VISCOUS PRODUCT DISPENSER HAVING EXTERNALLY LOCATED, DISPENSED PRODUCT SHEARING OUTLET VALVE PROVIDED WITH LOST-MOTION ACTION of the Invention The actuating lever of the dispenser has an outlet valve flap integral therewith which moves in a shearing action across the outlet of the discharge spout as the actuator is returned to its standby position such that the returning valve flap cleanly slices through the bead of viscous product adhering to the spout and thus fully separates the dispensed bead of product from that remaining behind in the spout. A lost-motion action permits the valve flap to uncover the spout outlet before further depression of the actuating lever shifts the pumping piston through its dispensing stroke to force product out the spout.
