Containers, particularly insulated containers are disclosed consisting essentially of a container body filled with a pump mechanism and featuring a flexible bell shaped member, immersed in liquid and equipped with disc valve. This bell shaped member is compressed whenever the actuating button is pressed, thereby forcing the liquid contents of the container to flow out through the pipe up to the pouring spout. A flexible tube is automatically squeezed shut when the bottom returns to its uppermost position.
REFERENCE TO THE RELATED APPLICATION
This application is a continuation-in-part of my copending application Ser. Nos. 342,970 now U.S. Pat. No. 4,506,812 and Ser. No. 342,987 now U.S. Pat. No. 4,440,328 both filed Jan. 26, 1982 and Ser. No. 339,547 now U.S. Pat. No. 4,429,813 filed Jan. 15, 1982, all of which are relied on and incorporated by reference.
A unit (1) for packaging and dispensing a liquid or semi-liquid product includes a body (10) with an axis X, forming a reservoir (12) for the liquid or semi-liquid product, the reservoir (12) being surmounted by a pump (30) actuable by an actuating element (34). The product emerges through at least one opening arranged in an outlet element (9) connected to the pump (30) by a conduit (41) forming a flexible connection. The outlet element (9) is held substantially immovably in position on a fixed portion (51) of the body (10) surmounting the reservoir (12), the actuating element (34) being independently mounted relative to the fixed portion (51) of the body (10).
