VALVE FOR FROZEN DESSERT DISPENSING

摘要

Described is a valve for a dispensing apparatus which includes a source of a fluid product. The valve includes a main body engaging the source of the fluid product, and means in the main body defining a cylindrical chamber. An aperture provides communication between the cylindrical chamber, and a draw valve reciprocates within the cylindrical chamber, and has a convex first end adapted for selective engagement with a first end inner wall of the cylindrical chamber. A f luid product pay-out aperture is formed through the concave first end inner wall surf ace of the cylindrical chamber, for paying out fluid product from the main body, the paying out aperture being located at an angle offset from the central longitudin al axis. The draw valve includes a biasing mean for limiting the force that can be applied by the draw valve to the convex first inner end wall surface. The draw valve further includes a first component that defines the first end and the seco nd component toward and away from the convex first end wall surface of the cylindrical chamber. The biasing means is a compression spring located within th e draw valve.
