A container suitable for dispensing dispensable moisture sensitive curable products such as a CA with a container body which forms an internal reservoir for holding the product a dispensing aperture provided in the container body. Opposing side wall have a curved profile along its path between the front and rear walls which is arranged to regulate a compressibility ratio between the compressive force regulated to move at least one of the front and rear walls toward the other and the distance compressed so that a yield point is not reached, within a compressive dispensing range of movement of said at least one wall, beyond which the container becomes substantially easier to compress. The dispensing force required is predictable and regular while a desired flexibility is achieved.

Container for holding and dispensing a curable product

A dispensing nozzle for a container with a long tapered nozzle body has a narrow tapered dispensing end and a wider base end. A passage for fluid runs from the base end to the dispensing end and through an outlet. The dispensing nozzle has a removable cap that fits over the dispensing nozzle when in the closed position which closes the dispensing nozzle's outlet with a penetrating plug located on the interior of the cap. The cap has a narrow closed end that has the penetrating plug on its interior side and the cap has a wider open end. The cap fits onto the nozzle in a tight fit when closed. The invention contemplates that the fluid in the container is strong glue, so that hardened glue makes removing the cap difficult. To solve this problem, the nozzle and the cap have two distinct sets of ramps that provide the initial separating force to twist the cap with respect to the nozzle in order to remove the cap easily and allow dispensation.

Dispensing nozzle and cap

The invention relates to an outer container for holding an inner container in particular where the inner container has a sensitive product. The outer container comprises at least one of a moveable display board; retaining formations for retaining a hygroscopic element; or a stand for gripping the base of the inner container to retain it in an upright position. The invention also relates to a combination pack comprising the inner container retained in the outer container, particularly where the inner container holds a moisture sensitive product such as an adhesive.
