Dispenser and process

A dispenser for dispensing a flowable material, the dispenser comprising:

• a container having an outer wall and membrane collectively defining a first chamber configured to contain the flowable material, the membrane having a thickness and a weld seam, the weld seam having a thickness less than the thickness of the membrane, the container defining a longitudinal axis;
• and
• a fracturing mechanism operably connected to the container, the fracturing mechanism having a first extending member and a second extending member, the first extending member and the second extending member positioned on the container in spaced relation, wherein in response to deflection of the extending members towards one another, the outer wall deflects proximate the membrane wherein the weld seam fractures creating an opening through the membrane configured to allow the flowable material to pass therethrough and from the dispenser, wherein a plane is defined through the longitudinal axis wherein the first extending member and the second extending member are remote from the plane.

A dispenser for dispensing a flowable material, the dispenser comprising:

• a container having a cylindrical outer wall and membrane collectively defining a first chamber configured to contain the flowable material, the membrane having a thickness and a weld seam, the weld seam having a thickness less than the thickness of the membrane, the container defining a longitudinal axis;
• and
• a fracturing mechanism operably connected to the container, the fracturing mechanism having a collar and a first extending member and a second extending member, the collar extending around the cylindrical outer wall and being integral with the outer wall, the collar having a length that extends along the outer wall past the membrane, the first extending member and the second extending member connected to the collar in radial spaced relation and at locations above the longitudinal axis of the container, wherein in response to deflection of the extending members towards one another, the outer wall deflects proximate the membrane wherein the weld seam fractures creating an opening through the membrane configured to allow the flowable material to pass therethrough and from the dispenser.

A dispenser for dispensing a flowable material, the dispenser comprising:

• a container having an outer wall and membrane collectively defining a first chamber configured to contain the flowable material, the membrane having a thickness and a weld seam, the weld seam having a thickness less than the thickness of the membrane, the weld seam extending towards the outer wall, the container defining a longitudinal axis;
• and
• a fracturing mechanism operably connected to the container, the fracturing mechanism having a first extending member and a second extending member, the first extending member and the second extending member connected to the outer wall of the container in spaced relation and at locations not aligned with the weld seam extending towards the outer wall and wherein the locations are spaced away and remote from the longitudinal axis, wherein in response to deflection of the extending members towards one another, the outer wall deflects proximate the membrane wherein the weld seam fractures creating an opening through the membrane configured to allow the flowable material to pass therethrough and from the dispenser.
