Zusammenfassung: | A reciprocating piston 140 with an integral valve 138 moves in a dispensing direction within a cylinder 86 to pressurise viscous material contained therein, such as ice cream or the like, thereby pushing it out of a dispensing nozzle 188 located at one end of the cylinder while simultaneously extracting viscous material from a collapsible container 40 into the other end of the cylinder by suctioning the material from the container. When the piston moves in a reverse direction, the integral valve opens to allow the piston to pass through the previously suctioned viscous material then within the cylinder. The dispensing nozzle includes a normally closed, spring-biased valve 190 opened by the force of the pressurized material, closing of the valve being assisted by a transient suction force occurring as the valved piston begins to move in the reverse direction through the material. |
