Abstract: A dispensing device for dispensing the contents of a container. The dispensing device for the container comprises a housing adapted to engage the container, a bias system containable within the housing, a cap capable of being extended outside the housing by the bias system, a restraint system for maintaining the cap in an open and closed position, and a guide system for preventing rotational movement by the restraint system. The contents can be dispensed from the inside to the outside of the container when the cap is in the open position, but not the closed position. By applying temporary downward pressure onto the top of the cap, the cap can be moved between the open and closed position. The push-button dispensing device, therefore, can be opened and closed using only one hand.
