<p>The invention relates to a dispensing control mechanism (30) for use with a dispensing apparatus (10) of the type that dispenses a flowable substance, such as ice cream. The dispensing control mechanism (30) is mechanically linked with the dispensing apparatus (10) to which it is operatively applied in a configuration in which a displacement arrangement thereof, by its operation, can displace a closure member (18) of the dispensing apparatus (10) which permits or blocks the passage of flowable substance from the apparatus. Operation of the displacement arrangement is electronically controlled, the associated electronic control means enabling controlled dispensing of a flowable substance from the dispensing apparatus.</p> |
