Abstract
A dispensing device for dispensing a foamable product. The dispensing device comprises a dispensing channel (). The dispensing channel has: an inlet () for communicating with a valve-element () of a container () containing the foamable product; and an outlet () for dispensing the foamable product. The dispensing channel () further comprises a variable-volume cavity () at the outlet. The variable-volume cavity () is defined at least partly by a first component () and a second component () that is separate from and rigidly movably with respect to the first component to vary the volume of the variable-volume cavity () between a first configuration and a second configuration. In the first configuration, the variable-volume cavity () has a first volume and the outlet () is closed. In the second configuration, the variable-volume cavity has a second volume and the outlet () is open. The second volume is greater than the first volume.
