Abstract:
1. A dispensing container fillable with a liquid, the container comprising: a squeezable reservoir for holding the liquid prior to dispensing; a nipple dispensing head which is integral with the squeezable reservoir and having a distal end and a proximal end, wherein a first cross-sectional area of the nipple dispensing head is smaller at the nipple dispensing head's proximal end than at least one point nearer the nipple dispensing head's distal end, a second cross-sectional area of the nipple dispensing head is smaller at the nipple dispensing head's distal end than at least one point nearer the nipple dispensing head's proximal end, and a third cross-sectional area of the nipple dispensing head is between the first cross-sectional area and the second cross-sectional area and wherein the third cross-sectional area is larger than each of the first and second cross-sectional areas and wherein the nipple dispensing head has a diameter at its widest point of from about 0.6 cm to about 2.54 cm; an outlet at the distal end of the dispensing head for dispensing the liquid from the container; a passage interconnecting the squeezable reservoir and the outlet; and a stop disposed near the proximal end of the dispensing head to prevent over-insertion of the dispensing head into a user's mouth when the container is used to dispense the liquid to the user, wherein a cross-sectional area of the stop is larger than the first cross-sectional area of the nipple dispensing head.
