A non-venting valve and dispensing package for fluid products and the like
includes a container of the type having an interior volume which reduces
as fluid product is dispensed from the package. A self-sealing dispensing
valve has a marginal portion sealing about an associated discharge opening
in the container, and a valve head with an orifice which shifts between
open and closed positions in response to the application and release of
pressure on and/or within the container. A vent resisting member retains
the orifice in the closed position after each dispensing of fluid product
from the container to prevent ambient air from being drawn back through
the orifice into the container.
