ABSTRACT:
A multiple-use container for viscous materials, such as soap, for example, includes a cylindrical body capable of receiving the soap, one end of which receives a removable lid and the other end of which has an integral bottom panel capable of serving as a conventional bottom for the container or, upon modification, as a push plate or dispensing member for the material. The bottom panel is joined to the walls of the cylindrical body by an annular, reduced thickness area or score line spaced slightly inwardly from the inner wall surface of the body. A second, concentric, reduced thickness area or score line, disposed approximately at the midpoint of the bottom panel, defines a removable access disc. The multiple-use container is capable of being used either as a dip can or as a self dispensing can. In the first mode, removal of the lid permits access to the interior so that the material may be dipped out. In the second mode, inversion of the container, so that the lid effectively becomes the bottom, followed by severing the access disc along its score line and the bottom panel along its score line permits the bottom panel to serve as a dispensing member whereby depressing it against the material will force some of the material through the access opening and render it available for use by the user.
