<p>A hand holdable, disposable dispensing container (14) of low cost construction, generally of plastic, for the dispensing of fluent, generally viscid materials, including processed foodstuff such as ketchup, relish, mustard and jams; creams, handcreams, lotions, colloidal solids such as toothpaste and the like, has a base portion (18) on which the container (14) is free standing, and a valved dispensing outlet (34) located on a lower side face of the container (14), in underhung protected relation adjacent to the base (18), to permit downward dispensing of selected quantities of the contents without having to resort to inversion of the container. The container (14) incorporates a self-venting pressure balance capability. The container content is always located in the lower part of the container, due to an inner inclined wall (28) and the influence of gravity for immediate dispensing, by squeezing of the container walls (16), and making possible the dispensing of substantially all of the contents so that virtually none is wasted and thrown out with the container (14).</p> |
