Title: Container and dispenser for dry particulated chemicals

Abstract: A container and dispenser for dry particulated chemicals, such as agricultural pesticides, in which the container has two walls forming a corner at one end of the container, and an opening in the corner for discharging the chemical in the container therefrom. A removable closure seals the opening while the container is being shipped and stored and a retractable closure is disposed within the container for closing the opening when the closure has been removed in preparation for discharging the chemical into the dispensers. The dispenser is so constructed and designed that it holds the container in the position where the opening is at the bottom for discharging the contents from the container, and a projection is provided on the dispenser for retracting the closure disposed in the container when the container is placed in the dispenser. A spring may be provided for urging the closure in the container to its closed position so that the container is automatically closed when it is removed from the dispenser.
