A dispensing device for dispensing a pre-measured amount of a liquid or a powdered material from a container. The dispensing device fits inside the container and is coupled to the mouth of the container. The device comprises a lower measuring reservoir, a discharge tube, and an upper compartment. The upper compartment couples the device to the mouth of the container and also includes a pressure equalizer. The measuring reservoir is suspended inside the container by the discharge tube and upper compartment so that material can move freely around the measuring reservoir. To dispense a pre-measured amount of material, the container is inverted. This causes the material to be captured by the measuring reservoir and travel to the mouth of the container through the discharge tube. To facilitate capturing material, the measuring reservoir includes a number of inlet notches. The measuring reservoir also includes an overflow tube. The function of the overflow tube is to meter the amount of material which is captured by the reservoir by releasing any excess material which may accumulate when the device is inverted. The dispensing device can also include a flap closure between the discharge tube and the measuring reservoir. The flap prevents the material from entering the discharge tube until the container is inverted. In another embodiment of the invention, the bottom of the container includes a collection area which is situated underneath the measuring reservoir. The bottom of the container can be sloped and have channels to facilitate moving the material to the collecting area thereby facilitating capturing the material when the level is low inside the container. The dispensing device according to the present invention can be easily manufactured by a plastic molding process and can be reused with various containers.
