Semi-solid cylindrical container and dispenser

A container for dispensing semi-solid products comprising:

• a first cylindrical body having a rounded closed applicator end and an opposite open ended base, said body having product discharge openings through said rounded closed end,
• the major portion of said body forming a product storage chamber for a viscous semi-solid product to be dispensed,
• a dome shaped product discharge piston movable through said body beneath said storage chamber,
• a piston drive screw having two flat and two arcuate sides opposed each other for driving said piston upwardly in said cylindrical body to discharge the product to be dispensed through said product discharge openings,
• dial and screw drive ratchet means positioned within said container having a manually rotatable cylindrical apron for advancing the screw shaft and piston positioned beneath said piston,
• a base and wrench means positioned at the open end of said container positioning and supporting said dial and screw drive ratchet means to permit the drive screw to be rotated by the dial apron on said dial and screw drive ratchet means while permitting axial motion of said drive screw through said base and wrench means to drive the piston upwardly,
• said base and wrench means carrying a cylindrical wall defining a sound chamber having vertically disposed ribs exteriorly thereof, and
• metering means for regulating the amount of contents to be discharged by upward motion of said piston comprising a pawl clicker carried by the dial apron on said dial and screw ratchet means positioned to strike the vertical ribs on the wall defining said sound chamber means on said base and wrench means to cause an audible click to sound on passage of the pawl over a rib while advancing the drive screw to move the piston upwardly and signal discharge of a metered quantity of the semi-solid contents through the discharge openings in the rounded closed end of the container.
