A measuring canister including a bottom and a side wall connected to the bottom defining an interior of the canister, a partition dividing the interior into a storage compartment and a measuring dispensing compartment, and an upwardly domed cover including a dispensing orifice removably attached to an upper margin of the side wall so that the dispensing orifice is located only over the measuring dispensing compartment. A closure is slidably disposed inside the cover, and is movable between an open position allowing material to be dispensed from the measuring dispensing compartment and a closed position preventing the material from being dispensed. The closure includes an inside surface for facilitating material exchange between the storage and measuring dispensing compartments while the closure is in the closed position, and a downwardly depending flange having a lower margin which is proximate to an upper margin of the partition, for preventing material from being exchanged between the storage and the measuring dispensing compartments while the closure is in the open position. A manually operable tab projects upward from the closure through the dispensing orifice to assist in displacing the closure between the open and closed positions.

[ What is claimed is:] [15.] A measuring canister comprising: a bottom and a side wall connected to the bottom defining an interior of the canister, a substantially vertical partition connected to the bottom and to the side wall dividing the interior into a storage compartment and a measuring dispensing compartment, and an upwardly domed cover including a dispensing orifice removably joined to an upper margin of the side wall so that the dispensing orifice is located only over the measuring dispensing compartment, a closure slidably disposed inside the cover and rotationally movable about a vertical axis between an open position allowing material to be dispensed from the measuring dispensing compartment and a closed position preventing the material from being dispensed therefrom, the closure having an inside surface facilitating material exchange between the storage and the measuring dispensing compartments while the closure is in the closed position, the closure including a downwardly depending flange having a lower margin which is in proximity of an upper margin of the partition for preventing material from being exchanged between the storage and the measuring dispensing compartments of the canister while the closure is in the open position.
