Abstract
A dispenser for liquids, such as dish soaps. The dispenser includes a bottom-dispensing squeeze container with flow controlled by a pressure actuated, self-closing valve, and a base integrated into the container. The container is ergonomically shaped to provide a handgrip to allow gripping with either hand from any direction and to provide a natural location to grip and squeeze the container. The base threads onto the stand to support the container on a surface while preventing other elements, such as the valve, from contacting the surface and allowing for a liquid to be dispensed through the stand. An alternative embodiment is also provided that includes a sealing mechanism for transport of the dispenser.
