Patent number: 8464909Abstract: A dispensing device for a viscous edible product, with a storing unit for storing the viscous product, and a dispensing unit. The dispensing unit includes a flexible packing tube for packing and dispensing the food product, disposed within the dispensing unit such that it comprises a substantially linear portion adjacent its dispensing opening, compression components for pinching said linear portion of tube, compression components being movable in substantially perpendicular and parallel directions relative to the longitudinal axis of the tube, actuation components for reversibly moving said compression components firstly in a direction substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the packing tube to releasably pinch at least one portion of the flexible tube, and secondly in a direction parallel to the longitudinal axis of the tube towards its dispensing opening, so as to dispense at least one portion of the product packed in the tube.Type: GrantFiled: November 3, 2008Date of Patent: June 18, 2013Assignee: Nestec S.A.Inventors: Bruno Sadi Henri Delande, Bruce Funnell

Patent number: 8196786Abstract: A dispensing closure for a container that includes closure walls, at least one dispensing aperture, at least one closing element that is movable between a position where the aperture is closed, and a position where the aperture is open. This closure includes at least one actionable member that surrounds the closure walls and the closing element, and at least one connection element located between the actionable member and the closing element. The connection element is made of a material that is sufficiently rigid below a predetermined safety temperature, to connect the actionable member and closing element, thus allowing opening of the dispensing aperture by moving the actionable member and fluid above temperature so that the actionable member and closing element are disconnected.Type: GrantFiled: February 14, 2007Date of Patent: June 12, 2012Assignee: Nestec S.A.Inventors: Christophe Jean-Marie Yves Charlier, Bruno Sadi Henri Delande, Jean-Francois Andre Aime Delaunay, Pierre Henri Lebrand

Patent number: 7789276Abstract: A pressurized receptacle that dispenses viscous product from a container that has a dispensing valve. The dispensing valve has a valve pot that is secured in the container opening which seats a spring that biases a dispensing stack and a valve element to a closed position. The biasing position can be selectively overcome by a rotary collar that interacts with a helical ramp that can house at least one stud that drives the dispensing stack and thereby the valve element open to allow dispensation to occur.Type: GrantFiled: March 11, 2005Date of Patent: September 7, 2010Assignee: Nestec S.A.Inventors: Bruno Sadi Henri Delande, Pierre Henri Lebrand, Jean-Francois Andre Aime Delaunay
