Medicament dispensing container closure assembly

Abstract

A container-closure assembly comprising a container having a body portion and a neck finish having external threads, a cap of cup-like form having a top and a skirt with internal threads to mate with the container threads for application and removal of the cap from the container, an elongated tubular dispensing member having a discharge opening at one end and mounting a bulbous member at the other end to draw liquid products in the container into the dispensing member, the body portion of the container having a downwardly dished bottom defining the lowest point at about the center of the bottom and means defining a series of circumferentially spaced protrusions projecting downwardly from the bottom wall defining support pads for supporting the container on a flat surface, the lowest point of the pads disposed in a common plane transverse to the longitudinal axis of the container and wherein the peak or apex of the slanted bottom wall is disposed above said common plane.

What is claimed is:  
     
         1 . A container-closure assembly comprising a container having a body portion and a neck finish having external threads, a cap of cup-like form having a top and a skirt with internal threads to mate with the container threads for application and removal of the cap from the container, an elongated tubular dispensing member having a discharge opening at one end and mounting a bulbous member at the other end to draw liquid products in the container into the dispensing member, the body portion of the container having a downwardly dished bottom defining the lowest point at about the center of the bottom and means defining a series of circumferentially spaced protrusions projecting downwardly from the bottom wall defining support pads for supporting the container on a flat surface, the lowest point of the pads disposed in a common plane transverse to the longitudinal axis of the container and wherein the peak or apex of the slanted bottom wall is disposed above said common plane.  
     
     
         2 . A container for liquid products having a body portion and a neck finish having external threads for a cap of cup-like form having a top and skirt with internal threads to mate with the container threads for application and removal of the cap from the container, the body portion of the container having a downwardly dished bottom defining the lowest point at about the center of the bottom and means defining a series of circumferentially spaced protrusions projecting downwardly from the bottom wall defining support pads for supporting the container on a flat surface, the lowest point of the pads disposed in a common plane transverse to the longitudinal axis of the container and wherein the peak or apex of the slanted bottom wall is disposed above said common plane.  
     
     
         3 . A container as claimed in  claim 2  wherein said pads are disposed in a circular array and are equi-spaced.
