Abstract
A dispensing system (40, 40A) includes a body (54, 54A) having an outer wall (56, 56A) defining a volume for storing a substance, the outer wall (64, 64A) having a top end (66, 66A) and a sealed bottom end (70, 70A). The top end (66, 66A) is covered by a flexible lid (56, 56A) that is connected to the body (54, 54A). The lid (56, 56A) has a press portion (88, 88A) for being engaged to move the lid (56, 56A) from a first position into a second, deflected position. A post (58, 58A) is connected to the lid (56, 56A) and is configured in the second position of the lid (56, 56A) to breach the sealed bottom end (70, 70A) to form a dispensing orifice (80, 80A) to accommodate movement of a substance out of the body (54, 54A).
Claims14
A dispensing system for use in dispensing a substance that may be stored within said system, said system comprising:
- a body having an outer wall with an exterior surface and having an interior surface defining a volume for storing a substance, said outer wall having an open top end and a sealed bottom end;
- a flexible lid that is connected to said body to cover said open top end, said lid having a press portion for being engaged by a user of said system, said lid having a first position and a second position moved relative to said first position, wherein in said second position at least a portion of said lid is deflected toward said sealed bottom end of said body;
- and
- a post connected to said lid, said post configured in said second position of said lid to breach said sealed bottom end of said body to form a dispensing orifice to accommodate movement of a substance out of said body and wherein said exterior surface of said outer wall, defines at least one annular shoulder to accommodate supporting said body on a container having, a predetermined opening size;
- and wherein said exterior surface of said outer wall defines a plurality of annular shoulders that increase in size from said sealed bottom end to said top end of said outer wall.
A dispensing system for use in dispensing a substance that may be stored within said system, said system comprising:
- a body having an outer wall with an exterior surface and having an, interior surface defining a volume for storing a substance, said outer wall having an open top end and, a sealed bottom end;
- a flexible lid that is connected to said body to cover said open too end, said lid having a press portion for being engaged by a user of said system, said lid having a first position and a second position moved relative to said first position, wherein in said second position at least a portion of said lid is deflected toward said sealed bottom end of said body;
- and
- a post connected to said lid, said post configured in said second position of said lid to breach said sealed bottom end of said body to form a dispensing orifice to accommodate movement of a substance out of said body;
- wherein said sealed bottom end of said body includes a bottom aperture in said body and a bottom liner that is sealed over said bottom aperture.
A dispensing system for use in dispensing a substance that may be stored within said system, said system comprising:
- a body having an outer wall with an exterior surface and having an interior surface defining a volume for storing a substance, said outer wall having an open top end and a sealed bottom end,
- a flexible lid that is connected to said body to cover said open top end, said lid having a press portion for being engaged by a user of said system, said lid having a first position and a second position moved relative to said first position, wherein in said second position at least a portion of said lid is deflected toward said sealed bottom end of said body;
- a post connected to said lid, said post configured in said second position of said lid to breach said sealed bottom end of said body to form a dispensing orifice to accommodate movement of a substance out of said body;
- and
- wherein said exterior surface of said outer wall defines a plurality of annular shoulders that increase in size from said sealed bottom end to said top end of said outer wall with said lid in said first position.
