Abstract
A container () is provided that includes a chamber (), a dispensing passageway and a resilient valve (). The chamber contains a viscous fluidic material. The valve () is configured to transition from a normal state to a dispensing state upon a discharge pressure being applied to the chamber () to allow the viscous fluidic material to pass through the orifice () of the resilient valve and to be dispensed from the dispensing passageway as a string of the viscous fluidic material. The orifice () is open in the normal state. The valve is also configured to return from the dispensing state to the normal state upon cessation of the discharge pressure, whereby the resilient valve () assumes a pinching state while returning from the dispensing state to the normal state in which the string of the viscous fluidic material is pinched off by the orifice edge.
