  • Patent number: 4119022
    Abstract: A dispensing head having a plurality of prong-like nozzles is useful for impregnating meat with tenderizing and flavoring liquids. It may be fitted onto a pressure dispenser of the conventional type containing a bag to hold the liquid, a gas pressure space thereabout, and a reciprocable dispensing valve. The head so utilized has an inlet leading to a flushable chamber communicating to several prong-liked nozzles which project on parallel axes from a meat pressing surface, preferably having a rim. Pressing this surface so spreads the meat against the sides of the nozzles as to seal them against the escape of liquid dispensed under superatmospheric pressure, thus forcing it to impregnate the meat. The dispensing head is readily flushed; and provisions are made for re-mounting on the valve stem without discharging the contents of the container.
