ABSTRACT:
A dispensing device is provided including a container having a neck, a fitment mounted on the container having an elongated socket for receiving a roller therewithin and a valve member slidably mounted on the neck and communicating with an inner surface of the elongated socket. The valve member includes a transverse wall with a switch rib jutting outward from an upper surface thereof and projecting through a window formed on the wall of the fitment. A pair of slots flank the switch rib and partially traverse across the upper surface thereof and completely across a skirt projecting downwardly from the upper surface. Additionally, there may be a cutout area located between the slots. Both the slots and cutout area provide flexibility to the switch rib. Fluid communication between the container and fitment is achieved when a cap covering the fitment is removed. During removal, a projection on an inner surface of the cap catches the switch rib thereby moving the valve member upward and then through flexing of the switch rib disengaging same.
