  • Publication number: 20110101034
    Abstract: A fluid dispenser and a mold used for manufacturing the fluid dispenser are disclosed. A baffle inside the fluid dispenser extends from an area on the bottom of the fluid dispenser toward a first side wall and away from a second opposite side wall forming an acute angle with the bottom. A gap between the baffle and the first side wall allows fluids to move freely from one side of the baffle to the other permitting emptying most of the residual fluid through a dip tube disposed into the bottom corner with the second side wall. The mold contains two cavities each disposed within a block configured to close over a molten plastic parison. Each cavity comprises a blade configured in a way that closing the mold produces the baffle inside the container.
