Abstract: A receptacle for dosifying granulated, pulverulent or liquid products includes a product containing receptacle and a hollow cover which houses a solid closure member normally spring urged to a closed position. By inverting the receptacle and imparting a shaking motion to it, the solid closure member moves away from its closed position against the tension of the spring to an open position thus permitting measured amounts of the product to be dispensed as continued opening and closing of the closure member occurs relative to the motion imparted to the receptacle by the user. The inner portion of the solid closure member is preferably provided with at least one annular recess which receives the product when the receptacle is inverted and aids in dispensing a given quantity thereof. The retraction of the solid closure member by the spring causes it to forcibly engage the adjacent edge of the hollow cover, thus breaking up any lumps of the product which may be present at the discharge opening.

Abstract: A liquid dispensing container is provided with a pressure controlled flexible outlet which is opened and closed by applying and releasing pressure on a flexible area in the cover of the container above the level of the liquid and opposite the flexible outlet of the cover. An increase of pressure within the container by pressure on the flexible area causes automatic opening of a resilient conduit in the outlet permitting liquid to pass therethrough while a decrease of pressure in the container causes the resilient conduit to close and seal the container. A collection spout surrounds the resilient conduit and any dripping of liquid occurring when the contents of the container are being dispensed is collected in the spout and forced back into the container through a valve controlled orifice when pressure on the flexible area of the container is released.
