  • Patent number: 6367661
    Abstract: The present invention 10 discloses a main housing 28 having a slide track 30 with slide plate 22 attached above the interior orifice 32 of the release spout 24. Riding within the slide track 30 is a slide plate 22 controlled and operated by an external spring handle 26. The spring handle 26 consists of a pin 20 and lock device 40 in which the removable slide plate 22 is held captive. When the spring handle 26 is squeezed, the removable slide plate 22 is extracted from blocking the interior spout hole 32 allowing the batter to be released and then the spring handle pushes the slide plate back, riding within the track 30, in a closed position over the interior spout hole blocking the flow of the batter. The main housing 28 has a sanitary lid 16 that provides access to the interior of the housing to fill or for cleaning. Mounted to the exterior of the main housing are two stand adapters 18 which provide for attaching a four legged stand 44.
