Publication number: 20240109088Abstract: A dispensing tip assembly includes a foodstuff additive dispenser for a pressurized foodstuff container. A tip body of the dispensing tip assembly may have low pressure zone in which fluid pressure is lower than fluid pressure upstream of the low pressure zone as flowable foodstuff from the foodstuff container flows through the internal flow passage toward an open downstream end of the tip body. The dispenser tip assembly may include one or more of duckbill valves tethered to one another, and/or a plurality of injection ports and/or structure for one-direction dispensing, and/or internal fins to couple to an actuator of the foodstuff container, and/or an anti-rotation device, and/or a collar for attaching a bulb or pod of the tip body, and/or an ergonomic and functional bulb.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 11, 2023Publication date: April 4, 2024Inventors: James David Wilson, II, Brennan Fogarty, Kevin Robert Martz
