Abstract
A dispensing apparatus adapted to dispense powered products, such as protein that tends to compact and stick together, from a storage container into a dispensing chute using a hard rotatable ball or other member that contains one or more elongated slots or cavities. The rotating ball fits tightly into a flexible dispensing cup with a flexible, but tight seal. The ball is rotated by shaft with a handle to load one of the cavities with product. The dispensing cup has one or more hand and finger like structures that extend into the storage container that, when the ball is rotated are caused to move laterally, vibrating and dislodging the powder to flow into one of the cavities. Then, when the ball is rotated 180 degrees, the product drops out of the cavity into the dispensing chute.
