This invention is a spray bottle having unique flow passages that when wetted provide restrictions that allow only liquid to be dispensed either in the upright or inverted position. A gas rejection device of numerous configurations are incorporated into the spray bottle with minimum or no additional cost to manufacturing the spray bottle. Liquid rejection devices permit air to replace the dispensed liquid in order to prevent the collapse of the plastic bottle without leaking liquid in the inverted position.

[ We claim:] [1.] Apparatus for containing and dispensing liquid contained therein while in any orientation, comprising:a container having a container wall forming a storage cavity, and an opening through said container wall into said cavity;ejection means mounted to said container;a dip tube having a peripheral wall, and a passage therethrough, said dip tube being mounted to said ejector means with said passage in fluid communication with said ejector means, and a port opening into said cavity at a location spaced from said ejector means;gas rejection means close to said container opening comprising a flow channel in fluid communication with said cavity, with said ejector means, and with said passage, said channel being so proportioned that when wet it will have the property to permit flow of liquid in said cavity to said ejector means, and to prevent flow of gas from said cavity to said ejector means, whereby when the container is in an upright position, liquid can be removed from the cavity through said port in said dip tube, and when in an inverted position with the port out of the liquid and the gas rejection means submerged in said liquid, liquid can be removed from the cavity through said channel.
