Abstract
A dispenser includes a body () the body including an asymmetric shape corresponding to a flattened product pouch. The body includes a row of teeth () extending longitudinally along the bottom of the body. A grip () is slidingly engaged with a bottom of the body and is coupled to a squeeze pusher () disposed within the interior space of the body. An actuator arm () is movably attached to the grip. A drive mechanism is movably attached to the actuator and is engageable with the row of teeth. For dispensing, movement of the actuator causes a corresponding movement of the drive mechanism which causes the grip and squeeze pusher to move relative to the body in a direction from the proximal end to the dispensing end, thus applying pressure to the pouch.
