Abstract
A food condiment dispenser is provided for dispensing fluid condiment materials, such as ketchup, mustard and mayonnaise. The dispenser includes a tubular body with a spherical plunger element connected to a spreader paddle member disposed within a tubular body. Upon external manipulation of the tubular body, the spherical plunger and spreader paddle arrangement is urged toward a dispenser nozzle for release of condiment filling contained therein. The sanitary spreader paddle simultaneously protrudes from within the tubular body as condiment filling is being evacuated. As a result, the user may evacuate the entire volume of condiment filling within the dispenser as well as spread the deposited condiment filling on a food article to be eaten.
Claims31
A dispenser for fluids, comprising:
- an elongated tubular body having first and second opposing ends;
- said first end being closed;
- a dispensing nozzle at said second end of the tubular body;
- a plunger disposed within said tubular body;
- an elongated spreader member connected to said plunger;
- and
- whereby said plunger, upon external manipulation of said tubular body into communication with said plunger, is movable within the tubular body toward said nozzle to cause ejection of fluid material out of said nozzle and ejection of said connected spreader member through said nozzle and outside said elongated tubular body into the open air for use in spreading the ejected fluid material.
A food condiment dispenser, comprising:
- an elongated flexible tubular body having first and second opposing ends;
- said first end being closed;
- a dispensing nozzle at said second end of the tubular body;
- a spherical plunger disposed within said tubular body;
- an elongated spreader paddle having a first end connected to said spherical plunger and a second end disposed adjacent to said dispensing nozzle;
- and
- whereby said spherical plunger, upon external manipulation of said tubular body into communication with said plunger, is movable within said tubular body toward said second end of the tubular body urging food condiment out of said nozzle and causing said spreader paddle to protrude through said dispensing nozzle into the open air external to said tubular body for use in spreading the ejected food condiment.
A dispenser for fluids, comprising:
- an elongated tubular body having first and second opposing ends;
- said first end being closed;
- a dispensing nozzle at said second end of the tubular body;
- a spherical plunger disposed within said tubular body;
- said plunger has an outer diameter slightly less than the inner diameter of said tubular body;
- an elongated spreader member connected to said plunger;
- and
- whereby said spherical plunger, upon external manipulation of said tubular body, is movable with the tubular body toward said nozzle to cause ejection of fluid material out of said tubular body through said nozzle and ejection of said connected spreader member through said nozzle for use in spreading the ejected fluid material.
A food condiment dispenser, comprising:
- an elongated flexible tubular body having first and second opposing ends;
- said first end being closed;
- a dispensing nozzle at said second end of the tubular body;
- a spherical plunger disposed with said tubular body;
- said first and second ends of said tubular body have internal surfaces capable of forming a complimentary mate with the outer surface of said spherical plunger;
- an elongated spreader paddle having a first end connected to said spherical plunger and a second end disposed adjacent to said dispensing nozzle;
- and
- whereby said spherical plunger, upon external manipulation of said tubular body, is movable within the tubular body toward said second end of the tubular body urging food condiment out of said nozzle and causing said connected spreader paddle to protrude through said dispensing nozzle for use in spreading the ejected food condiment.
