Abstract
Disclosed is a device for dispensing at least one bulk food product, which includes a first portion and a second portion, the first portion being capable of suspending a first side of the bag, the second portion comprising a pouring spout and a clamping mechanism configured for clamping a second side of the bag opposite the first side, and which comprises at least one first blade and one second blade, which are flexibly deformable between a closing position in which the blades are unconstrained and are configured to hold the second side of the bag closed, and an open position in which the blades are constrained to flex and move away from one another and are configured to release the second side of the bag so as to deliver the food product via the pouring spout.
Claims20
A dispensing device for bulk dispensing at least one food product, the dispensing device comprising a first part and a second part configured for holding a flexible packaging bag containing the at least one food product,
- the first part is configured to allow the suspension of a first side of the bag,
- the second part comprises a pouring spout supporting a pinching mechanism and a control mechanism for controlling the pinching mechanism,
- the pinching mechanism being configured to allow the pinching of a second side of the bag opposite the first side,
- wherein the pinching mechanism comprises at least one first blade and one second blade deformable in flexion between:
- a closing position in which the at least one first blade and the one second blade are not mechanically constrained by the control mechanism and are configured to keep the second side of the bag closed and,
- an open position in which the at least one first blade and the one second blade are mechanically constrained by the control mechanism to be deformed in flexion and thus move away from each other to release the second side of the bag so as to deliver the food product through the pouring spout.
