Abstract: A dispensing device for flowing substances is attachable to a container and comprises an outlet tube of flexible material adapted to be dependent from the container and at the bottom terminated by an outlet opening. The dispensing device comprises valve arrangement for controlling flow of the substance through the device. Furthermore, the dispensing device comprises an intermediate piece comprising a first portion for releasably securing the outlet tube to the intermediate piece and a second portion for releasably securing the intermediate piece to communicate with a discharge opening of the container. The intermediate piece comprises a valve seat for restricting movement upwardly of the valve arrangement on squeezing of the flexible outlet tube.

Abstract: Mustard, ketchup and similar pasty matter is metered out and served from a dispenser, including a container and an attachable outlet pipe of flexible material enclosing a valve member. The container has one plane end face, permitting it to stand upright during storage, and an opposite, truncated end face, to which the outlet pipe is attached at a threaded portion. A restriction at the truncated end face defines a seat for a valve member, which includes an upper big body and a lower small body interconnected by a rod. The length of this rod is selected so the big body is held mainly inside the threaded container portion, but lower than its seat when the small body rests against the lower end of the outlet pipe.
