  • Patent number: 10765242
    Abstract: A dispenser includes a body (10) the body including an asymmetric shape corresponding to a flattened product pouch. The body includes a row of teeth (42) extending longitudinally along the bottom of the body. A grip (28) is slidingly engaged with a bottom of the body and is coupled to a squeeze pusher (32) disposed within the interior space of the body. An actuator arm (30) is movably attached to the grip. A drive mechanism is movably attached to the actuator and is engageable with the row of teeth. For dispensing, movement of the actuator causes a corresponding movement of the drive mechanism which causes the grip and squeeze pusher to move relative to the body in a direction from the proximal end to the dispensing end, thus applying pressure to the pouch.
