Device for emptying a container

In combination, a container and a device for emptying the container, the container comprising two substantially dome-shaped container parts, the container parts having respective concave surfaces which face each other, the container parts communicating with each other to form the container having a peripherally extending joint along which said container parts are sealed together and an outwardly directed flange adjacent the joint, one of the container parts being relatively stiff in comparison with the other and being provided with means defining an outlet opening, the other container part being more flexible to enable it to be pressed into said one container part and substantially into alignment with the inside thereof in order to empty the container;

• and the emptying device comprising:
• a holder for the container, the holder having means defining an opening therein and means defining a gap to position and receive most of the flange of the container, the opening defining means and the gap defining means being arranged in relation to each other so that when the flange is inserted in the gap defined by the gap defining means, the outlet opening defined in the container is in substantial alignment with the opening defined in the holder;
• said holder being provided with an integral emptying member located opposite the said opening defined therein and said emptying member and adjacent connecting portions of the holder being sufficiently flexible to be manually displaceable in the direction of said holder opening for emptying of the container upon displacement of the said emptying member a distance in the direction of the opening defined in the holder sufficient as to press in said other flexible container part until it substantially abuts the inside of said one container part secured to the holder.
