Abstract
A single use dispenser package is configured and sized for storing and dispensing a single serving of a liquid or viscous product. An elongated stem on one end of the dispenser package is provided, having an aperture adaptable for dispensing a variety of products, ranging from liquid to considerably viscous products. To prevent inadvertent emission of the product, and in order to keep the opening of the dispenser package closed and sanitary prior to use, a portion of the relevant end of the dispenser package is folded over on itself and sealed with a food grade adhesive. The food grade adhesive seal may be easily broken by the user for dispensing the liquid or viscous product. The single use dispenser packages are tube-shaped to allow for easy squeezing and emission of the product out of the aperture.
Claims9
A single use dispenser package for storing a serving of a viscous product, said single use dispenser package comprising:
- a container formed from a single unitary wall structure extending from a first end to an opposite second end, and said first end being closed and said opposite second end including an aperture defining a dispensing outlet, and said unitary wall structure including a first portion surrounding an interior chamber and a second portion defining an elongate stem surrounding an interior channel extending in fluid flow communication between said interior chamber and said aperture at said opposite second end;
- said interior chamber extending from said first end of said container and towards said opposite second end and terminating prior to said second end of said container;
- said interior channel extending between said interior chamber and said aperture at said second end of said container;
- said elongate stem being foldable, wherein at least one segment of said elongate stem is foldable onto another segment of said elongate stem, thereby pinching closed the interior channel and preventing passage of the viscous product;
- a food grade adhesive for releasably sealing together the folded segments of said elongate stem for preventing release of the viscous product stored in unitary wall structure prior to use of said single use dispenser package;
- said food grade adhesive being breakable by a user;
- and
- wherein squeezing said first portion of said unitary wall structure of said container forces the viscous product stored in the interior chamber through the interior channel and out of the aperture.
