Abstract:
A dispensing stand for supporting an industrial drum in a dispensing attitude, the industrial drum having a dispensing device for dispensing selected volumes of contents poured from the industrial drum along a dispensing path to a receptacle placed at a dispensing location beneath the dispensing device, when the industrial drum is in the dispensing attitude, the dispensing stand including a housing, a cradle on the housing for supporting the industrial drum in the dispensing attitude, a reservoir in the housing, a catch basin mounted on the housing for selective movement between a first position wherein the catch basin intercepts the dispensing path for catching contents dripped from the dispensing device along the dispensing path, and a second position wherein the catch basin is clear of the dispensing path for enabling the poured contents to reach the receptacle at the dispensing location, and a drain arrangement between the catch basin and the reservoir for directing the dripped contents from the catch basin to the reservoir.
