A fluid dispenser is disclosed for dispensing a fluid from a pouch having a discharge passage that extends along a tortuous path. The dispenser has a dispenser station and dispenser mechanism in the dispenser station. In one aspect the dispenser mechanism comprises a backstop on one side of the dispenser path and a cam operated cylindrical roller confronting the backstop located on the other side of the dispenser path. The roller is attached to a roller bracket which is pivotally attached to the interior of a hollow pushbutton. The pushbutton is mounted in an opening in the dispenser front cover. Springs are attached to the bracket and the front cover which maintain the roller against the flexible dispenser compartment of the pouch. Depressing the pushbutton forces the roller to trap the upper portion of the pouch flexible dispenser compartment between the roller and backstop to initially seal the dispenser compartment at its upper end and further pushbutton action forces the roller down the dispenser compartment thereby causing expulsion of the fluid trapped in the dispenser compartment.

A bag holder device having an anvil portion and an elongated member pivotally attached to the body member with the arm member having a bag engaging end portion for contacting the anvil surface. A biasing member is connected between the arm member and the body member to bias the bag engaging end against an inside surface of the anvil. When a portion of a bag is placed between the bag engaging end portion and the anvil surface, the bag is firmly gripped and any downward force on the bag causes a firmer gripping action of the bag by pivoting the bag engaging portion against the anvil surface. A filling machine is also presented wherein a pair of the holder devices transport a bag through several work stations with both holder devices being automatically opened and one of the holder devices being pivoted laterally to aid in receiving a bag between the pairs of holder devices.

A pliable, fluid dispensing pouch is provided which includes a flexible shot-chamber having at least two narrow spaced tortuous fluid pathways each leading to a separate discharge opening at one end of the pouch. The discharge openings are initially sealed closed by the presence of a sealing tab. The discharge openings are unsealed by tearing off the tab. The separate discharge openings are of a diameter suitable to prevent fluid from being hand or finger squeezed out of the pouch once the tear tab has been detached.
