Abstract
A dispenser for dispensing a viscous material contained in a flexible package has a hollow body extending along a longitudinal axis, a first end with a handle assembly, an opposite second end with a dispensing valve, and a cavity configured to receive the flexible package. A piston is movably disposed in the cavity for engagement with the flexible package to force viscous material from the flexible package. A diverter insert is also disposed in the cavity and is configured to receive the viscous material from the flexible package as the piston moves and divert the viscous material to the dispensing valve.
Claims10
A dispenser for dispensing a viscous material contained in a flexible package having a dispensing fitment, the dispenser comprising:
- a hollow body extending along a longitudinal axis and having a first end, an opposite second end and a cavity positioned therebetween configured to receive the flexible package;
- a plurality of dispensing valves positioned at the second end of the hollow body;
- a piston movably disposed in the cavity for engagement with the flexible package;
- and
- a diverter insert positioned in the cavity and configured to receive the viscous material from the flexible package as the piston moves and to divert the viscous material to the plurality of dispensing valves,
- wherein each of the plurality of dispensing valves are radially offset from the longitudinal axis and wherein the diverter insert has a first interior sidewall configured to receive the dispensing fitment of the flexible package and a second interior sidewall configured to radially outwardly divert the viscous material from the first interior sidewall to the dispensing valves.
