A dispensing container comprising a molded plastic bottle and a cap. The molded plastic bottle has a top closed end, a cylindrical side wall, and a shoulder section at a dispensing end of the side wall. The shoulder has one or more indented portions which form the positioning lugs in the shoulder section. The plastic bottle also has a neck with external threads defining a mouth. The cap is selectively connected to the neck. The cap has an internally threaded cuff for interconnection with the external threads of the neck. The cap also has structure for dispensing of an enclosed material which is near the mouth. The cap is cup-shaped with a face and a cylindrical wall extending from the face to define an interior of the cap. When the cap is connected to the neck, the indented portions which form the positioning lugs in the shoulder are hidden from view within the interior of the cap.

Bottle

Combined bottle, dispensing closure and travel cap

The present invention relates to a dispensing container having an inner cavity for storing content to be dispensed, such as bath and beauty products. Content is dispensed when the container is squeezed through a dispensing valve. The container is supported in an inverted position so that the dispensing valve is at a base or dispensing end of the container. Accordingly, when the dispensing container is supported in an upright position by the base, bath products stored in the inner cavity gravitate toward the dispensing valve for immediate release. A travel cap seals the dispensing valve for transport. The travel cap is selectively attached to a closed end of the container when the container is in use and the dispensing end of the container to seal the dispensing valve for transport.

Base end dispensing container with travel cap

The present invention relates to a dispensing container having an inner cavity for storing content, such as bath products and shampoo, to be dispensed and an opening for dispensing content. The container is supported by a base having a face including a rim ridge about the periphery thereof to define an elevated support ridge and a recessed end surface. A drain slot extends through the rim ridge for allowing fluid trapped under the rim ridge to escape. The base of the container is formed of a base cap which is coupled to a bottle to form the container. The bottle includes a main container segment, a neck having a diameter sized smaller than the main container segment and a shoulder connecting the main container segment and neck. A wall extends from the face of the base cap to define an interior cavity for the base cap. The base cap is sized so that the neck and shoulder of the bottle fits into the interior cavity of the base cap and an exposed end of the wall of the base cap abuts the bottle and a base cavity is defined between the base cap and the bottle. A drainage hole is included through the face of the base cap to allow fluid to escape from the base cavity between the base cap and the bottle.
