Abstract:
1. A dispensing appliance suitable for receiving a container and for dispensing a liquid contained in said container, wherein said container comprises a body, a mouth, and a closure provided with at least an initially sealed first dispensing opening, said dispensing appliance comprising: (a) a holding portion comprising means for holding the container, and (b) a dispensing portion comprising a dispensing tube with an engagement tip suitable for engaging into said initially sealed dispensing opening of the closure, to enter in fluid communication with an interior of the container, and pushing means to push said engagement tip, said dispensing portion being pivotally connected to the holding portion by at least one hinge to rotationally move from a loading position, allowing a loading of the container onto said dispensing appliance, to a dispensing position, allowing the dispensing of the liquid contained in the container, and wherein the moving of the dispensing portion from the loading position to the dispensing position drives the engagement tip of the dispensing tube through the initially sealed dispensing opening of the closure, wherein the engagement tip of the dispensing tube is translated along a rectilinear path by the rotation of the dispensing portion about the hinge to engage into the dispensing opening and is further pushed along said rectilinear path by the pushing means as the dispensing portion is moved into the dispensing position by said rotation about said hinge, wherein the pushing means consists of at least one rectilinear pushing rod fixed to the dispensing portion by a first end and by a second end of said rod, the first end being fixed such as to allow only rotation of said rod about an axis parallel to the axis of the hinge and the second end being engaged in an elongated slot allowing the translation of the second end of the rod along a length of the slot.
