Patent ID: 10124921

Abstract:
A fluid dispenser for the foodstuff supply sector has a dimensionally rigid housing (1) with viscous contents, wherein the fluid dispenser is designed to receive tubular bags which have a dispensing device (7) that is fitted or can be fitted on the tubular bag (2) itself and that permits metered dispensing of the contents. Moreover, the tubular bag (2) can be inserted and secured in a predetermined position in the fluid dispenser, and an auxiliary device is present with which the viscous contents located in the tubular bag can be continuously pushed in the direction of the dispensing device (7) on the tubular bag, by mechanical application of pressure to the tubular bag (2) in the position of use of the fluid dispenser. To secure the tubular bag (2) in the housing (1), a clamping device is present. The auxiliary device is a weighting roller (3) which is mounted between two lateral guides (5) in the housing (1) and which, in the position of use of the fluid dispenser, bears horizontally on the tubular bag (2) and, by means of its inherent weight, is able to push the viscous contents of the tubular bag continuously to the dispensing device (7) on the tubular bag. The auxiliary device additionally contains position-stabilizing means with which the horizontal bearing of the weighting roller on the tubular bag, in the position of use of the fluid dispenser, can be stabilized.
