A container assembly structured to store and selectively dispense and/or apply liquid material contents from a storage chamber in a manner which eliminates waste by enabling substantially the entire quantity of liquid material product to be removed from the storage chamber of the container regardless of viscosity of the product. The container incorporates resilient material side walls which may be disposed into a constricted position thereby forcing product within the storage chamber into contact with an applicator assembly for selective and/or precise dispensing and application of the product.

A container and dispenser assembly designed for the storage and selective application of a liquid material product, said assembly comprising: a. a container body having an elongated configuration and a hollow interior portion extending along a majority of the length thereof, said hollow interior portion defining a storage chamber, b. said container body comprising a closed end disposed adjacent said storage chamber and an oppositely disposed open end positioned in spaced relation to said closed end, c. said container body further comprising a throat portion having an elongated configuration and extending in interconnecting, communicating relation between said open end and said storage chamber, d. closure means removably securable to said container body in covering relation to said open for selectively closing said storage chamber, e. applicator means for dispensing the liquid material content of said storage chamber and connected to said closure means and extending outwardly therefrom into said throat portion, f. said applicator means comprising an applicator element positionable within said throat portion in inwardly spaced relation from said open end and in communicating relation to said storage chamber and including a transverse dimension sufficient to maintain continuous engagement with an inner surface of said throat portion about a periphery of said applicator element, g. vent means for venting air from within said container body to the exterior thereof, said vent means comprising passage means for venting air from said storage chamber to said open end in bypassing relation to said applicator element, h. said passage means including at least one passage integrally formed in said inner surface of said throat portion and disposed along the length thereof, and extending inwardly into said inner surface and substantially out of contact with said applicator element, i. said one passage being cooperatively disposed relative to said applicator element and its engagement with said inner surface of said throat portion and comprising a transverse dimension along its length to facilitate air flow and restrict liquid flow from said storage chamber toward said open end, j. said container body including a resilient material side wall structure disposed in surrounding relation to said storage chamber and selectively positionable between an expanded position and a constricted position, and k. said constricted position forcing liquid material within said storage chamber into engagement with said applicator element and air within said storage chamber along said passage means beyond said applicator element, through said vent means to atmosphere.
