Abstract

A container holding a supply of a volatile liquid material to be poured therefrom includes an upper pouring spout-forming section over which, in the preferred form of the invention, is placed a removable attachment unit which appears to be a vertical cap-forming continuation of the top of the container. The attachment unit preferably has a compartment opening to the outside thereof and containing a liquid-absorbing material into which a portion of the liquid volatile material of the container is ultimately poured when the attachment is removed from the container. In a less preferred form of the invention, the dispensing unit-forming attachment is removably attached to and preferably forms a vertical continuation of the bottom of the container.
