Asqueeze bottle is a type of container such as aplastic bottle for dispensing afluid, that is powered bysqueezing the container by exerting pressure with the user's hand. Its fundamental characteristic is that manual pressure applied to a resilient hollow body is harnessed to compress fluid within it and thereby expel the fluid through some form ofnozzle.
Typically, as withwash bottles and commercial resealable containers for many viscous fluids includingsauces andadhesives, it is the main body of the container that is squeezed. Whileatomizers fit the basic pattern of squeeze bottles, they differ from those typical examples in that the squeezed component compresses and propels air, whoseinteraction with a volatile liquid inside a rigid container then entrains and dispenses a mist of the liquid.
The relevantUnited States Patent Classification is: B65D1/32 Containers adapted to be temporarily deformed by external pressure to expel contents.[1]
