A container for dispensing powdered or granulated material is provided. The container includes top, bottom, side, and end walls with the top of the container having a handle and a filling spout communicating with the interior of the container. The bottom of the container is provided with slide channels, the slide channels cooperating with a slide channel engaging mechanism on the closure member to secure the closure member to the bottom of the container. The closure member is movable from a closed position where the array of openings in the closure member are out of register with the array of openings in the bottom of the container to an open position where the array of openings in the closure member are in register with the array of openings in the bottom of the container for the purpose of dispensing the contents of the container.






What is claimed is:

1. A container having a top and bottom and side and end walls, the top of the container having a handle and a filling spout communicating with the interior of the container, the bottom of the container having an array of openings therein, a closure member having an array of openings therein, the side walls of the container and the bottom of the container being provided with slide channels, said slide channels cooperating with slide channel engaging means on said closure member to secure the closure member to the bottom of the container, said closure member being movable from a closed position where the array of openings in the closure member are out of register with the array of openings in the bottom of the container to an open position where the array of openings in the closure member are in register with the array of openings in the bottom of the container for the purpose of dispensing the contents of the container.

2. A closure member as claimed in claim 1 wherein each opening in the array of openings in the bottom of the container and in the closure member is rhomboid in shape.
