US Patent 9199834 Dispensing device

The present invention relates to a dispensing device for dispensing a liquid foodstuff product from a container, wherein a hose member of elastic and resilient material is connectable with the container such that product can be made to flow from the container into the hose member. The hose member is compressible in order to dispense product therefrom and it is designed so as to regain, by its own resilience, an original shape after compression thereof. A check valve is arranged to close in order to prevent product, upon compressing the hose member, from flowing back from the hose member to the container, and a discharge valve is arranged to open so as to allow dispensing of product from the hose member and to close when so done.
