of apertures on said second side;   a flexible powder dispensing housing included on a second side of said enclosure, said flexible powder dispensing housing being permeable to dispense the powder that passes from said enclosure through said plurality of apertures; and   a handle having a distal end and a proximal end wherein said distal end connected to said enclosure and said proximal end is spaced from said enclosure, said handle further comprising a grasping portion that allows a user to manipulate the powder dispensing device.   
     
     
         2 . The powder dispensing device of  claim 1  wherein said plurality of apertures are arranged from a proximal end to a distal end of said enclosure along a longitudinal axis of said enclosure; and 
     
     
         3 . The powder dispensing device of  claim 1  wherein the handle includes a hook. 
     
     
         4 . The powder dispensing device of  claim 1  wherein said enclosure comprises a proximal end that is connected to said handle and wherein said proximal end comprises curved back wall. 
     
     
         5 . The powder dispensing device of  claim 4  wherein said enclosure comprises curved sidewalls. 
     
     
         6 . The powder dispensing device of  claim 5  wherein said enclosure comprises a distal end, opposite said proximal end, and wherein said distal end comprises a curved wall. 
     
     
         7 . The powder dispensing device of  claim 1  wherein said enclosure is substantially oval-shaped. 
     
     
         8 . The powder dispensing device of  claim 1  wherein said displaceable lid is a removable lid. 
     
     
         9 . The powder dispensing device of  claim 1  wherein said displaceable lid is a hinged lid. 
     
     
         10 . The powder dispensing device of  claim 9  further comprising a latch for releasably securing said lid to said enclosure.
