Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 2
Claim 1
Independent Claim 219 words
A plastic squeeze dispensing container for a chemical hair straightener comprising a body for receiving said hair straightener, a threaded neck at the upper end of said body having an enlarged mouth therethrough, a smooth annular shoulder defined between said neck and said body, a cap having an interiorly threaded cylindrical skirt engageable with the threads of said neck and a lower edge in sealing engagement with said shoulder, a top terminating one end of said skirt, an elongated spout extending outwardly from said top and having a conical outer surface and a central interior recess throughout the length thereof in communication with said mouth, said spout terminated at its outer end by a planar spreading surface angularly disposed at approximately 45° with the longitudinal axis of said spout, the terminal outlet of said interior recess being located at the axial center of said planar spreading surface, wherein it forms an oval dispensing outlet, and a second cap having a closed end, a skirt portion having interior sides in frictional engagement with the conical outer surface of said spout, a tongue which projects into and seals said interior recess, and an inner surface which mates with said planar spreading surface, said planar spreading surface having a surface area substantially greater than the cross-sectional area of said oval dispensing outlet.
