Abstract

A bottle includes a reservoir comprising a top main opening, a threaded neck, and a shoulder adjacent the neck; a flexible, disc-shaped dispensing device comprising a central bottom riser; grooves extending from the riser, each groove having an outlet opening, top projecting members each having one end of the outlet opening terminated thereon, and a central recess with the projecting members therearound; an internally threaded retaining ring secured to the neck to fasten the dispensing device on the reservoir with the outlet openings being exposed; and a cap comprising a bottom post inserted into the recess when the cap is secured to the shoulder so as to flexibly deform both the recess and the riser to seal the main opening.

1 . A bottle comprising:
 a reservoir comprising an internal space, a top main opening communicating with the space, an upper threaded neck, and a stepped shoulder below and adjacent to the upper threaded neck;   a flexible, disc-shaped dispensing device comprising a central riser on the bottom; a plurality of grooves extending from the central riser, each groove having an outlet opening, a plurality of projecting members on the top, each projecting member having one end of the outlet opening terminated thereon, and a central recess with the projecting members formed therearound, the central recess being under the central riser;   a retaining ring comprising internal threads adapted to threadedly secure to the upper threaded neck to fasten the dispensing device disposed on the top of the reservoir with the outlet openings being exposed; and   a cap comprising a bottom clamping edge and a post extending downward from the center of the underside, the post being inserted into the central recess when the clamping edge is secured to the stepped shoulder so as to flexibly deform the central recess to press the central riser which sealingly engages with the main opening.   
     
     
         2 . The bottle of  claim 1 , wherein the number of the grooves is three, wherein one of the grooves is disposed around the central riser and the remaining two opposite grooves extend from the groove around the central riser, and wherein one of the two opposite grooves has a first branch and the other one of the two opposite grooves has a second branch with the outlet opening being disposed at end of either the first branch or the second branch. 
     
     
         3 . The bottle of  claim 1 , wherein the dispensing device further comprises a recessed shoulder on the edge, the recessed shoulder being clamped by the retaining ring when the retaining ring and the dispensing device are secured together.
