Abstract

A peristaltic apparatus for dispensing a fluid, which contains a mounting plate, a container support/anvil connected to the mounting plate, a rigid container for holding the fluid to be dispensed, a flexible dispensing tube which is connected to the bottom of the container and which contains a check valve, a housing which encloses the container support and dispensing tube and an actuator which integrally contains a flexible spring bar which exerts a peristaltic force on the flexible tube, thereby forcing fluid from the dispenser.
