Abgabebehälter

A container 6, designed to be easily used by children and the elderly, comprises a body 22 with recesses 15,16 on front and rear sides 13,14 defining first and second panels 17,18, and a neck 3 defining an opening 1. The container may be made of a mixture of different density polyethylenes, and may be used as a dispenser for liquids, solids such as talcum powder (fig 8), foams, or aerosols (fig 7). The container may have a closure with a flat suface that allows the container to be stored in an inverted position (fig 14), or alternatively, the container may be kept inverted by a pair of supports (71, 72, fig 13) that cooperate with the recesses of the body. The closure may be in the form of a press-fit, snap-on, snap and turn, or an oriented thread lid, and the container may also be provided with finger grips (25, 26, fig 3A). A valve (80, fig 15A) may also be provided that has a threshold pressure below which the contents of the container will not be dispensed, but which can be easily activated by children or the elderly.
