DISPENSING CONTAINER WITH INTERIOR ACCESS BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

1. Field of the Invention

[002] The present invention relates to a dispensing container. More specifically, the present invention relates to a dispensing container that allows its users to access all of its interior surfaces.

2. Description of the Related Art

[003] Dispensing containers used for solids, gels, pastes, cosmetics, condiments, all forms of viscous materials and any non-liquid content, are typically small plastic containers that include a means for dispensing the content within said container . Various dispensing containers use the gravity or pressure applied by the user by squeezing the container so that the contents disperse from a small opening usually at the top of the container. Some of these dispensing containers can include a spray pump or a hand pump that sucks the content through a straw-type pipe and then emits the content into the user's hand, the user's food or the surfaces being cleaned by the user in relation to any soap or cleaning content. The typical dispensing container can vary in size, but it usually contains a few ounces up to 20 or 30 ounces of fluid inside the container for use. The standard hand pump uses a straw-type pipe that extends downwards into the dispensing container, often the bottom surface of the dispensing container is flat and therefore the pump-type dispenser can leave unused content inside the dispensing container. dispensation. Most of the unused content cannot be sucked through the tubing due to the positioning of the tube that extends into the dispensing container. The tube is often extended downwards in the center of the dispensing container and works

2/11 efficiently until a low level of content is left inside the dispensing container. The inner walls of the dispensing container are also left with unused content. Therefore, it would be advantageous to have a dispensing container that allows its users to access all of its interior surfaces, since its normal dispensing process can no longer disperse its remaining contents.

BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

[004] Applicants' invention comprises further improvements in the configuration of the finished dispensing container and in the manufacture of the finished dispensing container to provide its users with access to all of its interior surfaces. The purpose of a dispensing container with interior access is for when said dispensing container can no longer disperse the low level of content within its lower surface and interior walls through its normal dispensing process.

[005] The applicants' dispensing container with interior access (100) comprises: a container (100), wherein said container (100) is structured in two halves (1/2), an upper half (1) and a lower half (2), joined by an articulated hinge (3) to hold the two halves (1/2) together with the following combination of locking components in the lower half (2) of the dispensing container with interior access (100); a lower front groove protrusion (8), a lower left groove protrusion (12), a lower right groove protrusion (11) and lower radial groove projections (5) that serve as tongues and the following combination of locking components in the upper half (1) of the dispensing container with interior access (100); an upper left slot (4), an upper front slot (6), an upper right slot (10) and an upper radial slot ring (9) that serve as grooves; and additional locking and unlocking components, where the additional locking and unlocking components are distributed by

3/11 lower half of the dispensing container with interior access (100) composed of a lower front relief notch (15), a lower right relief notch (14), a lower left relief notch (13) and a seal ( 7); where the lower relief notches (13/14/15) allow fingers to cling under the upper grooves (4/6/10) for easy separation of the lower half (2) and the upper half (1) from the container dispensing with interior access (100). BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE VARIOUS VIEWS OF THE DESIGN (S)

[006] The present description, according to one or more modalities, is described in detail with reference to the following figures. The drawings are provided for illustrative purposes only and merely represent typical or exemplary modalities. These drawings are provided to facilitate the reader's understanding of the devices and methods and should not be considered as limiting the scope, scope or applicability of the invention. It should be noted that, for clarity and ease of illustration, these drawings are not necessarily made to scale.

[007] FIGS. 1a-c are drawings of a perspective, side and rear view of a dispensing container with interior access (100) with two halves (1/2), an upper half (1) and a lower half (2) in one position closed joined by means of an articulated hinge, together with the locking components (4/6/10) and the unlocking components (13/14/15) with an open inner rim mouth (16) and an area for a logo (17) according to the mode of this description; FIGS. 2a-f are drawings of perspective and side views of a dispensing container with interior access (100) with two halves (1/2) in an open position, according to the embodiment of the present description; FIGS. 3a-e are drawings of side views of a dispensing container with interior access in an open and closed position according to

4/11 with an embodiment of the present description; FIGS. 4a-d are drawings of perspective and side views of a dispensing container with interior access (100) in a locked position according to an embodiment of the present description.

[008] Some of the figures included here illustrate various modalities from different viewing angles.

[009] Although the attached descriptive text may refer to these views as "side" views, these references are purely descriptive and do not imply or require that all modalities be implemented or used in a specific spatial orientation, unless explicitly indicated the opposite.

[0010] The figures are not intended to be exhaustive or to limit the modalities to the precise form described. It should be understood that the various modalities can be practiced with modification and alteration, and that the invention is limited only by the claims and their equivalents.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0011] The modalities described here are exemplary. Descriptions in terms of these modalities are provided to allow several resources to be portrayed in the context of an exemplary application. As will be clear to a person skilled in the art, the invention can be implemented in different and alternative modalities without departing from the spirit or scope of the invention.

[0012] Unless otherwise defined, all terms used herein have the same meaning as is commonly understood by one skilled in the art to which this invention belongs.

[0013] The current dispensing container on the market lacks the design and functionality to release and allow full access to its viscous content. When the said dispensing container can no longer disperse its contents, the consumer is overwhelmed by not having full access to the

5/11 content you have purchased and the environment is overwhelmed by the possibility of contamination from discarded dispensing containers that may have remaining chemical content.

[0014] When the dispensing container of the current market can no longer disperse its remaining contents to the consumer, the consumer does not reap all the benefits of said product. If the consumer chooses to use alternative methods to access the remaining content that cannot be dispersed, such as: heating, opening or even placing the dispensing container in an inverted position so that the content can come to the surface, the consumer runs the potential risk of direct or indirect damage and time wasted without the guarantee of obtaining full access to said content or preserving it if the dispensing container is opened.

[0015] Another potential risk that the current dispensing container supports is environmental contamination. When consumers dispose of their dispensing containers that have chemical content remaining in said dispensing container, this can have a direct and indirect effect on the environment in general.

[0016] To achieve better use, the present invention relates to a dispensing container that improves the performance of a hand pump and a compression type dispensing container. The dispensing container according to the present invention uses unique characteristics inside and outside the container to ensure complete access to the contents through the use of a secure system to open, close, lock and seal inside the dispensing container.
