A sanitary, disposable dispensing assembly especially useful in producing
a substantially contaminant-free reconstituted mixture of diluent and
pure, preservative-free concentrate includes an inner member linearly
slidable between open and closed positions in an outer member provided
with a concentrate inlet. The dispensing assembly features a vent
arrangement for enabling a complete draining of the mixture and
preventing bacterial growth. A rib arrangement improves mixing of the
combined diluent and concentrate, and prevents dispersion of the mixture
when dispensed. The dispensing assembly is utilized in mechanical pump
type and non-mechanical pump type applications on a post mix food and
beverage dispenser.
