Abstract
A dispenser includes a body defining an internal volume and an opening that provides a path of fluid communication between the internal volume and an exterior of the body. A first tubular member extends through the opening. A length of the first tubular member is greater than or equal to about 150% of a height of the body. In response to squeezing the body, a composition in the internal volume flows out of the body through the opening and into the first tubular member.
Claims23
A dispenser, comprising:
- a body defining an internal volume and an opening that provides a path of fluid communication between the internal volume and an exterior of the body;
- and
- a first tubular member extending through the opening, wherein a length of the first tubular member is greater than or equal to about 150% of a height of the body, and wherein, in response to squeezing the body, a composition in the internal volume flows out of the body through the opening and into the first tubular member.
A dispenser, comprising:
- a body defining an internal volume and an opening that provides a path of fluid communication between the internal volume and an exterior of the body;
- an auger positioned within the internal volume;
- and
- a composition in the internal volume.
A method for dispensing a composition from a dispenser, comprising:
- coupling a first tubular member to a body of the dispenser, wherein the body defines an internal volume having the composition therein, and wherein the first tubular member extends less than or equal to 1 cm into the internal volume;
- and
- squeezing the body to cause at least a portion of the composition to flow out of the body and into the first tubular member.
A method for dispensing a composition from a dispenser, comprising:
- rotating an auger positioned within a body of the dispenser;
- and
- opening a lid that is coupled to the body, wherein the lid covers an opening in the body when the lid is in a closed position, and wherein the composition is able to flow out of the body through the opening when the lid is in an open position.
