Patent ID: 7374069

Claim:
An apparatus comprising: an axially extending container defining a container opening and an interior chamber for receiving and storing a viscous food product; a discharge assembly coupled to said container and defining an input opening for receiving viscous food product from said interior chamber through said container opening and an outlet opening for discharging the viscous food product, said discharge assembly being dimensioned and arranged to spin or move relative to the container while receiving viscous food product from the interior chamber, said outlet opening being arranged such that said outlet opening moves relative to said container when said discharge assembly spins or moves to discharge received viscous food product as it spins or moves to form a discharge pattern; and a fluid transfer system operative to develop forces for causing the viscous food product disposed within the interior chamber to flow through said container opening and out of the discharge assembly, said discharge assembly being driven to spin or move by energy imparted by the flow of food product from the chamber of the container toward the discharge assembly.
