  • Patent number: 5636767
    Abstract: A container in the form of a bottle is especially designed to quickly dispense viscous liquids such as shampoo, conditioner or suntan lotion without waiting for drainage of the contents toward the dispensing valve or outlet. The bottle has an air inlet at the top and a liquid dispensing valve at one corner of the bottom. The bottom is preferably slanted toward the dispensing valve and the entire bottle is preferably in the form of a three-sided pyramid. When the bottle is used the air inlet cap at the top of the bottle is pulled up allowing air to enter the bottle through air inlet holes just under the air inlet cap to eliminate any vacuum lock effect upon the liquid inside the bottle. The dispensing valve at the bottom of the bottle is then pressed allowing the fluid to flow out into the hand of the user. The user never need wait for the fluid to reach the dispensing valve because it will be able to flow immediately out of the container once the dispensing valve is pressed.
