Abstract: Embodiments are directed to a container for dispensing equal doses of a flowable solid. The container may include a body defining an interior volume including a storage volume, an outlet passage, and a dosing chamber in communication with the storage volume and the outlet passage. The container may include a closure that has a lid and a plunger. The lid may be rotatably coupled to the body such that it rotates about a first axis from a closed position to an open position. The plunger may be rotatably coupled to the lid and configured to seal the dosing chamber. The container may be configured to dispense a dose of the flowable solid when the plunger is in the unsealed position and the container is at least partially inverted, and each dose may have an equal volume.

Abstract: Some embodiments are directed to a container for dispensing a flowable solid (e.g., powder) that comprises an interior volume and a partition separating the interior volume into a storage volume and a passage. The passage may include a dosing chamber and a passage. The storage volume may be in direct communication with the dosing chamber. The storage volume may include a floor positioned above the dosing chamber. The outlet passage may extend from the dosing chamber to an outlet. The partition may extend below the floor of the storage volume such that the partition restricts the flow of the flowable solid from the storage volume when the container is at least partially inverted to dispense a dose of flowable solid each time the container is at least partially inverted. The container may consistently dispense equal doses of flowable solid regardless the amount of flowable solid remaining in the storage volume.

Abstract: A closure for a beverage container that includes a base portion configured to couple to the beverage container, a top portion rotatably engaged with the base portion, the top portion comprising a drinking opening, and a central portion removably coupled to the base portion and to the top portion, wherein the central portion comprises a plug. The central portion moves in a first direction along a central axis when the top portion is rotated about the central axis from a first configuration to a second configuration. The central portion moves in a second direction along the central axis when the top portion is rotated about the central axis from the second configuration to the first configuration. The central portion seals the drinking opening when the top portion is in the first configuration.
