Abstract

A squeeze bottle is internally provided with a partition wall (2) forming an overflow edge (3) for producing a liquid stream which may be directed arbitrarily in any desired direction, especially for cleaning toilet bowls. A bottle mouth (5) is connected to the smaller chamber (4) separated by the partition wall (2). An immersion pipe (17) projects to the bottom of the chamber (4) and determines the direction of spray. This direction assumes an angle of about 40.degree. to the longitudinal central axis (7) of the bottle (1). By tilting the bottle, the chamber (4) may be refilled with the liquid present in the main part of the bottle (1).
