[0001] The present invention relates generally to the field of confectionary production and decoration. More particularly, the present disclosure relates to an apparatus for dispensing one or more substances.

BACKGROUND
[0002] Background description includes information that may be useful in understanding the present invention. It is not an admission that any of the information provided herein is prior art or relevant to the presently claimed invention, or that any publication specifically or implicitly referenced is prior art.
[0003] Process of production and decoration of confectionaries consumes a lot of time, especially decoration part requires a lot of attention, care, and time. For example, during the preparation of pastry, cake, and other such items, a person may needs to devote more time in icing and other decorations than that required in cooking and preparing them. Moreover, this may prove to be too cumbersome and time-taking.
[0004] A person may try to do icing and decoration of such items with his/ her hands using his/ her fingers, which may be too cumbersome and may not be efficient. Moreover, such a method is unhygienic as it may result in transfer of all the microbes and other contaminating substances from hands of the person to said items.
[0005] The person may use spoon, knife, or a single nozzle filling equipment to complete icing and decorating, however, such things do not give very effective results and also consume a lot of time.
[0006] There is therefore a need in the art to provide an apparatus to overcome above mentioned and other problems, and for making the process of decoration and icing simple and easy.

[00049] In an exemplary embodiment, the apparatus 100 can be configured in form of a bag.
[00050] Thus, it will be appreciated by those of ordinary skill in the art that the diagrams, schematics, illustrations, and the like represent conceptual views or processes illustrating systems and methods embodying this invention.
[00051] While embodiments of the present invention have been illustrated and described, it will be clear that the invention is not limited to these embodiments only. Numerous modifications, changes, variations, substitutions, and equivalents will be apparent to those skilled in the art, without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention, as described in the claim.
[00052] In the foregoing description, numerous details are set forth. It will be apparent, however, to one of ordinary skill in the art having the benefit of this disclosure, that the present invention may be practiced without these specific details. In some instances, well-known structures and devices are shown in block diagram form, rather than in detail, to avoid obscuring the present invention.
[00053] As used herein, and unless the context dictates otherwise, the term "coupled to" is intended to include both direct coupling (in which two elements that are coupled to each other contact each other)and indirect coupling (in which at least one additional element is located between the two elements). Therefore, the terms "coupled to" and "coupled with" are used synonymously. Within the context of this document terms "coupled to" and "coupled with" are also used euphemistically to mean “communicatively coupled with” over a network, where two or more devices are able to exchange data with each other over the network, possibly via one or more intermediary device.
[00054] It should be apparent to those skilled in the art that many more modifications besides those already described are possible without departing from the inventive concepts herein. The inventive subject matter, therefore, is not to be restricted except in the spirit of the appended claims. Moreover, in interpreting both the specification and the claims, all terms should be interpreted in the broadest possible manner consistent with the context. In particular, the terms “comprises” and “comprising” should be interpreted as referring to elements, components, or steps in a non-exclusive manner, indicating that the referenced elements, components, or steps may be present, or utilized, or combined with other elements, components, or steps that are not expressly referenced. Where the specification claims refers to at least one of something selected from the group consisting of A, B, C ….N, the text should be interpreted as requiring only one element from the group, not A plus N, or B plus N, etc.
[00055] While the foregoing describes various embodiments of the invention, other and further embodiments of the invention may be devised without departing from the basic scope thereof. The scope of the invention is determined by the claims that follow. The invention is not limited to the described embodiments, versions or examples, which are included to enable a person having ordinary skill in the art to make and use the invention when combined with information and knowledge available to the person having ordinary skill in the art.
