Abstract:
1. A dispensing assembly for food or drink products, comprising: a receptacle for accommodating a food or drink product, comprising an opening; and a closure member for closing the opening, the closure member being mounted across the opening and having at least one outlet, and a stop member mounted to confront the outlet, the closure member being resiliently deformable, wherein the closure member is adjustable, by the pressing action of a user, from a first condition in which the outlet is open by being spaced from the stop member to allow the food or drink product to pass through the outlet to a second condition in which the outlet has been moved inwardly to a position in which it is closed off by the stop member, wherein the closure member is entirely resiliently deformable and has an inward facing surface that in the first condition is convex leading upwardly from an edge of the receptacle forming the opening, wherein the inward facing surface in the second condition is concave leading upwardly from the edge of the receptacle and smoothly transitions downwardly into a convex shape leading to the stop member such that the inward facing surface is deformed without the-presence of a predetermined deformation line.
