Abstract This disclosure pertains to a dispensing container utilized in dispensing semisolids such as pastes, creams, inks, and the like. The container has a cylindrical shape including a coverable mouth portion at one end. The marginal edges at the other end of the container are turned inwardly within the container and fasten to a circular sliding member. The sliding member acts as a piston within the walls of the container delineating a compartment therein filled with the semisolid to be dispensed through the closable opening of the container. A threaded rod is disposed coaxially aligned with the longitudinal axis of the container and is threaded within an opening at one end thereof to a spider spanning the dispensing opening. Portions of the threaded rod pass through a threaded opening in the circular sliding member. The other end of the threaded rod is secured to a knob, which when turned, causes the piston-like circular member to advance towards the dispensing opening of the container, forcing the semisolid contents thereof to be easily dispensed.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim
155 words
A dispensing container comprising a hollow cylindrical body portion having a first and second end, a closable dispensing opening disposed at the first end of the cylindrical body portion, a cylindrical plate disposed within the cylindrical body portion having marginal edges disposed in slidable touching engagement with the interior surface of the cylindrical body portion, the inner edges of the cylindrical body portion at the second end disposed and folded inwardly of the cylindrical body portion and fixedly secured to the marginal edges of the plate, a rod having a threaded portion threadedly engaging the first end of the cylindrical body portion, sealing means sealing an unthreaded portion of the rod passing through an opening in the plate, portions of the rod being exposed upon passing through the dispensing opening when the plate is urged towards the dispensing opening, and a knob fixedly secured to the end of the rod externally of the cylindrical plate.
