  • Patent number: 5551599
    Abstract: A dispensing device for flowing substances, especially food substances, comprises a valve arrangement (2) for controlling flow of substance from a container (3) out through a discharge opening (4). The container (3) is of the type that decreases its volume at the same rate as with which the substance is discharged from the container in order to avoid that the substance in the container there gets in contact with air. Between the valve arrangement (2) and the container (3) a conduit (6)is extending, which is co-ordinated with a pump arrangement (7) arranged to transport the substance in the conduit without getting in direct contact with the substance.

  • Patent number: 5439146
    Abstract: A dispensing device for flowing substances comprises a tube (19) of flexible material adapted to receive the substance in question from a conduit (13) and a valve arrangement (20) for regulating flow of substance from the tube out through a discharge opening (21). The valve arrangement has two or more valve parts (23), which are adapted to each other so as to in a first relative position shut the flow past the valve and in a second relative position open for flow therethrough. A cooling device (10) is arranged along at least a part of the conduit (13) for cooling the conduit and the substance located therein, so that particularly in the case of food substances a degradation thereof is avoided.
