Embodiment Construction

[0035] exist Figures 1 to 3 A dispensing container 1 is shown, in this embodiment a single use dispensing container 1 for storing and dispensing semi-solid food 2 . The container 1 comprises a hollow body 3 with a base 4 , a piston 5 with a passage 6 through it and a closing membrane 7 for sealing the container 1 .

[0036] The main body 3 in this embodiment is a thermoformed or vacuum formed yoghurt jug having a hollow cylindrical portion 30 , a base 4 at the bottom of the cylindrical portion 30 and a peripheral flange 31 at the top of the cylindrical portion 30 , the three are integrally formed. It should be appreciated that barrel portion 30 includes small draft angles and rounded corners (not shown) suitable for manufacturability.

[0037] The piston 5 is in the form of a relatively thin solid cylinder 50 having a passage 6 provided by a hole or bore 51 through the thickness of the cylinder 50 within which a tube or straw 52 is hermetically secured. The piston 5 is con...

Abstract

A dispensing container (400) for storing and dispensing liquid and/or semi-solid foods that has a hollow body (3), a base (4), a piston (405) with a passage (6) through it and a tube (52). The tube (52) is releasably secured to the piston (405) for movement with it and in fluid communication with the passage (6). The piston (405) is slidably received within the body (3) and movable along it toward the base (4) to dispense through the tube (52) a liquid and/or semi-solid food from the container (400).

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates generally to dispensing containers, although not exclusively, and more particularly to dispensing containers such as single-purpose or multi-purpose dispensing containers suitable for liquid and / or semi-solid foods such as Is yoghurt, ice cream (in frozen or thawed state), baby food with a consistency similar to paste or porridge, and / or liquefied or semi-liquefied fruit or vegetables eg for the elderly or infirm. Background technique [0002] Known single-use containers for yoghurt and the like are generally in the form of buckets having a square, circular or oval cross-sectional profile and a peripheral flange around its rim. These containers typically include a plastic and / or foil closure that is glued or welded to the flange. In use, the closure is removed to provide access to the contents of the container, which are normally consumed using a separate vessel, such as a spoon. For example, this configuration is not id...
