Claim:
A multi-directional fluid dispenser ( 100 ) consisting of: (a) a screwed cap ( 110 ) covering an opening ( 122 ) of a squeezable container ( 120 ), the screwed cap ( 110 ) is secured to the squeezable container ( 120 ); (b) a channel ( 112 ) extending through the cap ( 110 ), the channel ( 112 ) fluidly connecting a closure spout ( 130 ) extending upwardly from the cap ( 110 ) at a top cap side ( 114 ) with a perforated straw ( 140 ) comprising a plurality of apertures ( 146 ) along the length of the straw extending downwardly from the cap ( 110 ) at a bottom cap side ( 116 ), the perforated straw ( 140 ) having a first end ( 142 ) and a second end ( 144 ), the first end ( 142 ) is disposed towards the cap ( 110 ) and the second end ( 114 ) is disposed towards a bottom surface ( 124 ) of the squeezable container ( 120 ); (c) a bag ( 150 ) enveloping a length ( 148 ) of the perforated straw ( 140 ) that is disposed within the squeezable container ( 120 ), the first end of the perforated straw ( 142 ) pierces through the bag through a bag aperture ( 152 ), the second end of the perforated straw ( 144 ) remains inside the bag ( 150 ), a fluid ( 160 ) is contained in the bag ( 150 ) to be dispensed, wherein a seal ( 180 ) is disposed between a lip ( 154 ) of the bag aperture ( 152 ) and the perforated straw ( 140 ); (d) eight vent holes ( 190 ) disposed on the cap ( 110 ), wherein the holes are radially and uniformly around the closure spout ( 130 ); and (e) a circular check valve disk ( 172 ) disposed on the bottom side of the cap ( 110 ), wherein the check valve disk ( 172 ) is supported by a circular support disk ( 174 ) adjacently below the check valve disk ( 172 ), wherein the check valve disk ( 172 ) and the support disk ( 174 ) are centered around and contact the straw ( 140 ), wherein the support disk ( 174 ) is smaller in diameter than the diameter of the check valve disk ( 172 ) such that the check valve disk ( 172 ) flaps over the vent holes ( 190 ) to form eight check valves ( 170 ); wherein when the squeezable container ( 120 ) is compressed, the squeezable container ( 120 ) compresses against the bag ( 150 ) and causes fluid ( 160 ) to enter the perforated straw ( 140 ) and is then squirted out through the closure spout ( 130 ).
