Abstract

A dispensing tap has a body which is attached or attachable to a container. The body has a dispensing orifice, and a piston movable within the body between a dispensing position in which flowable product can pass through the orifice and a sealing position in which fluid cannot pass through the orifice. The piston has one or more dispensing apertures through which product can pass when the piston is in the dispensing position to reach the dispensing orifice.
