A condiment dispenser dispenses a portion of a condiment held within a reservoir. The condiment dispenser includes a housing that defines the reservoir and a piston assembly that is translatable within the housing between a first position and a second position. A chamber insert is connected to a dispensing end of the housing and the chamber insert includes an insert bottom wall and at least one orifice extending through the insert bottom wall. A sealing ring is engageable with the seat of the piston assembly and a bottom wall includes at least one nozzle and is disposed below the chamber insert to define a void between the bottom wall and the insert bottom wall.

A system for dispensing a flowable food product from a reservoir is provided. A wall of the reservoir defines an aperture therethrough allowing the flowable food product to exit the reservoir. The system includes a valve having a base member having a first passageway extending therethrough and a moving member having a second passageway extending therethrough, the moving member configured to slide relative to the base member between a closed position in which the first passageway and the second passageway do not overlap and an open position in which the first passageway and the second passageway overlap. When the moving member is in the open position, an axis extending through the first passageway and the second passageway extends through the aperture in the reservoir.

Provided is a double container which comprises a relatively rigid outer container and a flexible inner container disposed inside the outer container and capacity-variable in response to an amount of a content thereof The double container is configured to contain, particularly, a high-viscosity liquid, e.g., a liquid having a viscosity of 1000 to 100,000 mPa/s, and to be easily produced by a forming technique having no significant difference from conventional techniques, wherein the double container for a high-viscosity liquid is capable of containing the content without causing oxidation thereof, while maintaining the outer container in its original shape or dimensions, and discharging the content by squeezing the outer container, irrespective of a level of a remaining amount of the content.

A system for dispensing a flowable food product from a reservoir is provided. The system includes a fitment coupled to the reservoir and a piercing tool having a handle, a neck, and a piercing section, wherein the neck interconnects the handle with the piercing section. The piercing section is configured to create an opening in the reservoir through the fitment to enable dispensing of the flowable product.

Apparatuses and methods are provided herein useful to open and discharge the contents of a packet or sachet. In some embodiments, a portable dispensing device includes a housing, an opening mechanism, and a discharging mechanism. In some configurations, the device includes a rotatable axle, a rotatable cap disposed at an end of the housing, and a roller element (coupled to the axle) that is configured to rotate with manual rotation of the rotatable cap, and a slot in the housing that permits at least a portion of the packet to advance through, wherein the slot and housing assists with pressing opposing packet walls together to discharge the contents of the packet. In some configurations, the opening mechanism also includes another housing slot where a corner of the packet may be fed and a knife element disposed to facilitate removal of the corner to thereby open the packet.

A condiment dispenser assembly having a main body integrating a plurality of pedestal legs adapted for supporting said body upon a horizontal surface and so that a dispensing orifice of the body is downwardly directed. A refillable interior reservoir of the body accessible through an upwardly arranged open top. A plunger assembly including a stem is inserted through the open top and displaceable within the body for dispensing a fluidic product through the lower orifice location.

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.

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.
