Compressible dispensing container having piercing prongs

Claim 1

A dispensing container for a flowable material housed therein which substantially completely fills the same, said container comprising sealed upper and lower end portions and a compressible body having a front and rear wall extending between said sealed end portions, said lower portion of said compressible body terminating in a partially collapsed area, a band having an upper and lower edge encircling a portion of said lower partially collapsed end portion area and secured thereto a piercing prong mounted on the upper edge of the said band and being directed towards the front wall only of said container adjacent said partially collapsed area, said piercing prong normally out of contact with the said front wall of said container but adapted to contact and pierce said container wall only upon application of a compressive force intermediate the upper and lower end portions of the container, said compressive force displacing the materials within the container thus causing the walls thereof to bulge outwardly whereupon said piercing prong will pierce the said wall at the partially collapsed area to form an exit opening therein and upon continued application of said compressive force on the walls of the container, the materials within the container will be expelled from therewithin through the said exit opening.
