1. An apparatus for dispensing fluidic material which comprises:

  • an elastic tube having a wall with at least one transverse slit;

    a first clamping member attached to said tube on one side of said at least one transverse slit;

    a second clamping member attached to said tube on an opposite side of said at least one transverse slit;

    a joining member on which said clamping members are mounted to slide toward and away from one another;

    a spring means mounted on said joining member biased to force said clamping members toward one another;

    a forcing member on said first member in contact with said second member which, when activated, forces said first and second members to slide away from one another;

    a limiting stop means attached to said first and second members that prevents said first and second clamping members from separating from one another more than a predetermined distance thereby providing that said at least one transverse slit will be open to a dimension.
