A dispenser for liquids such as liquid soap or the like, wherein a container having a collapsible sidewall is coupled to a dispensing member mounted on the upper open end of the container. A tube places the container in fluid communication with a tubular passage at the lower end of the member. One embodiment of the member is funnel-shaped and has an open top for engagement by the hand for collapsing of the sidewall as the hand taps or forces the member downwardly to force liquid through the tube, into the interior of the member and onto the hand in a jet or spurt action, the excess liquid dripping from the hand back into the container through the tube. Another embodiment of the member is a laterally extending tube having a nozzle at its outer end. Several embodiments of the funnel-shaped member can be integral with each other if molded in a single process.

A liquid dispenser comprising: a container having a corrugated sidewall and a top opening, said container adapted to contain a liquid to be dispensed; a dispensing member having an open top and mounted on the container adjacent to the top opening thereof, the member having an upper hand-engageable rim extending about said open top thereof, a fluid passage therethrough centrally disposed at the bottom thereof for communicating with said container through said top opening, and an inner surface having a downward slope extending throughout a major part of the distance between the rim and the fluid passage and terminating at said fluid passage, said rim having a transverse dimension substantially corresponding to at least a major part of the transverse dimension of a user\s palm; and a tube extending downwardly from the fluid passage into the container below the liquid level thereof, said sidewall being collapsed when a sudden downward force is exerted by the hand while substantially covering the rim of the member to thereby reduce the volume of the container to cause a portion of the liquid to be forced upwardly through the tube and the fluid passage of the member and out of said fluid passage in the form of a jet onto the hand, the size and shape of the member being sufficient to permit substantially all excess liquid gravitating from and deflected by the hand to be returnable to said flange passage, said tube and the container by movement downwardly along said inner surface.
