Bottle For Upright And Inverted Use

摘要

A liquid dispensing container is provided having a cap assembly preventing dispensing of fluid therefrom prior to both an alignment of markers and a pivoting of a nozzle which helps prevent use by children lacking dexterity and knowledge for achieving concurrent positioning of the nozzle and markers. A tamper alarm prior to purchase is provided by a pillar and tab preventing dispensing until removed, which if removed, provide a visually discernable alarm to tampering with the container. The container is capable of inverted dispensing with upward projection of fluid by the pivoting nozzle engaged with a cap assembly.

1. A liquid dispensing container, comprising:
a container having a sidewall surrounding an interior cavity; an aperture at a first end of said container communicating with said interior cavity; a cap assembly having an circular collar having a nozzle pivotally engaged at a first end of said collar; a central portion of said nozzle positioned within a circumference of said collar and an projecting portion extending from said central portion a distance outside said circumference of said collar; a fluid pathway running through said nozzle from a communication with said aperture, to a dispensing aperture at a distal end of said projecting portion; said collar rotationally engaged at said first end of said container; said collar positionable from a safety position to a dispensing position by rotation thereof to an alignment of a first marker on said collar with a second marker fixed in position upon said container; said nozzle fixed in a first position with said collar in said safety position; said fluid pathway running through said nozzle being blocked with said nozzle in said first position; said nozzle pivotable from said first position, to a second position, with said collar in said dispensing position; and pivoting said nozzle to said second position opening said fluid pathway running through said nozzle, whereby said fluid is prevented from exiting said dispensing aperture until both said collar is rotated to reach said alignment of said first marker and said second marker, and, said nozzle is then pivoted to said second position.
