- a container according to the invention indicated generally by the reference numeral 1, and comprising a container body 2 having an outlet (not shown) connected to a dispensing nozzle 3.
- the container 1 is adapted to provide a transverse bellows action to expel product from the dispensing outlet by means of four collapsible formations 4 formed in a lower portion of the container 1, each formation 4 comprising a v-shaped depression 5 which is vertically disposed along lower front and rear walls 6,7 of the container, the vertical depressions being connected by means of a corresponding depression 8 formed in the base.
- the depressions 5 in the front and rear walls 6,7 taper towards each upper end thereof.
- product is dispensed form the container 1 by inverting the container and compressing a lower portion of the container in the direction of the arrows marked A, whereby the portion of the container will partially collapse due to the collapsible formations 4.
- the container Upon releasing the compression pressure, the container will expand to its initial shape.
- a further embodiment of the invention which in this instance comprises a dual compartment container, indicated generally by the reference numeral 10, in which parts similar to those of the previous embodiment are assigned the same reference numerals.
- the dual compartment container 10 comprises a first and second compartment 11, 12 respectively, joined by means of a connecting web 13, each compartment having a bellows formation similar to that described for the previous embodiment .
- Each compartment includes a dispensing opening (not shown) , both of which openings are connected to a common dispensing nozzle 14.
- the first and second compartments 11, 12 and the connecting web 13 are injection molded in one piece. The use of this embodiment is similar to the previous embodiment described above .
