Publication number: 20010035427Abstract: A dispensing container includes container walls formed from a stiff deformable material to define a shell enclosing a chamber. A small dispensing opening provides access to the chamber. Optionally, the container has a separate fill opening. A protective cap covers the dispensing opening. Optionally, the cap forms an air pocket over the dispensing opening. In use, the cap is ruptured by tearing the cap or by applying pressure to the cap to burst the air pocket. The container may additionally include a thin film between the cap and the dispensing opening to prevent leakage when the cap is ruptured. The thin film is ruptured by applying pressure to the container contents by squeezing the container. Alternatively, a tooth is disposed between the cap and the film such that displacement of the cap causes the tooth to rupture the film.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 24, 2001Publication date: November 1, 2001Inventors: Gary Mawby, Kenneth Kroll
