A dispensing package for dispensing liquid comprising an injection blow molded container having a flexible body and a neck comprising an outer wall and an inner wall. The inner wall defines a dispensing opening. A closure has a transverse wall, a peripheral skirt and a peripheral foot for engaging a flat surface. Interengaging means between the closure and the outer wall hold the transverse wall in sealing engagment with the inner wall of the neck for closing the dispensing opening. The closure is movable axially relative to the container between a first position sealingly engaging the neck of the container and a second position wherein fluid is permitted to flow to an outlet so that when the wall of the container is flexed a portion of the contents is dispensed. In one form, the outlet is in the skirt. In another form, the outlet is in the transverse wall.

A liquid dispensing container of the pliable pouch type having a spout of a serpentine shape extending from the pouch and toward a marginal edge of the container. The spout is unsealed by tearing off an end of the container which has a pre-cut slit therein to facilitate the tearing.

A delay flow water reservoir for a clothes dryer cabinet and method of use is provided. The delay flow reservoir has a container having an opening and a cap engaging the opening. The cap has a delay chamber with a drain opening, a seal covering the opening with first and second seal holes, and the delayed flow reservoir. The delay chamber fills with water from the container before draining into the clothes drying cabinets. The method of using the delay flow water reservoir permits the user to fill a container while in an upright position and then moving the delay flow water reservoir to an overturned dispense position. The method permits water to drain into the delay reservoir rather than out the drain opening while the user moves the reservoir into operational communication in the clothes drying cabinet.

A disposable oral liquid measure/dispenser for administering measured, pre-packaged dosages of liquid medication or food to human or animal patients comprises a one-piece structure made of a flexible thermoplastic, preferably by blow-molding. The container/dispenser has an upper cylindrical neck section for filling with liquid and sealable with a tamper-evident seal. A flexible bellows section extending downwards from the neck section joins a central fluid reservoir section, which is in turn joined at its lower end to a dispensing tube shaped like an inverted U-tube. The outer, outlet leg of the dispensing tube has a cap which is serverable by a scissors when it is desired to dispense the contents. Pushing downward on the upper surface of the sealing cap collapses the bellows, pressurizing the fluid storage reservoir section of the container. This in turn forces fluid upwards into the inner, inlet leg of the dispenser tube, and out the outlet leg into a patient's mouth.

An improvement in certain types of fluid containers is disclosed. The improvement is particularly directed to a certain type of squeezable fluid container that is made of a flexible plastic material. Such a fluid container defines a longitudinal axis and a cavity for containing a dispensable fluid. The fluid container has flexible side walls, a sealed bottom, a pair of spaced-apart sealed deformable side-edge margins, and a sealed deformable upper-edge margin which is unitary with an upper-edge portion of each of the side-edge margins and which defines a fluid-discharge passageway that communicates with the fluid cavity. The improvement comprises an indent, defined by at least one of the side-edge margins, for dividing the fluid cavity into two fluid chambers along the longitudinal axis. The two chambers are in fluid communication with each other. One of the two fluid chambers is located adjacent to, and is in fluid communicaton with, the fluid passageway. The transverse cross-sectional area of the one fluid chamber, which is in fluid communication with the fluid passageway, is greater than the transverse cross-sectional area of the fluid cavity in the vicinity of the indent. The indent is so located relative to the upper-edge margin that fluid communication between the fluid passageway and the one fluid chamber adjacent thereto is maintained when application of a predetermined fluid-discharging squeezing pressure upon the fluid container sidewalls causes deformation of the container side-edge margin in the vicinity of the indent.
