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.

Claims

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.

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.

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.
