Abstract
A receptacle in which a collapsible fluid-holding container is disposed within an outer rigid container. The collapsible container comprises a flexible bag and a mouthpiece that is joined to the mouth of the rigid container. A valve in the outer container at a region distal from the mouth vents the region between the containers to enable the collapsible container to be filled with liquid. The valve also admits air between the containers to enable the inner container to collapse as fluid is dispensed. A pair of feet protrude laterally from one side of the receptacle to raise the bottom of the receptacle when it is horizontally disposed in a fluid-dispensing position. A method is disclosed for evacuating the outer container to facilitate the expansion of a collapsed flexible container.
