An apparatus is provided for delivering a metered dose of a granular material. The apparatus holds the granular material captive at any angle until use. In use, the apparatus is typically inverted and the plunger rod is plunged on a surface and released. During the release the metered dose of material is transferred to a holding area. While still inverted, the apparatus is shaken/agitated/oscillated to release the metered dose of material from the holding area out the exit holes while the bulk of granular material is once again sealed at any angle. The granular material is evenly spread to the desired surface through perforations in the cap portion of the apparatus. It should also be noted that the apparatus can also have its rod plunged in an upright position then inverted and shaken/agitated/oscillated to release the metered dose of material. The apparatus is normally sealed; it can be carried on ones' person or in a pocket or purse. The intent of the design of this apparatus is to lower the salt intake for humans for consumer and retail use.

1. An apparatus is provided for delivering a metered dose of a granular material comprising: a container assembly including a container to hold bulk material, a transfer canister including a reservoir cup for holding granular material which is captive at any angle until use,a cap portion covering the transfer canister; wherein the cap portion includes exit holes therethrough; anda plunger rod located therein and is plunged on a surface of the transfer canister;wherein granular material is sealed at any angle; by the plunger rod; wherein the granular material is evenly spread to a desired surface through the exit holes in the cap portion when agitated. 2. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein plunging the plunger rod delivers a metered amount of material from a material-loading hole to the reservoir cup; and wherein shaking the container assembly delivers the metered material through a screw-on cap through the exit holes. 3. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the plunger rod may be any one of wood, iron, stainless steel, plastic, or alloy steel. 4. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the transfer canister comprises any of wood, iron, stainless steel, plastic, or alloy steel. 5. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein a holding pin or e-ring for spring and is placed in the back region of the plunger rod to hold further assembly components captive. 6. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein a spring is utilized to keep a holding pin or e-ring for assembly flush with the container assembly comprises any one of wood, iron, stainless steel, plastic, or alloy steel. 7. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein a material loading hole is utilized to gather the granular material for dispersion; wherein a diameter of the material loading hole is determined based on the amount of material to be gathered for delivery. 8. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein a holding pin or e-ring for assembly is utilized to hold assembly components captive and is made of wood, iron, stainless steel, plastic, or alloy steel. 9. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein a plunger rod anti-mar anti-skid bumper is utilized to facilitate the plunger action on a surface without marring such surface and to prevent skidding when apparatus is used, wherein the plunger rod anti-mar anti-skid bumper is any of wood, iron, stainless steel, plastic, alloy steel. 10. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein a perforated cap may be used for the final delivery of material; wherein the perforated cap is any one of wood, iron, stainless steel, plastic, or alloy steel; wherein the perforated cap comprises any of a plug, threaded or other means to hold the perforated cap captive. 11. The apparatus according to claim 1, wherein a actuator rod guide is utilized to provide a slippery, non-binding guide for the plunger rod, wherein the actuator rod guide is any one of wood, iron, stainless steel, plastic, or alloy steel. 12. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein a perforation holes for delivery of material may be used for the final delivery exit of the material; wherein a size of the exit holes can be determined so as to facilitate the amount of agitation and/or aeration of the granular material during delivery. 13. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the container assembly includes at a top portion thereof; wherein the container assembly is constructed of any of wood, iron, stainless steel, plastic, alloy steel, ceramic, or glass. 14. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein a transfer canister is utilized to separate bulk material from delivery material; wherein the transfer canister is any of wood, iron, stainless steel, plastic, alloy steel, ceramic, or glass. 15. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein a transfer canister gasket is constructed of any of wood, iron, stainless steel, plastic, alloy steel, ceramic, or glass. 16. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein a transfer canister hole is utilized to facilitate material transfer from a bulk area within the container assembly to a transfer canister; wherein a diameter of the transfer canister hole can be determined based on the diameter of plunger rod.
