Abstract

A container (10) for dispensing a prede-termined amount of liquid through a dispens-ing tube (18) is disclosed. A valve (14) is di-mensioned to contain and dispense a predeter-mined about of liquid and dispense the liquid through a dispensing tube (18) in contact with the valve (14). The liquid is in fluid contact with the inlet port (16) when the base (22) is in a first position and out of fluid contact with the inlet port (16) when the base is in a second position. Thus, the valve (14) fills with liquid when the container (10) is in a substantially horizontal position while angling the container (10) removes the liquid from contact with the valve (14) and stops the fluid flow. Preferably the container (10) has a sealable, watertight lid (24) that receives the dispensing tube (18) and incorporates vent holes (34) to enable airflow into the container (10). The fluid inlet port (16) can be placed in the side or top of the valve (14).
