Abstract

A recyclable, reusable container includes a unitary molded thermoplastic container body having a closed bottom end, an opposed open top and a sidewall tapering upwardly and outwardly from the bottom end to the top end at a stacking angle of from about 2.degree. to about 7.degree.. The bottom includes an inwardly and upwardly directed dome-shaped region therein including a handle grip portion defined in an outwardly facing side of the dome-shaped region. The container body defines an open smoothly rounded container cavity without any undercut portions which is adapted to storably receive and completely discharge material contents placed therein for storage and dispensing. A stepped outward shoulder is provided adjacent the top end to define an outwardly stepped sidewall portion provided with external threads. An internally threaded cover member is releasably engageable over the top end of the container body to selectively close off the top opening of the container. The container bodies and cover members are configured so that they may be stacked in telescoping nested relationship in a manner providing a minimum of stack height for storage space saving advantages. The container and cover member are both molded from high grade thermoplastic molding materials adapted for reuse and recycling. The new and improved containers are specially suited for use in dispensing detergents and other cleaning agents employed in automated flush dispensing systems.
