the back of the filter-head and thence to the powder in the measuring chamber to eject the powder from the port into the funnel and thereupon into the container. Upon further rotation of the wheel, a more highly pressurized pulse of purge air is applied to the back of the filter-head to clean the filter. Finally, the port returns to its erect position for a refill from the hopper.
The cooperation of the port as it enters into and leaves alignment with the hopper discharge opening produces a valve-like action which, on the one hand, permits and, on the other hand, cuts off flow of powder from the hopper to the port. The same type of action is experienced between the port and the transition funnel upon discharge ofBlank.
