Abstract
An icing implement including a collapsible bulb-shaped container with an enlarged discharge mouth, a discharge nozzle and an adapter collar interposed between the enlarged container mouth and the relatively restricted internal passage of the nozzle to effectively seal to both and provide for movement of material from the container to the nozzle upon an axial compression of the bottom of the container upwardly and inwardly into the interior of the container. The collapse of the container is effected in equal volume increments with the container retaining its collapsed position.
Claims20
A dispenser for viscous foodstuff comprising a container of generally spherical configuration, said container having a truncated bottom forming a flat support surface of a predetermined diameter, and a truncated top defining an open container mouth of greater diameter than said bottom, said container, for the full height thereof between said bottom and said top, being of a greater diameter than the diameter of said bottom, said container being axially compressible with said bottom being axially moveable upward into said container and toward said open mouth to a collapsed position, a collar, means for releasably sealing said collar to said container about said container mouth, said collar tapering upward from and in overlying relation to said container mouth, said collar having a top opening of substantially lesser diameter than said container mouth, a nozzle, and means for releasably mounting said nozzle to said collar in overlying communication with said collar top opening.
An icing set including a collapsible container, an adapter collar and a nozzle;
- said nozzle having a mounting end with an inlet opening of predetermined diameter, and a remote discharge opening, said container comprising a truncated, generally spherical bulb having a bottom and an upwardly directed mouth of substantially greater diameter than said nozzle inlet opening for the introduction of material for subsequent controlled discharge through said nozzle, said collar having a bottom peripheral edge portion forming a base with a base opening defined therein, said collar base opening being of generally the same diameter as the diameter of said upwardly directed mouth of said container, means for peripherally engaging said collar base to said container with said base sealed to said container and said base opening in communication with said upwardly directed mouth for the direct transfer of the material from said container to said collar, said collar having an upper peripheral edge portion forming an upper end with a top opening defined therein, said top opening having a diameter substantially less than the diameter of the base opening and generally equal to the diameter of the nozzle inlet opening, and means for engaging said nozzle mounting end to said collar with said nozzle inlet opening in direct communication with said collar top opening for the passage of material therebetween.
