Abstract

A dry pourable paint component dispensing container usable with a system for dispensing the dry paint component from the dispensing container into a paint receptacle according to a paint formula to form a paint mixture. The dispensing container includes a main body for containing the dry pourable paint component. The main body has a dispensing opening through which the dry paint component can be dispensed and a movable cover element. The cover element is movable between a closed state, wherein the paint component is prevented from being dispensed, and an opened state, wherein the dispensing opening is uncovered and the paint component can be dispensed from the dispensing container and into the paint receptacle. An operating arrangement on the cover element is releasably engageable by an operating device of the dispensing system that moves the cover element between its closed and opened states. An alignment mechanism on the dispensing container aligns the container with the dispensing system, while a latching arrangement of the container releasably secures the container to the dispensing system. A movable shaker sleeve mechanism within the dispensing container prevents bridging of the particles that define the dry pourable paint component.
