Abstract
The fluid container with reseatable stopper includes a plunger which has mounted at one end thereof a head which seats between a pair of ribs provided in the neck of the container to create a fluid tight seal therein. The plunger is actuated by a lever set in a cavity in a bottom surface of the container, the lever moving the plunger head into and out of engagement with the ribs. A small open area is created about the circumference of the plunger head which allows fluid to flow therearound in a controlled manner when the head is not seated between the ribs.
