Abstract

There is disclosed a retractable or self-closing dispense tip, particularly suited for dispensing viscous liquid. A retractable dispense tip is disclosed which comprises a hollow tube configured to collapse inwards under a resilient bias to close the tube. Also disclosed is a self-closing dispense tip comprising a hollow tube, wherein an end region of the tube is configured to close the tube under a resilient bias, the end region being responsive to positive pressure internal to said hollow tube to open the tube against the resilient bias. Other proposals comprise a mesh for controllably dispensing a viscous liquid, wherein the mesh is configured to inhibit the passage through the mesh of a viscous liquid incident on the mesh under ambient pressure, and to permit the passage of the liquid through the mesh responsive to a positive pressure on the liquid. Also disclosed are dispenser apparatuses comprising such dispensing tips.
