Abstract:
The present disclosure describes devices, systems, and methods for the production and/or delivery of a foamable and/or flowable material for consumption, such as by direct application to a consumer, such as directly to the mouth of the consumer. A device and/or system for converting a material from a first, unfoamed state to a second, foamed state is provided, and a device and/or system for converting a material from a first, non or semi-flowable state to a second, flowable state is provided.

Claim (Index 20):
An apparatus for serving an ingestible substance, the apparatus comprising:\n a container having a first cavity to hold an ingestible substance, the first cavity having a movable portion; a delivery nozzle forming a pathway from the container, the delivery nozzle comprising a distal portion extending from the container, and a proximal portion having an exit aperture from the pathway that is adapted to deliver the ingestible substance to an external food item; a valve mechanism coupled with the delivery nozzle, and having a feeding mechanism associated with the first cavity of the container to access the ingestible substance therein, the valve mechanism having a valve configured to regulate a flow of the ingestible substance from the first cavity through the pathway formed by the delivery nozzle; a consumer-operable flow controller mechanically coupled with the valve to control the valve to vary the flow between no flow and a maximal flow proportional to a degree of a physical force applied by the consumer to the consumer-operable flow controller; and a propelling mechanism coupled with the first cavity to generate a pressure against the movable portion of the first cavity sufficient to propel the ingestible substance from the first cavity, through the feeding mechanism and out of the distal portion of the delivery nozzle for delivery of the ingestible substance to the external item when the valve is controlled by the consumer-operable flow controller.
