ABSTRACT:
A container and dispenser in conical shape for liquid or semi-liquid substances. The container features a rectangular rigid tab, two triangular notches on both sides of the tab at the height slightly below the tip of the cone, a perforated or indented scoreline to facilitate tearing off or cutting the top region of the tab, which is less rigid than the rest of the tab, where the top region of the container is made of a different material than the rest of the cone creating a zone of weakness at the indented dividing line between the top region and the rest of the cone and allows the user to easily tear off the top region of the tab and remove the top region of the cone opening a passageway in the tip of the cone where the substance can leave the dispenser by pressing the collapsible walls or back of the dispenser, without the need for a utensil. Also, a yarn or thread may be attached to the tab along the scoreline of the tab and the dividing line of the cone to further facilitate the tearing off of the top region of the tab and the cone. In addition, the middle region of the cone is made in a foil-like material that makes the cone re-sealable by pressing the walls of the middle region against each other.
