Providing a viscous material feed apparatus and a viscous material feed method capable of further reducing a viscous material remaining in a container, e.g., a bag, housing the viscous material.

A viscous material feed apparatus according to the present invention includes: a container (10) configured to include a bag body (11) with a housing space configured to house a viscous material and a spout (20) with a passage configured to deliver the viscous material in the housing space to outside; a squeeze portion (30) configured to squeeze the bag body toward the spout and move the viscous material in the housing space toward the spout; and a nozzle (40) having a hollow shape, the nozzle being configured to be freely inserted into the passage of the spout and withdrawn from the spout, the nozzle being configured to deliver the viscous material collected at the spout to outside.

A fastening system for fixing an object on a base includes a first receptacle storing an aerobic adhesive and includes an associated first withdrawal device. A second receptacle, separate from the first receptacle, stores a free-flowing substance and includes an associated second withdrawal device. The first withdrawal device is configured to generate an aerobic adhesive layer with a height profile on the base. The second withdrawal device is configured to generate a surface layer of the free-flowing substance on the layer of aerobic adhesive with height profile to form a layer, whereby volumetric incorporations or inclusions of the free-flowing substance are formed in the aerobic adhesive when the object is pressed onto the layer structure.

A dispensing apparatus is suitable for the reception of a collapsible cartridge including a dispensable medium. The cartridge and the sleeve can be arranged with respect to one another such that the sleeve can support a cartridge wall of the cartridge in at least one section thereof during dispensing of the medium. A length of the sleeve can be changed substantially parallel to a dispensing direction.

A roll-up grout bag apparatus includes a dowel with a slot formed therethrough from an open end to a closed end thereof. A lever is engaged with the dowel at the closed end to facilitate rolling the dowel about an axis thereof. The slot receives a filling end of a grout bag and is rolled onto the dowel using the lever to urge grout within the bag to be dispensed from an opening at a narrow dispensing end of the bag. The apparatus may include a ratchet mechanism to engage the lever with the dowel.

A collar and method are provided for coupling a casing with an applicator. The collar comprising: a body having a first end, a second end and an external surface extending therebetween; a bore extending through the body, the bore having an upper bore portion adjacent the first end for releasable engagement with the attachment portion of the applicator, and a lower bore portion adjacent the second end for securing to the casing; an internal partition extending radially into the body between the upper bore portion from the lower bore portion, and a sealing ridge connected to the partition adjacent the upper bore portion, the sealing ridge adapted to contact the attachment portion of the applicator to form a seal.

A new and improved food warming appliance comprises a housing within which a multiplicity of elongated sanitary sleeves or cups are adapted to be removably mounted and within which cheese dispensing guns are adapted to be respectively disposed. Respectively surrounding each one of the elongated sanitary sleeves or cups is an elongated aluminum tube, and respectively surrounding each one of the elongated aluminum tubes is an elongated flexible foil tube which has a heating strip operatively associated therewith. To complete the assembly, a suitable elongated tubular insulation sleeve respectively surrounds each one of the elongated flexible foil tubes. In this manner, when the heating strips of the foil heaters are energized, heat is transmitted radially inwardly from the foil heaters, to the aluminum tubes, and then to the sanitary sleeves or cups for, in turn, heating the dispensing guns whereby, for example, the semi-solid cheese products, disposed within the cheese dispensing guns, are sufficiently heated to predetermined temperatures which not only melt the cheese products and provide the same with the requisite fluidity for easy and reliable dispensing, but also renders the cheese products safe for consumption. Still further, a food dispensing station is formed by the food warming appliance and the dispensing guns.

A container assembly has a first container that operably houses a second container. The first container is configured to hold a first flowable substance, and the second container is configured to hold a second flowable substance. The second container is rupturable, preferably by manipulation through the first container, wherein the second flowable substance can mix with the first flowable substance to form a mixture. The first container is also rupturable to dispense the mixture therefrom.

The present invention is a material dispensing system for controllably dispensing material from a packaging such as a chub pack. The system can include a housing capable of receiving the packaging, a cover pivotably connected to the housing, at least one nozzle tip, and at least one piercing projection capable of piercing the packaging. A packaging compression assembly can be used to compress the packaging toward the piercing projection so that the piercing projection pierces the packaging and allows the material in the packaging to be dispensed from the nozzle tip. A locking slide can be included to secure the cover in a closed position.

A cartridge for a medium to be dispensed is disclosed. The cartridge includes a head part having a dispensing outlet, and a film forming a cartridge wall. The film bounds a cartridge chamber for the medium to be dispensed, and extends at least partially in a longitudinal direction of the cartridge. The film has a front end that is connected to the head part. The is a multilayer film having at least two layers formed from different materials. The front end of the film is sealingly and non-releasably embedded in the head part of the cartridge, such that an end face of the front end of the film is covered by the head part. A method of manufacturing a cartridge having a head part using a mold is also disclosed.

A nozzle is provided configured for applying sealant to a construction panel joint. The nozzle includes a nozzle body having a first, supply end, and a second, outlet end opposite the supply end, the body defining an internal passageway. Also included on the nozzle is at least one tooling formation located at the outlet end and constructed and arranged for tooling a bead of sealant dispensed out the passageway from the outlet end.
