Abstract:
A liquid and semi-liquid product dispenser that achieves high product extraction rates by using a product bottle that slopes downwards towards the feed valve when the bottle is placed for dispensing. This includes a long sloped portion that extends downwards from the rear of the bottle to the front of the bottle, and a curved and sloped portion proximate to the valve. These slopes feed product to the valve under the force of gravity when it is opened, and are able to achieve high extraction rates without active pumping systems or mechanical press systems. Installation of product bottles is simplified by an interior design of the dispenser case that mirrors the bottles contours and ensures that the bottle is positioned for use when placed. Installation is also simplified in that connection of pumps or placement of press systems is not required.

Claim (Index 15):
A valve adapted to be coupled with a bottle of a product, the valve comprising an upper frame and a lower frame, the upper frame comprising an upper aperture and the lower frame comprising a lower aperture, wherein\n (a) the upper frame and the lower frame are coupled so that the lower frame can slide along the upper frame between a first position and a second position, (b) when the lower frame is in the first position, the lower aperture is positioned below the upper aperture and a dispensing aperture is formed through which the product can flow, and (c) when the lower frame is in the second position, the upper aperture is blocked by the lower frame such that the product is unable to flow from the bottle through the upper aperture.
