Container suitable for smaller quantities of fluid or semi-fluid substances

A container for dispensing fluid and semi-fluid liquids or pastes, comprising:

• a top dome having a first closed end and a second open end and made of a flexible material so that said first closed end may be pressed downwardly toward and through said second open end;
• a bottom dome having a first closed end and a second open end, said second open ends of each of said domes being connected to each other so that when said top dome is pressed downwardly said first closed end of said top dome passes through said second open end of said top dome and said second open end of said bottom dome toward said first closed end of said bottom dome;
• means located on said bottom dome near said first closed end thereof for allowing the contents in said top and bottom domes to exit therefrom to a desired point outside of said container;
• flange means surrounding said top and bottom domes near said connected second open ends for gripping by fingers so that the contents of the container may be forced outwardly through said means for allowing when a thumb presses downwardly upon said first closed end of said top dome to thereby force said top dome into said bottom dome while at the same time forcing the contents out through said means;
• and said top dome further comprising thumb gripping means positioned at said first closed end, whereby a thumb pressing down on said second closed end of said top dome does not slip therefrom;
• means surrounding said thumb;
• gripping means for holding said top dome in said bottom dome after said top dome has been pressed and forced into said bottom dome to squeeze out the contents of the container, said means for holding having a central opening for receiving therethrough said thumb gripping means and an upwardly extending outer edge pointing away from said second open ends.

A container for dispensing fluid and semi-fluid liquids or pastes, comprising:

• a top dome having a first closed end and a second open end and made of a flexible material so that said first closed end may be pressed downwardly toward and through said second open end;
• a bottom dome having a first closed end and a second open end, said second open ends of each of said domes being connected to each other so that when said top dome is pressed downwardly said first closed end of said top dome passes through said second open end of said top dome and said second open end of said bottom dome toward said first closed end of said bottom dome;
• means located on said bottom dome near said first closed end thereof for allowing the contents in said top and bottom domes to exit therefrom to a desired point outside of said container;
• flange means surrounding said top and bottom domes near said connected second open ends for gripping by fingers so that the contents of the container may be forced outwardly through said means for allowing when a thumb presses downwardly upon said first closed end of said top dome to thereby force said top dome into said bottom dome while at the same time forcing the contents out through said means;
• and mechanical dispensing means for said top dome, said mechanical dispensing means comprising a plunger having a press plate for reciprocable movement to force said top dome into said bottom dome, and a double rim consistuting a pocket for the reception therein of said flange means so that said mechanical dispensing means can be supported on said top dome and so that said rim may be gripped by fingers to force the contents out through said bottom dome by said plunger.

A plurality of containers connected together to form a block of containers which may be easily transported and shipped, each of said plurality of containers comprising:

• a top dome having a first closed end and a second open end and made of a flexible material so that said first closed end may be pressed downwardly toward and through said second open end;
• a bottom dome having a first closed end and a second open end, said second open ends of each of said domes being connected to each other so that when said top dome is pressed downwardly said first closed end of said top dome passes through said second open end of said top dome and said second open end of said bottom dome toward said first closed end of said bottom dome;
• means located on said bottom dome near said first closed end thereof for allowing the contents in said top and bottom domes to exit therefrom to a desired point outside of said container;
• and flange means surrounding said top and bottom domes near said connected second open ends for gripping by fingers so that the contents of the container may be forced outwardly through said means for allowing when a thumb presses downwardly upon said first closed end of said top dome to thereby force said top dome into said bottom dome while at the same time forcing the contents out through said means;
• said flange means being of rectangular shape and surrounding said top and bottom ends, said containers being connected together at said flange means.
