Abstract: l. Device for dispensing a fluid comprising:  a container (2) with a substantially flat base (3), a plurality of side walls (4) connected thereto and an upper wall (5), which container (2) has at least two closable outlet openings (6, 7) wherein an applicator (8) is placeable in one (6) of the openings and the other opening (7) has a protruding needle-like dispensing member (9), characterized in that said outlet openings (6, 7) are arranged substantially on oppositely located sides of the container (2), the base (3) is situated between the outlets (6, 7), and the needle-like dispensing member (9) extends substantially to the plane of the base (3). 2. Device for dispensing a fluid characterized in that the outlets (6, 7) each have a centre line (C1, C2) and at least the centre line of the outlet (6) accommodating the applicator (8) encloses an angle with the plane of the base (3). 3. Dispensing device (1) as claimed in Claim l, characterized in that the centre lines (C1, C2) of the outlets (6, 7) are substantially parallel. 4. Dispensing device (l) as claimed in any one of the preceding Claims, characterized by a resilient stretchable sleeve (18; 26) arranged in the outlet (6) accommodating the applicator (8) and fitting closely round the applicator (8). 5. Dispensing device (1) as claimed in Claim 4, characterized in that the sleeve (18; 26) and the applicator (8) comprise co-acting cylindrical parts (19, 20) extending over a determined length, wherein the diameter of the cylindrical part (19) of the sleeve (18; 26) is at most equal to that of the cylindrical part (20) of the applicator (8). 6. Dispensing device (1) as claimed in Claim 4 or 5, characterized in that the applicator (8) has a portion (22) with reduced diameter for receiving an end edge (21) of the sleeve (18; 26) when the applicator (8) is placed fully into the container (2). 7. Dispensing device (1) as claimed in any of the Claims 4-6, characterized in that the sleeve (18; 26) is clamped releasably in the outlet (6). 8. Dispensing device (1) as claimed in any of the Claims 4-7, characterized in that the end edge (21) of the sleeve (18; 26) is divided by incisions (23) into a plurality of flaps (21') tapering to a point (24). 9. Dispensing device (1) as claimed in Claim 8, characterized in that the sleeve (26) has a number of layers of flaps (21; 25) each tapering to a point (24), wherein the flaps (25) of each layer are arranged in shifted position relative to those (21') of an adjacent layer. 10. Resiliently stretchable sleeve (18; 26) evidently intended to be arranged in the outlet (6) of a dispensing device comprising the applicator (8) characterized in that it is adapted with the dispensing device as claimed in any of the Claims 4-9 accommodating the applicator (8) and adapted for fitting closely round the applicator (8). 11. Sleeve (18; 26) as claimed in Claim 10, characterized in that the sleeve (18; 26) comprises a cylindrical part (19) extending over a determined length and adapted for co-acting with a cylindrical part (20) of the applicator (8), the diameter of the cylindrical part (19) of the sleeve (18; 26) being at most equal to that of the cylindrical part (20) of the applicator (8). 12. Sleeve as claimed in Claim 10 or 11, characterized in that the sleeve (18; 26) is adapted to be clamped releasably in the outlet (6) of the dispensing device (1). 13. Sleeve as claimed in any of the Claims 10-12, characterized in that the end edge (21) is divided by incisions (23) in a plurality of flaps (21) tapering to a point (24). 14. Sleeve as claimed in Claim 13, characterized in that the sleeve (26) has a number of layers of flaps (21'; 25) each tapering to a point (24), wherein the flaps (25) of each layer are arranged in shifted position relative to those (21') of an adjacent layer.
