Abstract
An adhesive container for use with a liquid adhesive, wherein the container comprises a body, a bottom, a side wall and a top. The container can include a stem extending from the lid and a dauber applicator connected to the stem, wherein the dauber applicator and the stem are stored within the container. The dauber applicator retrieves a portion of the liquid adhesive through at least one opening and the wiper removes portions of the liquid adhesive allowing the liquid adhesive to fall back into the body of the container and keep the removed portions of the liquid adhesive from dripping externally to the container.

An adhesive container comprising:
- a. a one piece body for holding a liquid adhesive, wherein the body has a bottom integrally connected to a wall encircling the bottom at an angle between 90 degrees to 110 degrees, and wherein the wall has a first wall end engaging the bottom and a second wall end opposite the first wall end, and a top detachably connected to the second wall end opposite the bottom having a channel and creating a first opening;
- b. a ring disposed in the first opening and connected to the top with at least two extensions forming at least a second opening and a third opening, wherein the second opening and the third opening allow the liquid adhesive to flow from at least one of the second opening and the third opening in the top, wherein the ring and the at least two extensions permit an applicator to rest external to the liquid adhesive without dripping the liquid adhesive externally on the adhesive container when not in use, and wherein each extension comprises at least one perforation allowing for easy tearing off of the ring from the top without the need for tools;
- and
