ABSTRACT:
A compact bottom feed container is disclosed in one embodiment of the present invention as including a housing member having a top panel, a bottom panel, a front panel, a back panel, and two opposing side panels. A support assembly preferably engages the housing member to provide a free-standing dispenser. Disposed in relation to the internal surface area of the panels, an internal cavity may be formed having an internal surface area sufficient for housing a dry or fluid substance therein. In design, the opening is preferably disposed in relation to the housing member such that to provide a means for side-viewing the dispensing flow of the dry or fluid substance in the internal cavity of the housing member and through the internal periphery of the opening. Preferably, the bottom panel of the housing member is formed having a first end, a second end, and an intermediate portion disposed therebetween. In preferred structure, the intermediate portion of the bottom panel is formed providing a substantially declining surface. In addition, the intermediate portion may comprise two opposing sides formed having a radial curvature which is substantially disposed in fluid communication with the contiguous side panels of the housing member. Further, to assist in providing an effortless flow of the fluid substance housed within the internal cavity to the opening, the second end of the bottom panel is preferably formed having a radial curvature substantially disposed in fluid communication with the contiguous portion of the outer periphery of the opening, thus providing a means for directly feeding the dry or fluid substance into the opening without incorporating any shelves or dead corners.
