Abstract
Aspects of the present invention are directed to a variable dose container. The variable dose container may comprise a container including a top portion, a bottom portion, and a side wall portion, the space between the bottom portion and the side wall portion defining an interior space, wherein the container stores contents within the interior space. The variable dose container may further include an actuator coupled with the top portion of the container that is depressible in a longitudinal direction to drive the contents held in the interior space of the container out of a nozzle protruding horizontally from the actuator. Additionally, the variable dose container may include a collar under the nozzle, a top circumferential edge of the collar containing one or more grooves of varying depth into which the nozzle can be inserted when depressed, thereby adjusting a distance the actuator is moved in the longitudinal direction.
