A dismountable pump system for quick and efficient cleaning of all pump components. The system includes a container associated with a back pump unit, a pump unit, a fastener and a lock member. The back pump unit defines a flow bore in fluid communication with an interior cavity of the container. The pump unit is removably attached to the back pump unit allowing for disassembly. The pump unit includes a pumping chamber in fluid communication with the flow bore when the pump unit is mounted to the back pump unit. The fastener is pivotably associated with the back pump unit, and the lock member is pivotably associated with the pump unit. The fastener can be pivoted to a locked position to secure the pump unit to the back pump unit, and an unlocked position to allow the pump unit to be removed from the back pump unit.

In one aspect, a condiment dispenser for discharging condiment from a condiment container is disclosed. The condiment dispenser includes a housing configured to surround at least a portion of the condiment container when installed in the housing. A spout extends from the condiment dispenser for discharging the condiment from the dispenser. A pump is positioned within the housing to force condiment to the spout and out of the condiment dispenser. The condiment dispenser further includes a substantially continuous flow path having an inlet configured to couple to the condiment container and an outlet in the spout for discharging the condiment, the substantially continuous flow path installed as a single unit from the inlet to the outlet and extending through the pump.

A dispenser for dispensing a flowable food product from a flexible reservoir supported by the dispenser is provided. The dispenser includes a frame and a body coupled to the frame. The body defines a cavity for receiving the flexible reservoir. The body includes: a bottom wall defining an opening; a sloped wall extending upward from the bottom wall and the opening, the sloped wall promoting a flow of flowable food product from the flexible reservoir towards the opening; and a pair of side walls extending upward from the bottom wall and the sloped wall. The dispenser further includes a fitment acceptor at least partly received in the opening. Additionally, a shape of the fitment acceptor corresponds with a shape of the opening such that the fitment acceptor is only correctly received in the opening one way.

A touch-free flowable food product dispenser is disclosed. The food product dispenser includes a main body, a pump assembly mounted in the main body and a cover member mounted to the main body. The cover member is part of an automated pump actuation unit that can be removably mounted to the main body such that the automated pump actuation unit engages a pump assembly supported by the main body. The automated pump actuation unit includes a sensor positioned to detect the presence of an actuation member, such as a hand, in proximity to the sensor. When the actuation member is detected, the automated pump actuation unit actuate the pump assembly to dispense the food product. The cover member and automated pump actuation assembly are formed as a single unit that can be installed on the main body to convert manual pump dispensers to touch-free dispensers.

Disclosed herein is a dispensable container comprising a container for a fluid; and a fitting for discharging the fluid from the container; wherein the dispensable container is monolithic and where the container and the fitting contact each other seamlessly; and wherein the fitting comprises a conduit that has a higher aspect ratio than the container.

A touchless condiment dispensing system includes a top lid; a dispensing system housing, the top lid allowing a condiment to be loaded into the dispensing system housing; a display screen to display operational aspects of the touchless condiment dispensing system; and a tray to capture drippage or spillage of the condiment after dispensing. The touchless condiment dispensing system includes a condiment serving space, the condiment serving space between the dispending system housing and the tray, and configured to allow a user to place a dispensing cup in the condiment serving space. The touchless condiment dispensing system further includes a base assembly in which the tray rests; and/or a dispensing support housing, the dispending support housing to connect the dispensing system housing to the base assembly.

The invention is directed to a dispensing device comprising a rigid container, a flexible bladder, and a rigid stopper. The container is adapted to contain a product to be dispensed. The flexible bladder is disposed below and in fluid communication with the container. The bladder comprises a top end, a sidewall extending downwardly from the top end and terminates in a spout. The bladder is in a liquid tight engagement with the container and the product contained in the container is adapted to flow into the bladder. The rigid stopper is disposed within the flexible bladder and comprises a top end, and at least one sidewall extending downwardly from the top end, and terminates in an open bottom end. The stopper comprises a plurality of through holes.

A new and improved touchless flowable product dispenser which is to be utilized to reduce the amount of bacteria and germs transmitted when a customer wishes to dispense a flowable product, such as, for example, various condiments into a container. This invention allows large quantities of the flowable product to be stored and dispensed without customer contact, thereby reducing the risk of germ and bacteria transmission inside of a restaurant, particularly during infectious disease events or calendar seasons.

The invention comprises a dispensing device having an elongated body, a sidewall which is elliptical in at least a portion of its cross-section, an open top end, and a dispensing bottom end. The device comprises a ratchet, ratchet support member, dial, telescoping members, and an elliptical plunger. The ratchet support member and dial each engage the ratchet to allow movement in certain directions and prevent movement in other directions, beyond a certain point. A first telescoping member is affixed to the ratchet. The exterior diameter of a second telescoping member is smaller than the interior diameter of the first telescoping member, such that the second telescoping member is configured to nest within the interior of the first telescoping member. The second telescoping member may be extended a distance through the dispenser body via rotation of the ratchet. The plunger is affixed to the telescoping member having the smallest diameter.

Disclosed herein is a dispensable container comprising a container for a fluid; and a fitting for discharging the fluid from the container; wherein the dispensable container is monolithic and where the container and the fitting contact each other seamlessly; and wherein the fitting comprises a conduit that has a higher aspect ratio than the container.
