  • Publication number: 20240041235
    Abstract: A dispenser for dispensing a flowable food product from a flexible reservoir is provided. The dispenser includes a frame; a body coupled to the frame and defining a cavity for receiving the flexible reservoir and including a bottom wall defining an opening; and a fitment acceptor at least partly received in the opening. The fitment acceptor includes forward and rearward sidewalls. A radius of curvature of the forward sidewall differs from a radius of curvature of the rearward sidewall. The radius of curvature of the forward sidewall and the radius of the curvature of the rearward sidewall correspond with radiuses of curvature of respective front and rear ends of a fitment of the flexible reservoir such that the fitment of the flexible reservoir is only insertable in the fitment acceptor in one relative orientation between the fitment and the fitment acceptor.

  • Patent number: 11819147
    Abstract: 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.

  • Patent number: 10470597
    Abstract: 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.
