More particularly, this invention is directed to a dispensing container comprising a container body provided at one end with a resiliently compressible portion including a mouthpiece; a storage chamber to hold material to be dispensed; piston member arranged at the other end of said container to define a boundary of the storage chamber, the piston member being movable towards and restrained from movement away from said compressible portion; a top surface to define another boundary of the storage chamber; and an elastically compressible pump having an inlet valve in the top surface, an outlet valve, and a pump chamber between the valves, said inlet valve comprising an annular slot extending circularly in the top surface symmetrically to the longitudinal axis of the container and a circular cover ring hold sealingly in front of the annular slot and elastically under constant stress, the cover ring being held by three or more spokes radiating from a hub positioned in the center of the top surface.
