<p>The present invention concerns a dispensing device for a viscous edible product, comprising a storing unit for storing the said viscous product, and a dispensing unit with: (i) a flexible packing tube for packing and dispensing said food product, disposed within said dispensing unit such that it comprises a substantially linear portion adjacent its dispensing opening, (ii) compression means for pinching said linear portion of tube, said means being movable in substantially perpendicular and parallel directions relative to the longitudinal axis of the tube, (iii) actuation means for reversibly moving said compression means firstly in a direction substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the packing tube to releasably pinch at least one portion of said flexible tube, and secondly in a direction parallel to the longitudinal axis of the tube towards its dispensing opening, so as to dispense at least one portion of the product packed in the tube. The invention also relates to a corresponding tube-like package for storing and dispensing the viscous, edible product, and to a corresponding method of dispensing the viscous, edible product.</p> |
