Abstract:
1. A fluid condiment dispensing utensil for dispensing a fluid condiment onto a food product, the condiment dispensing utensil comprising: a handle comprising an elongate hollow body having a proximal end and a distal end, the elongate hollow body defining a condiment-receiving reservoir adapted to contain a condiment; a food-carrying portion operably coupled to the proximal end of the handle; a dispensing port in selective fluid communication with the reservoir, and positioned on the food-carrying portion; and a fluid pump mechanism selectively fluidly coupling the reservoir and the dispensing port, the fluid pump mechanism being adapted to pump condiment from the reservoir through and out of the dispensing port onto the food product upon actuation, wherein the fluid pump mechanism includes— wherein the food-carrying portion is shiftable with respect to the handle to actuate the fluid pump mechanism, such that when the food-carrying portion shifts toward the handle, the piston shifts within the chamber of the pump, thereby forcing fluid out of the chamber, through the hollow elongated barrel, and through and out of the dispensing port.
