Abstract

A container for fluids made of a container body having a flat bottom, a wall extending from the bottom, and a fluid-filling hole opposing the bottom. The wall of this container is made of an elastic material and has at least one internal stop. A actuation rod is disposed within the container and is made of a main rod, a head portion at one end of the main rod, elastic legs on the end of the main rod opposing the head portion, and at least two supports attached at an intermediate portion on the main rod. The elastic legs are in the shape of an inverted Y, and when the actuation rod is inserted in the container body the elastic legs contact its bottom. The supports contact the stop of the wall. A cap seals the fluid-filling hole of the container and has a discharge hole at its center. The head portion of the actuation rod closes the discharge hole of the cap when the container is assembled.
