BACKGROUND - DESCRIPTION OF THE PREVIOUS TECHNIQUE There is a variety of means to open a container most of the opening means are in the form of a screw-in lid or a press-fitted lid. Some opening means are in the form of a fragile seal or fluted line of the container which will allow the contents of the container to be released by breaking the fragile seal or the container in the fluted line. All of these opening means are attached to the container externally, such as the screw cap and the pressure-tight cover, or are formed as part of the container, such as the fragile seal and the score line in the container. None of the opening means is designed to be enclosed within the container to seal a liquid in the container and still allow the release of liquids easily and quickly. The availability of effective and easy-to-use opening means for an elongated container with a small cross-sectional area. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention is an elongated sealed container with self-contained opening means completely enclosed within the container for releasing the sealed liquid within the container. The enclosed opening means can be operated through compression or bending of the elongated sealed container at or near the enclosed opening means. Once the opening means are opened, the sealed liquid inside the elongated sealed container can be released for application. When the elongate sealed container has a small cross section so that when the liquid inside the container can not be released due to its surface tension, a guide member can be used to increase the capillary action and to overcome the surface tension of the liquid to release the liquid from the elongated sealed container. There are no loose parts that can be lost and all the components are completely sealed inside the container.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED MODALITY Figure 1 shows the preferred embodiment of the sealed container with enclosed opening means. In the preferred embodiment, the sealed container with enclosed opening means comprises an elongate tubular housing 1 with a sealed end 2 and an open end 3. A liquid 4 is enclosed within the elongated tubular housing 1 near the sealed end 2. Means of opening 5 are enclosed within the elongated tubular housing 1 sealing the liquid 4 within the elongate tubular housing 1. The opening means 5 can be operated either by compression or by bending the elongate tubular housing 1 on or near the enclosed opening means 5. When the elongated tubular housing 1 has a small cross section so that the liquid within it can not be released simply by opening the opening means 5 due to its surface tension, a guide member 6, 7 can be used to increase the capillary action and to overcome the surface tension of the liquid 4 in order to release the liquid 4 desd and the elongated tubular housing 1 as shown in Figures 2, 4 and 5. One embodiment of the enclosed opening means 5 is shown in Figure 3 wherein the enclosed means 5 comprises a cylinder 8 with an external diameter approximately that of the inner diameter of the elongate tubular housing 1 defining a small liquid path from the open end 3 of the elongate tubular housing 1 to the liquid 4. The end near the liquid 4 has an elongated projection 9 that is smaller in diameter than the cylindrical body of the enclosed opening means 5 and is detachable from the cylindrical body of the enclosed opening means 5. The elongated projection 9 seals the small liquid path in the cylinder 8 and prevents the liquid 4 in the elongated tubular housing 1 from being released to through the enclosed opening means 5. When the elongated tubular housing 1 is flexed near the junction between the elongated projection 9 and The cylindrical body of the enclosed opening means 5, the elongated projection 9 will be separated from the cylindrical body and the small liquid path is exposed so that the liquid 4 is released from the elongate tubular housing 1 through the opening means 5. Figure 4 shows another embodiment of the sealed container with enclosed opening means. In this embodiment, the sealed container with enclosed opening means comprises an elongated flexible tubular housing 1 with a small cross section and with a sealed end 2 and an open end 3. A liquid 4 is enclosed within the elongated tubular housing 1 near the end sealing 2. Encased opening means 5 are placed inside the elongate tubular housing 1 by sealing the liquid 4 inside the elongate tubular housing 1. The enclosed opening means 5 comprise a hollow cylindrical body 10 with an open end 11 towards the liquid 4 and a end sealed with an elongate member 12 extending away from the hollow cylindrical body 10 towards the open end 3 of the elongated tubular flexing housing 1 and terminating near the open end 3 of the elongated flexible tubular housing 1. A fragile section 13, the which can be formed by means of a grooved line on the external surface of the body or hollow cylindrical 10, is formed in the hollow cylindrical body 10 near the sealed end of the hollow cylindrical body 10. When the tubular housing 1 is flexed at or near the brittle section 13 of the hollow cylindrical body 10 of the opening means 5, the sealed end of the hollow cylindrical body 10 will be separated from the open end 11 of the hollow cylindrical body 10 resulting in a liquid flow path from the liquid 4 to the open end 3 of the elongated tubular housing 1. Due to the cross section small elongated flexural tubular housing 1, the liquid 4 will not flow freely out of the tubular housing 1 due to the surface tension of the liquid 4. The liquid 4 can be selectively released from the tubular housing 1 by compression of the portion of the tubular housing 1 containing the liquid 4 for forcing the liquid 4 towards the elongated member 12. Once the liquid 4 reaches the elongate member 12, the elongated member 12 will increase the capillary action of the liquid 4 to overcome the surface tension of the liquid 4 within the tubular housing 1 so as to allow it to flow freely out of the tubular housing 1. If immediate release of the liquid 4 is desired to the opening of the opening means 5, a second elongate member 14 can be fixed to the sealed end 2 of the tubular housing 1 and extending to near the open end 11 of the cylindrical body 10 as shown in Figure 5 to increase the capillary action of the liquid 4 to overcome r the surface tension of the liquid 4 in order to allow the liquid 4 to be released immediately from the tubular housing 1 upon opening the opening means 5 without being compressed. Figure 6 shows another embodiment of the enclosed opening means 5. In this embodiment, the enclosed opening means 5 comprise a deformable cup 15 with a diameter approximately that of the internal diameter of the tubular housing 1 and a length that is greater than the diameter . The deformable cup 15 is inserted into the tubular housing 1 to seal the liquid 4 within the tubular housing 1. As shown in Figure 7, when flexing or compressing the tubular housing 1 at or near the opening means 5, the cup deformable 15 is deformed and a liquid flow path is exposed in order to allow the liquid 4 to be released from the tubular housing 1. A deformable sphere such as a plastic hollow balloon with approximately that of the inner diameter of the tubular housing 1 may be used instead of the deformable cup 15. By flexing or compressing the tubular housing 1 in the opening means 5, the deformable sphere will be deformed and a liquid flow path is exposed in order to allow the liquid 4 to be released from the tubular housing 1. Figure 8 shows another embodiment of the enclosed opening means 5. In this embodiment, the enclosed opening means 5 comprise a plug 16 that is fracturable in two parts in a fracture surface 17 when flexed. The plug 16 has one or more holes 18 extending from each end of the plug 16 past the fracture surface 17 without passing through the other end of the plug 16. As shown in Figure 9, flexing of the tubular housing 1 at or near the plug 16, the plug 16 separates into two sections on the fracture surface 17 and one or more liquid flow paths are formed leading from the liquid 4 to the open end 3 of the tubular housing 1. The plug 16 also it can be fracturable or separable when it is rotated so that the tubular housing can be rotated in the opening means 5 in order to open the liquid flow path. The tubular housing can be formed by means of two sections which are threaded together in the plug 16 so that rotation of the tubular housing will separate the plug 16 into two parts. Figure 10 shows another embodiment of the enclosed opening means 5 wherein the enclosed opening means 5 comprises a cylindrical section 19 with a reduced outer diameter waist section 20 and two ends 21 with external diameters approximately as that of the internal diameter tubular housing 1. The cylindrical section 19 has a through hole 22 in its axial direction that forms a liquid flow path from the liquid 4 to the open end 3 of the tubular housing 1. An elongate member 23 is fixed to the sealed end 2 and which extends into the hole 22 in the cylindrical section 19, thereby sealing the orifice 22 and the liquid flow path. When the tubular housing 1 is flexed at or near the cylindrical section 19, the elongated member 23 will be pulled out of the hole 22 in the cylindrical section 19 and the liquid flow path from the liquid 4 to the open end 3 of the tubular housing 1 is exposed as shown in Figure 11. The liquid 4 can then be released from the tubular housing 1. Figure 12 shows another embodiment of the enclosed opening means 5 wherein the enclosed opening means 5 comprise two circular discs 24 , 25 with approximately the same cross section as the internal diameter of the tubular housing 1 and with sufficient thickness to prevent them from being released inside the tubular housing 1. Each circular disk 24, 25 has one or more holes 26, 27 therethrough placed therein. so that when two circular discs 24, 25 are placed close to each other in the tubular housing 1, the holes 26, 27 in each disc are circular ar will be covered by the other disk so all the holes 26, 27 in both circular discs 24, 25 are sealed by the other circular disc. When the tubular housing 1 is flexed at or near the two circular discs 24, 25, the deformation of the tubular housing 1 will cause the two circular discs 24, 25 to separate from each other and a liquid flow path will result from the liquid 4 to the open end 3 of the tubular housing 1 as shown in Fig. 13. The spacing between the two circular discs 24, 25 can also be formed by rotating the tubular housing if the tubular housing can be rotated in the opening means 5 to open the flow path of liquid. The tubular housing can be formed by means of two sections which are screwed together at the interface between the two circular discs 24, 25 so that the rotation of the tubular housing will separate the two circular discs 24, 25. Figure 14 shows another embodiment of the enclosed opening means 5 wherein the enclosed opening means 5 comprises a cylindrical section 28 with a length sufficient to prevent it from rotating inside the tubular housing 1. The cylindrical section 28 has a diagonal groove 29 formed diagonally from one end to the other with a thin section of material 30 connecting the two halves of the cylindrical section 28 and sealing the liquid 4 in the tubular housing 1 behind the cylindrical section 28. When the cylindrical section 28 is compressed by crushing the tubular housing 1, the two halves of the cylindrical section 28 will slide against each other and press together thereby reducing the cross section of the cylindrical section 28. A liquid flow path is therefore formed between the outside of the cylindrical section 28 and the inner wall of the tubular housing 1 in order to allow the liquid 4 to be released from the tubular housing 1 Figure 16 shows another embodiment of the enclosed opening means 5 wherein the enclosed opening means 5 comprise a section of material 31 with approximately the same diameter near its middle section 32 as the internal diameter of the tubular housing 1. The first end 33 of the material section 31 is formed in the form of two tips that will act as handles where opposing forces can be applied by compressing the two tips toward each other. The second end 34 of the material section 31 has a smaller cross section than the inner diameter of the tubular housing 1 and a fracture surface 35 is formed from the second end 34 to near where the two tips at the first end 33 are formed. unite When the two tips are compressed towards each other by crushing the tubular housing 1, the material section 31 will fracture in two. halves along the fracture surface 35 along its longitudinal direction and opens a liquid flow path through the material section 31 so as to allow release of the liquid 4 from the tubular housing 1 as shown Figure 17 shows another embodiment of the enclosed opening means 5 wherein the enclosed opening means 5 comprises an elongated cup 36 with a diameter approximately that of the internal diameter of the tubular housing 1 and a length that is greater than the diameter. The closed end 37 of the elongated cup 36 is formed in an elongate projection with a fracture line 38 formed around the elongated projection positioned along the elongate cup 36 at a point where when the elongate projection is fractured, an opening will be formed in the closed end 37 of the elongate cup 36. The elongated cup 36 is inserted into the tubular housing 1. As shown in Figure 19, flexing of the tubular housing 1 near the closed end 37 of the elongated cup 36, the elongate projection will fracture from the elongate cup 36 in the fracture line 38 and a liquid flow path is exposed in order to allow the liquid 4 to be released from the tubular housing 1. Although the above description contains many specific characteristics, these will not be considered as limiting the scope of the invention but only as providers of illustrations of some of the currently preferred embodiments of this invention. Therefore, the scope of the invention will be determined by means of the appended claims and their legal equivalents, rather than by the examples provided.

A sealed container with enclosed opening means according to claim 27, characterized in that the enclosed opening means comprise a cylindrical section with a reduced outer diameter waist section and two ends with external diameters approximately that of the internal diameter of the housing tubular wherein the cylindrical section defines a through hole in its axial direction forming a liquid flow path from the liquid to the open end of the tubular housing and an elongate member fixed to the sealed end of the tubular housing and extending into the orifice in the cylindrical section thus sealing the orifice and the liquid flow path wherein when the tubular housing is flexed or pulled into or near the cylindrical section the elongated member will be pulled out of the hole in the cylindrical section and the path of liquid flow from the liquid towards the open end of the tubular housing is exposed. 35. A sealed container with enclosed opening means according to claim 27, characterized in that the enclosed opening means comprise two circular discs with approximately the same cross section as the internal diameter of the tubular housing and with sufficient thickness to prevent them from loosening within the tubular housing wherein each circular disk has one or more holes therethrough positioned so that when the two circular discs are placed close to each other in the tubular housing the holes in each circular disc will be covered by the other disc of so that all the holes in both circular discs are sealed by the other circular disc and when the tubular housing is flexed in or near the two circular discs the deformation of the tubular housing will cause the two circular discs to separate from each other and will have result in a liquid flow path. 36. A sealed container with enclosed opening means according to claim 35, characterized in that the spacing between the circular discs is formed by rotating the tubular housing. 37. A sealed container with enclosed opening means according to claim 27, characterized in that the enclosed opening means comprise a cylindrical section with sufficient length to prevent it from rotating inside the tubular housing and with a diagonal groove formed diagonally from one end to the other with a thin section of material connecting the two halves of the cylindrical section and sealing the liquid in the tubular housing behind the cylindrical section where when the cylindrical section is compressed by crushing the tubular housing the two halves of the section Cylindrical will slide against each other and press together thereby reducing the cross-section of the cylindrical section to form a liquid flow path between the outside of the cylindrical section and the inner wall of the tubular housing in order to allow the liquid be released from the tub housing ular. 38. A sealed container with enclosed opening means in accordance with claim 27, characterized in that the enclosed opening means comprise a section of material with approximately the same diameter near its middle section as the internal diameter of the tubular housing with a first end of the material section in the form of two tips that will act as handles in where opposing forces can be applied by compression of the two tips towards each other and a second end of the section of material with a cross section smaller than the internal diameter of the tubular housing and a fracture surface formed from the second end to near where the two tips at the first end meet so that when the two points are compressed towards one another by means of crushing the tubular housing, the section of material will fracture in two halves along the fracture surface along its longitudinal direction and opens a liquid flow path through the section of material in order to allow the release of the liquid from the tubular housing. 39. A sealed container with enclosed opening means according to claim 27, characterized in that the enclosed opening means comprises an elongated cup with a diameter approximately that of the internal diameter of the tubular housing and a length that is greater than the internal diameter with a closed end terminating in an elongate projection with a fracture line formed around the elongate projection positioned along the elongated cup at a point where the elongated projection is fractured an aperture will be formed at the closed end of the elongated cup by so that the elongate cup is inserted into the tubular housing to seal the liquid within the tubular housing wherein upon flexing of the tubular housing near the closed end of the elongate cup the elongate protrusion will fracture from the elongated cup in the fracture line and a liquid flow path is exposed in order to allow the liquid be released from the tubular housing.
