A composition container is described. The composition container includes an interior portion to contain a composition. A recess along a back surface of the composition container promotes the collapse of the composition container along the back surface. A number of reinforcing ribs on the front surface of the composition container promote the preservation of the front surface of the composition container during collapse of the composition container.

Bottle

Soap dispenser collapsible bottle

A movable valve for a valve assembly is described. The present valve comprises a plug attached to an immovable mounting flange by at least two non-resilient spider-like legs comprising first and second rigid leg segments that meet at hinging apexes positioned higher than the plug. The plug resists vertical displacement by virtue of the stiff leg segments having appropriately configured curvature and length. Actuation of the valve is through vertical displacement of the plug against the biasing forces, wherein displacement of the plug causes bowing of the legs without any stretching or change in the length of the leg segments.

A closure for a non-refillable bottle is provided wherein the closure is designed to break apart into at least two portions when an attempt is made to pry the closure from the bottle. The breakage is directed across a frangible demarcation that is configured such that breakage of the closure into pieces does not compromise the seal of the closure on the bottle.
