Abstract
A stable upright fluid dispensing container in which a fluid is dispensed from the top of the container while the container remains in an upright position. The bulk of the fluid always remains in the bottom of the container. A passageway tube and a plunger apply pressure on the fluid. Knobs on the plunger can include horizontal knob gears, vertical knob gears or push button rack gears. Pressure can also be applied to the fluid by a non-rotating threaded passageway tube having a fixed plunger and a rotating threaded knob. In flexible sealed containers pressure can be applied to the fluid by providing a flexible sealed container, a non-threaded passageway tube and one-way check valve. These features provide increased pressure such that the fluid will be forced to flow into a passageway tube through an entrance opening at the bottom of the passageway tube, up through the tube and out an exit opening. Further, once pressure is relaxed, the fluid flow will stop and the fluid will remain in the passageway tube. Thus, all the fluid in the container will be dispensed.
