A plurality of sloped non-return blocks 221 are formed in the outer circumference forming the upper opening 22. Two pressure parts 26 are formed on two opposite sides of the main body 2, respectively. Each pressure portion 26 is connected to the upper end of the main body 2 by the connecting portion 25, it is surrounded by the outer groove (24). However, the connection 25 does not necessarily have to be formed over the pressure 26. The lower end of each opposite side of the main body 2 includes a slot 27 communicating with the compartment 21 of the main body 2. In order to prevent slipping while applying pressure to the pressure portion 26, each pressure portion 26 has a protrusion 261 protruding outward from its outer surface. Therefore, the user can squeeze the main body 2 by applying pressure to the pressure portion 26 using the thumb and the index finger. A squeeze vessel 4, such as a tube for containing a liquid such as an adhesive, is housed in the compartment 21, and such a vessel 4 can be squeezed out by applying pressure to the pressure portion 26.

The lower cap 3 comprises a plate 31 having the same size and area as the lower opening 23 of the body 2. Each of the two sides of the plate 31 includes an outer-projection tab 32 which, when the lower cap 3 is mounted, engages with one of the slots 27 to seal the lower end of the body 2. In order to prevent the squeeze container 4 from slipping or moving, a linear groove 33 is formed in the plate 31. In the preferred form shown, a linear groove 33 is formed between two parallel walls 34 above the plate 31. While providing the same function, the two ends of the parallel wall 34 can be connected and sealed by the two end walls.
