Abstract
A dispensing system for dispensing an associated substantially viscous product includes a dispensing system housing and a first container. The first container is disposed within the dispensing system housing and has an elastically deformable wall defining a changeable volume for containing the associated product. The elastically deformable wall is expandable between an unexpanded state and an expanded state. The first container includes an outlet through which the associated product is expelled. Potential energy stored in the deformable wall in the expanded state is operable to expel the associated product from the first container through the outlet. The dispensing system includes a selectively engage-able valve operatively fluidly connected to the outlet for controlling the expulsion of a predetermined amount of the associated product from the outlet. An actuator is operatively coupled to the valve to selectively engage the valve.
