First Claim
1. A dispensing device for dispensing a foam, comprising:
- a manually compressible container for storing a liquid and air, anda foam-forming assembly to be attached in or on an opening in the container for forming a foam, the foam-forming assembly comprising;
a housing having an air passage and a liquid passage, each of which ending in a mouth and being in communication with a dispensing passage which ends in a dispensing opening, anda valve body which, in a rest position, covers the mouth of the liquid passage and the mouth of the air passage in a sealing manner in order to prevent a flow from the liquid passage and the air passage to the dispensing passage, and which, during dispensing, opens the mouth of the liquid passage and the mouth of the air passage in order to allow mixing of air and liquid to take place in the dispensing passage,wherein the housing comprises a first housing part and a second housing part, the first and the second housing parts being mountable in several positions with respect to each other, the ratio between the amounts of liquid and air to be dispensed upon compressing the container being dependent on the position in which the first and second housing parts are mounted with respect to each other.
