A compound delivery applicator comprising a substantially conical portion comprising a first end configured to couple to a compound receptacle and an applicator blade coupled to the substantially conical portion. The applicator blade comprises a first portion extending outwardly along a longitudinal axis of and from a second end of the substantially conical portion, the first portion comprising a first side edge and a second side edge each forming an acute angle relative to the longitudinal axis of the substantially conical portion and a scraper coupled to the first portion distal the substantially conical portion. The compound delivery applicator further comprises a compound delivery channel extending internally through at least a portion of the substantially conical portion, the compound delivery channel further extending through the scraper of the applicator blade and configured to pass a compound therethrough.

A syringe for multi-component materials includes a mixer housing, a mixing element, a multi-component cartridge and a mixing head, the mixing head being arranged at least partly within the mixer housing and adjacent to the multi-component cartridge. The mixing head is arranged moveable in an axial direction of the syringe between at least two positions, the at least two positions including a sealed position and a dispensing position. The axial movement of the mixing head is brought about by rotation of at least a part of the mixer housing relative to the multi-component cartridge. The mixing head is axially displaced in a direction opposite to a dispensing direction on a displacement of the mixing head from the sealed position into the dispensing position.

A method for transferring a viscous material from a container into a dispensing syringe having first and second ends, the second end being a discharge port smaller than the inner diameter of the main body portion, includes inserting into the syringe a plug configured to permit gas flow in only one direction to divide a chamber within the syringe into a first sub-chamber in communication with the discharge port and a second sub-chamber in communication with the first open end of the syringe. Then, a rod is inserted into the syringe from the first open end of the syringe to engage the plug, and the viscous material is extruded from the container and through the discharge port into the first sub-chamber of the syringe. While the first sub-chamber is being filled with the viscous material, the plug and the rod are moving away from the discharge port.

A telescoping syringe suitable for use with medications and other materials is presented. The telescoping syringe includes a valve, a plunger, and a barrel. The valve further includes a barrier, an outlet(s) through the barrier, and an annular extension extending from the barrier. The plunger further includes an inlet(s) and a first side wall with a proximal wall. The barrel includes a second side wall with a distal wall at one end and an open end at another end. The plunger is extendable from and retractable into the barrel at the open end via slidable engagement between first and second walls. The valve directly contacts one end of the first wall so that an annular flange slidingly engages an annular groove. The valve and the barrel slidingly contact the plunger so as to open and to close the inlet(s) and/or the outlet(s). The inlet(s) in the open position permits gas to enter a first reservoir within the plunger as fluid is transferred from the first reservoir through the outlet(s) in the open position to a second reservoir within the barrel.

A syringe can be used to store paint and then apply the paint to a defect on a painted surface. In embodiments, the syringe is filled at the time that the paint is first used, the syringe then being stored for later use. Embodiments of the present disclosure include using a paint applicator as disclosed herein by pushing the syringe plunger to expel paint at a wall defect such as a nail hole.

A dispenser can prevent leakage of contents from a nozzle tip when stopping discharging the contents. A dispenser includes: a syringe body that has a filled space of contents, and has a discharge hole at a tip thereof; a plunger that is slid in the syringe body by application of a pushing force, to discharge the contents in the filled space from the discharge hole; and a piston that is formed of an elastic material and located at a tip part of the plunger, wherein a gap is formed between an inner peripheral surface of the syringe body and an outer peripheral surface of the piston, when the plunger is pushed, the piston deforms to narrow the gap, and a back leakage risk (=(gap area/final discharge hole area)) after the deformation of the piston is 0 or more and less than 1.

A liquid sealant applicator system that may include a liquid sealant applicator having a coupling to reversibly connect to a source of liquid sealant, a sidewall extending from the coupling and defining a sealant flow path, a flow restrictor that restricts the sealant flow path to an annular pattern of apertures in the flow restrictor, a porous matrix that fills at least a portion of the sealant flow path downstream of the flow restrictor, a matrix retainer configured to retain the porous matrix within the sealant flow path, and a fastener socket connected to the sidewall and having a distal end configured to be placed over and at least substantially enclose the head of a preselected fastener. The applicator is configured to provide a uniform application of sealant from the source of the liquid sealant to the head of the fastener enclosed by the fastener socket.

An ink-filled cartridge includes a cartridge, including a cylindrical syringe and a plunger, and an ink therein. The ink has a viscosity at 25? C. of from 50 to 2,000 dPa.Math.s. The ink contains one or more air bubbles having a diameter of 0.1 mm or more. A total volume A of air bubbles in a portion of the syringe corresponding to a distance from a lower end of a discharge nozzle of the cylindrical syringe to a mid-point between the lower end and the plunger, and a total volume B of air bubbles in a portion of the syringe corresponding to a distance from the mid-point to the plunger, satisfy: 0?A/B<1.0.

A compound applicator includes a nozzle assembly including a nozzle opening and a plug movable relative to the nozzle opening between a first position in which the nozzle assembly is in a closed state, and a second position in which the nozzle assembly is in an open state, a spring configured to bias the plug into the first position, a cylinder configured to receive and store a compound material, a main housing, a handle rotatable relative to the main housing, a pull rod having a first end coupled with the plug, and an input mechanism located at least partially within the handle and/or the main housing and configured to convert rotational motion of the handle into axial movement of the pull rod, thereby moving the plug from the first position toward the second position. The spring pulls the pull rod such that the pull rod is biased into tension.
