Claims
- 1. A dispensing container comprising:
a substantially continuous shell having a dispensing opening; and a frangible cap fixed to said shell covering said dispensing opening cooperating with said shell to form an air pocket, the thickness of said cap selected such that said cap selectively ruptures under pressure applied to said cap at a lower pressure than the pressure required to cause said shell to rupture.
- 2. The dispensing container of claim 1 further comprising a tooth secured to said shell, said tooth movable with respect to said cap such that said tooth may be driven from a position spaced from said cap to a position in which said tooth pierces said cap.
- 3. A dispensing container comprising:
a deformable shell having a dispensing opening; a burstable film fixed to said shell covering said dispensing opening; and a frangible cap secured to said shell overlying said film.
- 4. The dispensing container of claim 3 wherein said cap is movable with respect to said shell, further comprising a tooth fixed to said cap positioned between said cap and said film such that said tooth ruptures said film when said cap is moved toward said dispensing opening.
- 5. The dispensing container of claim 4 wherein said cap includes a channel therethrough defining a spout for said dispensing opening.
- 6. The dispensing container of claim 3 wherein said cap is deformable with respect to said shell, further comprising a tooth fixed to said cap positioned between said cap and said film such that said tooth ruptures said film when said cap is deformed toward said dispensing opening.
- 7. The dispensing container of claim 6 wherein said cap includes a channel therethrough defining a spout for said dispensing opening.
- 8. The dispensing container of claim 3 wherein said cap and said film cooperate to form a sealed air pocket between said cap and said film.
- 9. The dispensing container of claim 3 wherein said shell and cap cooperate to form a non-geometric, three-dimensional sculptural design.
- 10. A dispensing container comprising:
a shell having a dispensing opening; a film fixed to said shell covering said dispensing opening; a frangible cap secured to said shell overlying said film, said cap displaceable with respect to said shell; and a tooth fixed to said cap positioned between said cap and said film such that said tooth ruptures said film when said cap is displaced toward said dispensing opening.
- 11. The dispensing container of claim 10 wherein said cap includes a channel therethrough defining a spout for said dispensing opening.
- 12. The dispensing container of claim 10 wherein said shell and cap cooperate to form a non-geometric, three-dimensional sculptural design.
- 13. A dispensing container comprising:
a shell having a dispensing opening; a film fixed to said shell covering said dispensing opening; a cap secured to said shell overlying said film, said cap deformable with respect to said shell, said cap including a hollow channel therethrough defining a spout for said dispensing opening; and a tooth fixed to said cap positioned between said cap and said film such that said tooth ruptures said film when said cap is deformed toward said dispensing opening.
- 14. The dispensing container of claim 13 wherein said hollow channel extends through said tooth.
- 15. The dispensing container of claim 13 wherein said shell and cap cooperate to form a non-geometric, three-dimensional sculptural design.
- 16. A dispensing container comprising:
a shell having a dispensing opening; a film fixed to said shell covering said dispensing opening; a cap secured to said shell overlying said film, said cap deformable with respect to said shell; and a hollow tooth fixed to said cap positioned between said cap and said film such that said tooth ruptures said film when said cap is deformed toward said dispensing opening, said cap including a hollow channel therethrough extending through said tooth defining a spout for said dispensing opening.
- 17. The dispensing container of claim 16 wherein said shell and cap cooperate to form a non-geometric, three-dimensional sculptural design.
- 18. A dispensing container comprising:
a deformable shell having a dispensing opening; a burstable film fixed to said shell covering said dispensing opening, said film thickness selected such that said film selectively ruptures under pressure applied to said deformable shell at a lower pressure than the pressure required to cause said deformable shell to rupture; and a frangible cap secured to said shell overlying said film forming a sealed air pocket between said cap and said film.
- 19. The dispensing container of claim 18 wherein said shell and cap cooperate to form a non-geometric, three-dimensional sculptural design.
