A dispensing container and cap combination comprising a molded plastic container having a main body portion with an interior, a dispensing tube portion with an interior, and a neck portion, the neck terminating in an open end, the neck portion having a filling opening to the main body portion interior and a separate opening to the tube portion interior, the separate openings being spaced below the open end of the neck portion, the tube portion formed integrally with the main body portion and having a first end open to an interior of the main body portion adjacent a bottom thereof and a second end, spaced from the first end open to the separate opening, the tube portion intermediate the first and second ends being separated from the interior of the main body portion, a cap adapted to be received on said container including means closing the filling opening to the neck portion, the cap having means effective to divide the neck poriton into a dispensing passageway and a stopper for the main portion, said cap having a dispensing opening communicating with the dispensing passageway.
A dispensing container and cap combination comrpising a blow molded plastic container having an interior and having a main body portion with an interior, a neck portion with an interior and a tube portion, the main body portion interior communicating with the neck portion interior through a filling opening, the tube formed integrally with the container having a first end open to the interior of the container adjacent a bottom of the container and a second end adjacent the neck portion of the container, blow molded means separating the portion of the tube intermediate the ends from the interior of the main body portion whereby the tube defines a flow channel from adjacent the bottom of the main body portion to adjacent the neck which is separate from the communication of the interior of the main body portion to the neck portion interior through the filling opening, the neck portion terminating in an open end, a cap member closing the open end, means dividing the interior of the neck portion inboard of closure of the open end by the cap into two passageways, one of said passageways forming the filling opening to the interior of the main body and the other of said passageways forming a dispensing passageway, the second end of the tube being open to the dispensing passageway, cap carried means blocking communication between the dispensing passageway and the filling opening, and a dispensing opening through said cap being open to the dispensing passageway and being closable by a cap carried pivotable stopper.
A skirted dispensing cap and container combination comprising a molded plastics container having an integral dispensing tube extending from a bottom of the interior of a main body portion of the container to a neck portion of the conatiner, the neck portion having an interior the neck portion of the conatiner including a throat opening for filling the main body and a peripheral wall portion for attachment of a cap skirt, the tube communicating to the interior of the neck portion intermediate a mouth opening of the peripheral wall and the throat opening, the cap having said skirt for receipt of said skirt around the peripheral wall and a top for closing the mouth opening, the cap having means depending from an undersurface of the top for closing the throat opening and having a dispensing opening positioned intermediate the skirt and the depending means, whereby the depending means, when the cap is attached to the container, closes the throat opening and defines an area between the depending means and a peripheral wall into which the dispensing tube can dispense liquid contained within the main body portion of the container upon squeezing the container, said area opening to the dispensing opening through the cap.
A container and cap assembly comprising:
- a container having a main body having an end with a container neck projecting from the end, a cap having an exterior and a hollow interior open at one side, means for snap-on attachment of the cap to the container with the container extending into the hollow interior of the cap from the one side, the cap covering substantially the entirety of the container end and neck, a cap orifice open to the neck and to the cap exterior, a cap carried stopper selectively closing the orifice, said neck located to one side of a center of said container end, the container formed with an integral tube having portions separated from the main body, the cap having means providing a snap-on connection to the tube portions.
A dispensing container and cap assembly comprising:
- a molded plastics material container having an open ended neck portion with two separate openings thereto spaced from the open end, said separate openings open to an interior of a main body portion of the container, the main body portion having upper and lower portions, the first of the openings being a filling opening open to the upper portion of the main body interior and a second of the openings being a dispensing opening open to a lower portion of the interior of the main body through a dispensing tube formed integrally with the main body and the tube separated from the interior of the main body between an opening of the tube to the lower portion and the second opening, a cap closing the open end and having means to maintain the second opening out of communication with the first opening and a cap carried dispensing opening communicating with the exterior and with the second opening, said cap including means to close the first of the openings, the cap having a top portion with a depending peripheral skirt, the neck having a projecting portion with a peripheral wall, the skirt engaging the exterior of the peripheral wall and affixing the cap to the container, a stopper portion projecting from an undersurface of the top, the stopper portion closing the first of the openings, said cap carried dispensing opening being through said top portion of the cap, the cap carried dispensing opening being in communication with the tube through a portion of the area radially intermediate the cap carried stopper and the peripheral wall of the neck portion.
A dispensing container and container cap combination comprising:
- a blow molded plastics material container having an annular dispensing neck, and a main body portion, said neck having an open end closable by a closure cap, a dispensing tube formed as a portion of the main body portion having a first end open to an interior of the neck and spaced from the open end, and a second end open to an interior of the main body portion spaced from the neck, and the closure cap affixable to the neck having top means closing said open end and having means for dispensing and means formed integrally with the cap communicating said first end to said means for dispensing.
