There is a tube container that is resistant to water infiltration into the cavity between the head and the cap. The tube container has a body wall and a head. The body wall defines a chamber therein. The head has a shoulder, which has an orifice therethrough in communication with the chamber. The shoulder has a ridge extending therefrom adjacent its periphery. The ridge substantially blocks the infiltration of water when the cap is secured to the head.

Cap for a tubular dispenser

A tubular dispensing container has a head whose shoulder is joined to a tubular body. The head and shoulder can be thin because they are provided with a plurality of ribs that extend axially from the neck to the lower end of the shoulder and rigidify the head. A head for a tubular dispensing container is provided having the above-mentioned ribs. Apparatus for forming the head has male or female tooling with axially grooves formed therein to form the ribs on the inside or outside surface of the head. Methods involve flowing moldable material along the grooves to provide the lower end of the shoulder of the head with enough moldable material at elevated temperature and pressure to form a good bond of the shoulder with the tubular body.

Method for forming an improved container

Disclosed is a container for receiving contents from another container. The container has a receptacle and a head. The receptacle has a chamber therein. The head has a neck. The neck has a receiving orifice therein and a bore therethrough. The receiving orifice communicates with the chamber through the bore. The neck further has an inner surface contiguous to the receiving orifice and/or the bore. The inner surface has a plurality of splines extending therefrom and generally directional to the longitudinal extension of the neck. Further disclosed is a tube container. Still further disclosed is a method for introducing the contents of one container into another container.
